Review: The Sheikh’s Secret Son (Sharjah Sheikhs #3) by Leslie North

My ReviewsHidden Agendas & Babies!

The Sheikh’s Secret Son is #3 of the Sharjah Sheikhs Series
by Leslie North.

Nicholas Thurkettle narrates.

HEA, NO cheating, no cliffhangers!

Even though these are listed as being able to be read as standalones, they are connected by characters. I always advise to read in order to get the most out of the experience.

Length: 3 hrs and 8 mins

Content Warning
SEX?: OH YEAH! Both in thoughts and actions, so if you do not like sex, then you should avoid.

♥ Story ♥

This is the last book in the Sharjah Sheikhs Series. Last but not least to the table is middle brother Zaid. Lucky for him, the precedent for choosing your own bride has already been set! The Sheikh’s Secret Son ebook is part of the Kindle Unlimited program.

 

Zaid ❤ Rebecca

 

Sheikh Zaid Al-Qasimi has a secret past that has secrets of its own! He never forgot his affair with the beautiful American five years ago, however time and circumstance made it practically impossible for them to have more. He is surprised but happy to see her in the palace with the diplomatic tour. Zaid’s attempts to pick-up where they left off falls flat, and it doesn’t take too long for him to find out why.

 

Rebecca Reid had a wondrously short affair with a sexy Sheikh, 5 years ago! She finds him hard to forget, especially when she sees his eyes every night when she reads them a bedtime story. She has a political agenda of her own, but it doesn’t include letting Zaid know of his son! Pretty F*d up considering how much of a brat she is to him when she first gets there. You know what they say about assuming?! Donkey City!

 

 

Despite the rough start to their reunion, they eventually work it out, that they are on the same team. They have to rally if they want to save Zaid’s people and economy as well their son. Lots of good plot twists to close out the series! The last few paragraphs of the story are the BEST! Even though I wanted to slap Rebecca in the back of the head a couple of times for being so rude, this is still my ♥ Favorite ♥ of the three! Lots of heart!

 

“It doesn’t have to stop ever,” …
… “I have you now, and I will always have you.”
— Zaid


♥ Author ♥

Leslie North loves her Sheikhs, and I am perfectly good with that! This was a very satisfying set of brothers. Sharjah Sheikhs: The Complete Series was released in March, so makes it a Definite buy/credit choice!

The only bad thing I can say about Nicholas Thurkettle’s performance is that its over. Luckily he also narrates the Adjalane Sheikhs Series! Nicholas does sexy Sheikhs oh so good!

I forgot to change my speed back to 1 after my last audiobook, (so wished it reset automatically if you are starting at page one). I ended up listening @ 0.95 speed, which sounded fine. Don’t be afraid to experiment.

Review: Dirty Prince By Sky Corgan

My Reviews


Touching And Enduring Love In A Time Of War!

Dirty Prince is a standalone, by Sky Corgan.

Kira Omans narrates.

HEA, NO cheating, NO cliffhangers!

Length: 4 hrs and 52 mins

Content Warning: Sex, Oh YES!

♥ Story ♥

This is so much more then the blurb suggests!
I fell in love with Fynn and Anya!

This is an alternate present day that is at war. Anya is a survivor that is savaging to get by with a raf tag group in the same boat. They move from place to place in an effort to avoid the troops of the winning side of this war. She comes across Fynn and his general sadly having to execute rebels who are still trying to win a war they have already lost. He spots Anya viewing this and is intrigued. He seeks her out to put a rest to his mind and only falls even more for Anya’s courage and kindness. She doesn’t know Fynn is the prince and they begin a friendship that only grows. Despite his status, Fynn still needs to find a way to keep Anya safe and so devises the plan for marriage and a baby.

“if someone starts to chase you, for the love of God, don’t head up the stairs. Haven’t you ever seen a horror movie before?”
— Fynn

It may seem a bit insta lust/love but its war people! This is about so much more! They do actually get to know each other and find mutual comfort and peace. Its quite touching and this story is now on my favorites list. There is action, love, and hot sex scenes! It’s a great listen, and if you have Kindle Unlimited, you can get the ebook version free.

