While I do like her written I'm just not enjoying it like I use to .With that said I don't think she's the author for me any more, so as as right now I'm sad to say that I'm DNF her books
Isabella and Sheikh Feraz's story was a short romantic read, with a few twists as Isabella plays the role of her dead twin sister. Feraz sees that his wife *Roxanne* is somehow different and falls in love all over again and wants to make it work. Can Isabella walk away from the man she has been in love with, but chose her sister instead? And can she walk away from the baby she is carrying? It was a fun day of reading their story straight through to see the HEA that was awaiting Isabella and Sheikh Feraz. I was gifted a copy of "The Sheikh’s Pregnant Fake Wife" by NetGalley and Relay Pub. My opinion is as always my own and freely given. 4.25 Stars!
I absolutely loved this storyline and the idea of a twin swap. I find this type of story to be addicting and intriguing. When I started this story i could not put the book down because i really wanted to know what was going o happen in the story. This was a really enjoyable story that I could not get enough of reading.
Sheikh Feraz bin Haik al Nazrani and Isabella must find a common fate for their child even with the secret of her sister. Pager turner from the first page.
Ebook from Netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own
An interesting and entertaining story, I really enjoyed this book from the series. I wasn't at all impressed with Roxanne, and I was surprised that Isabella went through with the idea before things went tragically wrong. A good amount of suspense and secrets help the story flow, although there are a couple of plot holes in the story; enough that I rolled my eyes a couple of times, but not enough to deter me from finishing the book.
I love Leslie North books! Witty banter, sexual chemistry, fun dialogue, and endearing characters- “The Sheikhs Pregnant Fake Wife” has it all. Definitely looking for my next book by this author :-) and totally recommend
Isabella Germain gave so much to her family. A devoted sister and daughter she would deceive the one man she wanted more than any other. Will Feraz find out the one secret she is desperate to keep and be a mother to their unborn son? Great continuation of the series!
This is a highly entertaining, emotionally thrilling and sexy sweet romantic journey filled with secrets, drama and smoking hot passion.... enjoyed every heart pounding moment.
Isabella Germain is a sexy, sweet and loyal daughter and sister looking to save her mother and help her sisters marriage, but ends up with so much more than she bargained for. Sheikh Feraz bin Haik al Nazrani is strong, sexy and charming alpha male bewildered by his wife's sudden changes in personality... exciting and engaging romantic adventure I really enjoyed reading.
I really liked this story. i was drawn in to it. It had the chemistry that I want in a book. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
This was an ok read. I enjoyed th twin twist but it isn’t my favourite Leslie North book. I would’ve liked the story to be a little longer and more of a back story for Roxanne but I did enjoy
The Sheikh’s Pregnant Fake Wife (Sheikh’s Meddling Sisters Book 3)
by Leslie North
Wow! This was an extreme difference from my expectation to the actual product. I expected a so so old type book with the same tired story line written in the same way. Instead.................I got a captivating, fresh, witty, enthralling book with a story line that was so different it just kept me turning the pages. The author does a fantastic job in this book of capturing and holding your attention. From page one to the very end you will absolutely fall for the characters and root them on. A superb read that will stay with me. I was given this arc via NetGalley. All opinions expressed here are my own. So buy and enjoy this super read! Regards, Anna
5 Star Read
Received ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Excited to start this 3 book series by Leslie North. The Sheikh’s Pregnant False Wife is Book 3 - loved it !!
Feraz is captivated & married Roxanne only to find out he is being conned ...he actually finds himself more attracted & suited to her twin sister Isabelle. The sisters could not be more different ...
Roxanne is killed in a tragic accident & Isabelle steps in to take her place ... harmless to do so right? However guilt - lies & deception are so not her thing but she decides to go thru with the plan to swap places.
I think this has been one of my most favorite books by this author. Isabelle is vulnerable but has been deeply attracted to & fallen in love with Feraz.
Captivating read with a very Happy HEA !!
After reading the first two books in this series, I was waiting for this one. How was Feraz going to get a HEA when he was estranged from his wife Roxanne. OMG! Loved this book and the twist. I felt so bad for Feraz in his brother's books. This was a great book. Once I started reading, I didn't put it down. It was a great end to the series!
I received a complimentary ARC from NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you!
This was a lovely shorter story about a twin swap that gets our main character into some trouble. Isabella is the daughter of a con-artist that has always been the compliant one. Her twin sister was cut from the same teeth as her mother, so when her sister, Roxanne, proposes a swap that will provide an heir to her estranged husband and let Roxanne have the freedom she wants, Isabella is easily manipulated into saying yes. But when Roxanne is killed while pretending to be her [Isabella], now she is faced with a life of pretending to be someone she's not and her sister's estranged husband is now back demanding they be a family for the sake of the unborn child.
It was really interesting to see the relationship between Isabella and her family and how they manipulated the situation to get Roxanne married to Feraz, even though it is Isabella who's been in love with him from the start. Isabella can now, tell Feraz the truth of her identity or, as her mother wants, finish out this farce to the bitter end.
The final book in the Sheikh's Meddling Sisters trilogy, the Sheikh's Pregnant Fake Wife is written by Leslie Noeth. Sheikh Feraz Nazrani, the leader of Djeva married Roxanne two years ago. She has an identical twin sister called Isabella. Roxanna persuaded Isabella to undergo IVF to carry a baby for her. As Isabella was practically penniless and needed the money to pay both her rent and her mother's hospital bills she agreed. Roxanna was then killed in a car crash with her rich boyfriend. Isabella pretends to be Roxanna so she does not lose the he babies once they are born and goes to Djeva with Feraz. She has always been secretly in love with her sister's husband and as he spends time with his new improved wife ;Roxanna was very hot tempered and colorise, Isabella is not) he falls back in love with her.
