“The Sheikh’s Surprise Triplets” is the epic ending of the Azhar Sheikhs Trilogy, a trilogy that mixes sexual and sexy scenes with real topics, like green energy and social programs to help the underdogs of the world.
But let’s start from the beginning: Juliette is a strong and independent woman, one that has worked really hard to get where she is. She’s been called by Safyia to help his youngest son’s division, Basri. But Basri is all but predictable: rich, young and creative, he’s doing what he does best: creating chaos, but in that chaos finding inspiration to help the others. He will instantly feel attracted to Juliette, and that feeling is reciprocated by her. Juliette hides a hurtful past, strongly connected to the fact that she can’t have babies and this is felt by her as a kind of stigma.

That was when her career still had more rugs to ascend.
And now, here she was: at the top of the ladder looking down. Wondering how the hell she’d gotten up here, and if she’s packed a parachute.
(Juliette)

As the weeks pass by, the sexual attraction between Juliette and Basri is undeniable, and she accepts his invite to go to Georgia with him on a survival hiking. Juliette is dubious at the beginning, but she will decide to accept it. Eventually, she has nothing to lose. She even hasn’t got a family, only her sister – with which she’s still in touch and with whom she shares her love for precision and planning.

She had to take this one to counsel before answering because no matter how badly she wanted to say yes, she knew it was for all the wrong reasons.
(Juliette)

For me, this is the best book of the trilogy. Not only because it combines steamy scenes, but because finally I saw a real develop in the characters. I’m still not fully convinced about insta-love, it’s kinda surreal to me right now, but for these books it’s the best fit. The alternate POV, both of Juliette and Basri, it’s perfect and you can feel on your skin their feelings and their emotions.

This book, although, combined also high-risk adventures in a remote village in the Caucasian mountains, making it one of the best books I’ve read by Leslie North by far.
I salute you with a quote from this book, that I advise to you all:
“Basri himself has was an adventure. One she’d been desperate for without even realizing it.”

A great light-hearted romance with a dash of suspense!

Beginning to end I loved it all. Yummy yummy. Couldn't put it down.

Highly enjoyable, sweet, sexy and emotional opposites attract romantic adventure with a twist of danger. I loved the strength of family bound this series presents in each story.

Sheikh Basri Azhar is the youngest and most like his father, he is brilliant, sweet, sexy, creative and not fond of structured schedules. His creativity is fueled mostly by thrill seeking adventure which is why he disappears often to think through his most challenging projects (something his board of directors does not understand). Juliette is organized, disciplined and sexy sweet. She has built a reputation for assisting difficult CEO's reach their full potential in business and is hired to regain Basri into the corporate world to please the board of directors. These two are fire and ice and I loved them.

Juliette was in Beirut now and had been since yesterday. Safiyah had hired Juliette on the spot over Skype. Juliette had an all expenses paid trip to Lebanon to see if the new position would really work out. Juliette would be working for Dawson Technologies in NYC she had been with the company for five years. But Juliette felt it was time to move on. Juliette had barely put her availability on the job network before Safeyah contacted her. Safiyah said her youngest son Basri was in charge at Soft Works and had met with many struggles . The biggest being the board that doesn’t believe in Basri. Also it was a critical time in the family’s direction. A company recently announced their intent to purchase Basri’s division. If Basri could not win the board over, the division would be sold. Juliette said that” This will be an extremely rewarding challenge , then I assure you , I’ve never met an executive I couldn’t whip into shape”. Safiyah told her the members of the board didn’t understand Basri. Without proper guidance Basri may find the board turn on him. Which could mean him not only losing the company but also his job.Juliette found with how much money she was being offered only complete success will do. When Juliette first came looking for Basri she didn’t realize she was talking to him already as he didn’t tell her. Basri thought Juliette was beautiful but knew from experience not to mix business and pleasure. Juliette was crazy attracted to Basri and had erotic images of them together even though she knew that wasn’t being professional. Then Basri asks Juliette to go on an adventure with him to the mountains and after he talked to her sister Juliette decides to go. Juliette thought of her diagnosis of infertility with no hope of having her own baby when she was in her early twenties. She also knew her and Basri could go no where with the way his people felt about family and having children. Also Juliette remembered how her ex had left her when he found out Juliette could not have children. Basri had never had anyone go with him when he went on any of his getaways before. They were going to the country of Georgia and hike in the mountains.
I liked this story a lot. The only problem I had was even though this was a fast read at times it dragged for me. Other than that the book was perfect as far as I was concerned. I loved the way there was an answer to Juliette not being able to have children. I absolutely loved the ending. I also loved Juliette and Basri together. I wish the story had been longer though only because I liked it so much. But this story still had everything it needed. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this story and I recommend. I wish I could rate this 4.5 as I feel this book deserves it.

Lselie North is a master of novella style sexy romance romps. I quite enjoyed.

Good story line and characters that the reader can enjoy. Basri is the last of the brothers but a good story on its own.
Ebook from Netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

The Sheikh's Surprise Triplets is the third book in the Azhar Sheikhs series by Leslie North. While some of the favorite characters from the earlier books do make cameos in the this book, the focus is on Juliette and Basri Azhar.

