| Publisher Description: This book includes Love's Culture and Love Trumps Culture.Mulicultural Interracial Romantic Fiction. Walking in, Mahad was taken aback by the crowd and many turned to glance at him. He was a tall handsome man with dark Arabic skin, short curly hair and a soft low-cut beard. Dressed in jeans and a white shirt it was also clear he was in great shape. His eyes zoomed in on Sadia who was working with the crowd, getting them in and out of line as smoothly as possible. His eyes roamed over her thinking, "Her photo and video did her no justice. She is stunning." Feeling someone looking at her, she turned to look directly into Mahad's face and felt something jolt through her. Damn, that is one gorgeous man. She thought before turning back to her customers. Mahad walked around, browsing her shelves, filling his arms with books he wanted to read. He loved reading books on architecture; he also loved history and biographies. He became lost in the wonderful collection "Would you like a bag?" A throaty voice asked behind him. Turning, he saw Sadia standing close to him, offering him a huge cloth bag with the store's logo of a huge book and a cup. "I suppose, I need one. Your place is wonderful. Cyrus is my friend." His eyes pierced hers and she was unable to look away. "Great, great. I don't see his book among those." He grinned at her words. His smile and lips made her heart flutter. "Right, I will get that once the line goes down, I am not done shopping." "Then don't let me be a distraction to you..." "It is too late, you have already distracted me. My name is Mahad Basari. I am originally from Saudi Arabia but this is now my home." Taking her hand, he held it and she felt sweat gather at the nape of her neck and trickle down. Slowly removing her hand, she smiled at him. "I am Sadia Lemont." She hurried away feeling his eyes on her. According to USA Today Reviewer Michele Monkou,"Must Read Romance...Love's Culture by Angelia Vernon Menchan is a short love story that not only zooms in on the couple, but also draws in those on the sidelines around these young lives. The attraction is instant, sexually intense and honest between Sadia and Mahad. While family and friends' expectations, betrayal and cultural traditions throw up seemingly insurmountable roadblocks, the difficulties make the romantic journey that much sweeter.Menchan does a fine job with shifting the lens to capture the characters' unique perspective and motivations. She creates a melting pot of diverse goodness to be served up for a fulfilling read. Well done |
