I loved that for a time within the novel duty trumped the idea that love conquers all, and personal feelings ere put aside as Jamal wished to do hat was required of him as a Prince. So this of course leads to them butting heads quite a bit. This goes against everything Delaney had been raised to believe about love, romance and marriage. In Jamal's world one marries for necessity and to be advantageous for your family, and men maintain mistresses for their 'needs' separate from producing heirs. This book discussed what it would mean to date someone from a different culture. Usually when Arab men a written in these romance, they are only Arabic on paper, they speak the language they may dress 'exotically' but the religion has been stripped away, and so of course are all the cultural norms. Jamal is a Prince used to getting his own way, as well as a man used to his countries standards and mores. I really appreciated that Brenda wrote these characters the way she did. I get exclusive rights from a man or nothing at all." Jamal's gaze hardened as he stared at her " I would never give any woman exclusive rights over me". Your body could be made of solid gold and sprinkled with diamonds -I still wouldn't touch it unless it was mine exclusively. "Let's Get One Thing Straight Prince" Delaney all but screamed. She's here and she's not putting up with player attitude just because he's the only man around. I really enjoyed reading their story as Delaney as strong stubborn and had a strength that was deeper than the Mississippi river.
Jamal is here in the house because his friend from Harvard offered him the place to stay for a month, and he's not leaving just because Delaney showed up. Jamal has recently brokered an important deal for his people and his principality and needs the time away before he goes home to assume all the duties of a Crown Prince.
Except when she gets to the cabin it's already occupied by Jamal. Her cousin knowing she needs the break offers her his cabin in the woods to relax for a month and she of course jumps at the chance for a little relaxation without her brothers interrupting her and getting into her space. She's recently accomplished her dream of becoming a Doctor and has graduated and is gearing up to complete her two year residency, but first she needs a much deserved break. This the first of the Westmoreland family saga and it starts with the baby of the family Delaney.
