Call Of The Trumpet

Cecile is the daughter of a Frenchman and Bedouin. Her mix heritage has made her an outcast among the French. After the death of her father, she decides to head back to her mother’s homeland. It is not such a difficult decision to make, as her father’s people have never accepted her. There she will find her destiny and forge a new identity as, Al Dhabi bint Sada. She meets Matthew Blackmoore who will be the cause of pain and pleasure.

Cecile/Dhiba is a strong and proud heroine. She is physically and mentally tough. She meets her match in Matthew who is equally strong and proud. It makes for a volatile relationship. The erotic connection is very strong between them. They are a likable couple when they are not butting heads. At times, this reader wanted to smack them in the head especially with some of the decisions they made. Any book that can arouse that kind of emotion is one that should be read.

For the most part, this reader enjoyed the story. There were parts of it that were annoying especially the communication issues between the lead couple. Of course, if they had communicated then most of the problems would have been solved. Also, be aware that multiple wives are part of the storyline so if you don’t like your hero to have more than one spouse then this is not the book for you. However, the author does resolve the issue very nicely. CALL OF THE TRUMPET is a sweeping historical romance. It takes the reader to an exotic land with different customs. There is plenty of action as it is a fast-paced story that will leave the reader breathless and wanting more!
