A really well written romance. I enjoyed every page, no skim reading was done on this book.
The hero and heroine are well suited, and I fell in love with both characters. The plot was quite unique - falling in love AFTER an arranged marriage. I loved the heroine's backbone and her fighting spirit, I loved the softening of the hero throughout his marriage. It is definitely one of the best M & B romances I have read! The ending was just perfect, but left me wanting more, reluctant to leave the book.
Highly recommend and best of all, no spelling or grammatical errors here which are becoming quite common in Mills & Boon. Read this, you will not be disappointed.

Don't let the cover and the typical title scare you away from this story, you'd miss out on a heartwarming and lovely romance

As I've already confessed, I've come a long way from my snob bookish upbringing where romance novels weren't permitted reading material, and I'm very glad that I gave The Tarnished Jewel of Jazaar a fair chance despite the typical Harlequin cover and characteristic title, it is a little gem of a well written and captivating story that I enjoyed a lot.
Zoe is a strong and determined heroine who despite pretending to be humble and obedient young woman to fit in with the expectations of the Arabic world still has a strong spine and a streak of willfulness that made her anything but weak or cowering. Despite the harsh and disappointing life she had I found it admirable she still had dreams and plans and wanted to honour her parents' memory by taking care of those in need.
Nadir is a very authentic and credible hero. He oozes sexual charisma and power, but while he can be ruthless when it comes to protecting ideas dear to him he was a fair and kind man. His patience and honour in his dealings with Zoe made him a hero the reader could grow fond of.
I have always been fascinated with the exciting Arabic culture ever since I discovered the tales of One Thousand and One Nights, but the couple exotic category romances I tried in the past years fell flat due to the authors' inability of portraying a foreign world and culture in an authentic and believable way. And although Susanna Carr showed us a modern prince who has progressive ideas, and most of the story took place in the Occident, I think that the hero's character still retained something inherently traditional and in his portrayal Susanna Carr interestingly combined the possessive archaic male and the modernizer....
