Princess Maram Aal Waaked lives nearby and although her father was invited to a special event in his country, she goes instead and hopes to achieve her objective during the visit. While he has become a master at evading others, there is one female who is determined to not only get closer to him but also make him realize his true potential.

The treachery of someone very close to Prince Amjad Aal Shalaan caused him to become extremely distrustful of others, and he keeps those around him at bay with curt words to avoid prospective emotional entanglements, especially when it comes to women.

The woman whom Olivia Gates brings into his life is someone who is just as stubborn as he when it comes to giving up on a goal, and their scenes are frequently packed with quick-witted comebacks to delight the reader time and again.

His past is exceedingly heartrending, and I wanted him to find someone who could break through the impenetrable wall he has erected around his emotions. Perfect Conclusion to a Captivating Seriesįrom the moment Prince Amjad was met in previous books of the Pride of Zohayd series, his story was one I highly anticipated. All I can hope now is that I get glimpses of him again in the coming trilogy of his half-brothers.Īmjad (and Maram and the rest of To Touch a Sheikh) are a blast! I've re-read him twice already, and will do so again and again I'm sure. Oh, I so wished he was the hero of a continuing series, so I'd have more of his snarky yumminess. Have I mentioned the guy is FUN? Damaged and cynical as hell and off-limits and pure unadulterated fun with it all. I loved the two previous books in the Zohayd trilogy, but the highlights in those for me were when Amjad made an appearance. The bargaining they did across the bed before he finally succumbed and 'devoured' her, was one for the records. And when it came to the sex scenes, oh my! Those were some of the hottest, most emotional smut I've enjoyed. Their 'verbal duels' as the author called them were the best I've ever read. He's so thoroughly and delightfully snarky, every word out of his mouth had me giggling. Amjad is the most fun hero I've ever read.