Review: Intercepted by Love: Part 1 by Rachelle Ayala


My Reviews


First Steps in a New Romance!

Intercepted by Love: Part 1 is quite literally that, the first title in the Quarterback’s Heart Series out of 6, by Rachelle Ayala.

Chris Abell narrates.

Cliffhanger!
Cade and Andie’s story continues in Part 2.

Being the first, it could be read as a standalone, but I always advise to read in order to get the most out of the experience.

Length: 2 hrs and 54 mins

Content Warning: The author lists this series as (Steamy)

♥ Story ♥

This title is currently available as part of the Audible Romance Package. The ebook counterpart is available through the Kindle Unlimited program.

Cade Prescott is a professional quarterback hiding out after a Super Bowl loss, as well as other bad press. He meets Andie Wales in the library while she is doing research on bad boys of old. They may not have a love connection at first, but their dogs have no issue taking things to the next level. While dealing with the health and welfare of their future litter, things shift for these canine owners.

Cade’s past can’t be avoided, and there are others in town that also want to make a name for themselves. Particularly a co-worker that will inspire you to want to commit fictional violence. You can read my rant in my First Impressions post for more details.

This story ends in a cliffhanger, so you may want to go ahead and get the whole series now so you can easily go on to part 2! All parts are on the Audible’s Romance Package. I am going to have to do this myself, because I am impatient and I gotta find out how it all ends!

Rachelle Ayala writes just as good dirty as she does clean! Her heros and heroines inspire just as much love as her villians inspire fictional murder!

Chris Abell did well with all the characters he voiced, especially the villians. Falling in love can be easy, but invoking hate from the pit of your gut takes talent!

Length: 7 hours 49 minutes

Publisher: N.E. Conneely

Released: Sep. 10, 2015

Genre: Paranormal, Supernatural

When Michelle pulls an old book out of a fire, she finds answers and heartbreak. The book confirms that a demon walks the land, though according to legend they were all dead. Now, she needs to rediscover the secrets to killing demons before her loved ones fall victim.

Elron’s budding relationship with Michelle suffers a blow when his mate returns. While he struggles with love and guilt, it becomes clear that not everyone gets their happily-ever-after.

N.E. Conneely lives in northern Georgia with her dog and a mountain of books. They sweat through the summer and freeze through the winter, and life as they know it comes to an end when so much as a single snowflake falls out of the sky. For fun, N.E. plays with her dog, reads, knits, crochets, paints, and does tie-dyeing and origami. She makes a great pizza and is currently negotiating with her husband about raising sea monkeys and growing a vegetable garden.

Review: A Witch’s Trial (Witch for Hire #3) by N. E. Conneely


My Reviews


Answers and Conclusions, Mostly!

A Witch’s Trial is the third title in the Witch for Hire Series by N.E. Conneely and the conclusion for the box set.

Jeff Hays narrates.

This has multiple POVs, but it is a continuing story arc revolving around One Main Character!
HFN endings with no cliffhangers.
I would advise to read these in order to get the most out of the experience.

Length: 7 hrs and 49 mins

Content Warning: Still PG in terms of steam.

♥ Story ♥

I listened to this as part of A Witch’s Path Box Set. It is also available as a single title as well. Both ebook counterparts are available through the Kindle Unlimited program.

This picks up with the last few paragraphs of the end of book #2 and the action is fairly non stop from then on out. We get answers but also more questions to carry forward into more books. The overall demon arc is addressed but the Witch Clans are still an open issue. I think the author originally intended this to be a trilogy, and I’m glad that proved to be a false idea!

“Those hags weren’t going away without a fight, though calling them hags might be a disservice to hags in general. Hags have better manners.”
— Michelle

We get to see a lot of characters in action and to let out their battle cry. Abilities and powers are revealed. The Gargoyles get to show off why they were created, and its pretty Awesome! The world building and mythology only gets better. I can see where the author as well as fans of the series would be reluctant to simply finish here. Glad to see it expand with new stories to come.

The emotions are high in this one! There were a few times I couldn’t even comment in my Read Along. If you are tender like me, there will be tears, but its bitter sweet tears. It is a satisfactory end to this box set, and I am definitely looking forward to more. Hopefully the next books in the series will make it to audio soon!
