The Sheikh’s Pregnant Lover (Sheikhs of Al-Dashalid Book 1)

Sheikh Kyril was not going to let Hannah go. Their time together was worth everything. Even more so when he saw that she was pregnant with his child. And with the law of being married by 30. Now Kyril is racing the clock but Hannah isn’t going to married because he says so. She wants things on her terms. She wants love and not to be married because she is pregnant or a law.You have to give Hannah credit. She stuck to her guns. She was not going to marry just because Kyril said so and not because of a law. She wanted more. Kyril realized that and he knew he was going to have to make it right. I love that he went with her on her trip through Europe. Ok, he pretty much changed her plans a bit but still. When they finally married things didn’t improve though. Kyril was still making mistakes and taking away who Hannah was and is. Yes, they were hot and steamy but it took a great deal of understanding to finally come together.

This story needs more depth. It lacks conflict and depth to the main characters. Hannah needed to get over herself. She was immature and selfish and made everything about her. When she meets his family there is mention that she could be trouble for the royal family, but this aspect was never developed so why even mention it. Hannah seemed to lack the respect for Kyril's position as the leader of his country and all it entailed. Also, the book could have used a little more "spice" .

Great start to a new series by Leslie North will strong characters and a well-written story that kept me entertained and intrigued from start to finish. I really liked feisty American Hannah George and her chemistry and sweet romance with Sheikh Kyril. This quick, fun read is perfect for an afternoon of reading pleasure. I look forward to reading more about the Sheikhs of Al-Dashalid from this talented author. I received an advance reader copy of this book and this is my voluntary review.

Sheikh's found in romance books are usually even more overbearing than the usual alpha male. Sheikh Kyril was controlling and made decisions for Hannah, his lover and wife, because it was his duty to protect her and their baby. He didn't take in account that Hannah was a strong, independent woman and that was why he fell in love with her. Hannah gave in to him until she felt smothered by him and his mother and sister.He was in danger of losing her. However, he realized that he "did things against her wishes. He tried to make every decision for her best interests, without consulting her.” He let her know that he loved and respected her for the strong woman she was. He admitted that she needed him to be her companion more than her protector. More importantly, he needed to consult her before making decisions for her.By realizing her strengths, he was the better person. Their lives were made better by acknowledging each other's strengths which made them better lovers. Their attraction was extremely sensual and made even more so by then being different but independent. I can't wait to read the stories of his brothers. Hopefully, they will model their love lives after Sheikh Kyril.

This book brings us Crown Prince Skandar Al-Basran and Gina. Gina is in his country to do some research on plants with her team. However, the team becomes ill, and since they are on a time schedule, Gina decides to go along. She unintentionally interrupts a ritual and Skandar informs her that she must stay until the entire ritual is complete. There is chemistry there, and on her last night, Skandar arranges a massage for Gina. However, the masseuse turns out to be no other than Skandar himself. When The Crown Prince's father dies, and Gina realizes she is pregnant, they must marry to save face with their people, however, his Uncle is also trying to become King himself. There are clashes with cultures, but Gina does love his country very much. Will these two make it, or will their differences keep them apart. This was a good read. I did receive an arc for an honest review.

I liked the romantic love story between Hannah and Sheikh Kyril. Hannah is a strong lady spreading her wings after the heavy responsibility of raising her sister. She has embarked on a solo world tour where she meets Kyril and they share a magic week together. Sheikh Kyril can't forget Hannah and Hannah has strong feelings for Kyril. After resuming her travels Hannah finds she is pregnant and when Kyril finds out the battle begins. Kyril is VERY protective of Hannah and their baby. I enjoyed the story. Linda

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were interesting and the story line was good. I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it.

I really enjoyed reading this story. I was glad that there wasn’t any kidnapping Or attempts made on their lives. I was also happy that Hannah’s back aches were just normal pregnancy aches and not an impending miscarriage.

Boy and girl land up together ( surprise )

Enjoyed story

Lovely read would recommend
