"The Sheikh's Heir" [The Santina Crown Series, Book 2] by Sharon Kendrick

My Book Summary : Cinderella lands a Prince after all!!

Cinderella (Ella) has had to put up with people judging her all of her life because of her family, especially because of her father, but when she over hears Hassan (the Sheikh of Kashamak) saying judgmental and rude things about everyone in her family (and her by association) she gets mad. So mad that when she first notices him on the dance floor afterwards all she wants to do is punch him despite his authority and sexiness. Therefore, it's not totally surprising that not long after they meet, even though Ella does get swept away in his arms for a time, she tosses a glass of champagne in his face.

After that, all bets are off between them as their anger and sexual frustration turn to an all time high, leaving them both with a little surprise and many complications...

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars--two people deal with unexpected circumstances while overcoming personal issues of their own. I really liked how this novel went about bring these two together and then how they find ways to choose to stay together despite everything. The last chapter was great in wrapping everything up!

However, I am curious as to what happened to Hassan's brother, mostly because it was mentioned so much in the novel of Hassan wondering what happened to him yet it was never answered.

I recommend this novel to anyone who likes dramatic contemporary romances!

Book Teaser(s) :
'What's your name?'
Ella wished that her breasts would stop tingling and likewise the molten throb of lust deep in her belly. She didn't want to feel like this about a man who had talked about her family in a way which had made them all sound like some sort of gutter animals. She stared at him, defying him to contradict her. 'My name is...Cinderella.'
Hassan gave a slow smile. 'Is it now?' So she wanted to play, did she? Well, that was fine by him. He liked games---particularly of the flirty, sexual nature. ~ within Chapter 1
