My expectations for this book were at first somewhat low, but upon reading the first few chapters, I had a change of heart. However, the author loses this reader somewhere in the middle of the book.

Sheik's Spell started out on a really good note. African American research scientist is rescued by handsome son of an Egyptian sheik. A romance develops despite their cultural differences... Just as the reader gets ready for a nice romantic read, he's given an unnecessary lesson in Egyptian rituals and culture. You find yourself midway of the book, turning the page in hopes the author will get back to said romance, but that doesn't necessarily occur until the last few chapters.

This could have been a great romance novel had the author spent less time attempting to educate the reader on the finer aspects of Egypt, and more on the love between the two central characters. I gave it a higher score than it deserved only because it held great potential.
