Nalini Singh is an autobuy author for me....

Hira Dazirah is tired of being just another pretty face. Unfortunately, her new husband, Marc Bordeaux doesn't seem to see beyond the surface appearance. Hira finds herself away from her homeland of Zulheil living in the bayous of Louisiana. Marc is haunted by his own personal tragedies and the physical scars that mar his body and face. Will Claire be able to see the true heart of this Beast? And will Marc be able to see Claire as more than just a Beauty? CRAVING BEAUTY is a modern day Beauty and the Beast tale with an international twist. Marc is surprised by the provincial attitude of Hira's father towards women as the fictional Zulheil is very modern in its approach to women's rights. However, his own high casual handedness provides an interesting and thought provoking contrast. Hira craves respect and intellectual stimulation but Marc struggles with seeing anything other than her stunning physical beauty. Hira's determination to be accepted and respected regardless of her appearance is one that will resonate with women readers. CRAVING BEAUTY is further proof of the sheer talent of Nalini Singh. Regardless of the locale or the type of plot, Nalini Singh writes a fantastic story! Stories of arranged marriages are definitely not a theme that I gravitate towards in my reading, but time after time, Nalini Singh demonstrates that if her name is on the cover of the book, it's an instant buy for me!

Craving beauty and loving the beast

This is the first book written by Nalini Singh that I read. However it won't be the last one. This story was really captivating. I loved the balance between romance and sex during the whole story. I started reading the book at night and it was so hard to give up when I fallen sleep at 2am in the morning. Definitely a page turns over. I would recommend to anyone who loves a strong romance. In this story: Beautiful Hira had many deceptions from the way men desire her. They only wanted her as a trophy to be hold for her beauty. When she was arranged married to an American (Marc) with scars in and outside his body. She promised herself that she will never love him; that she will be a beautiful woman for him and nothing else. Will Marc be able to lose his past and find the true love with Hira? Would she be able to love and forgive him? The story touches many other life issues that make the story outstanding. Definitely a great reading Barbara
