Sheikh Amad has always gone with his gut, which is why his ventures abroad have multiplied his tribe’s wealth and business connections. But with his 30th birthday approaching—and with expectations that he be married by then—he’s got to go home soon…That means leaving his life in Las Vegas, and Vanessa, the sexy waitress he’s falling for, behind.Vanessa Hammerman has had to work for everything … everything she’s ever had, left by every man from her father on up. Sheikh Amad has been fun, but she’s not thinking of a long-term commitment with a Middle Eastern prince. She’d rather keep it fun…until the pregnancy test comes back positive. Now she’s out on the biggest limb of her life: Will this man run from her, too? Or will he be the one to stay?
It seems like fate when Vanessa tells Amad he’s going to be a father, and his marriage proposal is instantaneous. It’s the perfect solution for fulfilling his duty while at the same time satisfying his heart. But when he brings her home to his tribe, he realizes his independent, Western bride might not work so well in the traditional structure of the Middle East.
Vanessa has put everything on the line for this: her heart, her career, and her life. So when she refuses to fall in line with Amad’s expectations, they begin to doubt if they can make it work. But if they take the chance, love could become the biggest win of their lives.

Another great fairy tale from Leslie North.
The characters were so great and the chemistry between the two main characters was scorching hot.

I am glad that when Vanessa told Amad she was pregnant he was quick to be excited. I felt like Amad liked a lot of things about Western culture but could tell he was holding out on having women do different things than before. I liked that Vanessa wanted to be part of Calla’s clothing line and was able to help so much. I am glad in the end Amad came around and they were able to be together.

Leslie North does it again, she’s provided a funny, sassy, charming and sexy romance that is fantastic from beginning to end. It’s like going back to the old times with her sheikhs stories but ever better which I didn’t think possible as they were absolutely fantastic like this book. Just fantastic!! Happy reading everyone!!
Awwwwww
Men can be so pigheaded. Which makes it all the better when they finally snap out of it.
Amad and Vanessa may look like a fairy tale on the surface, even to themselves. Too bad their whirlwind wedding didnt reveal all their secrets. They had to deal with that later.
I absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend.
Happy reading!

These two are in for a whirlwind of change! He’s set in his ways thinking women have no place in business but he’s about to find out that’s not true at all…or risk losing his family completely. I loved this story!

Keeping secrets even if well intentioned is never a good thing. Amad may have the demeanor of a modern man, but his heart mind and soul were male dominated traditionalist. He just knew a woman knew her place. Vanessa working as a waitress was so much more. When they went to Amad’s country, his expectations and her’s weren’t aligned. They started on a work adventure that Amad wasn’t immediately aware consisted of expanding and changing roles. Vanessa, being American went about work with the committment, enthusiasm, passion and joy of doing what she loved for her family and adopted country. Do they clash? Do they have an East meets West conflict? Will Amad be able to adjust? Will Vanessa be able to give Amad time to catch up? Absolutely fun story! Vanessa was a BOSS! Well done!

Everyone’s always left her, he needs to get married.
Vanessa had a whirlwind fling with Amad. And she’s now pregnant. But men always leave her.
Amad is 29 and needs to get married.
When Vanessa drops her bombshell he proposes.
But the real trouble is Amad, who is a stereotypical male with chauvinist tendencies and he treats her as an inferior in work. Work that she’s doing to save the tribes funds.
I liked, but thought Amad needed to show his change and show true contrition.

This story has me glued to my chair,didn’t want to put it down. Beautifully written.
There is great storytelling in this book. The characters are great and have relatable characteristics. I like that there is a “honeymoon” phase and “reality hits” phase to Amad and Vanessa’s relationship. This book starts 3 months into their relationship, but it does not feel like you have missed something.

Sheikh Amad and Vanessa have been dating for 3 months. Amad knows he must soon return home because like his brother Sheikh Fatim he must marry before his 30th birthday. Vanessa finds out she is pregnant and is surprised Amad wants to get marry immediately. This is when she fines out Amad is a Sheikh. There’s no resisting the pull of their intense attraction to one another so they marry.. Although Vanessa is independent and Amad has problems with that. This is a great book , I enjoyed reading it.

Time is running out for Amad and Vanessa. When duty calls, love takes a backseat. Just as it seems all hope is lost fate has a surprise of it’s own. Will the Sheikh and the waitress, get a happy ending or will real life intrude on a hopeless fairytale? The Sheikh’s Instant Family has a bit more spice than Fatim and Calla’s romance, but no less heart. (4.5 stars)
This was a great story with interesting characters. The storyline is well developed and holds your attention. The characters well developed and realistic with great chemistry. The twists and turns are interesting I enjoyed how the couple figured this out and worked together.
The Sheik’s Instant Family by Leslie North. This is Amad and Vesessa’s story. Amad is about to turn 30 and and the law states he needs to be married. He has been dating Vanessa and they have a strong connection. When she tells him that she is pregnant with his baby. He sees it as a great opportunity. Kill two birds with one stone. He offers to marry her and takes her home. All he wants to do is lavish her with gifts and keep her in bed all day but Vanessa wants a life. She has ideas and gets in with Calle. I love that she is a strong woman and can handle Amad. He on the other hand thinks women should only be seen and not heard. Which he soon find outs that he will have to change his mind when Vanessa saves the day and the tribe’s money that he almost loses. Because he only works in the corporate world and not the world of fashion as Vanessa had. This was a fun read and I love watching Amad have to admit he was wrong. Love seeing the gender roles switch up.

Leslie North has added another story to the Amatbah family. Amad has spent a great deal of time in the United States, working as the financial/investment arm of the family and country. He meets Vanessa in a bar. They connect and have a great relationship when he is in town. When she tells him she is pregnant, he decides that marrying her will help with an old law on the books in his country that says he must be married by thirty. He can marry and have a family and things will go well. He doesn’t figure on Vanessa wanting to do more than lounge around their rooms all day, being waited on and pampered. Vanessa had worked in a high end boutique until she lost her job. When she realizes that her sister-in-law and the women of the country are developing a clothing line and hoping to use that as a source of the tribes income, she is intrigued. A way to put some of her knowledge to use. She suggests a line of maternity clothes. A chance meeting with the person who is in charge of buying for a large group of stores has her thinking she may be able to help. But Amad is very old-fashioned and thinks he should be in charge and Vanessa should sit back and look pretty. This does not sit well with Vanessa. When his brother, who is ruler, calls him on his attitude, he has to take time to rethink he position. Or he may lose his wife and child.
Can Amad and Vanessa work out their differences? Will Amad see that she is valuable and that she has business sense that can help the country?

Vanessa and Amad are having a great time while he’s in Las Vegas. When she gets pregnant, he has a simple solution – get married and go to his country. But he’s a “traditional” kind of guy, and she’s intent on proving that she’s not in this for his money. They run into her gold-digger mother in Dubai, just for some added drama. I loved this book – as usual, the characters are so perfect for each other. As soon as they figure out how to be honest with themselves and each other. This is a short-ish book – easy to read, but enough of a plot to hold my interest.

The Sheikh’s Instant Family, Safar Sheikhs Series Book Two. This is Sheikh Amad story. Amad loves his life in Las Vegas but his birthday is approaching and he needs to be married so when Vanessa tells him her secret he embarks on a journey he thought would be easy. Amad and Vanessa have hot chemistry and lots of passion, the problem is Amad believes In The old ways which goes against how his brother Fatim is evolving his country. Can Amad and Vanessa live HEA or will stubbornness get in the way. A very easy read that keeps you thinking about what and how the story is going to go next. Loved this one.
