Danielle Greenski’s life is going to change in a big way. Single and newly pregnant, her days of traveling the globe for work and living a life of adventure are about to end. But not just yet—when she meets a gorgeous man who’s the perfect “last fling” before she settles down to mommyhood. After an amazing weekend with Sheikh Riyad Karawi, she’s totally fine with saying good-bye—until she’s kidnapped by rebels who think she’s carrying the Sheikh’s baby. Apparently, in addition to being a Sheikh, her weekend lover has some other big secrets he hasn’t shared. Like how he’s part of the country’s elite military squad. And wanted by rebels. And maybe the most intriguing man she’s ever met…
The last thing this womanizing charmer needs is to fall for a pregnant woman—it would completely blow the playboy persona he’s been using to get close to the rebel forces. But that’s what Sheikh Riyad is faced with after he meets American firebrand, Danielle. He can’t figure out why he feels the need to protect a woman he’s just met, why he can’t seem to get her out of his system—no matter how hard he tries—and why the thought of her going home is punching him in the gut. For now, he’ll just keep her around until he knows she’s safe. Or maybe, until he can convince her to stay.
If only he can make Danielle believe that he’s not just the playboy she met, but a man she could love forever. 3 STARS
This story had some good points. The idea that a woman was already pregnant when too strangers meet is different and caught my eye right away. I had also read stories about the other brothers and wondered about the youngest one, Riyad. The last story left off with questions about Riyad and what was he really doing? Was he really this wondering playboy wasting his life or was there more to it? At the end of the other book, he ended up showing a strength that they weren't expecting.
Sheihk Riyad and Danielle do end up having a lust filled couple of days/nights together. And then things got dangerous, more dangerous for Danielle that is. They have a hard time forgetting each other even though they live in a lot of denial for a while. During all the dangers and misunderstandings Riyad does try to keep Danielle safe. She doesn't always make that easy.
There are several false trails when it comes to finding out who the leader of the rebellion is but it makes for some great twists and turns. Not to worry though, the leader of the rebellion is exposed.
There is a H.E.A. for Riyad and Danielle but of course with these two spunky people it isn't a smooth path.
I voluntarily read an ARC of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”
