Hidden in the Sheikh’s Harem by Michelle Conder was a well written romance with an interesting concept of kidnapping plus marriage of convenience integrated in the romance.

The pacing was a little off at the start and it took a while to build up a good pace. Farah was an amazing heroine because she was smart, feisty yet had her vulnerabilities.bI loved the way she never backed down and held her own in the story. Zachim is an alpha hero who was really refreshing as a hero because he believed in love and being in a committed relationship. He was mature, responsible and was dominant without being a jerk. I loved him throughout. A little more background would have been helpful in making the characters even more memorable.

The romance was hot with some really well written love scenes. I did not buy into the conflict that much and it appeared too sudden and forced to me personally.

Overall, Hidden in the Sheikh’s Harem by Michelle Conder is an enjoyable romance but I felt it had a potential to be so much more.