The story ends very abruptly - he finds out who she really is and realises he loves her. The story is over in a few pages which is a slight anticlimax. I enjoyed the book up to the last few pages.
Sheikh Feraz Bin Haik Al Naziam is overjoyed that his estranged wife is at last pregnant, they had been trying since the day they got married two years ago. The first time Feraz met his wife Roxanne was on the beach of a luxury resort in his country Djeva. Feraz had become determined to have Roxanne in his bed and Roxanne ahd come willingly. But Feraz had learned after they married what the marriage would cost him nothing but the best for Roxanne from clothes to hospitals to husbands. Roxanne choice to live in the U. S. away from her husband’s native home. At first Feraz had hoped Roxanne would adjust to life in Djeva. But instead Roxanne became more and more withdrawn. They argued so much everyone was miserable including Feraz’s family. So Roxanne and Feraz came up with a compromise she would live alone abroad and return for the occasional state function or other required duties. It had been a long time since Roxanne and Feraz had been intimate , this child was not conceived in the normal way. Roxanne had a twin sister Isabella, who had died recently in France or so everyone thought. Isabella had always been the quieter, shyer one preferring her books to parties. Odd that Isabella had died running around with a married playboy in France. Feraz estimated Roxanne to be about five month pregnant. Roxanne had been the Queen of Fickle. It was not Roxanne at this ultrasound but Isabella. Feraz didn’t know he had married was dead and her twin Isabella carried his child. Isabella had always secretly loved Feraz and had never called to inform him of his wife's death she had wanted to but…. Isabella chose to play the part that she had never wanted as she needed the money for her terminally ill mother. This had been her mother’s idea - changing ID’s with Roxanne before her trip to France to visit her latest boy-toy. Isabella had been heartbroken at the death if her twin even if Isabella had been a total user. Their mother had made her living off of manipulating emotions- her own and everyone else's. SHe had talked Isabella into not calling Feraz with news of Roxanne’s death. After the doctors visit Feraz told Isabella/Roxanne they were going back to Djeva at least until the birth of their child. Then while at her new doctor in Djeva Isabella and Feraz find out they are having twins- a boy and a girl.
I loved this book. Once again Leslie North wrote a great fun easy romance that involves a sheik and I loved Feraz and Isabella and glad he found his soulmate even in such a roundabout way. I love how Feraz interacted with each other and how isabella interacts with his family. I loved the plot and pace and read this in one setting. I could find nothing to criticize in this book happily. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend.
The Sheikh's Pregnant Fake Wife....everything it sounds like, but not a total disaster.
Isabella's twin sister Roxanne is married to handsome, filthy rich Sheikh Feraz. But due to Roxanne's partying and unfaithfulness it's a marriage in name only, providing that Roxanne provides Feraz with an heir. Isabella agrees to impersonate her and undergo IVF, briefly exchanging ID's until Isabella can give birth. Tragically, Roxanne is killed with on vacation while bearing Isabella's identification, and Isabella is forced to continue assuming the role of her sister in order to get the money from Feraz for her mother's cancer treatments. Meanwhile Feraz finds his heart softening towards this kinder, gentler side of his "wife". What will he think when he learns her real identity? (It's pretty easy to guess.)
I found it hard to ascribe a rating to this book. On the one hand, it was a quick romance read that got the job done. You could start it while lying by a pool and finish before the pool boy brings you your third Mai Tai. And it was pretty engaging. So in that capacity it's a 3-4 star.
On the other hand, there were plot holes big enough to drive a car through. Key aspects of the plot were either a) woefully under-researched, or b) researched, but the author decided that facts were inconvenient to the plot twist. So that's a 2.
Despite its flaws and preposterous plot, I enjoyed the story. If I ever need a quick HEA I'd definitely pick up another book in the series. 3 Stars.
A big thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book.
This is the third and final book in the Sheikh's Meddling Sisters series, set in the country of Djeva.
I enjoy reading Leslie North books. They have unique settings, and she usually incorporates cultural things into her stories. The characters are strong but not perfect. The plot has twists, deception, should she tell? When? What about the babies? She cares about the country and Feraz. I found this to be an unusual plot but still interesting. It reads great as a stand alone, so you don't need to have read the others in the series. I think most romance readers will enjoy this especially those who like exo tic settings. I give this book a 3.5.
Loved reading the third book in the series. Isabella poses as her twin, wife to Sheikh Feraz, and a surragate. When Isabella's twin dies, Isabella continues pretending to be her twin, but Fera notices his wife is now a nice and kind woman. Read the highly recommended love story. I reviewed a copy of the story through NetGalley.
Isabella Germain is stuck between a rock and a hard place. She’d agreed to act as her identical twin sister’s surrogate for an IVF procedure because she needed the money to save their sick mother. No one was ever supposed to know, least of all her sister’s husband—Sheikh Feraz bin Haik al Nazrani. But when her twin, Roxanne, is killed in a car accident while jet-setting with some playboy in Europe, Isabella must choose whether to stay silent about her true identity, making her pretend marriage to Feraz real in every sense of the word, or risk losing her baby through a swift rejection and the vicious custody battle that’s sure to follow. When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Leslie North is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book
