The Hajj, which is the pilgrimage to Mecca that most Muslims must make in fulfillment of one of the five pillars of Islam, or the five basic rules of the religion. The most recent Hajj ended last month.

The next Hajj is from November 25-28, 2009.

Hajj literally means “to have intention.” Muslim people go to the house of Allah (Kaaba) in the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia in order to perform their worship. Hajj begins on the eight day of the lunar month on Dhu al Hijjah in the Islamic calendar.

“Gracie knew she would rather be staked out naked on a fire ant hill than ever have anything to do with Riley Whitefield again. She didn’t need any more humiliation where he was concerned. And who knew what tortures he would be willing to endure to avoid the likes of her?”

Unfortunately for Gracie and Riley, fate has other plans in store for them. I really enjoyed reading this romance. The plot was interesting and there was a lot of depth to all of the characters, even the shallow ones. They all seem like people you can actually meet one day, if you haven’t already.. I found myself laughing out loud a few times, and I felt the same pain and sorrow the characters had to suffer.
