But this book was a truly wonderful find and I wanted other people to discover it too. I purchased this book while it was free due to some promotion by the publisher I think but I would have paid $7 or $8; it is far and away the best book I’ve ever read on my Kindle.The book itself is laugh out loud funny. The characters are witty and like-able without straying into caricature territory. The plot treads several well worn tropes, but takes them on in a new and fresh way. For example, one of the female characters is masquerading as a man. It is clear that at some point, a reveal must be made. Even before starting the book, I felt confident that I knew how it would go, since all books that use this plot device are the same. But I was wrong! It was handled so differently from other books. I wish I could go into more detail without spoilers, but suffice to say, this book had several such pleasant surprises where the author turned tired plot devices on their ear. This is definitely a stranded-on-a-desert-isle book!”

Read it in one go, which means that the author did a few somethings right. :)” - Eve Smith “I enjoyed this book. Its fast-paced storyline keeps the reader involved and interested. It’s a romance but much more than that. It has mystery, intrigue and thrills. Morocco is like a picture painted for the background of the story.”
