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 impressive end
Diana, a nurse, and Tony, a billionaire, meet one night in Fiji and decide to have a fling for the duration that Tony is there. As the story progresses a strange wind blows in, the status quo is shaken up, and once the dust settles what they agreed to is entirely different from what they achieve. Leslie North’s The Tycoon’s Convenient Bride brings her European Tycoon series to an impressive end with a potential follow-up hinted at for 20 or so years in the future.

Tony Harrington V is all business including his views on marriage. With his upcoming 33rd birthday, he knows he need to find a society wife and have an heir before his 35th birthday. Going to Fiji for a 2 week vacation before he get serious about that, he meets the beautiful, captivating, and very independent woman, Diana! Sparks fly and they agree to a 1week fling, no commitments, no love, just a fun time. After their week, they part ways. Two month later, on the eve of his engagement party, she arrives on his doorstep. He is totally surprised, since he hasn’t been able to forget her. She blurts out, “I’m pregnant! He doesn’t love the woman he’s suppose to marry and decides since he has an heir on the way they should marry and it will be inname only because neither want marriage or love. Easier said then done, he starts to pull away and Diana isn’t happy with the way things are going. She wants her husband and when things get totally complicated she leaves and goes to her mother’s home. Tony has to re-evaluate his feelings if he wants to get Diana back into his life. Such a wonderful storyline and the characters are so realistic. I loved it and highly recommend this book.

Awwwww that ending!
Adeline was definitely my favorite of all the characters.
When we first met Tony in the 2 previous books, he was the joking and care free of the 3 friends. But things change when mommy says so.
When he met Diana, it was one last chance to be wild, before he was forced to be tame.
Good think fate had different plans.
Diana and Tony were clueless idiots for the majority of this book. But they snapped out of it at the perfect time.
I would recommend.
Happy reading!

Another awesome book by Ms North. Tony and Diana meet in a small town in the Fiji Islands. After a hot, hot one week fling they go their own way. Until two months later Diana shows up at his door pregnant. This is just what Tony is looking for. Marriage of convenience no-strings, he gets his heir and he can focus on his business. Tony doesn’t believe in love. Diana agrees to the marriage, her child with have a secure future and she will be able to return to her nursing career once the baby is born. Neither expect the attraction to continue to grow. Then the mother-in-law come into the picture. You need to read this book. I read it twice. 🙂

This is the third book in the European Tycoon series, can be read as a standalone story. It’s well-written with a wonderful interesting storyline, Tony and Diana meet in Fiji while he’s on Vacay and she’s a nurse doing aid work. Their first meeting was cute and their attraction was immediate. Their week together left Diana with a big little memory and she gets hold of Tony who takes advantage of the surprise pregnancy to suggest a marriage of convenience. All to soon the pretend fades and their feelings strengthen, can this couple overcome the drama and heartache to have a HEA?
This book starts off with Diana and Tony meeting in a Fijian Hotel bar and mistakes him for someone else. Once the mistake is rectified they start to enjoy each other’s company and one thing leads to another. A few months later, Tony gets a visit from Diana who has some rather important news, it just so happens that this news is just what will help Tony achieve his end aims. Interesting to see how Diana and Tony approach their relationship and how things develop, they go through various ups and downs before their HEA.

The Tycoon’s Convenient Bride by Leslie North. This story is part of the European Tycoon series and can be read as a standalone. I feel like this can be described as a second chance romance do to them hooking up at first and then not seeing each other again but their re-connection was shortly after so maybe not. When Diana shows up again, timing is great for Tony to have his plans come together. Now if he can only get Diana on board too, things will be smooth sailing. I found this story to be enjoyable and steamy, a good mix of drama, conflicts and struggles, and strong, passionate characters.

This here, now this is one really really really good romance. I could very well have used like three tissues during the time it took to read this story. It was just so heartfelt and I am such a wuss… But what an end to this trilogy of friends and their castles. I loved it and am seriously glad to give this story fantastic five stars.

I really enjoyed Tony and Diana’s romance. There is a lot of emotional turmoil, drama and tension as this couple’s meet-cute evolves into a fling that leads to a life changing surprise. I liked the chemistry between this couple and I thought that they made a good pairing that was easy to become invested in and root for.
Tony is coming to an end of his playtime. He now has to run the family business and beget an heir. He and Diana meet in Figi and decide on having a weeklong fling. Not everything stays in Figi. They decide on a fake marriage, heir begotten and he is neck deep in business. Sometimes you just can’t put a square peg in a round hole. She changes her priorities and leaves. He didn’t realize what he had until it was gone. Now it’s his turn to realign what’s important to him. Nicely written and an enjoyable, lightweight read.

This is the third book in the series and is another great read from Leslie I have enjoyed this series but will admit this took a little while to get into but once I had I really enjoyed it. I love a good marriage of convenience plot and this one was really well done. I liked both Tony and Diana and thought they were perfect for each other.
I had a hard time understanding the convenience part of the marriage to procure a heir from Tony’s side. He is only interested in having a heir and having a wife that adjust to his societal standards. Seems a bit backwards for me. I am glad Diana came in when she did however, because she threw his plans out the window and it showed him that love is possible while also still doing what you love.

Diana is a volunteer relief nurse serving in Fiji when she meets Tony and they share a mutually agreed upon fling for the remaining week he’s there.
They agree to a business arrangement marriage because Diana doesn’t want to fall in love or lose her independence, Tony is in a more serious relationship with his company, and there is a little Fiji placed bun in the oven.
Who are the worst people to insist on a marriage of convenience? People that keep denying their feelings and fight to make sure no one finds out.
I enjoyed the story but found the type of writing a little too formal for my taste – certainly more of a personal preference. There were a few events that transpired that were jumped over. Literary wise it was done very well, but romance-wise I felt a little cheated.

After spending a one week fling together Diana and Tony go their own separate ways as agreed from the beginning until she arrives at his door two months later pregnant. He convinces her to marry him as a convenience only, but she finds herself falling even harder for him. Their attraction is real and makes you want to hurry and finish the book.

The author has, again, given us characters that we can care about. Tony and Diana meet in Fiji and agree to a one week fling. Two months later, Diana appears on his doorstep in England to tell him she is pregnant. For Tony, it is an opportunity to fulfill his promise to his family and have Diana and his child in his life. It is too bad that they cannot be the same people they were in Fiji.

This is a well written book with strong characters in Anthony and Diana who have an instant attraction and hot chemistry. They have a week long fling which results in an unexpected surprise. The author does a great job developing their story and building the relationship from a marriage of convenience to a beautiful love once they admit their feelings to each other and can overcome their misunderstandings. She paints her scenes in vivid detail , bringing the story to life and moves it quickly and smoothly. I enjoyed reading their story.
