This is a True Love Mills and Boon novel written by Hana Sheik. The storyline is set mostly in Uganda. Yusra is a divorced Ugandan Muslim who is struggling financially. Bashir is a single father, a billionaire of Somalian origin who has worked his way up to achieve financial success. They realise there babies AJ and Zaire have been swapped when they are nearly 3 years old. They both love the babies they think of as theirs. They agree upon a marriage of convenience so they don’t lose this. Slowly this marriage develops in to more but can they both overcome their pasts and their emotional baggage and achieve a HEA?
I found this an interesting book to read. I think this is the first M&B novel which has had Muslim characters and I hope this teen continues. I enjoyed reading about Yusra’s modest clothing and Uganda in general. Both there characters are complex and there is a lot of baggage. Yusra has escaped an emotionally abusive marriage and has been struggling to maintain a living as a graphic designer, Bashir is terrified of intimacy and love as he lost his family during a flood in Somalia as a child and he is afraid to love again. There is chemistry between the pair but it seem very muted and almost off.

Really enjoyed this book. Great story idea which bound the characters together. Big build up of sexual tension and anticipation of when they would get together.

I liked that this story wasnt the usual boy meets girl romance - the storyline of a baby swap happening was different to the usual Mills & Boon. However this also made it quite unrealistic at times - and the solution of getting married to keep the hospital from trying to put the swap right seemed a bit far fetched.

I liked the setting and found it unique, I especially liked where she took him to her home town and it gave a great insight into another country
