My Review
In the second book of the Botros Brothers series, Sheikh Amir Botros finds himself falling for Soraya, his best friend Malik’s sister, whom he’s known his whole life. Despite Amir’s notorious playboy reputation, he’s recently begun seeing Soraya differently, wanting her to reciprocate his feelings. However, Soraya, trying to be independent by working and studying, is wary of his intentions given past childhood pranks. She’s exhausted from her endeavors and, while she once had feelings for Amir during her teens, she’s irritated by his uninvited and frequent appearances. Amir’s attempts to woo her, including surprise outings, further alienate her. Close friends recognize Amir’s sincerity, but unless he truly listens to Soraya’s desires and needs, their relationship is doomed. A significant event at Tariq and Sara’s wedding strains their budding relationship even further. While this story revolves around Amir and Soraya, readers also get glimpses into Tariq and Sara’s continued narrative, adding a familial touch.
