Reviews

    Amber and Anwar's story is continued in this sequel to "Kahramaan".

Amber's pregnancy gives Anwar hope that she may finally agree to marry him, but she continues to frustrate him with her insistence at keeping their relationship secret. 

He cannot understand her unwillingness even to tell her family of their relationship and he despairs of ever being able to call her his wife. 

With their thirty-year age difference, Amber fears Anwar dying and leaving her alone in Egypt--at the mercy of their culture and laws, which would label her "property". 

In addition, knowing how much her parents dislike both Arabs in general and Anwar in particular, she knows she would be forced to choose between him--or them--and she can't face that decision. 

She struggles to make Anwar happy, subconsciously knowing that the only way to do that is to marry him.  As a temporary measure, Amber has, however, agreed to move to Egypt with him to await the birth of their child.

The sweeping, exotic background of Egypt, from Moorish castles to the blazing desert gives way to the lush green of England...and back to the desert as these two unlikely and passionate lovers maneuver their way through culture clashes, disasters and triumphs in order to stay together.

The "Castles In The Sand" series is a sensual, evocative romance that will leave people believing in love again.
