It turns out that Prince Khalil is in a forced marriage to a beautiful but sleazy Amber. He wants to find a way out of this engagement, but he cannot explain it without causing significant damage to the political solidity of his country.

Amber’s father is El Bahar’s prime minister, and he would be humiliated if he discovered of his daughter’s prostitute ways such that he would be forced to resign. On his way to New York, Khalil meets the beautiful Dora- the ultimate solution to this problem and immediately does not hesitate to lie and convince her to marry him. After all, he is prince Khalil of Khan. The first book in the series is a beautiful romance, full of clichés, and misunderstanding caused by the jealous ex-fiancé. Khalil is a brilliant hero, the romance in the story is well woven, and the plotline flows smoothly from chapter to the next.

The Sheik & the Princess Bride

Billie Van Horn is considered as one of the guys because, first she is a well-trained fighter pilot and instructor, and secondly, she works with her overprotective father and brothers. If a man interested in her is not turned off by the first option, he tends to get frightened by the second.

Then there is Prince Jefri of Bahania who meets Billie during his work while establishing a joint air force with the City of Thieves and El Bahar. However his royal pride is stung by the continuous defeats at the hands of the charming Billie, but he is also at the same time intrigued and attracted to her.

Meanwhile, King Hassan decides that it be time for Prince Jefri to marry again- after his wife has been a total mess. Apparently, the youngest prince of Bahania has not yet met his perfect woman up to this point, and he is more interested in the air force project rather than finding a woman, and so he agrees to an arranged marriage and soon enough forgets about the whole thing.

In Billie, Prince Jefri finds not only a gorgeous woman but also an independent woman who shares his greatest passion for flight. However, when Jefri fiancée arrives unannounced, things take a twisted turn and heartbreak seems inevitable.

The characterization in The Sheik and the Princess Bride is brilliantly done- both Jefri and Billie had both good and bad times- and they often overcome the bad times together. The plot is plausible, and the characters are relatable.
