Libby Fay is content with where she is now. She is a waitress at a very high end hotel that serves celebrities and royalty, therefore affording her very good tips. That is until Sheikh Rasyn ibn Bakr ibn Rahman al Jabar shows up and turns her world upside down.Rasyn needs to find a common women to marry. If he doesn't he will end up being named the new ruler of his county and he doesn't want that. He feels his cousin is a much better person for the job. When he sees Libby, he knows that he has found the women he needs. Now all he has to do is convince her he loves her and get her to marry him.I found this book intriguing. The story was very well written and the plot was interesting. The story held true to the time and the atmosphere. I liked the descriptions of the land and was able to easily visualize what the characters were experiencing. I did however, find this book lacking for emotion. I found Rasyn to be very demanding and pushy and I found Libby to be weak. When the story began there was no feeling between the characters and as the story progressed "real" feelings were supposed to have developed. To me, that didn't happen. I never got the feeling that the characters really cared for each other.Would I recommend this book to others? Yes, because all in all, it was a very good story.
