Another great read from Sandra Marton! Sheikh Salim and his employee, Grace Hunter, had a steamy affair. They couldn't deny the strong attraction between them, no matter how hard they tried. Here's a sample: "...he'd had her against the wall, her demure skirt pushed up to her hips...claiming her as he had longed to do from the first and to hell with the fact that they were still in the hall outside her apartment and anyone could have come along to see them, to hell with right or wrong, to hell with propriety." Steamy! Salim tried to keep his emotions out of the relationship--creating excuses for why he stayed the night in her bed when he didn't normally do that--but the truth is, he fell in love with her. That made her alleged betrayal an even more bitter pill to swallow. Grace disappears, and so does millions of dollars. When he tracks her down in Bali and tries to bring her back to the States to face trial, his plane crashes, they end up on an island, and Grace has lost her memory. At first I didn't think I'd like the amnesia aspect, but it worked well. Salim softened toward Grace and eventually realized she couldn't have done what he thought. She in turn basically fell in love with him all over again. The gift he brings her at the end is so sweet, I was hard-pressed not to go "Aww." I really liked this one. It's a keeper!
