**My thanks to Netgalley and Relay Publishing, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

Willow is back to the land where she went to college, she is also now working alongside the man that broke her heart who she thought she would be married to.

Nasser has never gotten over his first longterm girlfriend and seeing the one that got away again brings back so many memories.

When they are stuck visiting their site when a dust storm appears for the night, old memories and attraction leads to a night of passion and a broken condom.

As with most books like this everything seems to go swimmingly well for a while, but neither are really dealing with the past and therefore a misunderstanding happens and it is family that has to point out how stupid they are being.

I enjoyed this book and the positivity that the book ends up bringing.

Nasser Safar isn’t what you’d call a long-term man. Over the last few years he’s been raising funds for an education initiative for his Tribe, and while he’s still focused on that, he’s also been playing the field—trying to outrun the memory of the woman who left him. She chose her love for her sister over her love for him. It’s a wound that still haunts Nasser, even while he continues the education project that had been their shared dream. Willow Everstone left the only man she’d ever loved after he’d given her an ultimatum: stay with him, or return home to her family. It was the hardest decision she ever had to make, and in the end she lost her chance at a future with the love of her life. Now, with her family situation stable, Willow is ready to follow her dream of bringing education to all parts of the world. Her first project? A newly minted international initiative...in Nasser’s country.
This was a great story by a great author. I’ve read a number of her books and they don’t disappoint. I really liked both main characters as well as the plot. I recommend.

Willow and Nasser’s relationship broke both of them several years ago when she went to take care of her sick sister. Feelings of abandonment issues plaque them both as they meet again. Working together they finally leave the past where it belongs and embrace a new future together changing the education of his country forever. Great ending to the series.

Another excellent book by Ms. North. I couldn't put The Sheikh's Sham Engagement down. It was a roller coaster of emotion but worth it!

Nasser Safar never forgot Willow Everstone who chose her family over his love. Now these two are working together on a task for his country and overcome their past. The third brother of the Safar sheikhs brings romance and a good tale.
Ebook from netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

Complementary copy given for honest review. Great series! This book lets you continue to see the brothers and wives. There is a lot of immature feelings in this book but they eventually resolve. Good stand alone book, if desired.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

I really was not sure how Willow and Nasser were going to get their issues resolved as he seemed so immature and after Willow becomes pregnant, she is so emotional.

The first book in this series was my favorite and in my opinion the best of the three. I do like that we keep seeing all the brothers and their wives in the book and kind of keeps you updated to the changes in their lives.

The HEA was pretty good and Nasser seemed a little more mature and willing to work together with Willow.

Not abad book might have been a bit better if I had read the series in order but overall I enjoyed it as a good quick read.

Very good story. It was on the same level as the first two I read. Short read but a nice story flow. Put it on your weekend book list.

Oh how I loved this story about leaving self-centeredness behind and grow into maturity. Learning what it means to really love someone is a very valuable lesson we all need to take on if we ever want to have a chance at a long-lasting relationship. Willow and Nasser need to learn this lesson. Doesn’t matter if you’re poor or even a sheikh. Of course, all this drama about the push and pull between Willow and Nasser, you have all the wonderful backdrop of the perks of being part of the royal family.

Nasser Safar is the youngest of the three brothers and likes to live for the moment with no long term plans. For the past two years he has been raising funds for an education initiative for his Tribe and trying to forget about the woman who left him when she chose her love for her sister over her love for him.

Willow Everstone left the only man she’d ever loved after he gave her an ultimatum: stay with him, or return home to care for her sick sister. It was the hardest decision she ever had to make. But now that her sister is well Willow is ready to follow her dream. Her first project is a newly minted international initiative that takes place in Nasser’s country.

Neither Nasser nor Willow are happy having to work together to create the Tribe’s new school. But when a visa issue almost kicks Willow out of the country Nasser offers an unconventional solution: a fake engagement. Despite their earlier reluctance, the marriage of convenience soon turns sultry glances into steamy nights. And when a surprise baby calls the “fake” part of their plan into question, they’ll have to decide if they’re willing to give their second chance at love a fighting chance, or leave their blossoming future behind.

The Sheikh's Sham Engagement is yet another good Leslie North read, up to par with the rest of her work. It's a fast and steamy end of the summer read for me, with no real languishing drama, which is what I want in a romance book sometimes. Nassar and Willow make a great couple and it was fun to see how they relate to the other couples as well. Although I didn't read the two preceding books, I felt like Leslie North gave enough background for me to just jump right into the story. Overall a quick enjoyful read.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the third book in a series. I have read the others, and this reads well as a stand alone. This is a.quick, fun, fast paced book. I liked the characters Nasser and Willow. I think most romance readers would enjoy. 3.5 stars

Classic Leslie North, great chemistry and fabulous characters, I loved it, a great fast paced addictive read, it will have you up late and wanting more. Hot, steamy and just a little drama, great stuff

I liked the way that Nasser's two sister in laws got along with Willow instantly. It helped her, by seeing how happy they were. Nasser and Willow are definitely happy, but you know there always has to be a kink in the relationship some where.

This ARC was courtesy of netgalley -all thoughts and opinions are mine and unbiased
I also post to Amazon, Goodreads, B&N, Kobo

This is part of a series and I have been lucky enough to have read the others in the series

This one is Nasser and Willow's story

I enjoyed this and if you like your romances a bit hot and steamy and exotic you'll enjoy this. To be honest, I enjoyed some of the others more, for instance, Calla and Fatim's story and this is really an extension of this

I would say as a precursor, it is worth reading the others first and then this as the story kind of rounds things up

A good, quick summer read
