A Diamond For The Sheikh's Mistress

Probably one of the best Modern titles I have read in a while. I love me an alpha Sheikh, but Abby gave me a strong heroine to respect as well. And Kat is not the usual character that you find in books from this imprint.

"Once a liar… always a liar..."

Don’t be dissuaded, in that because there are still all the usual traits that you expect with a title from this publisher, but the author gave a real depth and emotion to this couples reconnection that sometimes is a little lacking due to the shorter length of the book.

"When you ran out of my apartment that night you left more questions than answers…"

I don’t want to say too much else about the plot as it will give away too much, but if you are looking for a quick, sexy and well written read then Abby Green ticks all the boxes with A Diamond for The Sheikh’s Mistress, I will definitely be looking to read more from this author in the future.

"I feel whole when I’m with you."

Sheikh Zafir Al-Noury, now King of Jandor, is haunted by memories of his affair with model Kat Winters, when she walked out over a misunderstanding.
Kat Winters, a model, irrevocably changed, has left her modelling career behind due to a tragic accident.
Thrown together when the Heart of Jandor is found and Kat is requested to model it, Zafir will lure Kat back into his life for unfinished business. All is not as it seems, and his quest to finally quench his thirst brings to light many past sins and mistakes made. Kat is unable to forget but she is unable to resist, where this will lead, you will have to read the book to find out.
The book is well paced, with a storyline quite unlike I have ever read, emotionally fulfilling, and sensually sexy all in one. The chemistry between the characters crackles off the pages! Definitely will keep an eye on Ms. Green's books from now on, as I couldn't put it down until I'd finished the whole book in one sitting.
This book was received free from NetGalley via Mills and Boon Insiders, but that does not in any way influence my opinions.

Most Engaging Read for Along Time, 5 Stars 🌟
Wow the first book of Ms Green's new series Rulers of the Desert is a powerful, emotional story with such engaging characters, that I found myself unwilling to put it down until I had finished reading.
(I don’t want to spoil the story for anyone but Ms Green covers a topic you rarely see mentioned and she covered it with a compassionate, sensitivity and honesty that brought an additional dimension to the book).
Ms Green really knows how to set the scene; we are introduced to our main characters Sheikh Zafir Al-Noury and Kat Winters 18 months after their traumatic break up. Memories of Kat are still haunting Zafir so when an opportunity arises to bring her back into his life, temporarily, using the recently recovered Heart of Jandor diamond. Zafir devises a plan to get Kat out of his system and put the past behind him, so that he can finally move on! But when he sees Kat and spends time with her again Zafir begins to question the past and the changes in Kat and realises just how much he had underestimated her. Can Zafir walk away from Kat as he planned or can the Heart of Jandor diamond reunite Zafir and Kat so they find there own HEA in the desert!
In addition to the main story throughout the book there are several references to the back story of Zafir’s brother the reluctant Sheikh Salim Al-Noury, with an exclusive extract at the end of this book of his story A Christmas Bride For The King. So although A Diamond for the Sheikh's Mistress is a amazing standalone if you loved this book or Ms Green’s writing in general then these teasers really whet your appetite for the second book coming soon!
Furthermore, I hope Zafir's cousin Raid Arnaud and Cassidy O'Connor will be having a future book as there brief appearance hinted at more secrets and an interesting story to come...
Fyi I received my copy from Netgalley and Mills and Boon via Mills and Boon Insiders, but this does not influence my opinions as all opinions are my own.
