Description
Prince Yusef Oman is not happy to marry his bride, sight unseen. But when he finally lays eyes on his new wife, he’s horrified to find himself standing beside his social-climbing ex, Zara Amiri, the woman who broke his heart once he discovered she’d only been dating him for his title. In his tiny kingdom of Al-Fatha, couples cannot divorce until after six months of marriage, so he’s stuck with her until then.
But maybe that’s not all bad. Even though Yusef can’t fully trust her, he likes Zara. Maybe even more than likes and they find themselves slipping back into their easy way with one another. But no matter what, they both agree their marriage is in name only. No romance. No kissing. And definitely no future.
Zara never got over that Yusef thought she only loved him for his wealth and privilege. She fell in love with “Joe” and wasn’t too happy to find out he was royalty. Now they’re married and the love she felt for him is coming back full force. Though Zara initially agrees they’ll ride out this marriage of convenience, she secretly hopes Yusef will come to realize how wrong he was about her.
But having to prove herself to him is maddening. Though Zara loves Yusef with all her heart, she cannot stay married to a man who doesn’t trust her. Her only hope is that Yusef will figure out what he’s throwing away before their six months is up.

Leslie North is the pen name for a critically-acclaimed author of women's contemporary romance and fiction. The anonymity gives her the perfect opportunity to paint with her full artistic palette, especially in the romance and erotic fantasy genres.
The truth of the matter is she loves her fictional persona, Leslie North, more than her normal, day-to-day persona! Her bestselling books focus on strong characters and particularly women who aren't afraid to challenge an alpha male. Inspired after years of travel, her stories are set all over the world, from the tough streets of Russia to the beautiful beaches of the middle east.
Leslie fell in love with romance when she first picked up a scrappy, dog-eared romance book from her local library. She began writing soon after and the rest, as they say, was history. She now lives in a cozy cottage on the British coast and enjoys taking long walks with her two Dalmatians, George and Fergie.

Yusef won't trust Sara because of their past relationship that ended badly. I felt that if he paid attention to her actions he would have found out how wrong he had been. It takes him quite awhile to come to that conclusion. So much wasted time and energy. I really enjoyed reading this book and can't wait for the conclusion to the series that is coming up next.

The Sheikh's Surprise Bride is the second book in Matchmaking the Sheikhs of Al-Fatha trilogy by Leslie North. This can easily be read as a standalone romance.
I loved this second-chance romance! I loved Zara. She was such a strong, independent character who overcame so much! The chemistry between Zara and Yusef was incredible!
I really enjoyed this book! I loved the interactions and the sweet story! I'm also grateful for the peaks into Kadir and Stella's life!
This is a quick read, that I could not put down! I can't wait for the next book to be released later this month!
I'm so grateful to Leslie North, Relay Publishing, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.

As usual another brilliant romance from Leslie North. Fast becoming one of my favourite authors and never fails to deliver. Loved the premise and the characters in this book.

The Sheikh's Surprise Bride is the story of Zara and Yusef second chance at love. I have always been a fan of Leslie North and she did not disappoint with this book. I found the storyline enchanting and although we have all read books about a second chance at love, this one was far different than anything I have read. I thought the storyline was very intriguing and Zara and Ysef so easy to love. All the characters in the book played a important part. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!
