Review by Romanceaholic:
"A very fast, light-hearted read, this book was absolutely wonderful. While at times it bordered a bit on chick-lit, in that there was a great deal of pressure on Chloe to accept herself for who she was, and to stand up to the people who were constantly taking advantage of her and making her feel inferior, there was a strong emphasis on the budding romance between best friends. Simon was delicious, and Chloe felt real, and I simply could not wait for them to get together."

Review by Dear Author
Grade: B:
"The Big Mis at the end is also handled nicely. It makes sense, could easily happen and be misconstrued just as it is. But I like that Jonas insists on knowing what has gone wrong, doesn’t try and lie about what upset Serena and seizes the opportunity to set things right in a way Serena can’t possibly ignore. Their public reconciliation will probably be the talk of Vegas for years. ... I’m having luck with the Harlequin Romance line. The heroines aren’t doormats and the heroes aren’t b******* – as plainly seen in “Inconveniently Wed!” Jonas is a sweetie and I think the wilder Serena will be good for him and his tie wardrobe."
A Dinner, A Date, A Desert Sheikh
“Caterer Emily Merit isn’t looking for love when she meets businessman Madani Tarim at a client’s dinner. She’s still getting over her controlling ex betraying her with her younger sister. Awareness grows between them when Madani hires Emily to do a dinner party for him, but he’s not free to get involved — as the heir to a Middle Eastern throne, he’s about to enter into an arranged marriage. Emily’s hurt when she learns the truth, but all may not be lost! Quite humorous at times, with beautifully written characters, this is a terrific read.”
