Natalie would always remember the plane crash that led to a sultry passionate night that resulted in their daughter. Iman always wondered what happened to the sultry blonde this couldn’t make a decent cup of coffee. Finding out he had a daughter was a surprise that brought him the happiness he always desired. Great start to a new series.

I enjoyed reading this book, it was easy to read as are all Leslie Norths books. It was predictable but the characters were interesting. There was plenty of description to keep me interested . I do recommend that you read this book.

This is the first in Karawi Sheikh series and I loved it. The heroine is so strong and relatable, the Sheikh is a great man and there is a subplot of palace intrigue as well. I love the character of the Sheikhs mother as well, she is so loving and caring of her family.

A one night stand between Prince Iman and Natalie has consequences. Unknown to Iman, Natalie has their beautiful daughter that she must raise by herself, due to the lies that were told by Iman's uncle. As they meet up again 6 years later, they find their attraction is still as strong as ever. Iman's mother realizing who the child is, will be the catalyst that will bring about a HEA for them all. Sweet story to enjoy for that lazy afternoon, **I was gifted a copy of "The Sheikh's Surprise Heir" from Netgalley & Relay Pub. My opinion is freely given.** 4.25 Stars!

Six years ago, Natalie, a flight attendant, was involved in a plane crash with Prince Iman Karawi. Even though she was attracted to him, she found him rude. That is, until he was chivalrous and attentive to her after the accident. Then, Iman’s uncle told her that she was not welcomed and paid for her to disappear from Iman’s life. Now, she has been raising Iman’s baby by herself, and living paycheck to paycheck. But, after a chance meeting with Iman again, can she resist Iman’s romantic overtures, and protect the secret of her daughter’s conception?
I really liked this cute romance. It’s every girl’s dream to meet a handsome prince, and here, Natalie shows him grit and spirit under very stressful circumstances. I loved the romantic interludes between the main characters. It wasn’t overly sexual, but seemed tasteful and loving. And, I love happy endings! I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley and am voluntarily reviewing it.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Cute romance with Crown Prince Iman and Natalie, a flight attendant that meet on a doomed flight that crashes and they share a night together which results in Iris.

Both have the wrong idea when Natalie is forced to leave and Iman is busy taking over the country after his father dies. Fast forward, to present day and they meet again but Iman can't understand why Natalie is so angry with him!

I enjoyed the story except the night that Iman and Natalie spend together before his bride to be, Bari, arrives. I guess I am kind of annoyed with Natalie that she had so little self-respect that she sleeps with Iman when he is going to marry another woman!

I also did not understand why Iman's mother had the guard leave Natalie when she was at Bari's palace. Did she want Natalie to have problems so that Iman had to rescue her? That kind of doesn't make much sense to me!!

Loved the ending and their HEA, and looking forward to the next book in this series!

With hotty Sheikh Hamdan from Dubai now married his millions of female instagram followers have to look elsewhere to dream. And that can be done with the new book by Leslie North. Nothing. I have seen other planecrashes with sheikhs on Amazon but this kind of novellas guarantee a relaxed read on an afternoon waiting for a plane, on the beach or with a cold in bed.
In this story the female heroine is working as a stewardess with a private plane company. One day the client is a Middle Eastern prince who definitely was born with too many silver spoons in his mouth. The guy is annoying in extremis. but is also the only one aboard who bothers saving her after the plane has crash landed. While waiting for his bodyguards to return with help - why do you need them when you can send them all away while you wait with a wounded woman? - she is not that hurt that they cannot play a game of "can we connect on a non-spiritual level by inserting this part of mine into yours?" Their meeting ends very fruitful with a lot of money and a surprise a bit further on the road as hey why would you use a condom as there is no HIV is there in fairyland. Years later he is the king and they meet again.
A well written easy romance story that has no pitfalls.. You do have to like the concept of bed before love though.

Interesting..
A good book about your typical rags to riches couple who meet one night and come together again many years later. This type of story is nice for a relaxing read, it's not something with unexpected twists or cliff hangers. The Sheikh's Surprise Heir was a fun read with nice characters who were fun to get to know. I loved the little girl and her relationship with the people she meets, it was a very sweet.
I give this book 3 stars out of 5 for the fun characters, predictable ending, and relaxing monologue.
I volunteered to read this book from Relay Publishing in exchange for my honest review, the thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

I received an e-arc in exchange for a fair and honest review.
The story of Natalie and Iman seemed slightly rushed and has a storyline that has obviously been used many times before, however, I still enjoyed reading it. My favorite character was little Iris, who definitely stole the show. Overall, I'd recommend this is as a fun, easy read, especially if you're heading to the pool or beach and want a light read while relaxing.

A good start to The Karawi Sheikhs series, I enjoyed the characters and the storyline and will look to read more.

I was really hoping for something better. this author description of the book is just so much better then the actual storyline. Flight attendant catches eye of prince. they have sex and he never sees her again until 6 years later. She has a kid he doesn't recognize as his. he still in love with her even though he only met her and in one day fell in love.. I just can't!! The little girl was cute and I enjoyed her so that's why I'm giving it 2 stars.

