I have a new favorite author for historical romances and I am about to continue to devour her work. I picked this up because I want to continue to amplify Palestinian authors and found out that Diana is a Palestinian American author who writes historical romances and some of them have Arab MCs. 

This one in particular has a FMC who is Palestinian and she is strong, beautiful and her tenacity and spirit was so present in the book. She came to London to meet a cousin and found out that she had passed away and she inherited the estate. The only issue is that the Duke of Strickland was not pleased about this and even less so when he realizes he has a very stubborn independent Raya who wants to turn part of the estate into a business enterprise to make her own money. 

watching the Duke fall for her was everything. The audiobook is sooo good! Dual narration and I just really loved both of the audio narrators and how they brought these characters to life. I also really appreciated that I learned some things while reading- I looked into Palestinian embroidery and this amazing dish- Musakhan and now I desperately want to try to find it or make it because it sounds so good!

Now I am excited to continue to read other books by this same author.
