The Sheikh's Fake Fiancée

De: Leslie North

Narrado por: Roberto Scarlato

After losing her parents, American artist Elena set out on a trip around the world. Now, in the sultry heat of the Middle East, she's having a hard time imagining returning to real life back home. But with half of her vacation still ahead of her, she and her friend are packed and ready to move onto their next destination...when a chance encounter changes everything. A dark, handsome stranger with a devilish grin catches Elena's eye, but how could she know that an innocent favor is about to change her life forever?

Sheikh Asim always relies on his intuition...with business and with women. Along with his brothers, he works hard to keep their company profitable, but he prefers to live in the moment. With pressure mounting from his mother to settle down and marry a family friend, Asim needs an escape. He's enchanted by the beguiling American beauty he sees at the café, and she couldn't have come along at a better time. But when he asks her to be his fake fiancée, he never could have known she would change his life forever.

The two waste no time coming together, but when the spontaneity wears off and Elena learns of an unexpected complication, will Asim be ready to face the future?

Sweet story!

This was a sweet short love story with a HEA. I liked the main characters Asim and Elena. The story was predictable, but well written. I hope we'll learn more about the other characters in this Series. This was my first Leslie North's book and my first listen to Roberto Scarlato. He has a great voice and I like his voice when he is acting Asim.

Love the new narrator!!

I am truly a Leslie North fan. These sheikh series are sweet, steamy and have the added draw of foreign lands. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Entertaining

I enjoyed this book from the beginning. The story was developed well and kept up a steady pace. It is good to see love happen naturally without a whole lot of angst to build up to the loving. These two sparked and the fire was ignited and set to a slow permanent burn. The narration evoked the emotions that were intended.

Love this book!!!

I really loved and enjoyed this book. As a Leslie North fan it was just the way I like it with the ending having a little twist. This is my first audiobook, and I have to say that I may go this route in the future; but only books I’ve read beforehand. I was not at all prepared for the 3.5 hrs, but like any other book I made the time. I wasn’t too fond of the narrator at first because he was making my sheikh sound like dracula, but after I adjusted to his rhythm it became easier.

A sweet surprise.

With Asim and Elena, Ms. North veered off course. Normally she sets out to seduce her readers with the alpha hero and his tempting ways. This time, she laid the groundwork for romance before any enticing was done. It took a bit longer for the spark to ignite, but the end result was an amazing love story. Like the elegant sagas of old, The Sheikh's Fake Fiancee has a captivating quality that lingers even as the journey ends.
