REVIEW: Seducing His Princess by Olivia Gates

Posted March 2nd, 2014 by in Blog, Desire, Harlequin Mills&Boon, Review / 3 comments

Seducing His Princess by Olivia Gates: Jala Aal Masood is a princess, but not of the Disney variety. She lost her parents young and was raised by three older brothers and staff. It was an unusual upbringing to say the least. Then she gets involved in a hostage situation 18467956and meets the one man destined to change her life.

Mohab Aal Ghaanem is a prince, and a trained assassin. He knew there was something special with Jala from the moment he saw her, but their families were mortal enemies. What could he possibly do? Then the hostage situation arises and he is sent to rescue the crown prince, and Jala is there. Was it destiny?

After Mohab, and his team, rescue the hostages and he gets over himself, he and Jala indulge in a passionate five month romance. Including a brief engagement which she ends. For six years they fight each others memories until one day Mohab realizes he might be able to end the fight. However will six years be too long to have been living in memories? Or will true love and happiness finally break through the lies and deceptions of the past?

Ms. Gates certainly gives us a story filled with angst and heartache. It was a good bones story but in many ways lacked the detail to really get involved with the characters. This might be because it is book three in a series and it might work better with the series rather than as a stand alone as otherwise the book was well written and has some great dialogue. I will advise that it is better for those who enjoy the “sheikh” genre rather than the “regular” contemporary romance. Definitely worth a read, but again probably better after the first two books in the series.

    What are the titles of the two previous books in this series? Usually Harlequin does not indicate on the book cover in which order or any reference to a “series”. This scenario leads me to the easier way to find out by going to the author’s name on Amazon. ( :

      Temporarily His Princess and Conveniently His Princess… also if you check out goodreads they are a great source to figure out not only what the other books are in the series but what order they are in. 🙂 Happy reading!
