Set in the Middle East, but not a typical "desert sheikh" story, Escape from Behruz features a baby, a secret, a controlling sultan (the hero's uncle), and romance!

Rashid will help Olivia and the baby escape the violence in Behruz, but he must guard his heart. He can't risk being hurt by her again.

Olivia has her own reasons for keeping her distance from Rashid. If he learns that the baby she's been caring for is actually hers--and his--she'll lose everything that matters to her.

Their escape involves traveling with nomads across the mountains into Iran. As they trek together by day and sleep beside each other in a tent at night, the attraction that has always drawn them to each other grows ever stronger, Can Olivia survive the trip without revealing her secrets and without losing her heart to Rashid once again?

Review

- Five Stars - Totally hooked. Everything was here! Who isn't invested in a mother with a small child who has to resort to intrigue in order to escape her palace home.-Between the Pages

- Discover how far the love for a child will push the limits of one's heart as two souls traverse a country in crisis to escape the clutches of power. Escape from Behruz is true romance that doesn't need graphic details to be erotic in its own way. Judy Meadows has done a remarkable job of creating turmoil of both the heart and the land as she brings a Middle Eastern love affair to life amidst the horrors of rebellion. -Tome Tender

- Rashid and Olivia have a love filled with ups and downs, misunderstandings and heartwarmingly sweet. Highly recommend! -Megan H., NetGalley

- A quick easy read I really enjoyed this book a fantastic romance well written with great characters perfect for a lazy day. -Sarah C., NetGalley

- Two aspects of this novel were above and beyond fantabulous, and those would be the scenery and the people. Firstly, the description of the landscape was indescribably beautiful. You can practically picture the sweeping beauty of the mountains. The second standout feature I really enjoyed was the people who helped our family make their escape. They represent the epitome of kindness, friendship and hospitality. We are provided a glimpse of a nomadic culture that is fascinating to discover. -Romance Novels for the Beach

About the Author

The author traveled throughout Afghanistan when it was still peaceful, and she lived in Iran for a year and a half. Her son Steve was born in Tehran. Her stories set in the Middle East aren't typical "desert sheik" stories. They're realistic stories about people with real quirks, foibles, problems, goals and PASSIONS.

I truly loved Escape from Behruz

September 6, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I truly loved Escape from Behruz. The exotic location, a fictional Middle-Eastern country, especially fascinated me. It skillfully blends two perspectives with a modern, yet exotic culture. It flies in the face of all the stereotypes we carry about the region. The characters are richly drawn, well developed and believable. The culture is intriguing and the plot is wonderful to see in a romance. I would recommend it to anyone.

Books set in the middle east are often prone to stereotypes and while I will not say that every character is as nuanced as possible, they all depicted with a careful hand. Judy Meadows draws on her own experiences to build a sensitive love story about a young woman trying to protect her child amid unrest, and the man who comes to her rescue.

One of the things I liked most is that it is in a different country with customs that I was unfamiliar with. The author gives the reader a glimpse into this culture. Meadows does a very good job of weaving the story between two different perspectives. This is a page turner and a quick, easy read.

Besides the plot suspense, this book provided a somewhat intimate peek into life and customs in Iran. Definitely looking forward to the sequel.

Escape from Behruz is a well written romance that draws the reader into story, giving a glimpse into Middle Eastern market places and lifestyle. I loved the descriptive passages as Rashid, Olivia and Jamal make their escape, the sights sounds, smells and people all culminating to paint a picture to delight the senses. Although Olivia and Jamal were threated by danger, most of the story concentrated on their escape from Behruz. The romance between Rashid and Olivia was ignited some years before and when they see each other again under dubious circumstances, they both realise that nothing has changed between, apart from the threat hanging over Olivia's head. Rashid doesn't understand her fear but nevertheless does what he must to get her out of the cauldron of unrest that is threatening to erupt. Whilst an Alpha male, Rashid doesn't come over as arrogant nor does he make demands. Instead his tender caring for Olivia and considerate preparations really touch her heart. I could easily see this book being made into a movie with beautiful stringed melodies wafting through the breeze as the party of bedouins make their way across the mountains. I really did enjoy this book and would be interested to see what Ms Meadows has as an encore. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.

Did this story accurately describe the locations from Behruz to the mountains into Iran? I have no idea since I’ve never been to those locations. The setting sounded authentic and aesthetically pleasing to me. Was the plot plausible or the story realistic? It was for me. I’ve never been on the run or in another country never mind a hostile one. However, from what I’ve seen on T.V. or in the movies, I thought the story was believable and entertaining.

The hero, Rashid and the heroine, Olivia, had an undeniable attraction towards each other that was tested throughout the fast paced, never-a -dull-moment plot. I had to lower the air conditioner down because of their chemistry. I was drawn to their love story and couldn’t wait to see if they took the risk to lose their hearts once again. As if the story wasn’t exciting enough we had to endure the Sultan of Behruz and his selfish manipulations.

I felt this story was more of a “how to get to from one place to another without getting caught” travelogue. My anticipation was bigger than it needed to be. Ms. Meadows missed an opportunity to engage me and keep me riveted. A case in point was how the Sultan of Behruz was portrayed. He was a man of selfish persistence. I had high expectations for the “escape” plot but it felt a bit flat. I guess it might make the story unpredictable for others but for me, I felt disappointed from the lack of surprise. There was so much potential but the story missed the mark.

Overall though, I was pleased with the happy ending and how all the plot threads were tied up. If the synopsis sounds interesting to readers as it did me, then I suggest you give it a try. I can honestly say that I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to my friends. It had enough good stuff to make it worth it.

Where to begin. I confess, I’ve been caught under the spell of Rashid, a protective and thoughtful man who has come back to Behruz to rescue his loved one from her golden prison and deceitful sultan. But let’s start from the beginning. Rashid is the nephew of the sultan of Behruz who has been married to an American woman. Unfortunately his wife died of disease leaving behind her sister who fell in love with Rashid. From their overwhelming passion she had a son. Under unpleasant circumstances, Rashid left Behruz to get back to the USA and Olivia is abandoned to her fate with a pregnancy. Since the sultan isn’t able to have an heir he convinces Olivia to give her son up for adoption. Her life is completely at his mercy so when a rebellion breaks out, Rashid is determined to go back and rescue Olivia. From this planned getaway the reader will read about a spectacular journey in which he/she will live and breathe the nomads life and its surroundings. Will they finally reach their destination and live their happily ever after? Will Olivia finally reveal the existence of her son to Rashid? That is the reader’s duty to discover. Let me just say that I enjoyed reading this book so much. The characters have a pure soul without any sort of prejudice towards a life that is so simple yet very particular.
