The Desert King's Blackmailed Bride by Lynne Graham, Ayumu Aso
3.0
This book is a little too juvenile for me to get into. Polly is the shy virgin who starts trying to discover her roots and somehow ends up in an arranged marriage with Rashad. i just did not understand their "chemistry", from their first meeting as they argue over ownership of a ring, Rashad sees Polly (can i say how much i hate that nickname? i had hoped they would transition her to her actual name throughout the story but nope) as a spitfire but her argument just seemed very childish and whiny.
What was the final draw of frustration was a scene where Rashad says he doesn't want to see her wearing jewelry that was his deceased wifes favorite to wear. A reasonable request imo, however Polly proceeds to fly off the handle and throw a tantrum because he's living too in the past and doesn't want to share him. For God's sakes let the man grieve! its just too much, which is disappointing because Lynne Graham is usually a must read