This was a complimentary copy from net galley - thank you

Loved this ! Couldn't put down - read this in one sitting

Leslie North is a new author to me but I would happily read more of her work

This is book one in a series and would be more than happy to read the rest

A great holiday read

You can never go wrong reading any book by Leslie North!
I received an arc of this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Opinions are all my own.

The Sheikh's Surprise Heir is an easy light read. Featuring a sassy flight attendant (Natalie), an alpha male (Prince Iman) and an adorable six year old (Iris) you'll be entertained from page one. This is the first Leslie North book I've read and its a definite 3.5 stars.

When I saw this book on the romance page of Netgalley, I was instantly drawn to the cover. These models are gorgeous and look perfect together. I didn't really read the synopsis, the cover and title drew me in. I know a sheikh was essentially a king in Middle Eastern countries and figured the story and customs would be a change of pace from the normal romance I read.

I am so glad I requested this book. It was and easy fun read and the fact that there was a secret "love child" was amazing. The quick wit and tone of the story made me want to keep reading. After finishing this, it made me want to get the others in the series. This was a great read.

I just wish it was longer. I am noticing this is a pattern for me. The stories just don't seem like they are long enough. I wanted more and wish there was more before the event at the end of the book.

The Sheikh's Surprise Heir is the first story in Leslie North’s new series, The Karawi Sheikhs. This one is Iman and Natalie’s story of a ill-fated meeting through a near death experience and the result of their hot and heavy one night stand. So, while I totally get the cultural expectations of Iman’s heritage, I was a little annoyed at his ease of moving on with his marital plans after having made a supposed connection with Natalie and the way she was treated by his uncle. That aside, this was an OK book with and interesting storyline and a decent start to anew series.

A lovely read, right amount of chemistry, emotional will they won’t they, characters you want to see together. Nice writing and good plot. A nice romance with a happy ending.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest review

Six years earlier- Natalie kept chanting in her head- I need the money. Natalie was suppose to have this week off but Erin had begged her to take the unplanned flight so she could go to some unplanned icon’s concert. As much as natalie wanted to spend the week at the hospital with her mother as she fought cancer she needed the money to help cover her mother’s medical bills. But to be honest working prince Iman Karaior’s private flight barely made a dent in the medical bills. The man was also very unpleasant. Natalie had only been working at Kayleina Private Flight for a few months and the money was better but the rich clientele left a lot to be desired. Natalie had been a flight attendant for five years. The prince was hot even if he was a butt and her heart skipped a beat every time he looked at her. The plane had to make an emergency landing and Iman heard the woman scream. Than he saw she was trapped in her part of the plane, he wouldn’t leave her alone. Iman sent his guards to get help and he did get hre out of the plane but noticed a sandstorm would be there very soon. They just shut the door to the hanger and the storm hit. A fire erupted in Natalie when Iman touched hre. Natalie had a bad gash in her arm but Iman fixed her up. Natalie found a string of lights and went exploring. She found an aged light aircraft and sat in that. Iman called until he found her than he brought water and some sandwiches from the plane. They talked about Natalie’s mom being in the hospital for the month than Iman said he knew the pain as his father had cancer and with the best doctors they still couldn’t help him. Iman had been the good son, the responsible son. When his father passed away he would become the Crowned Sheikh and there was certain expectations of him. Natalie and Iman had sex. The next day they were rescued by his uncle Sheikh Salon. Natalie wanted to try to see Iman when she learned his father had died but his uncle Sheikh Salon called her a whore and told her she was to leave immediately that is what Prince Iman wanted. Sheikh Salon had a check for her silence of a hundred thousand dollars natalie refused it but the Sheikh brought up it could be used n her mother's medical bills. Against her conscience natalie took it and left immediately. NOW- georgia wanted Natale to go out with her but Natalie said she couldn’t go. She had been out with georgia two months ago that was the last time she went out. Natalie had got pregnant from the one night with Iman and she now had Iris a very smart little girl. Natalie needed to find a job more grounded but until she paid the last of her mother's medical bills she couldn't. Gordon was natalie’s savior. He and georgia had dated briefly four years ago but they decided they made better friends. He had stepped in one month when Natalie's regular nanny couldn’t watch Iris when she was a trip for work. The cranky chef fell in love with iris and she with him. Than natalie had to fire her nanny and Gordon and Georgia if she was available watched Iris while Natalie worked. Natalie had listed Iman as Iris’s father after Sheikh’s Salon threat. Natalie told Iris her dad was gone when she had asked about him.
I absolutely loved this book. I didn’t want to put it down and didn’t and read it in one setting. I hope to read the next book this author writes. Ms. North you did it yet again -another outstanding book about a sheikh and this one included a flight attendant with this sheikh. I loved Iman and Natalie together and how they interacted. Iris was just too cute and definitely added to this story. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend it.

Natalie's daughter stole my heart. She loves dragons and says that they are not bad, they just need to be tamed. That goes doubly for Iman. Once tamed he is the perfect man.
