The
Sheikh Surgeon's Proposal
by Olivia Gates
. Powerful,
humorous and poetic: a gem of a romance!
Jay Latimer
volunteers for a medical mission in Damhoor but this
intelligent, professional woman does not like being ordered to the
Ministry of the Interior to have her credentials checked. Her record
should speak for itself. When one of these rich arrogant men and his
entourage runs her taxi off the road, it's just the last straw and no
one is going to push her around --- but first she must take care of the
taxi driver now in critical condition from the car accident. Once she
stabilizes his condition, there is nothing else to do but stop these
arrogant men in their tracks and force them to help her. Does she ever
put them in their place! As one of these men assists her, providing
every possible medical instrument she could need, working with her side
by side, Jay discovers that Malek is not exactly who she thought he
was. When Malek sees her spunkiness, a woman spunky and bold enough to
see him as a man and not his title, he knows there is something special
about this woman. When he sees her proficiency in medicine and her
captivating eyes, he knows that she will be his first and only love.
Devoted to his country and to medicine, what will he do when, suddenly,
he must make a choice? Just as important, what will Jay choose?
THE SHEIKH SURGEON'S PROPOSAL grabs the reader and doesn't let go.
The hero/heroine encounter is one reading thrill after another. Olivia
Gates writes a romance heroine whom readers can admire ---- a
competent, professional woman who also cares compassionately for
others. She sees Malek as a man not a title and does not hold her
tongue or thoughts. Powerful, rich and royal, Malek is the kind of hero
a reader expects in a sheikh romance but he is so much more. Malek
respects women and loves women. He truly loves the heroine, not just
for her body but for all that she is. Strong, poetic, sensual, smart
and innovative, Malek uses his power to do good in the world. He stands
up for all those important things whether it be saving a life or the
sensual pleasures of life, but mostly Malek is a man who loves with
everything he is. When Malek meets Jay, he relishes being seen as a
man, a doctor, a person. For the first time, someone doesn't want a
favor, someone responds to him naturally instead of dissimulating
before his royal position.
Hessuh is Jay's eye into the Damhoor culture. The friendship
between Jay and Hessuh makes this romance an open-eyed delight as she
explains to Jay some of the intricacies of providing medicine to remote
locations and gives both Jay and the reader a framework within which to
see the women she meets. THE SHEIKH SURGEON'S PROPOSAL captures
Damhoor, intriguing the reader not just for the exotic locale but as a
place to be loved. Olivia Gates peers into the culture, breaking
stereotypes. Olivia Gates allows the reader to gain a glimpse into both
the beauty of the culture and some of the tensions in society as
modernity affects residents through her portrayal of the patients
living in remote places who cling to traditional ways. Olivia Gates
includes a wonderful section about women that makes a sheikh romance
accessible to feminists and readers in other cultures and readers who
might never consider reading a sheikh romance. Without being preachy,
Olivia instead draws the reader into the fullness and the beauty of the
location. Reaching beyond the stereotypes of the news and the fantasies
of fairy tales, Olivia Gates portrays a unique different image of a
different culture that makes Damhoor itself as interesting as her
characters.
THE SHEIKH SURGEON'S PROPOSAL is a romance that will appeal to
medical and sheikh romance lovers and neophytes as well. The fast paced
medical emergency situations are well balanced with visions of more
long term care, care that benefit's the public health and society. As a
sheikh romance, Olivia Gates creates not only a powerful and emotional
hero but also a man completely dedicated to his profession and
improving his country. She matches this hero with a heroine any reader
can admire for her intelligence, spunk and her dedication to medicine.
Olivia Gates takes the reader on an emotional thrilling read with a
fast-paced plot, humorous dialogue mixed with a powerful sensuousness
for the smells and tastes of Damhoor, the intense emotions sizzling
between her characters, and perfectly placed heart-stopping moments of
tenderness and beauty. My one word of reading advice is to start this
book early because once a reader enters the world of this romance, it
won't matter what hour the clock says, one won't want to put this book
down! In THE SHEIKH SURGEON'S PROPOSAL, Olivia Gates turns romance into
poetry. THE SHEIKH SURGEON'S PROPOSAL is a gem of a romance!
