Hilarious story! I liked the heroine. She was a little crazy and she had her share of insecurities and there were times I wanted to slap her but she was vivacious possessive and very passionate. Hero was kind and honorable, extremely nice for a PJ book! Funny and romantic read! View all 5 comments.

This was a good fun romantic read, exactly what I was looking for after having read a dark, intense, disturbing book. Petra was nice too although she behaved like a petulant child for a while after she discovers that Blaize is really Rashid.
Liked all the other characters in the book and absolutely loved the end scene where they reenact their first meeting. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a light romantic read. I really really enjoyed this book! It's been a while since I've been actively on the HQN wagon, and this book reminded me why I got on it in the first place yearsss ago! Book starts with Petra coming to know she's being forced into marriage, and her way to escape from this is to proposition HOT surfer man Blaize.
They have smokin chemistry of harlequin standards and later she comes to know Blaize is none other than her to be husband Rashid. I loved Blaize. Such a sexy intense character- though hi I really really enjoyed this book! Such a sexy intense character- though his POV was never written and we never know his thoughts except the lines in the end.
I also wanted an epilogue. Loved the possessiveness in both the leads. Aug 12, Lauren rated it it was ok.

And I remembered not being impressed with the hidden identity trope used in the book. And nor was I terribly impressed with how the h was being manipulated into a marriage by both her father and her grandfather.

This was a very cute love story. At times I found the Hero kind of moody and confusing. And the heroine a little dumb. But overall it was nice. May 11, Susan in Perthshire rated it did not like it. Seriously - when was this written? Petra is the most ridiculous heroine I have ever encountered in Mills and Boon. She is such a prig and I disliked her intensely. When she thought he was a simple surfboard guy,, she was an arrogant snob.
Such a smug, pretentious, unlikeable heroine!! She was prepared to lie to get out of the arranged marriage yet took umbrage when Blaize turned the tables on her. What a total hypocrite. Sorry Seriously - when was this written? Sorry this was so dated and awful. I am wondering if I read the same book as the folk who have given it 5 star reviews.

Once again, it's back to the desert for more steamy romance from Penny Jordan. This time the story is set up as follows: Petra, a girl of half-English, half-Arabian descent is being set up for an arranged marriage with Sheikh Rashid by her Grandfather. Now, she hasn't ever met said Grandfather before being as he disowned her mother when she married her English father. Understandably, there are some tensions underlying the relationship and Petra is not all that happy about being set up for marria Once again, it's back to the desert for more steamy romance from Penny Jordan.
Understandably, there are some tensions underlying the relationship and Petra is not all that happy about being set up for marriage with a stranger in this way. So she comes up with a cunning plan to get out of it - make out that she's having an affair with sexy beach bum Blaize, lose her reputation, thus rendering her unmarriageable in the Sheikh's eyes.
Until she falls for Blaize for real and cue, lots of soul-searching, angst, etc as well as some very romantic seduction scenes from "Blaize". There's also a few very well-written sections where Jordan seemingly pokes fun at the confines of the genre she is working within. Why, for instance, would the hero choose to name himself "Blaize"? And why should he choose to travel everywhere by Gondola? Romantic, yes, but surely it's quicker to go by car?
Okay, it's a Mills and Boon, and you don't have to have studied the genre extensively to work out that there's going to be a happy ending involving bagging a wealthy husband, an extensive portfolio of property, a whole new wardrobe and, bizarrely on this occasion, a racehorse.
Blaize is a very sexy hero who is almost human in that he isn't completely austere and unapproachable like Jordan's normal male leads tend to be. He's quite generous and forgiving really, all things considered. I enjoyed reading the first half of the book very, very much indeed.
Aside from the fact that you end up wanting to shake her though, this is a good story, with plenty of tension and plenty of twists and turns to the tale. Criticisms: The last section of the book is definitely not as polished as the first half. There are way too many exclamation marks - you just don't need them in a steamy romance - subtlety is the order of the day.
Plus, the narrative begins to skip about a bit towards the end as Jordan obviously attempts to hurry the story along and larger and larger time periods begin to get chunked out. It gave me a bit of a shock, I can tell you. I thought we'd gone into innuendo territory, which is most un-mills and boon like, until I worked it out. Towards the end, whole months are being written off with no explanation and one can only presume that Jordan was being pressured to complete this for a deadline.
Still, on the whole, this is a very enjoyable tale, with just a little bit more about it than your usual Mills and Boon. May 10, Crystal rated it really liked it. Speaking of keeping something big a secret and that is what happens in this book.
Petra doesn't want to marry Sheikh Rashid. She has never meet him but she knows that she won't go through with it. She has a plan to ruin herself so there will be no marriage. Blaze was at the party and she decides to ask him to be her pretend lover. Only thing is the more time they spend together the more it isn't pretend but really happening. Petra also finds out that Blaze was keeping a big secret the whole time.
Hi Speaking of keeping something big a secret and that is what happens in this book. His name is really Sheikh Rashid and she didn't change his mind about marrying her, he plans on still going through with his plans. Aug 04, Gwyneth rated it did not like it. Just no.

And Emily found it difficult to reject Matt's demands, especially since they were the same demands she secretly harbored Best Man To Wed?
