I picked this book up before I realized it was a "Hot Romance" and that was my mistake. What's classified as hot and so forth to me is awful plot and porn quality sex scenes. I'm sorry but canals, liquids gushing like Ol' Faithful, buds and technical and all other nasty terms for sexual body parts are NOT sexy or hot in any way, shape or form for me. It's ridiculous and shouldn't have a price tag. This is 2012, you can get porn for free.But I was impressed here. It's labeled hot but the sexy scenes weren't graphic for me and that was a shock. I chuck a book at the first canal, P word for a man's you know what and the V word for a woman's you know what. That's just not sexy. I know what's going in where and don't need a technical term or really any "cutesy" or crude name for it.But the sex scenes were tastefully done. That made me think the story would actually be good. It was, at least at the beginning.Then they go to the Sheikh's made up Arabian country and the story goes downhill faster that Lindsey Vonn.I honestly didn't care for either the hero or heroine. The heroine was Wonder Woman and could do everything and no wrong and was oh so special and everyone loved her eventually or immediately and she was just so Mary Sue perfect. While the hero was TOO STUPID TO LIVE. I had to pause and remember this guy is suppose to be the guy we like and root for. He's really a punk and so very weak. He's Middle Eastern so he's suppose to be an alpha male but he was like a sad, sad low rent beta hero. Maybe not even that. His reasoning for not wanting to rule the country are completely laughable and unbelievably because it's something a little 5 year old boy would do on the playground to make his friend feel better. Not a 30 something grown man.He was weird, this story was weird because the start was promising and sheikh books are such a hit or miss. A LOT of potential was wasted here.Pass it on by because you're not missing anything
