Title: Full of jealousy and a good catfight
Review: This book is one of my all-time favorite historical romances. The cover art showing the blond heroine, Arabella, is spectacular. I just love the storyline which is full of jealousy. Arabella's rival, Elena, is a wicked delight. After an exciting catfight between the two of them, an angry Arabella attacks Kamal, the book's hero. The required punishment for this act is for Arabella to be tied up and whipped! Elena urges "kill her, kill the bitch". Knowing that he can not break the code of his people, Kamal commands "The English girl will suffer ten lashes. Tie her to the column". Her bitter rival is ecstatic and cries out "Eiee, the whip! Flay the flesh from the bitch's back!" Elena's punishment is heart-rending, but Kamal stops after the 8th lash, refusing to complete the prescribed 10 lashes...... This is an exciting historical romance.
