Publisher's summary

She’s expecting a simple business deal, but he’s expecting much more....

Annabelle works tirelessly for her father’s mining company, despite their rocky relationship. So when he asks her to travel to the Middle East to complete an important business merger, Annabelle sees an opportunity. It’s her chance to prove her worth, but the culture clash proves difficult for the strong-minded American woman. She’s supposed to work closely with the son of the oil company’s CEO, but Annabelle’s not sure what to make of Imaad. He may be gorgeous, but she refuses to be cowed by his good looks or his old-fashioned ways.

Sheikh Imaad is ruthless in his business dealings for the family oil company, but standing up to his traditional father is not as simple. When he learns his father’s full intentions - that the business arrangements include an arranged marriage to the American executive, Imaad wants to refuse. His intended bride is both beautiful and brash, but Imaad has a plan. If he can convince Annabelle to go along with the fake marriage, they might both get what they truly want. Sounds simple, but Imaad soon realizes it won’t be easy to tame a Western woman.

yes to Imaad :)

A short but entertaining story that took Annabelle and Imaad from doing everything to stop the arranged marriage to falling in love. It was fast, kept my attention and had me rooting for them. The steamy scene in the dessert was really hot. Ending in a satisfying way resolving quite a few problems, the HEA is clear for these two and make a great pair. Looking forward to the next story in the series.

Enjoyed the narrator's voice, animated and engaging, good accents and variations, I will be checking out his other works too.

Business or Pleasure?

This is a fun listen that moves fast. The storyline is not original but enjoyable. Daughter blackmailed by father to do something and in return he supports her mother. Son is told by father that its his obligation to the family. The two get together and think they outsmart their parents and fall in love. Their journey to find love was full of great imagery and exotic locations. The narrator was new to me, and he had a pleasant voice. I would continue to listen to more books by this wonderful author and talented narrator. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. Books by this author are great escapisms from cold winter days and bring sunshine and steam.

Enjoyable Listen

The Sheikh’s Contract Fiancee is the first book in the Almasi Sheikhs series. It was my first book by author Leslie North and my first listen with narrator Craig Van Ness.
The story is short and fairly predictable, but enjoyable as light entertaining reading.
Annabel is a bit of a brat and annoying although I did appreciate that she was put into a difficult situation and wanted to rebel against her controlling father.
Sheikh Imaad seemed to roll with the punches a bit better. He found ways to deal with each situation and adjusted. I could find myself swooning for this Sheikh!
When the story started I felt like the narration was just a bit too precise or staccato, but as I fell into the rhythm of the story, the pace seemed to fit the tale. Overall an entertaining experience and I’d definitely listen to more books with this narrator.

Love is risky business, but heady stuff.

Imaad and Annabelle are as different as night and day, but they share one commonality. Proving themselves to the people they love.   Secret agendas conspire to bring them together, will a plan of their own, bind them forever?  Ms. North made use of a commonplace theme to create an original masterpiece.

A Sheikh's story!

This is the first book in the Almasi Sheikhs Series. I like Sheikh's story. This was a good, short and predictable story. This was my second Leslie North's book and my first listen with narrator Craig Van Ness. He has a good voice, easy to listen. Overall, this was a good and entertaining story.
