Princess Samia Binte Rashad al Abbas is waiting for her appointment with Sadiq Sultan of Al-Omar,his office door is ajar and she can hear him talking on the telephone. He is discussing her with someone, and it is not very complimentary. Samia had always been shy and lacking in self confidence, mostly due to her treatment from her stepmother. Sadiq has asked to see Samia as he has chosen her to be his bride and queen. She is very reluctant but this marriage will have important implications for her country and her brother Kaden the ruling Emir of Burquet. Eventually she is persuaded, she believes that Sadiq has chosen her because she is shy and she has never been featured in the press, but has always kept a low profile. But she had no intention of fitting in to Sadiq's plans. She had always worked for a living, and fully intended to involve herself into projects that were close to her heart. This is a good story and well written as one would expect from Abby Green. The hero is as usual tall dark, handsome and very enigmatic. Samia is shy unassuming and caring. The problem I had with the story was, I found it hard to believe that a princess, heir to her brothers throne would be allowed to wander anywhere she pleased without her own bodyguards, and why was she so impressed with Sadiq's homes was she not used to opulence herself? I also could not understand why Sadiq was paying for her bridal clothes would that not have been her brother's responsibility and where was her family? It did not fit in with Samia's character instead she was portrayed as though Sadiq had plucked a ordinary girl from everyday life.

Abby Green
Abby Green nasceu em Londres, mas logo depois se mudou de volta para o cidade natal de sua mãe, Dublin. Ela cresceu lá, frequentando um colégio interno fora da cidade. Como filha única, o amor dela pelos livros veio cedo, e ela leu de Enid Blyton a George Orwell com voracidade. While on school holidays one year in her early teens, she discovered a Mills & Boon romance novel. The rest is history. Back in school, she would speed read the requisite reading—Wuthering Heights and Great Expectations to allow time to squeeze in a couple of Mills & Boon books a week! As time marched on, studying for exams and looking for work took time away from her romance books, although she'd always manage to make a dash into a bookshop and stock up when she could. After final school exams, and on receiving a place in Sussex University to do social anthropology, Abby took a year out to make some money. In that year, completely by chance, she got a job as an assistant director on a short film. By the time the year was up and she was due to take her place in college, she was working on Braveheart! So another year was deferred…then another…then another. College fell by the wayside and she pursued a career in film and TV in Ireland. She's very lucky to have had the opportunity to experience working abroad over the years on different films in Malaysia, Slovakia and Namibia. But the long hours and very unglamorous work began to take their toll after a decade! Her love for Mills & Boon books reared its head again. On the advice of a flatmate who often talked about trying to write a romance novel, Abby saw her chance to take another path. After noting the requirements for sending a submission to Mills & Boon in London, she sat down and set to work. Even though her career didn't happen straight away and with one rejection before her acceptance, writing for the Modern/Presents line of Harlequin Mills & Boon felt so familiar it was almost uncanny! To have been accepted and now published for the iconic Mills & Boon brand is a dream come true, and she hopes that you enjoy her books as much as she enjoys writing them!
