This was a great story by a great author. I’ve read a number of her books and they don’t disappoint. I really liked both main characters as well as the plot. I recommend.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is book 3 in a series, but reads well as a stand alone. I enjoyed the book. It was short and cute, and the characters are likable. 3.5 stars

For Nina, finding herself pregnant was shocking enough. But discovering Matek is a prince is even worse. She thought he was just a security specialist and a distant cousin of her employer. Now, however, everyone is welcoming her into the royal family. There’s just one problem—Nina doesn’t want to be part of the royals. To her, their lives are suffocating and Matek’s obsession with security makes her feel like a prisoner. She longs for a normal, happy life with a man who adores her, and will give her the chance to create her own little family. Matek promises to be none of those things.

This is the third book in the series. It was easy to read as a stand alone book. I enjoyed the characters but I wish that we had a little more background on the characters. Maybe In the previous book? Either way a good read.

A fabulous novella that caught my attention and drew me in
Nina is a nanny in a royal household and she has been dating the Head of Security Matek, even though technically she shouldn’t be, and she is pregnant with his baby. There is however something that Matek hasn’t told her, he the second son to a king and a sheikh!
I loved Nina, she is a strong character who has worked all her life, even when she hadn’t needed to and it’s through the skills she learn as a nanny that she starts to build a relationship with the women of the palace. She thinks nothing of getting down and playing with the children and that endears her to me. She stands up for herself but is also willing to accept Mateks determination to keep her and the baby safe
Matek has felt like he has been rejected from his family for years and hates the thought of going home. I found him harder to warm to as I mostly saw him through Nina’s eyes as someone who is obsessive about security and who is determined, no matter the cost and restrictions, to keep her and those around him safe. Understanding him was difficult for me to start with but as the story developed I started to get him as a character and understand more about him
Their story is one of change and personal development which challenges what is important in a family unit, both their own and his family
I would recommend this book to those who enjoy books with strong characters and clashes of wills

Matek is the head of the family security but he is also a sheikh not that Nina knows that. She is currently his cousin's nanny and the two of them have a secret relationship. She ends up with a double surprise in that she's pregnant and he's a prince. One who is taking her home with him.

This is a really easy read like most of Leslie North's books. I will say that Matek made me want to punch him the face more than a few times. He was so hot and then cold it seemed although a lot of it has to do with his upbringing. Nina was the sweetest character and she tried so hard to fit in. She struggled but she didn't give up. She found her footing and made a place for herself.

This was an easy, simple read, perfect for someone looking for a lazy summer read or a satisfying romance with a twist of international carrying-ons and a dash of royalty in the mix as well. We meet Nina, an American Nanny working for Royalty in The Middle East, and Matek, a smoking Hot royal bodyguard with a few secrets under his sexy belt. One thing leadS to another with the two, and by the beginning of the book(as the title suggests) Nina is pregnant. The two have to cope with an unexpected pregnancy, a change of plans, learning about each other and their pasts, and a surprise pregnancy, as well as many other twists and turns.
A satisfying(but slow at times)read, that I would definitely suggest to any reader looking for the classic “love and a baby” type of romance, with the freshness of an overseas setting.

Leslie North consistently brings great characters and passionate romance to life. As a big fan North's, her name provokes an automatic one-click from me. I am always entertained.

Perfect read for the hot summer! North's description puts her reader right in the hot sands dreaming of their own fairytale, happy ending.

This a good, quick read and a good escape. I find that this author has similar plots and characters in her books, but it's a decent read although not unique or in-depth.

The Sheikh's Pregnant Nanny is another great book by Leslie North. I have become more and more of a fan of Leslie, Her books are very well written and so very captivating.

This is the third book of the Sheikhs of Hamari series. Nina, the nanny for the royal family of Hamari starts a relationship with Matek. He is a security specialist and Nina doesn't know he's part of the royal family at first. She has been dating Matek for a little while and finds out she is pregnant. The story takes us on a story of love, trust and commitment. I loved every page of this book.

We return for Mateks story. There is more to him than just a cousin and head of security. For months him and Nina have been dating in secret. Or so they thought, his contract is up and he’s ready for the next assignment however his usually planned out life is going to tailspin quickly.

Nina is pregnant and in love with Matek . She’s not sure what’s going to happen but engagements, traveling, and living in a whole new place wasn’t what she was expecting but can handle it all as long as she has Matek . When he starts to pull away she will have to find a way to pull him back if she wants happily ever after!

It was good and a quick read. Very enjoyable!

This was a quick read. A nanny has a relationship with a security expert only to find out he is also in line for the throne in his country.
She is unsure how to proceed, when he become very protective of her and the baby.

I enjoyed the characters. Thank you Netgalley for complimentary copy. Thoughts and opinions are my own!

Nina is a nanny working for the royal family. And she is dating Matek, the responsible of the royal security. Or at least, that's what she thinks. So, she get a double surprise. She is pregnant and Matek is a prince. A prince who is obsessed with Nina's security. And Nina is not happy about that.
You will have to read this book to know what happens. It is really easy to read. It will not be the best book you have ever read. But it will do for a summer afternoon.

Though I have loved all the Hamari Sheikh books, I struggled with Matek's story the most. It was him, as a character. His attitude toward everything. He's so professional. And Nina is so sweet and nurturing, as you would expect any nanny to be. At first, I was able to believe the sexual attraction between them, but as the book continued, I got very irritated with Matek. I wanted more for Nina.

That being said, I still loved The Sheikh's Pregnant Nanny. I watched Matek grow quite a bit in the course of this short book. It was definitely a needed change in him.

There are a couple things I would have liked to see happen at the end of the book, but the way Leslie North wrapped it up worked very nicely, as well. Definitely a book I recommend reading, for anyone who has a love of Sheikh romances!

Very pleasant read, but moves too smoothly [inadequate conflict] towards the HEA while at the same time the main protagonists are separated and living separate lives with little direct interaction. Each suffers from feeling overlooked and unloved by their wealthy families. Sometimes we all need reassurance.

THE SHEIKH'S PREGNANT NANNY by Leslie North. I did enjoy this tale about Nina and Matek, secret lovers that end up with a secret surprise. I liked to see the difference in Matek when he was around Nina. Nina was a strong and independent woman but also craved the feeling of love and belonging. Matek believed he didn't fit with his family. Can Nina help him see differently? Or is it true? I liked the pace of the story and that the "surprise" wasn't kept a secret from Matek. I would have liked a bit more drama, honestly. I felt the trying situation between Nina and Matek was resolved a bit quickly. I guess I'm a glutton because I wanted just a bit more angst. Not a bad read - it was quick and enjoyable. (received NetGalley Arc for honest review)

Since I haven’t read any of the previous books in the series, It did take me a while to connect with the main characters. However, I enjoyed this story as it was a nice engaging read.

The Sheikh’s Pregnant Nanny: Sheikhs of Hamari: Book 3, is an easy read and the perfect escape for a few hours. The main female protagonist is strong-willed and likeable, so you easily get drawn into the story. While it's part of a series it's perfectly good as a standalone read. Got a few hours to spare, then this book is a perfect escape.
