This was my least favorite of the series.  I found the concept of an arranged marriage with a bride switch that no one knows about to be a stretch of my imagination.  I liked Nasim but Ginni left me somewhat underwhelmed.  I was given an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fantastic addition to this fantastic series by this amazing author. This is one of my favourite series by this author too. I just loved the story from the very first page till the last word. I felt like I was thrown right into this book with how amazing the story is and I could just picture the whole story as I was reading this book. I loved everything about this book, the storyline, the chemistry/romance and the characters. I could not find anything that I didn’t like with any of the 3 books and this is why I always come back to this amazing author for books to enjoy as your always guaranteed a fantastic story to read and I would absolutely and totally recommend this book to everyone. I’ve even got my mum and a couple of friends reading this authors books.

Sheikh Nasim Said is going through with his arranged marriage—it will be good for business, and his country Zahkim, even if his cousin Arif says it will be a disaster. But when his veil- shrouded bride faints halfway through the ceremony, he discovers he hasn’t married the daughter of a neighboring king, but the luscious Ginni Leeland. His wife is a stranger, but he can’t wait to get to know her better –in every way—even if her stunt has threatened Zahkim’s relationship with their neighbor.When I started reading I couldn't put it down I read the book in one day.Leslie North is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of her books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.

This book was not for me.
The heroine really got on my nerves.

I had high hopes for this book based on the description and other reviews. Sadly, I was disappointed. The characters were not well developed as individuals, and I wasn't convinced they had feelings for each other either.  Their "chemistry" was very ho-hum. Additionally, Ginny, the female protagonist, was whinny and seemed to want to prove she could run her dad's company without actually doing anything except complaining that she was never taken seriously. The descriptions of the sexism Ginny had faced were well done, but she didn't come off as someone competent to run a business, which was her goal throughout most of the book.

I don't know how North makes these stories feel so fresh and fun but I adore her for doing so.  This is just the latest masterpiece!

Fun, sexy read. I enjoyed it and this series.

This book was one of the best, if not the best contemporary romance romance! The characters actually had depth and the female lead was not the usual type that gets bossed around, she knows what she wants and she goes for it. I really liked Ginni, was was funny and had a great attitude. The sheikh Nasim was holding his own, but was definitely not a pushover and let Ginni be herself, rather than trying to change her to accommodate him.  The plot was well made in its simplicity as the characters were the true stars of this book. I very much enjoying this book and I will look up this author for more of her books. It is the only occasion when I gave 5 stars to a contemporary romantic novel!

A fun and feisty read. An entertaining storyline featuring switched brides, ruined business deals, and the looming possibility of all out war. Ginni and Nasim have great chemistry and whether they were arguing or giving in to their surprising attraction to one another, the sparks lit up the pages of this book. A very enjoyable romance.

Because it is a contemporary setting, the author can cleverly have all the tropes of a Sheik (wealth, power, jewels) AND modern liberated women having a lot of very hot and satisfying sex.

ARC - I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest
Zahkim was marrying the neighboring daughter because it was good for business.
Ginni was just doing a favor for a friend.
Now she is married to a sheikh.
What are the odds of that ?
The storytelling + the character's build were awesome!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!

Good intentions can sometimes land you in trouble and if you're Ginni, it can get you married to a Sheikh who's impatient and under pressure to forge an alliance to save his country. It can also give you the opportunity to experience a culture and fall in love.
I'll start by saying that the Zahkim series is serving me strong willed female characters who shake the foundation of the men and end up realizing a possibility.
I've loved reading the books in this series and cannot wait for more from Leslie North.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to have read this eARC and NetGalley and the Publisher made this happen because when it comes to romance be it Sheikhs or Billionaires, Leslie's books never disappoint.

This book is so sweet, like cotton candy! I loved it! It is a sweet, sexy, fun read.

DNF.

The entire book (digital ARC) was typed with a bold font.  I’m used to chapter headings using a bold font but not the whole book.  It made reading impossible as I had a blinding headache within a couple of chapters.  Leslie North books are always enjoyable so I’m sad to miss out on this one.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this copy.

North takes Ginni Leeland to the desert where Sheikh Nasim Said is getting married to her friend Jasmine.  It is a marriage of business connections only with Jasmine's father Tarek.  Instead of leaving the Sheikh hanging Jasmine substitutes Ginni for herself at the alter hidden with thick veils. Surprised by all in attendance at the wedding  war my be the result.  Romantic pairing of couple and the events that bring them together.  "A copy of this book was provided by Relay Publishing via Netgalley with no requirements for a review.  Comments here are my honest opinion."  This is a stand alone read but all in this series are quick love stories.

I always love these Sheikh's romance novels. The idea that Nasim could marry the wrong woman, made me laugh a little. Nasim does his best to make it all work out in the end.
