I read this series out of order so I already knew Tatiana and Ilyas from the next book. However, I was amazed at how long it took the two of them to get together.

SHEIKH'S ONE-NIGHT STAND starts with a New Year's night of passion, only to result in a baby surprise. When Tatiana is hired by Ilyas's family to help him find a bride, the two of them have to figure out how they'll navigate being parents together.

As with many of Leslie North's books, this was a quick read. I enjoyed her writing style and the way her characters were crafted. I'm just not sure the playboy prince was my favorite of the three. I think he has some things to learn from his two cousins.

This was fun read. Long lost lovers come together for one night. A little unexpected baby-making and BOOM! They’re thrust together to find him a bride. Only, she’s pregnant. With his baby. Sounds like a good combination for emotional turmoil, right? 4 stars!

When I think of romance, I think of books just like this one, that gives all the feels and satisfies every romance junkies' heart. This is a perfect books to snuggle up with on any day.

4.0

This was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. It really broke my heart reading about how the hero looked at himself and thought he would make the same mistakes as his father. I enjoyed the aspect of the heroine being his dating coach and it was a fun read

This is a good book. The two main characters are Tatiana and Ilyas. Tatrina is a dating coach and Ilyas is shriek. They have known each other since they were in high school together. They meet again on New Year’s Eve and had a one night stand. A couple of months later they meet again when Ilyas’ mother hires Tatiana to help Ilyas dating habits. She tells Ilyas that she is pregnant and he is the father. He is ver excited. They each have past issues that they work out and fall in love.

Sheikh Ilyas Murad loves women, perhaps a little too much. But he’s only truly been in love with one: Tatiana Templeton. So when he bumps into her unexpectedly at a party, the two are swept up in the moment and spend a night of unbridled passion together.



But two months later, Ilyas is shocked when his mother arrives at his door with an American dating coach in tow… Who just happens to be Tatiana! His mother hired her to help him settle down with the right woman. But Ilyas considers himself a dating expert. The last thing he needs is a woman he once loved helping him find a wife.



Tatiana is between a rock and a hard place. Ilyas clearly wants her gone, forcing her to reveal another surprise. Their one-night stand left her pregnant. But she’s determined to do her job. She’ll find Ilyas a wife, and they can deal with all the baby stuff later…



But when the prince suggests Tatiana as his bride, the beautiful American is torn. Is his proposal coming from the heart? Or his sense of royal duty…

This is the second installment of The Sheikh's Wedding Series. This is a second chance romance featuring Ilyas and Tatiana. They were once high school sweethearts but then he left without any warning. They meet again years later and reconnect at a wedding and have a one-night stand, but are then separated again. His family really wants him to settle down and start a family, so a couple months later his mother hires a dating consultant. His dating consultant turns out to be Tatiana. Tatiana's job is to train him on how to date, but their one night stand left her pregnant and she hasn't told Ilyas yet. Ilyas didn't really have good role models in the marriage department, so he really has no desire to marry. When he finds out about the baby, he realizes Tatiana is the one for him, but Tatiana has her own issues she is dealing with. He will really need to work to show her they belong together.
This was another well-written story with great characters that held my interest till the end.
A great addition to the series!

Sheikh Ilyas and Tatiana went to high school together and were a couple but then Ilyas left her without telling her. Fast forward many years and they see each other at a wedding and have a one night stand and go their separate ways again. Tatiana discovers she is pregnant. Ilyas's mom and grandfather decide it is time for 34 year Ilyas to marry and hire a dating coach for him who turns out to be Tatiana. What follows is their journey at finding love with each other. Ilyas struggles with wanting to marry due to how bad his parents marriage is and Tatiana struggles with her own issues. I always enjoy Leslie North's books. They are well written and keep you entertain. I usually finish them in one setting. I loved the book and recommend.

Received this book as ARC from Netgalley for my honest review.

I despise leaving a bad review, but I really did not like this book. It did not flow well for me. I did not care for the characters. The relationship between Ilyas and Tatiana seemed disjointed. I felt like I entered this book while it was in mid thought. I constantly felt the need to reread pages because I felt like I missed something. I was often lost. I gave up after page 94. I just couldn’t put myself through anymore of this book.

This is the second installment of a very well-written series. This is Illyas and Tatiana's story. High school friends who go separate ways in life meet again at a common friend's wedding and sparks fly. That one-night stand leaves Tatiana pregnant with Ilyas' child. The irony is that Tatiana is then hired by Ilyas' mother to find a bride for him. Tatiana being an excellent Dating coach, then works with Ilyas to find him a suitable bride, all the while being in love with him. With time, Ilyas also realizes his feelings, and rest, as they say, is history (with a very dreamy ending).

Excellent characters, wonderful writing, engaging read!

Getting a second chance at that love is not always possible so I can imagine Tatiana's thoughts when her love came back into her life. But of course, it’s never sunshine and roses. Ilyas was hard for me to get to know and when he proposed marriage, I began to open up to him more.
This was a beautiful love story, a modern day fairy tale that tugged my heartstrings.

Sheikh Ilyas Murad loves women, perhaps a little too much. But he’s only truly been in love with one: Tatiana Templeton. So when he bumps into her unexpectedly at a party, the two are swept up in the moment and spend a night of unbridled passion together.
This was a very good read. Great story and characters. 4*.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the 2nd in a series, but they read well as stand alones. The title is a bit misleading, the main characters have known each other for years. Sheikh Ilyas and Tatiana grew up together, which I never really understood, but then they meet again years later and reconnect. Its seems sort of an odd premise but who knows with the wealthy. 3 stars I did really like both Tatiana and Ilyas.

This is Ilyas and Tatiana’s story. They were high school sweethearts. He encounters her at a party. She is a dating coach. They have a one night stand. She gets pregnant. His mother hires her to be Ilyas’s dating coach. He decides he wants her for his wife. His family takes it badly. There are many misunderstandings. He has to find out how he feels. I love this series. It’s well written.

Can you rekindle an old romance and keep it going this time around? That is the premise of this book and it delivers with a lot of love. A great read!!

There were a few points near the beginning of the book that I thought was a little boring. However the rest of the book was fantastic. I'm really glad that I read it and can't wait for the next book in this series.
