All he needs is a society wife who will give him an heir and he’s completely prepared to marry a woman he doesn’t love or desire … or desire to secure his fifth-generation company’s future. Until he meets Diana Tinsley. She’s quirky and the kind of free spirit he’s looking to spend time with before he settles down. Using all his considerable charm, he convinces Diana to have a one-week fling, just a lark with no strings attached. But when Diana shows up at his door two months later, he realizes their “no-strings” affair will have long-term consequences: Diana is pregnant. Nothing could be more… perfect. He’ll get his heir, get his wife, and focus on his business. He just needs to get Diana to agree to a marriage of convenience.
Diana is reluctant about the marriage idea at first. She can’t imagine giving up her job as a nurse to become a society wife, but eventually her practical side wins out. Her child will have a secure future and she’ll be able continue her life as usual. She doesn’t count on her attraction to Tony—which was already fierce—growing even hotter. Worse, she thinks she might be falling in love, which was totally against their agreement. This marriage of convenience isn’t turning out to be as convenient as she’d thought it would. Just when she believes the two of them might have a real marriage, Tony brutally reminds her that love is not an option. But running away doesn’t seem a workable solution to her problems… or is it?

An enjoyable read, however the beginning of the story was a little drawn out. Once the story starts to unfold it is a very believable and entertaining storyline. The characters are well defined and provides just enough background information that’s highlights the makeup of the main characters. This aids into why they make the decisions that they do. I love how the heroine is no pushover and how she makes him work for her heart. The hero is charming, funny, and no use to strong, independent women. It is quite refreshing to see as the feelings develop between the two. True love does exist. Grab your favorite beverage and enjoy the endearing love story.

A typical fake to real marriage romance in most ways, but described in an entertaining way, with the twist of the fake bride being pregnant.
Admitting to their true feelings – even to themselves is the hardest hurdle, but of course there is the happy ending
Well-written and fun to read.

The Tycoon’s Convenient Bride is the final instalment in Leslie North’s European Tycoon trilogy and sees Anthony “Tony” Harrington V being pressured into a marriage to bear the long-awaited heir to his family fortune. Needing to escape his impending nuptials, Tony jets off to the tropical serenity of Fiji, hoping to find some semblance of peace before his life is turned upside down. But little does he know that an island fling will bring the heir he needs and the unwanted complication of feelings he long believed were only for romantic fools.
This third story is definitely my favourite of the series with the wonderful and complex relationship between Tony and Diana being front and centre. Chemistry is certainly not their problem but navigating the impact of their growing bond and the pain and uncertainty that comes from the consequences of their island tryst, will test their resolve and their commitment to each other.
Drama, angst, emotional turmoil, laughter, tears and some witty banter; this and so much more make this an amazing story and a fabulous finish to this enjoyable series.
Wonderful characters and story! I highly enjoy reading any of Leslie North’s books. Any book with a tycoon or a fairy tale happy ending is with reading.

When a marriage of convenience becomes anything but
The Tycoon’s Convenient Bride is the third book in the European Tycoon series and it is my favorite of them all. It is the story of Anthony Charles Harrington V, a billionaire who only has time for running his family company and is all business. But he needs an heir and has it in his mind that a marriage of convenience to a woman of society will be his best option. But before he figures out who his wife will be he ends up sowing the last of his wild seeds in more ways than one.
Diana Tinsley is a young woman who has a mind of her own, is spirited in more ways than one, goes with the flow but is also responsible, beautiful and very sexy. When she crosses paths with Tony their spark leads to a one week, no attachments fling. But his seed ends up getting planted in her garden and a couple of months later she needs to tell him about it, after all he does have a right to know.
What happens next is where the story gets interesting, emotional, heartbreaking and joyous. They end up getting married with Tony convincing her it will be a marriage of convenience and she can have her own life and raise their child where everything will be taken care of. But as anyone who has ever met a pregnant woman can tell when pregnancy hormones get flowing everything is thrown up in the air and this is what happens with her and Tony. She lets her heart get involved and he appears to do the same but then with a quick slap back, figuratively not literally, by Tony to her heart things get even more complicated.
The question is whether Tony will get out of his head and lead with his heart to ensure that Diana and their child do not disappear on him forever.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

This is good and pretty much has the same flow & style as the other two in this series however it is a bit more dramatic. I like Diana, her demeanor seemed to change and she seemed to become the inconvenient bride. 🙂 Anthony is a workaholic, too reserved and allowed his family to be way too controlling. Not my favorite in this series but it holds its own and is still an enjoyable read.

