Honeybun novels are a welcoming respite into a world of great stories and gorgeous people and Honeybun Sheik by Sam Cheever is another fun page turner. Callia Honeybun is a one-woman team having served in Iraq and currently running her own security firm. Abdel Ezzat is a Saudi Arabian prince on the run from his uncle who wishes him dead. They team up for an adventure that is worth reading. Abdel is from a country known for its strict traditions. He is advocating for the lessening of some of the restrictions levied mainly on woman. Ironically, Abdel’s initial interactions with Callia reveal he is guilty of some of the very stigmatism he wants to eradicate. Callia is very American and modern, and unapologetic for whom she is. Together they take on his uncle and the team of men trying to kill him. There is action, adventure, steamy romance and tender moments as Callia and Abdel grow closer.
