Reluctant royal full cast I don t normally pick up historical novels that happen post 1950s There don t seem to be a lot of them out there so that isn t a big surprise but it just also seems to not be something I am overly interested in But when this book came up for review I have to admit that I was intrigued The whole middle eastern aspect was a great draw for me and while I don t know a lot about this time period no matter where on the globe it is the dangerous mix of politics love and forbidden sexuality moved me to take this book up for review. PDF Reluctant royal blue I liked that even though I didn t know practically anything about the political troubles in Iran during this time that this book made sure that I knew enough to understand what was going on I love history but even with all the troubles happening in the area now I just haven t had a lot of exposure to the middle east This book did a good job of making sure that I didn t get totally lost as I tried to figure out where all the problems were coming from. Reluctant royal car It also did a great job in setting up Karachi I loved the various trips to the markets and the overall feel of the place I would have loved for them to have spent time in the city proper so that I could have experienced of it It was fascinating. Reluctant royal location My biggest stumbling block was Grady There was nothing wrong with him on the whole but his attitude and his actions screamed Privileged White Male While I agree with just about everything he said he tended to come off as if he needed to educate poor Kam on how the world really works Which was a bit ridiculous his father s and the United States political position but especially Kam whom he claims to love and yet he blithely ignores it time and again He keeps saying he gets it but his actions leave quite a bit to be desired. Reluctant royalist daily This book had a great story and a good backing but Grady just made it a bit hard for me to ever truly commit to it Had Grady been a bit older and probably a bit less childish I think this story would have really been great But his attitude and actions just kinda spoiled a lot of this story for me.

Reluctant royalist I was really pulled into this historical novel the elements of uprising and homophobia are ever present Grady and Kam must guard themselves from everyone knowing that one slip up could mean death It gives an edge of desperation to their love story and sexytimes Add to that Iran s political powder keg is poised for explosion Kam s uncle the Shah of Iran is under incredible pressure to maintain control of his country and Ayatollah Khomeni is urging the populace to violence from his exile in Paris Civil war is on the horizon and it s even imperative to Grady to convince Kam to flee and seek asylum What good could come from Kam returning to Iran on the brink of war he repeatedly argues I absolutely loved the elements of Pakistani and Muslim culture that were woven into this book The Persian poetry the caste system the daily calls to prayer all of this helped me to feel as if I was sitting beside Grady learning it all as he did Even the philosophy of the royalty who claim their culture is Persian not Iranian Having known people who fled Iran in the uprising those comments rang true to my own personal experiences. Reluctantly royal erin nicholas epub The end is a thrill ride I couldn t set the book down until I hit the last page because I feared it would all go very very wrong That said I really appreciated the Epilogue for not being a saccharine And they lived happily ever after cop out While I m the first to swoon for wedding bells and HEAs these characters faced real impediments to their continued happiness and the Epilogue while assuring the reader that Kam and Grady get resolution is not the hearts and flowers type of ending It s a real life is hard and we work through it every day ending and I respected that I left the book wishing I d known a bit about Iran s uprising in 1978 but also recognizing that unrest in Iran continues and forty years later the Shah s enlightened ways those which were overthrown in the civil war have support with the populace It s interesting times both then and now and I applaud the author for bringing ethnic and religious diversity to the genre I d recommend this to anyone who enjoys near historical romance and diverse ethnic characters. Reluctant royal full cast A review copy of this book was provided by Dreamspinner Press Reluctant Royal RushedI m conflicted about this book I liked a lot about it but if I m being honest with myself what I liked most were the historical references rather than the romance For the past few years I ve become increasingly convinced that this time period between Iran and the U. Ebook reluctant royals Kam nephew to the Shah is living in Karachi just prior to his ousting in favor of Ayatollah Khomeini He s a prince and has ties to the imams Due in large part to his sexual orientation as well as his pernicious father he s spent very little time in Iran He was sent to boarding school in England very young then proceeded to make every excuse to stay until family obligations brought him back namely making a good marriage His time is running out when he meets Grady at a diplomatic dinner Grady is 18 and reads 18 He s idealistic and earnest Naturally Grady is in love with Kam in the span of 2 days so instalove Instalove and I are strange bedfellows Sometimes it works for me and sometimes I fear my eyeballs will get stuck like that And sometimes I find myself with a book like Yesterday where I can believe an 18 yr old capable of falling instantly in love with a near stranger but I never truly felt it Maybe that s because it s all told from Grady s perspective and Kam seems so reserved