Christina, Cathleen and Mel have been good friends for years, so when Cathleen came up with the idea of us writing a box set together both authors jumped at the chance to create an exciting, interweaving story about three sheikhs finding love.
Cathleen’s Bio: Cathleen loves writing for Harlequin and Escape publishing. Her latest release: Secret Housewives of Sydney: Nella has been described as the most shocking of the housewives. Of that she is very proud and glad she writes under an assumed name. When she's not writing for her publisher she's self publishing. Her latest self-published project is Highlander Romance. For a free Highlander story click here.
Mel’s Bio: Mel Teshco's gypsy-like upbringing saw her living in many places along Australia's east coast. Each new home stimulated an already over-active imagination, where she spent as much time dreaming about fantasy worlds as the real world - the fantasy sometimes being much better.
She is a multi-published author with a love for the written word along with a short attention span that sees her juggling a variety of genres and heat levels in her stories. From contemporary to paranormal, inspirational to erotic, she hopes there's a little of something for every reader out there to enjoy.
Christina’s Bio: Christina Phillips is an ex-pat Brit who now lives in sunny Western Australia with her high school sweetheart and their family. She enjoys writing paranormal, historical and contemporary romance where the stories sizzle and the heroine brings her hero to his knees.
Christina is addicted to good coffee, expensive chocolate and bad boy heroes. She is also owned by three gorgeous cats who are convinced the universe revolves around their needs. They are not wrong.

My Review:
I fell in love with this anthology on the first page, and didn`t put it down until I finished all three stories. Teshco had me completely hooked. I was on the edge of my seat through her entire, well written, captivating tale. Phillips` story was comically priceless and romantically satisfying. She also broke my heart and then mended it with an emotional rollercoaster. Ross wraps up this triad with the perfect ending. She wraps up the loose ends in a romantic, yet exasperating, tale. The stories, written by these three separate authors, mesh together fantastically into an unforgettable whole.
The separate stories in this novel being about three brothers makes them that much better. Readers really get a sense of who the characters are and where they come from. Also, the three different writing styles suit their respective stories perfectly, highlighting the couples within.
This is definitely a must read for all lovers of romance. It can easily be read as three fantastic novellas, or together as an absolutely unforgettable novel.
