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

I would like to thank Netgalley and Leslie North for the final installment of the Yared Sheikh series.

Sondra Wilson-Woods was hired as the Royal Event Planner at the Kingdom of Maatkare. Robel Yared is the Crown Prince who will one day inherit the Kingdom from his father Sheikh Yared has broken his ankle and is in a cast, so can't do anything much around the palace except for one thing. He thinks Sondra needs his help as he wants to keep things traditional BUT Sondra has other plans. Can they work together or will things blow up in either of their faces? What was Sheikh Yared's REAL reason for bringing Ana, Maia and Sondra to the palace in the 1st place? Why is the Yared twin girls trying to cause havoc with the Nativity play?

All will be revealed when you read the final installment to Christmas with the Yared Sheikhs.

Sondra is always able to anticipate when something will fall through at an event. This does not always work for her in her day to day life. Taking care of her niece and meeting Robel meant life was finally working out. But how can a one night stand turn into something more? Will she be able to break through his last defense? Great ending to the series.

Sondra and Robel, the eldest Yared, must bring order out a chaotic holiday celebration while finding a common path. Excellent series to the end for this family's tales. Settle in for another Christmas tale.

Ebook from Netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

This is book three in the three part novella of the Sheikh Yared stories. The three brothers of Maatkare are young, attractive and a bit complicated. This novella focuses on Robel, the eldest of the brothers and the heir to the kingdom. Here, he meets Sondra, the American event planner and newly adoptive mother. Their story is steamy and sweet, and has a wonderful HEA. I liked this one and the entire series a lot.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

This is the second book that I have read in this series and I liked it the most. I also liked that some things were kind of tied up at the end - the mother getting better and back home from Switzerland, and what happened to the three couples.

Robel really fought against his feelings for Sondra, while she embraced them and was even willing to have a brief fling if that was all he wanted.

He kind of got annoying as he was so into following the rules and I loved that his brothers finally called him out at their family Christmas party that they were not allowed to invite their girlfriends!!

Great HEA and glad Robel finally came to his senses and gave the family what they really needed for Christmas - all their loved ones together!!

A big thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is book 3 in the series, and the last. I have to say I really really didn't like this entire series. The connections just weren't there for me. This reads fine as a stand alone. It's Robel and Sondra's story. I couldn't relate or find it anyway believable. 3 stars.

Robel is the most anal of the brothers. He is strict and has a thing for tradition and lack of change. I didn't like the way he was treating Sondra and her ideas and I would have kicked him in the curb if I were her. I found myself liking less and less the books in the series, which is the opposite of what happened with the Beaumont Brothers series. In that series, every book was getting better and better and in this one is getting worse. When I think of this book two things pop in my mind. 1) The scene where Robel says that Sondra's show was a complete disaster and 2) when he forbids his brothers to spend the holiday's with their girlfriends and wants it to be family only. He also has a thing because they are Americans and not from his country. I am sorry, but I cannot like a book where I hate the hero. Sondra and Nessa saved the day and the book from being a 1 star read for me.

The Sheikh’s Christmas Lover is the final story in Leslie North’s festive series, Christmas with the Yared Sheikhs, and brings together the royal heir Robel and the event planner Sondra. As with the previous books, Sondra is an American hired to organise the annual festivities in the absence of the Queen.

Two very different people from extremely different backgrounds, always makes for an interesting and angst filled scenario, and this one is no exception. Robel is confrontational, obnoxious, and inherently traditional, while Sondra is a modern day woman, with strong professional nature and equally strong values.

I thoroughly enjoyed the personal growth of Robel and the coming together of two vastly different cultures. For a short story, The Sheikh’s Christmas Lover was fun, romantic and occasionally a little sad. Thank you once again Ms North for an extremely entertaining series. I can’t wait for what you produce next!

A cute romantic Christmas story with lots of witty banter and undeniable passion. I enjoyed this story and the characters and now want to read the other 2 books in the series.

The Stickler and the Monkeywrench

Robel is the definition of "cross." At everyone. At his birth position. At the holidays...like, everything. The event planner from overseas was not on his agenda. He's one-note, and didn't learn much, but he wasn't a complete butt either, just a bit addled by some changes in his routine. His counterpart has one job...and she does it. Low stakes, HEAs...it's fine.

Great end to a great series! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to those who have read the previous books. It was nice to have all of the couples together at the end!

For Sondra Wilson-Woods, who craves order but has a knack for handling disorder, pulling off a traditional Maatkare Christmas is the ultimate accomplishment. Hired to make the kingdom’s Advent season a success, despite the absence of their beloved matriarch, Sondra may have taken on more than she can handle.When I started reading I couldn't put it down. Leslie North is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

very little character development.
Too much was tried to make happen in a short amount of time. What ended up happening is characters falling flat and a lack of romance between the characters being shown.

We went from not talking to oh yeah were getting married after a make a bunch of promises that I haven't shown if I'll keep or not.

No thank you. Next.

I love the growth Robel experienced in this book. He's the eldest and the one who always has a lot of expectations on his shoulder so when Sondra challenges every thought he's had about himself, the Christmas holidays, family and love.
He likes being in control but Sondra likes being prepared-having options to any challenge she meets. The two clash, but the attraction between them is strong just as it is unexpected.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

We are given more information about what happened to the Sheikh's mom. Every book references that she is ill and unable to be at home for the holidays. But that is all.
Robel being the oldest, has pretty high standards to reach. I think that Sondra is perfect, she'll help him exceed in all that he does.