Maybe it s because the bulk of the book happens over the span of about a week and a half Nevertheless the fact remains I didn t invest in them I was told too much and not shown enough I need to see the relationship develop through the innocuous caresses stolen moments softly spoken words and yes I want to roll around in the sappy nectar of the can t live without you kind of love I also need for that to continuously be woven throughout the story and it wasn t I want to be made to believe it to be taken on the ride and for words like the below to translate to the page Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. Reluctant royal car The sex is medium hot with a winning buttsex deflowering They spar pretty frequently so there is passion But I think the opportunity to show how possessive Kam can be was lost and that could ve taken this book from 3 to 4 hearts I also think these characters weren t fully developed they re still two dimensional to me Maybe if things weren t so rushed and given time to breathe this book had the potential to be great but it s just out of reach As I previously mentioned Kam has ties to the imams He s a devout Muslim who s loyal and loves his country He hates that it s in such upheaval but he s resigned himself to this sham marriage and doing what he can to stabilize Iran Then he does a 180 and wants to defect to the U. Reluctant royal where booked S A country he fundamentally mistrusts Why Rhetorical question I know why but it made me lose a tiny bit of respect for him To my mind he could ve been instrumental in the transition and possibly avoided bloodshed It wouldn t have been historically accurate nor would it have provided an HEA but it seemed out of character and disingenuous I sometimes wish authors would take the road less traveled be bold and break our hearts instead of playing it safe and giving an HEA that s forced. Reluctant royal hallmark cast It s probably just me shrugs So a mixed bag I enjoyed the Italians the turtles and the historical references but the romance was superficial and disappointing The epilogue I found unnecessary and meandering An ARC was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review Reluctant Royal Unique and so good Reluctant Royal 3. Reluctant royal cast This is a nice story I ve been a fan of Mickie B Ashling since I read Chyna Doll last year She never disappoints While I enjoyed the story as a whole I did have a few issues with it Parts were unrealistic and I m not a fan of specific things that happened in the epilogue.

PDF Reluctant royal blue Read Veronica s review in its entirety here Reluctant Royal A sweet touching story set in a time of great upheaval and uncertainty I cannot recall reading another story based around the overthrow of the Shah of Iran and the rise to power of the Islamic fundamentalists. Book recommendations royalty Grady and Kamran were great characters each plausible in their roles I kept forgetting that Grady was so young and several times his handling of situations demonstrated that he really was just 18 years old What was vividly painfully clear for me was how trapped His Highness Price Kamran Izadi was in his golden cage Most of his twenty three years had been preparation for something over which he had no control no voice no input And then in the span of a few months it utterly evaporated and he went from a man of great privilege to one trapped in a situation that was crashing around him. PDF Reluctant royale high I found the ending to be a bit difficult to swallow but I suppose that with the intel Kamran possessed I can make it work Overall a good solid story and an enjoyable read Reluctant Royal I was very nervous to read this story based on the blurb Though it takes place in 1978 so much of what I read in Yesterday still rings true now in 2016. Reluctant royal car Grady who s the son of Diplomat Peter Ormond finds himself accompanying his dad to Pakistan for the summer His plans are to leave for NY come August Grady who s gay is given ALL the warnings about keeping his homosexuality a secret while in Pakistan Those warnings are still to be hushed even to this day As we know from the news and 18 year old Grady Ormond accompanies his father the new US ambassador to Pakistan to Karachi for the summer before moving to New York to take up his cinematography studies Before his arrival Grady is warned to keep his sexuality tightly under wraps in the predominantly Islamic region the last thing he needs therefore is to fall for a new friend he makes on his first evening in his temporary new home especially since Kamran is not only attractive smart and intensely fascinating but also happens to be the nephew of the shah of neighbouring Iran a country in turmoil and on the verge of revolution The first time I read this book I knew barely anything about the historical political background the story is set against but it was in fact one of the reasons I endeavoured to find out about it and alleviate this appalling lack in my general knowledge The settings are described so vividly and evocatively you can feel the heat and sunshine on your skin and taste the meals and beverages the characters partake of The romance itself was beautiful despite being a little unrealistic and despite the fact that I m not usually a fan of instalove but here the author actually managed to make me believe it A bit too much infodumping on occasion but otherwise I enjoyed this very much Reluctant Royal I was nervous about this book because the blurb was very interesting but the setting was the 1970s This book started a little slow but I was pulled in I loved it and it was a great experience with differing religions and cultures I thought it was well written and paced Really really enjoyed it Reluctant Royal.