Juliette makes everyone around her better and through determination and skill has proved herself in helping CEOs and heads of firms achieve their full potential. Her latest assignment is Sheikh Basri Azhar, the head of the company's tech division. He’s handsome, charismatic, and awakens feelings in Juliette that she had long buried. But she remains committed to tame the desert beast.

Basri Azhar has always been his father’s son. He values hard work and ingenuity, but he prefers an unstructured approach and works to his best potential in the shifting sands of his kingdom. His new co-worker Juliette, however, is the polar opposite who likes structure and discipline.

It is a case of an unstoppable force meeting an immutable object. So when Basri takes Juliette along on his latest adventure the chemistry between them combusts and Juliette begins to see the real Basri and understands what makes him tick

Together, Basri and Juliette work together to save the company and ultimately themselves. This was a sweet read which will hook the reader and keep them coming back for more


Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC

This story is a fun, quick, very steamy adventurous read. There is a good plot and the characters are interesting. Just when I thought I knew what was going to happen next, something different happens. The triplets add an interesting twist to the story.

I read the second book in this series recently and was interested in giving the series another chance. And I liked this one but I didn't love it. I think my primary issue with the book was that there was literally no character development. It was like here they are ... oh and now they are in love. It just felt unreal to me. And that made the story itself not work as well as it could have. I also found the middle eastern stuff to be a bit typical ... in that I didn't see anything new or special or interesting about that part. I pretty much knew exactly what was going to happen and there was no surprise waiting for me. All in all, I recommend it if you enjoy this series already. But, I wouldn't start here ... this wasn't quite as good as I'd have hoped.

I couldn't get into book 1 of this series, so I didn't read this book.

I was hooked from the very first page. This book gave me an immense amount of pleasure, the story/book is that fantastic. Another 5 star novel from a amazing author Leslie North. I'm so excited I can't wait for more from her, just love her books. Would totally recommend

This is part of a trilogy and I was pleasantly surprised at how much better this book is than the first two of the series.

One thing that has challenged me through these three books is how women are portrayed, considering that the seating is the Middle East. Is this an alternate world where women are not oppressed by the political /religious atmosphere? In these books, women seem to be treated with equality, there are no issues with clothing, heck...they even go swimming in a pool. Is this how the Middle East is and we don't see that in the US or is this a "wished for" reality. Certainly it's nothin I've seen on any television or movie.

Great book. It was fun and easy reading. I really enjoyed being able to follow along with the young sheik and learn how he was misunderstood by most of his family.

This started out well for me but slowly became a chore to finish. A somewhat sophisticated PA gets a position with a Lebanese software firm who is fighting a hostile takeover - which everyone but the CEO knows. A few days into the job, the PA goes on a 3 day trek around the Caucasus mountains. In the process of getting rescued from their helicopter crash, they bring along triplets and a 12 year orphan.

The PA language was out of line for her person. Eff- bombs are pretty normal in the alpha hero world of romance books but did not fit for this woman at all. The sheikh proposing after 10 days would indicate a man of heart and passion yet when he didn't immediately spot the pilot of the helicopter - they just moved on as if he didn't exist. This sheikh who was supposedly intelligent had no clue his company was being zeroed in on for takeover - just not feasible.

There was no real chemistry between the sheikh and the PA, yes he bedded her but the sex scenes were sophomoric and didn't lead the reader to believe there was romance involved - just a quick toss in the woods.

Although I prefer Leslie North's sturdy cowboys (as I mentioned in my review of The Sheikh's Fake Fiancee), I still couldn't help myself when I saw The Sheikh's Surprise Triplets. So I requested the arc and Netgalley provided me this beauty. Yay! I was intrigued by the title: how do you get a surprise triplet?
Well, I'm not going to tell you how, because that would definitely spoil the story. But I can tell you that this story was a little more believable than the Sheikh's Fake Fiancee. And definitely a lot sweeter. Basri is just a lot more of a character than Nasir and Asim. But the best part is still their mother: Safiya. She keeps on meddling (or mothering) her boys. This time she hires Juliette as the new PA for Basri. She is quite the opposite of him: punctual, structured and a little bit stuck up. And Basri drives her crazy, with his appointments: 'somewhere at the end of the week' or his changes in the planning: 'I'll be away for the next few days'. But she is determined to get Basri organized and show them how good she is at her job. No easy feat, when your panties are nearly melting everytime your boss is winking at you. And Basri likes to make Juliette's job a challenge, because he likes to see her get frustrated. When he asks her to come on a 'adventure' trip to brainstorm for new business ideas, she decides to go with him. But can they keep a professional distance? Or will the attraction they share combust? Find out in this third part of the Azhar's Sheikh series. Four out of five stars from me.

This is my favorite of all three books in this series. Just when I thought I know what was going to happen next, something different happen. This is a fun, quick, steamy and adventurous read. The story has a great plot and wonderful characters. I would recommend this book to everyone.

This is the first book I've read from this author and I would say it can be read as a standalone. It's a fast paced romance with a boss named Basri and his PA Juliette. I enjoyed both characters and even Basri's mother Safiyah. It wasn't a bad story, it was just an okay read for me. The beginning started off slow, I enjoyed the middle but the ending was unbelievable. I enjoy a good romance book but I would have liked it to be believable and up until the ending it was. I expected so much for from this story because it had the potential to be great, it just didn't turn out that way for me. I don't regret reading it and I'm actually glad I had the chance to read this authors work.
