Indiscreet Berkley Sensation Carolyn Jewel 9780425230992 Books

I really, really loved this story. The setting, mainly in Turkey(or, as it was known then, the Ottoman Empire), was extremely original, and the author did a great job with the atmosphere and period details. The food, the clothes, the local politics, everything was well done and realistic. The hero and heroine were wonderful characters. Both have been burned once, twice shy, but feel an immediate interest and attraction to each other, although they don't act on it right away. Both are extremely intelligent, and they don't hide it. It's fun to see them dance around each other for a while. The age difference didn't bother me a bit, because this couple was so obviously meant for each other.
Once they get out of the city and into the desert, the pace really picks up, with the heroine getting kidnapped and the hero rescuing her. Even though I was expecting an HEA, I was on the edge of my seat, worried about how they would get away. It was exciting, there was lots of local color, and I couldn't stop reading. Towards the end there is another bit of heartbreak, but luckily it gets resolved quickly.
If you enjoy a historical Middle Eastern setting and a story with a lot of adventure, I can also recommend "A Secret in Her Kiss" by Anna Randol, "The Other Guy's Bride" by Connie Brockway or "Mr. Impossible" by Loretta Chase. The last two are much lighter and funnier books. But Jewel did an amazing job with "Indiscreet" and deserves to be in company with those great authors. I consider it to be one of the best discoveries I've found on Kindle.

Good read.
Love the novel. Not the typical silly nonsense of historical romance.
Too many pages devoted to protestations of love. Too much detail slowed the action. And way too many typos -- as if the "h" was missing from the keyboard. Very slow, improbable story.
A very interesting book, highlighting the differences in the cultures of the Arab world and England. However, this version needs a lot of proof reading as there are words used in the wrong context - i.e. Bad where it should have read 'had' and in other places.
I was eagerly awaiting Indiscreet (Berkley Sensation) because every historical that Carolyn Jewel has written is a must-read. This is no exception. Jewel writes smart, well-researched, fascinating stories. Her dialogue is always spot-on and remains steeped in the historical time frame, unlike so many other historical romance writers today. Her characterization is always well-done, as is the case with Indiscreet (Berkley Sensation). Sabine and Foye are interesting, well-fleshed out characters who are wholly unique. I can't think of any other romances I've read in which the hero is 6'6" with such an "unattractive, beastly" face (Jewel's words, not mine). I loved that. She made Foye thoroughly attractive even though he wasn't a run-of-the-mill handsome hero. Sabine, while attractive, is not flirtatious, or really even aware of her attractions. Because of her upbringing, she is "different" and slightly strange. That helped me to appreciate her as a heroine. I'm finding it harder and harder to enjoy reading about the perfectly formed, beautiful heroines these days. Yawn. Sabine is short, curvy, and spends half the novel looking like an unattractive boy even though Foye still finds her sexually appealing. Jewel's grasp of early 19th century Middle Eastern history, cultures, and customs is remarkable. This story is not to be missed. Carolyn Jewel is just getting better and better as a writer.
This was a decent story with an interesting plot. The characters were likable but felt flat to me. The book was littered with grammatical and spelling mistakes which made me wonder if this author has an editor. In addition to the errors I found character errors as well. Both the hero and heroine said and did things that went against who they were originally established to be. I was disappointed. Overall the book was only so so.
I thought this book started out really well. Sabine and Edward were interesting characters and I sort of have a soft spot for an H that isn't the best looking guy in the room. I didn't even have a problem with the fact that the couple fell in love almost instantly, I actually thought it was kind of sweet. And then the story changed. Sabine is basically being kidnapped and is in danger of being sold, Edward comes to the rescue and in order to get Sabine out of this horrible situation she must dress and act like a boy. Ok, I can go along with that, I've seen it before and it's usually fun to read. But this...oh there just aren't words. There was page, after page, after page of Sabine getting herself into character to act like this boy. It was so over the top and so annoying! Seriously, she has a continuous dialogue with herself about how she needs to behave like a boy, and how would a boy act in this situation?, and she must be called by this name at all times. I completely lost track of the romance and by the time things were happening between the two of them it just ended up being weird.

I was so disappointed by this book especially because I really like the author's Reforming the Scoundrels series. I know this book is a reprint and that the author wrote it quite a while ago so I won't hold it against her and will continue to buy her books if they sound interesting to me.
