Escape From The Harem Harlequin comics eBook Mary Lyons Harumo Sanazaki
I read this book years ago but lost my copy. This is not the usual Sheik/ Western marriage story. The heroine is NOT subservient and is brought into an Arab country that is still operating in the Middle Ages. To save his wife from being imprisoned or killed by his loony father, the hero agrees to remain as a hostage to get his wife safely out of the country. Unknown to him she is pregnant. Five years later, after a coup that makes the hero ruler, the hero decides it time his wife & daughter return to him. After 5 years, the heroine is not real thrilled to be going back to a backward country like that. Eventually, the hero persuades her by telling her that things have drastically changed for the better since he's been ruler. He forgets to tell her the price he had to really pay for his wife & child's freedom all those years ago. You really feel sorry for the hero for having to keep the secret from his wife. Let's just say stuff hits the fan because of a silly jealous woman. I highly recommend this book for the great character development of the main characters AND the other characters around them. This will make you want to read MORE Mary Lyons books!Product details

Escape From The Harem Harlequin comics eBook Mary Lyons Harumo Sanazaki Reviews
Although the hero and heroine loved each other, civil war in his country pushed her away from him as she had to escape for her life ( pregnant ). Now his middle eastern country is at rest, the hero returns for his bride and daughter and sweeps them away to his palace.
The heroine is devastated when she learns her husband took a second wife, but it ends well ( not for the second wife ) and love triumphs after all.
*SPOILERS*
This is one of the best Arab hero-Western heroine romances I have ever read.
The H/h had a whirlwind romance and soon after marriage, the new couple returned to hero's country where they are caught up in the beginnings of political upheaval. The heroine has a culture shock but before she could process this, the hero is under political arrest but not before he could tell her how he loves her, always will and promises they'll be together again. She manages to escape back to England where she later gave birth to hero's baby.
Five no-contact years and one successful revolution later, the hero comes after his family to take them home. The heroine agrees under duress. At this point her feelings for the hero have all but died, bar the sexual chemistry. The hero has to start wooing her all over. It's tough going.
Then when she willingly gives her heart to him again, she learns that he had made a second marriage in the years she was away. The heroine is gutted by this one Unforgivable of hero's sins. She demands he divorce the second wife but he refuses. She refuses to live with him again, using her pregnancy as leverage and he has no choice but to yield. How are the h/h ever to resolve this?
Wow! hats off to Mary Lyons.
This is one totally thrilling un-putdown-able story. A gravitas-loaded hero, a beautiful spirited (bitchy at times but not shrill) heroine, a cute little girl who loves big words and a host of distinct secondary character. The pace doesn't let up. The sexual tension is, well, tight. The resolution to the second-wife issue is unique to the story and its characters because as a generic issue, a second/third/fourth Arab marriage is every bit as legal & real as the first. The HEA is happily arrived by both the h/h and the reader because this couple really deserved it.
It's also incredible how many issues were packed within this standard-length romance. Issues which other authors fail to emphasize in other Arab hero books but which Mary Lyons amazingly manage to highlight. In short, words were not wasted in this novel to fill a thin story until the requisite word count is reached. Words were used for events and character's thoughts which contained substance.
The things in this book which made it incredible
First, Ms. Lyons had the heroine openly discussing with her girlfriend how the extreme wealth of sheikhs dazzle the beautiful Western girls they marry, blinding them to the vast cultural differences between East-West and the shock of reality, especially to the seeming loss of freedom. With the heroine this is not a by-the-way but a genuine issue.
Second, this book also brought focus on sex being used as pure stress relief with little tenderness to the act. This was how hero congressed with the heroine-wife following explosive confrontations with his father, and her reaction ranging from ambivalence to unhappiness, though she understood why.
Third, Ms Lyons had the hero openly acknowledge how some royal families in small country-states regard the wealth as personal instead of belonging to the people, which is what really set off the revolution in this books fictitious Arab state.
Fourth, the shrivelling effects of prolonged spousal separation on a marriage. Hero broke his promise though with good reason but it destroyed heroine's trust.
Fifth, the no!no!no! of another marriage, another spouse and sharing of the man you love. (Actually he made a political 2nd marriage. Was it consummated? Let's just say the realists would be rolling eyes.) The main POV was the heroine's and that's what the reader is concerned with but there was enough space given to the viewpoint of the Arab characters.
Last but not least, Mary Lyons gave me a solid world in this book. I mean- Amouage? Who even knew? But this is an Arab scent maker in Oman with products priced by the hundreds of British pounds. Our hero's scent. And the heroine making a distinction between Isfahan and Qum rugs? Any other author would just have lumped them as Oriental rugs. Then there's the different climates and architecture of our fictitious Arab state Dhoman. It's the small yet rich details which help breathe life to this story with the h/h's tale at its heart.
Not too long ago, I read and reviewed a more recent Harlequin with an Arab hero and everything about that book was anaemic lazy writing. I was being told the hero & his country were Arabian but it never came off the page. I might as well have been told the guy & setting was East Moriches, Long Island, I'd never have known the difference. Not so this book. I know Badyr is an Arab, a Sultan and that he rules over exotic Dhoman. I don't ask for travelogues but I greatly appreciate a non-generic un-dumbed-down setting. It enhances the escapism which is the reason why I pick up a rom nov in the first place.
This is a keeper. I'd give it a 5+ rating.
I like the book, but this story background is not my favorite. With that said, the chemistry between the main characters and their "story" is plausible. I would recommend it
This book did a very good job of showing the difficulties of marrrying into cultures so different from each other. But it was written in 1986, and had a very dated feel to it. If you're in the mood for an old-fashioned romance with more content than most, you'll probably enjoy this. I did a lot of skimming, but did read to the end.
I must say that this would be a great modern day story if rewritten. But since this was written in the 1980's is it ok. This is about a woman who marries into an Arabian family who happen to be leaders of the nation. The father is insane and the son must safeguard his western wife. She 'escapes' back to the west where she is safe from harm. After the fathers demise he has to rebuild his nation. Here is where the story starts. It's about being reunited and the angst of finding out your not the only wife that your husband has. It's about learning to look beyond what you see to the whole story. This is a good read. And I will be keeping this book to re-read it again.
Wish more stories that were written back then to be placed in ebook form.
