Gorgeous M&B cover from Bill Whittingham鈥攐f the approximately 70 his work is featured on this is my absolute favorite and the best thing about the book.
An American zero with an interesting job鈥攈e's a lecturer in art and architecture at a university in Istanbul. Unfortunately he's mainly defined by his insecurities; he hates ambitious women and he won't shut up about it. But it's kismet. He came to Turkey to get away from unnatural career women and engage in a little light sexual tourism with belly dancers and ends up finding a temporarily stranded English rose asleep in his bed. One who's strangely exited when he's all about getting her to agree that he's the boss. The dialogue isn't bad, neither is the heroine really, she stands up for herself well against the caricature of a bitchy careerist OW and pushes back against his more asinine assertions at least. Still this plot bores me鈥攁nd it's a lackluster example of the type with a sleazy hero to boot. Barely one star with an extra for the cover.

The Crescent Moon.
This is a book I would have read back in the 70's when it was first published. Elizabeth Hunter was one of my favourite authors at the time.
This story is set in Istanbul, Turkey and we get to tour the city with Maruk Bey, who is dark and handsome and not what he appears. He rescues Madeleine when her employer, Ursula, strands her without money in the strange city.
This is a very typical romance of the time with a lot of information about the exotic country being visited. It's an enjoyable read with a satisfying romance.

May 12, 2022Madeleine went to Turkey as companion to Ursula Adeney who was searching for her brother-in-law.
But Ursula was a creature of impluse and disappeared to visit friends, leaving Madeleine stranded in Istanbul. There was no one to whom she could turn for help except the lordly Maruk Bey, who had told her that he found her "dark, mysterious, and very, very beautiful."
Could Madeleine trust such a man to aid her?

A vintage tale set in Istanbul. Quite a travelogue. It has it鈥檚 moments but when explanations are inevitably given, the hero said he was going to wait a couple of days and then contact her. However, in the meantime he had another woman in his house. This was never explained. True love?

This book has a plus apart from a nice love story and that is the fantastic travel to Istanbul. We learnt many interesting things about the Turkish culture and the city of Istanbul. Totally recommendable!!!
