Inshallah

Inshallah is an astonishing love story about an Englishman and a Saudi. Mark owned a company in Saudi Arabia and occasionally worked with a Saudi named Ali, and one day Ali’s sister Jinniya came to Ali’s small country Khamis Mushayt by plane from Jidda and Mark noticed her right off but didn’t know Ali and Jinniya were related. Jinniya noticed Mark also for his light hair but the Englishman had a woman hanging all over him at the airport which was unheard of for the Saudi woman so Jinniya decided they must be a couple, but that wasn’t the end of her thinking of him.

One fateful day Jinniya came into the office with Ali and Mark was there so Jinniya acted like she wanted to know him and Mark did the same. Jinniya actually sprained her ankle in the parking lot and Mark had to help her to the car and they made plans to meet.   

They met in a timeworn, empty village near where Jinniya lived which was very dangerous for them but they needed to see each other, it was love at first sight. When everything went well for them they decided to meet again at the same place, Ali had no clue what was going on behind his back Mark and Jinniya could be stoned or worse for seeing each other, they must have loved each so much to risk certain death. While things heated up with Mark and Jinniya the woman who is known as Carol the one at the airport was sent packing after the first couple of nights Mark and Jinniya met up.

They met each other quite a few times Then one night Ali came home early and his aunt said he had a problem up on the roof and as Ali observed across the way he someone sneaking into his house and he rushes to find who it is and under a black covering he found Jinniya and under her Saudi clothes were westerner clothes, she tried to lie but he found the truth who she was seeing. He was so irate. And in this time she found she was going to have to get married to another man her father picked for her, so she and Mark decided to escape her family and go to England. Ali promised he wouldn’t tell a soul about them but told Mark if he told a soul about them Ali would kill Jinniya himself and ordered Mark out of the country.

Life went on for the 2 of them but they were miserable Mark was planning his trip home and Janniya planning her marriage. To find out what happened to the two lovers you’ve got to read it to believe it.

This story is enchanting the author Sybil Powell goes deep into a love that should never be she explores the love, happiness, and pain they feel. The book explores a different life as a Saudi woman with her cultures and religion. She doesn’t just write this stuff she knows it. I loved this book I didn’t want it to end I quite frankly couldn’t put it down. I don’t remember when I have read such an awesome love story.

When dreams haunt you in the most delicious ways and fate pulls you into destiny’s path, what can be done other than to accept and submit to it.

Can Iria truly get what she’s always dreamed of or will it always just remain a memory? Being a rare creature such as her with exceptional beauty and rarity of existence should be enough.  Though, all she wants is her desire, her destiny… To be with a man—one man.

Are these dreams she’s having real? Could she really take on human form and become a Lady to be with the man she craves?

Dezso discovers a magical creature—a being of incredible light and peace. He is drawn to it again and again, and his feelings grow with every encounter. He carries a dark secret that he wishes never existed. The only thing that truly brings light upon his existence is the beauty that warms his heart but seems to only exist in his head—with dreams and visions of a magical woman, full of heartwarming light.

Will he ever know true love and happiness? Will he ever be able to lighten the weight and share his dark secret with another...?

Darkness is growing stronger, weakening the light and killing off what makes the world a beautiful place to live in. Enter a world of fantasy and dreams, passions and temptations. A world where dragons, unicorns, magic and mermaids really do exist. A world where love WILL conquer all!

Seasons of Darkness By Belinda Buchanan

5 of 5 stars

Season of Darkness is the prequel to After All Is said and done. Everett Harrington has 2 children Renee and Ethan. He is a widower who is trying to raise his children right. He has gone through multiple Nannies due to his drinking. Renee was a very social child who was well beyond her years, and Ethan was more withdrawn especially from his father. Everett’s latest nanny Greta gets along with the children fine and doesn’t say much about the drinking.
Through the story there are flashbacks that Everett and Ethan have about the absent mother/wife the real reason she’s not in the picture. Ethan starts to wonder about things and starts breaking out of his shell. Ethan moves further away from Everett because he is controlling and he beats Ethan when the boy does wrong.
Greta and Everett start to fall in love with each other even though he has a drinking problem and he can’t keep his hands off Ethan, Greta says a lot but doesn’t do a lot about it. The last straw for Ethan was when he wanted to start medical school but his dad wouldn’t let him because he wanted Ethan to run his company. I thought this book was remarkable the way it dug into Ethan’s existence. Read this book to find the mystery of Ethan’s mom. Belinda is such a great author who I’d love to see more from.
