This book was not the best, but not the worst either. If you didn't have any really good books handy, it would be entertaining.

Kamal, the crown prince of El Zafir, will be taking the reins of power from his father soon, and to ensure the royal line, must produce an heir. Before Kamal settles down to a sedate married life, he decides to have one last fling, and chooses Ali as his target! Ali, a nurse from the United States, had been in El Zafir before, and Kamal had kissed her. Despite the passion in the kiss, she had assumed she would be shortly engaged after she returned to the States, and so she turned down his offer of a job in the new El Zafir hospital. Six months later, however, Ali was back, having been jilted by her doctor boyfriend for a "better prospect." Despite Ali's desire for the Crown Prince of El Zafir, she doesn't want just an affair - she wants love!

I've always had a fascination with the Middle East, so I love the setting. Ali is a character I can sympathize with, and I can't help but feel a little sorry for her after being dumped by her former boyfriend. I also liked the character of Kamal, he was everything you would expect - strong, loyal, regal without being domineering, and a bit aloof. He's passionate, but controlled. The secondary characters are good, and the sub-plot about Kamal's young sister, who is pregnant, unmarried, and causing a royal scandal in the process, is an involving one. This book, pretty much, is just about all I look for in a contemporary romance - an exotic setting, engaging characters, and a plot that keeps me entertained.

This book is the last in a trilogy, so it's a good "sequel" book to the other two romances preceding it. The lives of Kamal's two brothers, Rafiq and Fariq, are touched upon as well, but do not dominate the romance between Ali and Kamal (which is a good thing! :))
