Outstanding!!!
I am so captivated by this Trilogy. Rose has done an amazing job of informing myself of knowledge about a specific religion and culture that I had not much knowledge of. In the first book I was so angry with Marie at the beginning for her hatred and prejudice(even though she had been thru a terrible tragedy) of a people that she really knew nothing about. There are bad and good in all races, cultures and religions. That being said, it doesn't mean that every person in a race, culture or religion are bad because of a few that are. I was so happy when she finally realized where she needed to be. The compassion, patience and love that Mazen has shown Marie just makes you love him more. I hope that everyone who reads this book realizes that no matter where we come from, we are all brother's and sister's and we should have open hearts and just love. I am sure the third book is going to be just as good if not better than the first two. Thank you Rose B. Mashal for giving us a beautiful love story that crosses boundaries an joins religions and cultures to show that with love all things are possible. You are amazing!!!!!

Love conquers all indeed!
Amazing story! Rose B. Mashal delivers a beautiful story of love, of compassion and tolerance. A sequel to Black Keys, it tells of the life of an American executive who found herself in an arranged marriage in a foreign land, a kingdom full of tradition so different from hers. She had to leave her husband to discover herself, but only for a short time. She realizes how much she misses Mazen and returns to be with her love. Unsure of Mazen's feelings, she is determined to conquer cultural barriers and explore their need for each other. Their love is pure, kind and compassionate which make them strong for each other. They are one in spirit yet they are two different people. I like that Marie as a strong, intelligent and influential woman (although sometimes vulnerable when it comes to longing). Mazen proves to be very devoted to Marie; and no amount of pressure, cultural differences would diminish his love for Marie. A demonstration of how love is blind to obstacles. For Mazen, Marie is everything that he wants in a partner, lover and queen. I can't wait for the third book and hope that Mazen and Marie's love for each other will grow each day and remain faithful and strong for each other. More power and love to Rose!

A much-anticipated sequel that delivers
I can't remember anticipating any sequel as much as I anticipated this one, and it absolutely delivered. Book 1 (The Black Keys) left us with a bittersweet ending and some real challenges for the characters to overcome. White Locks resolves these challenges, but in unexpected ways that bring additional dimension to the story and introduce new complexities for Mazen and Marie.In The Black Keys, Marie was the protagonist, but Mazen was the hero, whose strong moral compass and sense of duty saw him unflinchingly serve justice to his sister, his kingdom, and Marie. In White Locks, Mazen's character opens up beautifully, as Mazen's own hopes and dreams juxtaposed with Mazen the king's obligation to serve the people of his kingdom adds convincing richness to the story.Yet, this is far more than a romance novel or the profile of an admirable king. A supporting cast of characters and their cutthroat schemes to gain power and win the ultimate prize--the throne--is the suspenseful backdrop of Mazen and Marie's love story. Once again, Mashal delivers gripping tension and jaw-dropping twists that will leave readers satisfied, and anticipating Book 3.

Fantastic reading!
This is one of the best books I have ever read, believe me, I know books. This book had everything that I loved about a good story.My only problem was that it was a trilogy, I wanted the whole story and not have to wait on anything to come.I was given a card from Amazon to buy this book after I told someone about the first book Black Keys. How can you make someone wait for the end of this story? This is cruel punishment.These were some great characters in these stories and I can't wait for the end product. I need to know if this will be a HEA or another cliffhanger? Anyway, I really loved this story and I can't wait for the last book to come out. Are you for real? Do I have to wait until 2017 to get the end of this story. Can I have just a taste not a teaser?Trust me you want to read this book! Happy reading.

Don't know ending so won't tell!
The 1st book, I was irritated with all her tantrums & 'oh snap' til I figured the idea was to show how young she was. I liked the 2nd book a lot , the special bond and closeness of her & the Prince til it started getting like a typical soap. My star rating is only for the 2nd book. It was secial but starting to turn into a typical trash novel. Thus is why I skipped the third one. Don't know ending so won't tell!

Satisfying for those who loved Black Keys!!
I read Black Keys and completely fell in love with Mazen and Marie. Like everyone else I waited for the sequel so I could finally see this couple reunited. Mashal's writing is so hopeful, and Black Keys opened my eyes to a world where people from different religions can understand each other and find love. The second novel works to show the reader how this couple navigates blending their two worlds together.

A true heart stealer and fantastic read!
White Locks, the second book in a trilogy by Rose B. Mashal, is both touching and romantic, as well as being informative. The main characters are two people of different cultures and religions,thrown together by fate. In White Locks they truly begin to understand one another and their love grows deeper despite all that stands between them. Marie has finally come to the realization that home is not the place she left, but the man she loves! She goes off in search for him in White Locks and their worlds finally begin to come together.White Locks is a beautifully written story of love clashing with. different traditions in the modern world. You feel for the characters and at the end, think of them not as from a novel but real people within the world. They will become a part of your heart in no time! I highly recommend White Locks as well as the first book, Black Keys! Rose B. Mashal will surely steal your heart!

Best story out right now
What can I say. Society frowns on what they don't know and can't handle. This book needs to be picked up and be on the best sellers list. Such a refreshing story on how you can love despite our deferences. I wish I had a big platform to promote this. Awaiting book three.

Amazing book
I thought the 1st book was good but this one is great, I can't wait for the 3rd book, I need it now lol.In this book Marie travels back to the kingdom in the hope that she can tell Mazen that she loves him, she is devastated when she finds out he is there, he is in London. Mazen loves her as much as she loves him. I won't spoil it for those who haven't read the book yet, buy the book, you won't regret it.
