A cute light read, slow to start and I felt not as good as leslie’s usual work , I liked her attempts to try something different in this with the educational needs of Danny, but it just didn’t feel right or well done, I don’t think it should be done in this type of book as these are so light it can’t really do such an important issue the justice it needs and deserves

This contemporary mail-order bride isn't overly unique, but it does have some good points - and a cute kid.

The website was a little over the top, but the idea of someone using it was too. If you look past that it is a story of a desperate woman moving to a foreign country to solve her financial woes through marriage.

I really liked Jayne and her heart for education but Danny drove me insane. He was way too immature for her.

I think I would recommend this as a billionaire romance more than as a marriage of convenience.

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.

Like other Leslie North books, this one is a quick and easy read. I tend to use her books after I read something heavy and I just need something to occupy my mind elsewhere. This book is the third in the series and is about the youngest prince in the family, Danny. He is the forever playboy and one night in a drunken stupor, his friends order him a mail order bride online. He doesn't remember a thing. But then a single mom shows up as his intended and Danny doesn't know what to do. Except he falls head over heels for Jayne and her little boy, Noah. But can he make it work and can he get rid of his playboy ways? This is a cute book.

The Sheikh's Mail-Order Bride by Leslie North

This book is the third book in the series by Leslie North .

This particular book by Leslie North was not as good as normal.

Very slow to get started and a little disappointing.

A very average read not good not bad.

Basicly just a story about a single mum who finds love in an unlikely place and from a party animal who not only is nice to her but also really connects with her kid.
The whole royal background and exotic location is more or less non -existent. It is just an easy read that will appeal to mums.
It contains some erotic moments but is not mummy porn.
Well written.

The Sheikh's Mail-order Bride is a part of a series, but you could read it as a stand-alone. I personally read them all, and suggest you read them all they are equally great reads!

Jayne was struggling financially as a single mom and decided to sign up as a mail-order bride to a rich man. She really didn't know what she was getting herself into but thought it was worth a chance for her son and her future. When she arrives, she realizes her soon-to-be husband is a prince. When she arrives he quickly remembers letting his friend sign him up for the service during a night filled with partying and alcohol. It a legal contract in hand they are faced with a decision.

Fantastic book, I loved it!

After reading the second book in this series, I felt slightly let down by this book. I felt the relationship was rushed, especially considering Jayne had a child to think about too.
I also thought it was very samey compared to book 2, bloke pushes woman away and then goes crawling back.
I usually enjoy Leslie North books but this one didn’t have the usual drama.

Thanks to #Netgalley for making this book available to me.
I have been reading Leslie North's books for years and whilst they usually have similar Arab prince trope, they are all always so fresh and interesting.
Here we follow Prince Danyal who has just found that he ordered a bride online. She is at his door (rather, at the palace) and he has to figure out how to not make a mockery of the entire royal family. Jayne has travelled a long way with her son to marry an Arab prince hoping that all her money problems will be solved.
Since this book is not that long, saying anything about it would be spoiling it.

this was not worth my time. Jayne and Danny jump into it after knowing each other a minute. It is not worthy of this genre.

Not what I was expecting but still fabulous
Prince Danyal has accidentally ordered a bride online following a drunken night with friends and had then forgotten about it. Jayne is that bride and with her young son Noah has travelled half way round the world for the wedding and things aren’t quite happening how she expected…
Danny is a brilliant character, he has been hiding secrets his whole life as instead makes up for it by being the life and soul of the party but meeting Jayne turns everything upside down and makes him look inside himself and question his beliefs and actions. He is also fun, caring and stubborn but this is part of what made me love him
Jayne is a brilliant mum and she would do anything for her son but she also wants to be happy and Danny could do make that happen for her. She comes across as a real person with a lot of depth and I could easily see her stepping off the page
This novella caught my attention and it looks at the differences between the faces we put on and the actual person underneath (as well as some of the drama from online dating!)
I would recommend this book to those who enjoy a romance where the main characters challenge each other to become the person they know they can be with some surprises along the way

I didn't like this book, period! I mean seriously? Danny and Jayne had no chemistry whatsoever. I even liked the previous two books better.

Classic trope
Read in a afternoon she gets married to a prince by an ad on a mail order bride site
And she is a single mommy of a cute toddler
Nice
Not unforgettable but a nice mouth washer 2 stars

Leslie North consistently brings great characters and passionate romance to life. As a big fan North's, her name provokes an automatic one-click from me. I am always entertained.

Third and final in this series. This sheikh’s friends sign him up and purchase a bride. The story spins into an HEA from there. A small touch on learning disabilities, romance,steam, drama and the expected ending. Ok read.

Fantastic story that gives some insight into the lives of royalty. Leslie North has written a superb book about a crazy American who gives up everything based solely on a mail-order bride website. An unbelievable scenario but you will fall in love with Jayne, Danny, but especially Noah her son. Cute little antics thrown in along with some unusual family drama. Really enjoyed the maturity and devotion that the author gave Jayne.
I always enjoy this author’s books and this is another one that exemplifies how well-written they are.

Absolutely amazing story. It's rare to get one of those books you can't put down, but this is most certainly one of them.I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The author makes you feel as if you're walking along beside the characters , seeing everything they do and feeling everything they feel. The heat between the two main characters is intense and has you hoping they get a happily ever after. This is by far the best romance I've read this year, I cannot recommend this book enough.

This was an enjoyable, quick read. While the characters and plot are not based in reality, it's a good fictional escape.

This was a cute, quick romance. A little bit unrealistic, what royal family is just gonna let some random person in without an extensive background check? Also, I didn't really feel the chemistry between the two main characters. They'd barely even interacted before they were acting like they couldn't survive without each other. Which is fine for a fling, but for a single mother looking for marriage, unlikely.

Mail order bride is what Jayne Barnes had to resort to in order to secure a safe environment for her two year old son Noah. She signs up and bingo she is a match and flies across the country to meet her new prospective bridegroom, Danyal, a billionaire Prince!
Except this Prince is not so easy going to be shackled. He signed up on a dare. How legal is the contract and how can he get out of it. His brother thinks he should court Jayne.!

I have read four or five of Leslie Norths books and have enjoyed them, This has been the first one that I had a hard time following and it jumped around too much which then made cracks in the cohesiveness.
The plot and characters seem stilted and they needed to relax and enjoy the closeness the author was going to share with her written

I received a free advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions.

This is Jayne and Danyal’s story. He is a prince who got drunk with his friends. He lets his friends sign him up for a mail order bride. Jayne moves half way around the world with her son in tow. He is told by his family that he has to court her. Their relationship has many ups and downs. He has a secret that splits them apart until he admits it. I loved the story. I just wish that Edlyn had her own story. I can’t wait for Leslie North’s next book.
