A fabulous naughty romp. Loved this book, steamy, stexy and a bit of fun. Really put a smile on my face.

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley to review. Thank you for the opportunity.
A sweet and fluffy romance. There is some good writing and I liked the representation, particularly the use of my name in the story which doesn't happen very often. The characters are quite likable if a little bland and predictable at times. The story 8s tropey and predictable at times.
On the whole, a good read.

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for my review. This is a hard review to write as I'm not sure how many stars to give this book, It held my interest enough to finish reading it, but it was so short that the character never had a chance to develop, which made the plot line a bit ridiculous. I know that there is a part two, but the lack of plot really makes me feel like they should have combined the two stories together and developed the characters better-then it may have made for a much better book.

I received with thanks an ARC copy of The Sheikh's Marriage Bargain (Hasan Sheikh #1) from Relay Publishing and Netgalley.

This is my review of The Sheikh's Marriage Bargain (Hasan Sheikh #1) by Leslie North. This was published on 17th August 2020.

I will start this review by saying I love Leslie North books and have done for years. Like all her other books this eBook was an absolute delight to read. I loved the tale of Laila and Zayid. Laila was such a wonderful character from the start and I enjoyed reading about her journey. Zayid was wonderful prince charming. Will be continuing on with this series.

Would recommend if you love a good romance.

Whenever I see a book by Leslie North, I have to have it!
The books are so easy to read and keep you interested throughout and this book was no different.
The marriage benefitted both sides (who wouldn’t want to be a princess?!) and ended up with the happy ever after everyone wants!
Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.

I confess: I really need my Leslie North fix every now and then. I prefer to read the whole series, so I can indulge in all the hot sheikh's. This series is about the Hasan Sheikh's. Zayid, as the eldest brother must marry as soon as possible to enable his younger brother to marry his pregnant girlfriend.
When Laila accidentally stumbles into a party at his home, Zayid is intrigued by her. Since Laila is on the run from a marriage contract, they both agree to marry for the time being. But of course, Leslie wouldn't be Leslie if there were no complications, intriges and hot attraction.
Four out of five stars and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

The Sheikh's Marriage by Leslie North is the start of a new series. I have become a huge fan of Leslie North as her writings really pull you into the story. She has a way of keeping you interested in every single aspect of the story.

This story is about Zayid and Laila, he is a Crown prince, she is an American pottery artist who is in Raihan enhance her skills and learns more about the tradition. Laila is staying and helping her Grandfather, who suffers from Dementia. She is devasted when she fins out he signed a marriage agreement for her. She knows she has to get away because tradition states she has to marry if her grandfather signed the agreement. While on the run she meets Crown Prince Zayid Hasan of Raihan. Zayid has an idea that would help them both out, but will it work?

Leslie North consistently brings great characters and passionate romance to life. As a big fan of North's, her name provokes an automatic one-click from me. I am always entertained. Highly recommend.

I loved this book, it was very sweet to read.

Laile had been tricked by a man, who made a deal with her granfather who has dementia, he condemned her to marry a guy she hate.
She did the only thing that cross her mind, run !!
She'll find herself a strange situation, and ended up married to the Sheik.

From there, I loved the way their relationship evolved, that was very sweet !!

Really great book.

An easy, light-hearted and enjoyable holiday read. Reminded me of the Mills and Boon books - good to read if you want some light relief

A marriage bargain to escape an agreed marriage by her ailing grandfather.

A marriage agreement that will enable the sheiks younger brother to marry his pregnant girlfriend.

True feelings of love and desire, developing, to make their temporary agreement into a surprisingly permanent one.

With a happy ever after ending in this romantic story of love, happiness and contented commitment.

Oh, those lovely Sheikh’s and another hit from Leslie. I absolutely love her sheikh stories. A marriage of convenience, pottery wheels, and … No giving away secrets. These stories fly by when reading and I bet you cannot put it down either. My only wish, that they were longer.

A DNF

It is a story of a young half American girl and her instant love with a prince.

It was way too annoying for my liking.
I tried to finish it but it makes me angry.
This is just too unprobable. as reader we give the benefit of the doubt but this is preposterous.
It reminds me of the Wattpad stories written by 13 year old girls who do not know much about love, life or reality.

Sheikh's Marriage Bargain by Leslie North

Lailla Tindall is in Raihan to hone her professional pottery skill and visit her grandfather who is suffering from dementia. One of her grandfather's persuades her other grandfather to sign a marriage contract between himself and Lailla. She is horrified! She escapes and whilst escaping her car runs out of fuel so she continues for hours on foot towards the foothills. Exhausted she wanders to gardens where at a party she meets Zayid who Unknown’s to her is the Crown Prince. Who is having the party to find a future bride. Then the fun starts.

This is very good easy read that has personality clashes, sparks flying and a very enjoyable read. Just what you’d expect if you’ve read Leslie North books in the past.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved that the male and female character had a balanced relationship. The artistic theme of the book really enhanced the story line. So far I love this author's work.

First in this newest series. A quick easy read, this one would make a great beach read. A small amount of angst, a little romance and steam. Just right for a weekend read. Add this to your TBR list.

The Sheikh's Marriage Bargain is a most arresting novel. I loved the writing style, the characters, the depth of character of the heroine and the hero. It's a perfect damsel in distress story, with the prince living up to his end.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

This is the first book in the Hasan Sheikh's series and I loved Zayid and Laila's journey into love. What started as Laila seeking refuge from a marriage contract she never signed up for, opens up to respect- to a man who listens to her and puts her needs first, even though when it comes to communication- he kinda sucks, it was such a heart warming read.
Laila knows her art and pottery so it was refreshing reading those lines where she talks about it.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

Wow, this story started right out with me thinking what in the world. It kept me entertained until the end. Laila is my favorite, she is so down to earth. Zayid isn't so bad either once she's able to get him away from his office.
