  I love a good book about a hot Sheikh who ends up with an American woman. This one was just okay. It was short and there was instalove between the H and h which is fine but the story itself was rushed and choppy. It definitely had potential, the story was good but the delivery was lacking.

  I wanted to like this book but found it lacking in every way.
  
  Plot: never lives up to the potential
  Characters: shallow
  Flow: repetitive
  Writing and editing: several mistakes and typos
  Heat: nope, cliche after cliche
  
  Positive sides ... it was free on Bookfunnel, so I only waisted my time. Sorry.

  No, I won't be taking this book apart like I usually do. But here's gist:
  
  Chef needs to pay off student loans rather than default on them (like everyone else is doing). She allows herself to be auctioned off for $3 million to a sheikh of a fictional Mideastern country. A rich b*tch tries to seduce said sheikh and says nasty things about our little chef. Frightened that she'll actually be turned down, the rich heiress has little chef kidnapped to be murdered. The sheikh rescues chef from the trunk of kidnapper and professes he knows that our little chef is preggers. Cue closing credits around the two returning to sheikh's country.
  
  Couldn't get into the characters. The kids were more sympathetic than the hero and the heroine. There was absolutely no editing process happening. Very formulaic but extremely simplistic. If it was to follow the usual formula, the author would have to deal with more complicated subjects, and this writing project would be lasting longer than desired. I would offer my editing capabilities which also involves teaching writers how to be a better writer, but I doubt my offer would be accepted. I get the impression she might feel she doesn't need it because if she felt she needed help, she would have had an editor review her work by now. I'm not be snarky here, please understand me. The writing style is quire Mary Sue, and if you tell a writer that writes this way that s/he needs training, you will be shut down. No, I've learned my lesson not to offer anymore.
  
  I do not recommend spending $$ for this book. Better to read it via KU.

  When you have outstanding student loans and need money to finish school what do you do?
  Well Sonia a culinary student let herself be auctioned off to the highest bidder among a group of wealthy men looking for various women to work in their homes for a year to earn a nice sum of money. While waiting her turn to be auctioned, she meets the eyes of a handsome man, and she hopes that he will be bidding on her.
  When Sheikh Azar bids on her he has different plans for Sonia until he gets her to his home. His attraction to her is so strong and he’s not sure that he wants to let her go.
  This is a wonderful story with some suspense and lots of love. A really good book.

  A Risk Worth Taking:
  By Korkoi -
  Afar placed a bid on Sonia at the auction for her to be his children’s nanny, but something changed the more time they spent together. Unfortunately, not everyone was happy with their budding relationship, but a life threatening incident and an unplanned situation, makes them evaluate their relationship. The story has got enough vim and vigour, to keep you aroused and writhing on your seat with each page turn. You will definitely want to take a co,d shower after reading the book.

  This is the first novel that I read by this author. This novelette was not meant for me. I am going to try to review this novelette without giving away spoilers. First, this novelette is a quick read. On my tablet, it came in at about 87 pages. Second, since I knew it was a short story, I expected the pace to be quick. Therefore, the insta-attraction/love was not an issue for me. Third, I expected the story to be more about relationship development instead of a typical external conflict since it was short.
  
  Although the concept of this story–insta-attraction between a poor female (Sonia) and a rich, titled male (Azar Rahal)—was a good one, the author did not meet my expectations with the execution. I know some reviewers did on like the instant love scenes, but I expected that since the story was so short. For me, the love scenes could have been left out, since they were not enticing. The descriptions of each love scene presented as page filler, so I skimmed them after a while. In addition, the time frame of the story and the character's ability to grow. By the end of the novel, Sonia and Rahal had been together for four months. The initial time of the contract between Sonia and Rahal was one year. Although they were together for four months, by the last paragraph, it appeared they knew nothing of each other. I feel like the author could have gotten better use of the plot if she had used each month to highlight the changes in their relationship. Although Sonia and Rahal end up together, it was not a complete HEA for me. I like to see characters that grow and develop together. The end of the story made me feel like Sonia and Rahal spent their time together in bed instead of getting to know each other (throughout the story the author mentioned several times the couple had a routine of having intercourse day and night and not getting much done). I also think the introduction of Hilda and her plot line did not enhance the story. Hilda added an external conflict, but it was not a good one. I feel the author should have stuck with the internal conflicts of Sonia and Rahal and then the external conflict of his children, his culture, and the expectations of his title. The most annoying part of this story was the basic spelling errors that could have been taken care of with a beta reader or a proofreader. Overall, the story concept was good, however, the execution was lacking a full follow through, in my opinion.

  The story line was enjoyable but it felt rushed. I also didn’t like the exchanges with Hilda. It just didn’t seem believable at times. I did like the kidnap scene and the anger her boo showed when he saw her in the trunk. Her getting kidnapped was a complete shock! I also would have like to know how the guy stole the jewelry. However, I will read more from this author. Also, there were quite a few grammatical errors. #cillasbookmaniacs

  This was good but could have been better and I wish that the author had someone to check for grammar and typos. It was too short but the story was good. I have questions about the heroine and wonder about her family and if she had any family around. I am glad that Trevor and racist Hilda got their "just desserts"! Even though I wish that Sonia (the heroine) had a little more spunk towards racist Hilda (meaning......a strong verbal comebacks to her racist ranting)! She would not need to get physical (hit her) but I would fully understand if she did!!! LOL! Anyway, it was a nice story and Sonia and the Sheikh got their HEA!

  Alright, so I admit that I started reading this book holding my nose expecting a real stinking turkey. It wasn't as bad as I feared and considering its premise, not that bad. Not really my cup of tea, YMMV.

  Sonia and Azar
  
  **SPOILER ALERT**
  
  I know, I know you reverberating and think, "what, really?" I'm sorry to say but I found the story lacking, the characters seemed flat and the storyline although had all the elements of a romance structure still felt so flat.
  **SPOILER ALERT**
  The opening at the auction house was a good start, but once Azar won Sonia and they immediately fell into bed with one another some hours, more like minutes, afterwards just made everything seem so rushed. If only the story were a little longer I think I would've been a little more satisfied. I did enjoy reading about a different culture, learning new worlds specifically, I also wish I would've read more about the culture and learned about the customs of the El'Saiq.
  
  Overall a decent story, and a quick and easy read. There are a few errors, but those errors shouldn't ruin your reading experience.

  Um
  
  I couldn't focus on this story. Incorrect punctuation all over the place. The plot was decent but it felt like there were too many words and/or too many pages to explain one moment. I didn't care for this one.