This is a great story that had me expecting a happy ever after fairytale for Diana & Tony with their baby until he made it clear that it was just in name only. He only wanted an heir & wife that there would never be love between them only Diana was already having feelings for him but at his mother’s instance he had to keep it professional as him going off the hospital appointments with Diana about the baby were impacting on his business so he that he was only there to provide for his child nothing else. Diana was heartbroken & having been told by the hospital she could be risking her babies life as she was getting so stressed she moved home to her mothers. It seemed like Tony only cared about his family’s business instead of the actual family he had created in which Diana was the only one to suffer. They both had upbringings where their parents lives was devoid of love so it seemed natural so should theirs. It was emotional & at times I had a few tears.

Diana is a volunteer nurse, traveling the world. Anthony “Tony” is the fifth of his name and he’s all about business.
They met in Fiji, a case of mistaken identity and it immediately turns into his last fling before he gets hitched in a society wedding.

But deals are made to be broken, right?
I really liked Diana.

The Tycoon’s Convenient Bride by Leslie North. This is Tony and Diana. It was funny how they met at the beach and had a hot fling. A few months later Diana shows up on his castle steps to let him know that she is pregnant just in time to stop him from marrying a woman he didn’t want. Now he has his heir and he wants a marriage of convenience/ But the falseness of the relationship quickly turns real. Both of them not sure how to handle a real relationship and not wanting to be tied down it was funny to read. But once they realize that they were in love is good . I love the setting and small town feel. I love their sense of adventure. It was a fun read. Felt like I right there on the beach.

The Nurse and the Tycoon. This story is the last of the Tycoons. This is about Tony and Nurse Diane. Tony is getting away in Fiji and comes across Nurse Diane, but the way they start off is not so conventional especially as they don’t know each other. Once Diane realized that he was not the lacky per say, she removed herself from the situation. Well Tony was intrigued with her from the get-go and was determined to have her. So, she made a deal with him a fling for the week and that was all. Of course, even when protected accidents do happen and in this case the day that Tony was going to be engaged to a woman for convenience, Diane shows up at his door stating that she is pregnant.
Tony had been thinking of her as well, but because of what he remembers of his father and grandfather, he has chosen to put his family first before love and he tells her that at the beginning. She agrees and decides to marry him as she is determined to continue with her dream after the baby is born. Time does a lot and when he realizes that he has lost her, his priorities change and hopes she will accept him back. I loved this story and loved that Gavin and Max helped him in their own way….

I totally enjoy every one of this author’s books! In this story, billionaire Anthony Charles Harrington V (“Tony”) and Diana Tinsley meet in a small town in the Fiji Islands. They agree to a no-strings hot one-week fling while they are there. But two months later, Diana arrives at his door with a little “situation”. She is pregnant.
Because Tony needs a society wife and an heir – and is quite willing to marry a woman he doesn’t love – this sounds perfect to him. They finally agree to have a marriage of convenience only so he has the heir he needs and can focus back on his business. For Diana, this arrangement works because it sets her child up with a secure future while letting her pursue her nursing career. But when attraction builds, can either of them let each other go?
This story line will keep the reader’s attention. The book is well-written, and the characters are likable – especially when they think they can actually control how they feel! Will they get a happy family life together? Or do they think they don’t need each other after all?
The Tycoon’s Convenient Bride by Leslie North is a lovely read. interesting and enjoyable. great storyline,interesting characters with great chemistry
. a romance story of Tony and Diana that will keep you entertained while reading,well done!
