Book 3 of 3: The Blooming Desert Series

Annalise “Lise” Danbury spent a wonderful, whirlwind two weeks with Bahir Al-Masri, a gorgeous and sexy man she met at the London university where she teaches languages. Then he went home, with only an “it’s been fun.” But he left more than just an angry woman behind—he left her pregnant. Traveling on business to Qasha two years later, she sees Bahir again. Only “Bahir” is really billionaire sheikh Raed Al-Qasha. And he’s just as stunned to find out he’s a father. Making matters worse, Lise is finding it impossible to ignore their attraction, even though she’s still steaming mad.

Raed never forgot Lise and his guilt at leaving her nagged him long after he returned home. But he pushed thoughts of her away, knowing nothing could ever come of their relationship. If he married, it would be for strategic reasons, someone who could help him build his philanthropic foundation on an international scale. Which is why seeing Lise again has him torn. Having an old fling and an illegitimate child around might create a scandal that could destroy his efforts, yet he can’t deny the attraction they still have. Thinking to keep Lise and his secret son out of the spotlight, he requests they live in the royal palace and lures her by saying she can use his staff in her language-teaching pilot. Big mistake. It isn’t long before the two give in to their desire, complicating all his plans. Lise is nothing like the woman he envisioned marrying. But she just might be the woman he needs…

USA Today Bestseller Leslie North invites you to indulge in a sexy sheikh romance with a smoldering billionaire, alpha male Sheikh falling for his head-strong American woman in this interracial romance...

Leslie North is the USA Today Bestselling pen name for a critically-acclaimed author of women's contemporary romance and fiction. The anonymity gives her the perfect opportunity to paint with her full artistic palette, especially in the romance and erotic fantasy genres.

The truth of the matter is she loves her fictional persona, Leslie North, more than her normal, day-to-day persona! Her bestselling books focus on strong characters and particularly women who aren't afraid to challenge an alpha male. Inspired after years of travel, her stories are set all over the world, from the tough streets of Russia to the beautiful beaches of the middle east.

Leslie fell in love with romance when she first picked up a scrappy, dog-eared romance book from her local library. She began writing soon after and the rest, as they say, was history. She now lives in a cozy cottage on the British coast and enjoys taking long walks with her two Dalmatians, George and Fergie.

Great Series loved it

I've really enjoyed this series. Each book just seemed to get better. I loved Lise and Raed's story. These two were meant for each other although it took them awhile to figure it out. I loved catching up with the characters from previous books.

An emotional crash course

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020

Lise, an English language instructor, is surprised when Raed, prince of Qasha, turns out to be Bahir, a former student and father of her child. As the story progresses Lise is not the only one surprised, a collaboration seems possible, and if their goals can’t align then neither can their future. Leslie North’’s final book in her Blooming Desert series is an emotional crash course on what is important in life and how to achieve your goals when plans change.

I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription and I received a free copy of the book from the author via Booksprout. I had the opportunity to review or not.

Selfish, narrow-minded, misogynist.

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2020

The Sheikh’s Unexpected Son is the third and final story in Leslie North’s The Blooming Desert and my least favourite of the series. While Raed never forgot Annalise, he easily pushed thoughts of her out of his mind and to focus on a strategic partnering sometime in the future. When they meet again and he is confronted with the reality of their short-lived relationship years before; his lies, manipulation and expectations that Lise will willingly curtail to his deception is both selfish and unwarranted. I really liked Lise and Jake and thought they deserved to be treated with care and respect and that Lise should have given Raed the flick and moved on with her life.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

An emotional and fitting end to this trilogy of brothers and a cousin. The Sheikhs are always so formal which stands to reason as part of their upbringing. The women are strong sassy and beautiful.

Great Storyline, Fantastic Characters

Well you can't really tell by the story that they're in the desert. I didn't like the fact that she allowed to be kept a dirty little secret. While he was planning his future with someone else.

No matter how things begin within same time frame, loves the bigger picture to focus on what you want to do about the future as a whole.
