This is one of the series "Romancing the Crown." It is in my opinion the best in the series. Their love is so romantic and believe it or not it made me want to be a chemical engineer, just like the main characters!

I just couldn't get into this book. Usually with Harlequins I devour them in a matter of hours. This one took me several days to finish. For me, it was too dark. Hassan is a sheik who goes to an American oil company, in Texas. The company is owned by a man who is from a country which has been at odds with Hassan's. It is suspected that the oil buisness is just a front for terrorist activites, and that is what Hassan is there to investigate.

However, he did not plan on the CEO of the company being the lovely daughter, Elena, of the owner. As he thought the CEO was male. It is a clashing of old world and new world. And where Hassan actually stands in the end is a bit muddling. He clearly understands both ways of thinking, but I never was entirely certain which direction he leaned towards more. I did like how strong of a character Elena was--but the things in her life that happened, were just too horrible for me to really enjoy this book.

It is so close to not being a romance novel, I would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't something I had certain expectations for, which it fell short of.

The future of his people rested on second born son Sheik Hassan Kamal's mission : Infiltrate Rahma Oil and confirm that the company was a front for the terrorist group suspected of kidnapping the crown prince of Montebello. But his contacts had left out one important fact. The company CEO was a woman, the stunningly beautiful, seemingly innocent Elena Rahman. Courting Elena was the safest way to learn corporate secrets. But as passion between them raged, instant and hot, Hassan fought a losing battle against falling for the daughter of his country's deadly enemy.

this is a GREAT series, i really enjoyed all of the books
**Harlequin Intrigue** These characters conquer everything from kidnappings to murder mysteries, only to find themselves irresistibly drawn to one another!
