Some of this author's newer novels have been misses with me. Including this one. I liked the different setting (Morocco), but was pretty much it. I didn't particular care about Clarinda or Ash. I also didn't like the harem plot-line. I kept thinking I would get more into it, but instead thought, "is...
ah Teresa.......Teresa Medeiros manages to make me shed tears more often than any other romance authors. Something in her stories always speaks to my sentimental self. This story is one of unrequitted love, going on 9 years long. When Clarinda was just 17 and Ash 21. Ash left to make a better future...
Well, that was a total waste of time.I think it's all that Harem setting that annoyed me the most. It was stereotyped and exaggerated so much, I mean who is Farouk anyway to have all that, I'm being a bit if a history geek, but during that time the Sultan if Morocco was Adbdulrahman, I'm quite sure...

Again I'm in the minority. I just didn't like this book. I greatly dislike sultans and harems so had I realized this book had both I probably would have skipped it. Don't get me wrong, I love Teresa Medeiros' writing style and her heroes and heroines are usually topnotch but not this time. Though ...
Beautiful setting! Loved the Moroccan backdrop, Teresa did an exceptional job painting the Middle Eastern desert, the sights, sounds and the character interactions and culture there. Everything felt so vivid and very real, I loved all the attention paid to every finite detail in the Moroccan culture...
This historical romance started out with a good plot as the story unfolded but then it started to get heavy with flashbacks and the action slowed down. I began to lose interest about halfway only reading a couple pages per chapter to get the gist. Aston's brother asks him to rescue Clarinda who is ...
Loved this book! I laughed and cried. The ending nearly ripped my heart out. The story was so sweet at times. Other times, it was very bittersweet. I had a feeling about what Clarinda would say to Ash about their past. There were beautiful lines in this book as well . My favorite, "God doesn't alway...
