Fate keeps throwing Allegra and Shaheen together though and before long they are in too deep. Shaheen must keep Allegra safe from his enemies and to do it, he is willing to let her think she means nothing to him. Trouble finds Allegra anyway, and now it is up to Shaheen to save the woman he loves.
 
If you love historical romances, then you will not want to miss KISMET by Monica Burns. I have never read anything by Ms. Burns before and so I decided to start with KISMET and it did not disappoint. In my opinion, it is the top historical romance novel of 2010. KISMET has everything a good novel should, romance, passion, action, adventure, and intrigue. The characters are fascinating, yet relatable. Allegra and Shaheen have both led troubled lives and had bad experiences, but they both just keep on living. I would love to read more about some of the secondary characters. I cannot wait to pick up another novel by Ms. Burns. KISMET is definitely a book I would recommend to anyone.
