The sheikh and the princess in waiting pdf

If I was Emma, I would have been bitterly ashamed of them. The author can write and there were some lovely bits in the book but the basic plot and one-dimensional characters defeated me I'm afraid. Jun 26, Virginia rated it really liked it.

Emma Kennedy met and fell for Reyhan in college, but she didn't know he was Middle Eastern royalty. Out of the blue, an employee of the US State Department arrives at the door of her Dallas apartment to issue and "suggest" she accept a two-week invitation to Bahania where she is shocked to encounter the man she thought had made a fool of her with a fake marriage.

Meanwhile, Reyhan has thought that Emma rejected him when he returned to claim her after a family emergency. He hates that his desire Emma Kennedy met and fell for Reyhan in college, but she didn't know he was Middle Eastern royalty. He hates that his desire for Emma, and later her rejection, weakened him back then, and even still she seems to hold him prisoner.

He's determined to get the king's approval for a divorce, but Emma starts to think marriage to Reyhan might be worth the risk. I like Reyhan, but his angst over being weakened by love seemed overblown and dragged out.

He has a happily-married brother and two happily-married brothers-in-law who could all give him some positive examples. His pain came from living without Emma, which he was setting himself up to repeat. I really liked Emma, who is intelligent and brave, without taking stupid risks. I would have preferred that Reyhan actually take some time to get to know Emma again; I'm not so sure they had enough time to really know each other before and the passing years have definitely changed her for the better.

Jun 22, Barb rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites. Emma would have known that. But married? Well, if the man standing before her--the very love of her college life--was to be believed, she was. And suddenly he was claiming to be a desert prince, too. Sure, they'd had a "pretend" ceremony and honeymoon in the Caribbean. But it was pretend, wasn't it? Prince Reyhan claimed his father, the king, had decided it was time for him to marry.

There was just one little glitch--Reyhan was already married. So, the king ordered Reyhan's wife--Emma--to a two-week trip to paradise before he would grant a royal annulment. But wasn't paradise the perfect place for love? I love all these primal tough Princes. They are afraid of love. They are afraid of loosing themselves. They are afraid of giving in. They are afraid of being abandoned.

They aren't that tough nor that primal. They all seem like children to me. Yet another good one. Dec 31, Mariana Bezerra rated it really liked it Shelves: read-in I liked Emma, but hated her parents. Its one thing to protect someone you love another really different is to suffocate someone.

And reading things book, following how Emma discovered their lies was so sick and twisted love. I understand it must have been an awful exper I liked Emma, but hated her parents. May 25, Delacey marked it as to-read Shelves: romance. An enjoyable quick read. The plot was good and different. I just had a hard time believing their past characters and decisions. Her "too innocent" at 18 to feel desire? Yet 6 years later and no relationships she suddenly feels desire?

He just leaves for a funeral and doesn't one take his new wife or two even tell her what was happening??? I just couldn't buy 3 stars. I just couldn't buy those aspects and that brought an otherwise enjoyable read down a star.

Nov 10, Maria rated it liked it Shelves: romance. The eighth in this series, this one is about Rahan and his wife Emma, who he abandoned six years previously.

The plot was a bit contrived and I don't get the princes in these books, since they all seem to have difficulty admitting that they love someone. I also can't imagine anything worse than living a public life, so there is little appeal in the prince theme. Aug 16, C rated it liked it Shelves: romance. I liked the male lead and I liked Emma, but the whole man-has-issues-dealing-with-love thing that the author has going on is getting a bit old. The melodrama in this novel is highly unrealistic but fairly entertaining.

Emma's parents are scum and she forgives them too easily. Overall this novel felt a bit rushed, for some reason. Apr 22, Prangon rated it liked it Shelves: adult , chik-lit , romance , sheik-books , read-in Mar 04, Chelsea Ortiz-Gonzalez rated it it was amazing.

The passion in this book alone was enough for 5 star review in my mind. But then the characters an their stories took it over the top.

Very well done. Jan 21, Debbie Dodd rated it it was ok. I enjoyed reading. Aug 27, Tia rated it liked it. This book was a tornado of love, it was almost sickening but decent.

Aug 15, Season rated it liked it. Good characters and story, but maybe a little drawn out for me. Being six years married and Emma didn't know it? That's rediculous Jan 21, Elizabet Luna rated it it was amazing.

This book almost made me cry thinking that there would not be a happy. So loved it. Can't wait to read the next story.
