For this being my first paperback romance/bodice ripper, I really enjoyed it! I love the incorporation of Palestinian culture and Arabic, and there were times I genuinely laughed and screamed when Leela cursed in Arabic. I felt the incorporation of Arabic was a little clunky and unnatural in the beginning, but it flowed a lot better as the book went on. I also didn’t love how at times it felt like the duke was fetishizing her? It felt kind of icky and weird, but as the book went on, it was pure unadulterated worshipping and love on the Duke’s end. Their chemistry was insane and I LOVED when the Duke called Leela

Venus

before he properly knew her name. I also nearly cried when Leela talked about her identity crisis with feeling detached from her culture and Arab dude if her family, because same! I’m now on the hunt to buy more books by Diana, because this book was like crack to me. The slow burn was perfect
