With the Sheikh in His Harem Volume 8 Review
With the Sheikh in His Harem doesn't go for a grand finale, but if this was the given amount to work with, maybe it's better this way.
With the Sheikh in His Harem Volume 1 Review
Beyond the fast marriage, With the Sheikh in His Harem is closer to a standard shoujo school romance than an average women's romance novel.
With the Sheikh in His Harem Volume 2 Review
It's hard to dislike With the Sheikh in His Harem, as it has a heroine doing more than just be the object of the male lead's affections.
With the Sheikh in His Harem Volume 5 Review
With the Sheikh in His Harem continues to handle a sheikh x commoner romance better than a lot of its Harlequin novel cousins do.
