3 out of 5 stars! Will Marian & Omar be able to move on from their misgivings to negotiate a good deal or will everything fall apart, just as they try to get their bliss?

While I liked this novel's pace, premise, and plot, I had a hard time truly enjoying Marian and Omar as characters. At times, Marian seemed too brash to be enjoyable and Omar played to the "beta hero" role so much that I felt it was hard to like him as a male lead. Though I will admit they made a very good duo. And Marian had just enough forthrightness to get Omar out of his widower self-seclusion.

This was the first novel I've read within this series. And though I did not feel lost, I recommend it to those who are fans of Ms. North's more than anyone else. Yet, as it is a standalone novel, it is also for those who are wanting a steamy contemporary romance.

Marian is on a mission to prove her worth as more than an office assistant. When she is offered the opportunity to travel out of the county to be the smoothing factor in negotiations for the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) who is rude and insulting to everyone she jumps at the offer. She travels to Parsabad to meet with Sheikh Omar her contact in Parsabad, he will assist with the proposal to National Oil. This was a great read. Omar was intrigued by Marian but was still mourning the death of his wife to cancer. Marian and Omar had amazing chemistry and were likable characters. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

Passionate with lots of steamy scenes, “The Sheikh's Unruly Lover” is not for the faint of heart. The hero is deliciously handsome, and the heroine is sassy with a take-no-prisoner attitude. There are also enough tender moments to make you say, “uhh” and wish that Marian and Omar should get their acts together soon so that we can get to the good parts.

The Sheikh's Unruly Lover is Rated M for Mature due to sexual content.

Book 2 in the Almasi sheikhs series. Marian is sent overseas to work with Sheikh Omar Almasi. His past must be healed to open up their future. Good addition to this series.

Ebook from netgalley and publishers with thanks. opinions are entirely my own.

A fun romance with a corporate twist. The villain at the start of the story seemed a bit comical, but otherwise, the story was a decent read.

I love this author. Safe read as no cheating and a HEA.

This is the second book in the series but can easily be read as a standalone.It was really well written and a fantastic addition.A super read with great characters I just loved Omar and Marian together they had tons of chemistry and while I just loved them together I did like and respect the fact that he struggled with the idea he was somehow cheating on his deceased wife.A fantastic read I would recommend it.

They were only supposed to be colleagues. But, that didn’t last long when a single look from Marian changed how Omar felt. Finally starting a new life after his wife’s death he felt free to fall in love again. No longer living in the past he embraced everything he shared with Marian. She completed the part of him he lost. The missing part of him finally returned.

Fast paced, emotionally thrilling, intriguing romantic journey of healing and growth. Highly entertaining even though it is short enough to devour in a few hours.

Marian a sexy, sassy, head strong American executive assistant is sent by her company overseas to help finalize a merger. She is more than ready to prove why she should be taken seriously when she is asked to step into her bosses shoes and work closely with Sheikh Omar Almasi. He is strong willed and driven, and was opposed to this merger, business is his life since losing his wife to cancer. Roller-coaster of emotional ups and downs in this engaging story.

This book is absolutely sizzling with passion. The plot revolves around an ambitious American executive Marian and devastatingly good looking Sheikh Omar. As is always there in all of Leslie North's novels, the lust, the longing between the characters and the ego clashes are there in full glory. I could feel the attraction between the two characters from their first meet. The novel revolves around a company merger, towards which both the characters are working passionately. However, en route the merger some misunderstanding develops between the two and you have to read the novel to know the rest. As a fan of Leslie North and as a reader of all of her previous titles, I observed that this book lacks the depth of characters and relationship as compared to her previous novels. Yes, sex was there but something was missing. In the end everything seems very easily achievable. Regardless of the above observation I did enjoy the book.
Overall, this book is a good read and I recommend it to all the romance lovers. But I will also suggest this book only to the adult readers as there are a lot of pages in it that describe sexual content graphically. Now, Go forth and enjoy it!

A big thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. I have voluntarily reviewed this book. First time reading this author. This the second book in a trilogy. It reads as a stand alone with everything resolved. I liked the main character Marian. She appears strong and capable. Omar is a confused conflicted man. I was surprised at the language and the quick sex but overall I enjoyed the book. I give it a 3.5. It was a fast read.

Fantastic read I just couldn’t put book down I loved it great writing just great

Familiar and great storyline to daydream to during stessful times.

This was a good story. The characters weren't fantastic and they didn't grab me and bring me into the story, but the overall book was okay.

This was the second book in a family series, but also can be read as a stand alone. A nice romantic read with a HEA.

A good girlie read with a gorgeous sheikh who is every woman's dream.
Just got lost in the romance and dreamed.

I might recommend this book to my friends. But, certainly not my students. Not a suitable book for them.

I enjoyed this book, and liked the author's style of writing; however, I didn't feel it offered anything especially unique in the way of a storyline. I do enjoy books of this genre and would definitely read more books written by this author. (I was given a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review.)

This book was good. Marian was working for a company that sent her to another country to help Mr Thomas negotiate a deal with a technology company. However, Mr Thomas was nasty and insulted the other men and their women. He called it a joke, but negotiations were stopped. Mr Thomas was fired and Marian took over, working with Omar (a representative of the company). Omar's wife had died and he did not want to get involved again. So, of course, they developed feelings for each other.
Marian showed Omar that he could feel again and he fought it all the way. They had great chemistry and the story kept me quite involved. I couldn't put it down.
I got this book from NetGalley for an honest review
