I'm not very religious. I don't sleep with a bible next to me so reading a book thats heavy in religion really doesn't matter to me. This being said I feel a little put off that the woman is muslim and a native of the country where this story takes place. Now it isn't because I'm not muslim and I don't want to read a story about a muslim woman. Actually quite the opposite, if more sheik stories (although this one was a very loose sheik story) had more native women used as the love interests I'd be happy. Its just because she felt more American than Omani, I didn't see really anything about her that would suggest a conservative woman which OK shes a modern woman but she wouldn't be as open as she was in this book. Maybe that is wrong to assume but I really cannot see a conservative native muslim woman who has been bought up btw in this culture for the most part to go and have sex without marriage no matter her being a divorcee. Just can't see it happening. I woupd have preferred to have read this book without the sex, kissing is most I would have liked to see. In the end the love story is lovely, I felt their connection I wanted them to be together but yeah the background stuff was annoying.
