Soap Opera on paper

I'm into sheik romances right now. Have read good ones. Not so good ones. And just plain awful ones. I think this would fall between good and not so good. The story of Sheik Omar and Cara is great. What I didn't expect was the soap opera stories that are inserted with this story. Thankfully, they are at various ends of chapters and can be skipped over without losing the story of Omar and Cara in anyway. But, if you like the soap opera thing, then please read on! I suppose it is the author's way of making sure she had sequels to write.

Promised to a Sheik

Enjoyable reading... and very much linked to the series (Lone Star Country Club).

A very pleasant surprise

First I have to say that this is the second book in the Lone Star Country Club series that I read. Though I think it's the Fifth in the actually series over all. After having read PROMISED TO A SHEIK I am now very anxious to read the rest.The story of the invisible twin taking the place of the more popular and outgoing twin may be one I have seen over and over in Romances but it takes a nice twist in this story as she actually marries the man before telling him who she is. None of this is a surprise if you read the back cover. Two twins with the same first name of Elizabeth have been writing to Sheik Omar. When Fiona gets bored, as she has a tendency to do, Cara, the shy invisible twin, takes over the letter writing. In the process pours her heart and soul out to a man that she is highly infatuate led with and has been since the cotillion several years before. So begins the courtship of Cara and Omar. Only the problem occurs when Omar arrives to propose to Cara.This is a sweet and tender story that I thoroughly enjoyed. Not only will I be reading the rest of the Lone Star series but I hope to grab some of this authors other works.Side note if you intend to read only this book there are several references to characters that flow through out the series. Having read the last book first I knew the characters but I felt those who had not read the series might find it a little jarring in the mist of Cara and Omar's story.
