One wild night of drinking led to Catelyn Wolf marrying Sheikh Rami in a lavish, beautiful ceremony. At least, that’s what the pictures show.Turns out Catelyn faked the whole wedding with some photoshopped pictures in a desperate attempt to give her fledgling wedding planning business, Elite Occasions, a chance at survival. The Hail Mary worked, and now they have their first client—with a … a multimillion-dollar wedding to boot. True, her besties, who are also her business partners, weren’t happy with the elaborate lie, but even they had to admit that it worked like a charm…that is until Sheikh Rami himself shows up, demanding to meet “his wife.”
Sheikh Rami has no time to find a suitable bride, not with his huge contract with a Texas oil company on the rocks. So when news of his “wedding” is uncovered by his brother, Catelyn’s “joke” turns into the answer to Rami’s prayers. Catelyn is good friends with the owner of the oil company—the perfect way to get an in with the company. All he needs is a big rock and an even bigger divorce clause to officially marry by his deadline. The fact that Catelyn is hot as sin only helps matters…
Catelyn, however, does not go gently down the aisle, and Rami is forced to threaten the business she and her friends have worked so hard to build. If she doesn’t marry him, he’ll out their biggest wedding as a lie and she’ll be ruined. But as their business-only relationship turns decidedly passionate, the two become entangled both in the bedroom as well as in business. In the end they’ll have to decide if the marriage that began as fake is actually fate.

Ms. North writes these delicious little snippets that I devour like candy. They are a quickie for a night after work or a Sunday afternoon. I think her sheikh books are her best books. You can lose yourself for a couple of hours and come away with a big smile. How can you not like a fake wedding turning into a real wedding. Fun!

Catelyn is a wedding planner with her own business that’s starting to slow down. When she goes to a party and accidentally bumps into Prince Remi who is a Sheikh of Al-Dashalid she can’t believe the attraction she feels. Then her mother comes up and spoils it. It’s now been three months and Remi is still thinking about Catelyn. Then his brother Issam shows him a blog with pictures on a website that shows he married Catelyn. That’s just the start of this funny, romantic and sexually charged read. It has a great happy ending and I really enjoyed reading it.

I loved this book it’s sweet and interesting. The storyline holds your attention from beginning to end. The characters are well developed and realistic with great chemistry. I voluntarily read a arc copy
I liked the story. It was a fast, fun story with good main characters. While the way they married was kind of unlikely, I knew that going in. So I just accepted it and just had fun with the story.
Rami was a bit awkward when it came to social gatherings and that was something I wasn’t expecting. But it did make him more interesting and showed how much he needed Catelyn as well. She was on top of her game when it came to dealing with people.
Yes, there is passion in this story between Rami and Catelyn even as they try to tip toe around the idea of a relationship end date.
The story wasn’t real deep but it did have a good emotional foundation and also had a pleasing H.E.A.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”
The second book in Leslie North’s Sheikhs of Al-Dashalid has everything I’ve come to expect from this talented author.
Rami is the serious and often difficult prince, or so we were led to believe from his brief appearance in book one. But beneath this stoic façade, is a man who wilts at the prospect of one on one negotiation and laying out a strategy for a multi million-dollar business plans. Catelyn is a self-motivated go-getter; having started her wedding planner business with her two college friends, she revels in the challenge of creating the perfect event; all she lacks is the clientele to keep her dream afloat. After one brief encounter, and an innocent blog post to help her ailing business, Rami and Catelyn forge a deal of their own and embark on a deception that will test the boundaries between business and pleasure.
Leslie North has quickly become a favourite author of mine, with her fluent writing style. Readers are eased into the story, but it doesn’t let you up for breath till the last page is turned. The plots are believable, the characters are charming and well developed, and the ebb and flow of the storyline is easy to follow and ticks all the boxes. I can’t wait for the next story in this, and many more series by this wonderful author.
This book like all of Leslie’s books was a wonderful and entertaining read.
There is amazing chemistry, drama, blackmail and very likable characters.
Twists and turns keep you guessing how this story will turn out which keep you turning the pages.
I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.

Really enjoyed this emotional, sexy, witty and engaging romantic adventure where a fake wedding may end up being so much more…. loved the passionate charters, fun situations and interesting supporting charters… was a great read!
Deception breeds seduction. Let the fireworks begin. Catelyn and Rami are strangers with an explosive chemistry. When a little white lie erupts into explosive consequences, an inconvenient truth could end up costing them their forever after. The Sheikh’s Blackmailed Bride brings on the steam and because it’s Leslie North never misses out on heart.
Rami and Catelyn are thrown together due to some late night drinking and working on her bridal consultant company website where she creates the perfect wedding scenario with her as the bride and Rami as the groom, thinking he will never see it. Rami does see it and realizes it could work to his advantage as he needs a wife. They decide to get together for a limited period of time upon where they would divorce except feelings begin to get in the way. What was once a marriage of convenience soon turns to one full of passion and though they’re both scared to admit it, love.
This is one of my favorite stories and yeah, I’ve said that before, but Rami and Catelyn are funny, cute, and I was rooting for them to get an HEA.
5 stars from me and I can’t wait to read Rami’s brothers stories as well.

This book had me cracking up at times. The situation that the characters are in yet fighting made me want to laugh. I loved it. I loved how the characters worked together and the chemistry that they had, but didn’t want was amazing to watch. I could not put this book down and had to finish it all in one night. I recommend this book…. and this sheik. 🙂

Catelyn and Sheikh Rami of Al-Dashalid, ran into each other at a party hosted by, Lydia, Catelyn’s former mentor. Rami was there to try and negotiate a deal with Lydia but things were not going too well so Rami decided to leave when he ran right into Catelyn. Catelyn was the owner of an elite wedding planning business in New Jersey. Catelyn’s business was having a hard time getting off the ground and she decided after having a few glasses of wine, to boost her business by posting on her website her wedding pictures to Rami. Catelyn photoshop’s a wedding picture of Rami looking lovingly at her on their wedding day. Catelyn figures, who will ever know, the Sheikh will never find out.
When Rami finds out that he is married to this lovely woman, a woman he has thought about since the day they met, he comes up with a plan save face with his family, to fulfill the country’s rule that a member of the ruling may must marry by the age of 30, and to use connections to get Lydia to go into business with the.
Rami shows up in New Jersey looking for his wife. Once he finds her he makes a deal with her, get married for real, this will help your business, and you will help me win over Lydia. They agree to marry and stay married for 1 year then divorce.
Will these two admit that they are right for each other before the year is up?
