Rou is a matchmaker who understands the laws of attraction from a purely scientific point of view. Zayed is a playboy sheikh who was once a hopeless romantic but now believes he’s cursed. Duty requires him to marry and he hires Rou to find him a wife. When they run out of time, Zayed asks Rou to marry him.
Rou is my favorite kind of heroine. She’s a little uptight and at first Zayed thinks she’s dull. She’s also independent, loyal, intelligent and not beautiful. Thanks to Zayed, she realizes that her world is absent of color, passion and hunger. After marrying Zayed, she longs for those things, as well as love. Loving him, however, is a risk because Zayed never would have married her if it hadn’t been his duty.
Duty, Desire and the Desert King is a sensual treat! This book will appeal to readers who enjoy opposite attracts romances.
