Good book. Though this is the last in the six-book Stolen Baby subset of the Texas Cattleman's Club series, it can be read as a standalone. There was enough backstory given that I didn't feel lost, though I'm sure it would have been even better had I read the previous books before this one. I still want to read the others. The premise of the series is that a doctor is running a black market baby ring, and various members of the TCC get involved in stopping it. In this book, the doctor is on the run, and TCC member Darin Shakir has stepped up to find him and bring him to justice.
Darin is well known for his ability to track anyone under any circumstances, and equally well known for working alone. He isn't happy about being told that he has to work with an FBI agent and plans to do his best to avoid it. Thanks to a case of mistaken identity, he believes that bartender Fiona Powers is that agent. When his first encounter with the bad guy goes wrong, Darin is injured and ends up in her hands.
I loved the scene in the bar when Fiona and Darin first meet. There are sparks between them, but Darin tries to focus on his mission and believes that she is his FBI contact. When he's injured saving her, Fiona takes him back to her apartment and insists on caring for him. I loved the contest of wills between them, and Fiona's method of ensuring his cooperation. Both Fiona and Darin are stubborn when they believe they are right, and this trend continues throughout the book.
I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Fiona and Darin. Darin has been a loner since the deaths of his fiancée and unborn child in circumstances he blames himself for. He makes it clear that he doesn't do relationships and that anything that happens between them is short-term only. This makes it all that more unsettling for him when he can't stop thinking about her and experiences something closely resembling possessiveness and jealousy at several times during their search for the bad guy. Fiona has plans for her future, and they don't include a relationship. Over the next few days, as they worked together, I loved seeing Fiona's feisty attitude knock down the walls that Darin had put up around his heart. Fiona had believed that she could get through her time with Darin without losing her heart. The heat between them was intense, though there were several times when luck was against them doing anything about it. When they finally succeeded, the connection surprised them both. I ached for them both when it was time for Darin to leave. She knew how she felt, and that the pain of losing him would linger for a long time. It took Darin a bit longer to realize his feelings. I loved the scene at the airport when she shocked him with her goodbye words and his stunned reaction. It still took some good advice from his friends to get him moving in the right direction. I did like his big moment, and both the love and respect he showed for her. The epilogue was good too, bringing all the couples from the series together.
The mystery of the story was well done. Tracking and capturing the elusive kidnapper was not as easy as Darin thought it would be. That first encounter when Darin was injured gave a good idea of the challenges ahead of him. Because of his past, I understood his wish to work alone, and how hard it was to accept Fiona's help. For the reader, there was also the occasional peek into the viewpoint of the bad guy, adding an extra layer of intensity to the growing tension. The final confrontation was terrific, with some unexpected twists. I loved Fiona's strength of will and her part in taking down the bad guy. I could feel Darin's fear for her and his determination to save her. I was on the edge of my seat until it was all over. My only unresolved question was if they were able to find all the missing babies.

Fit for a Sheikh is my second favorite book in the Stolen Baby series.
I love Darin and Fiona! I was hooked from page one up to the last. The chemistry between them was off the charts! Scorching hot!
This book gave another meaning to dirty dancing! HOT. HOT. HOT. Plus, there are funny moments between them, sweet and witty banters.
I also liked the scene where Fiona tried to tend Darin's wound and realized that he doesn't like wearing anything under his pants. The guy preferred going commando!
I liked Fiona's character. She's no pushover. Vulnerable? Yes, but that doesn't mean she's weak. In fact, she's a kick-ass heroine. And I always loved Sheikh heroes. They always stand out from other men. Sheiks, for me, are always intriguing and compelling. Darin is one of my favorites.
If you love a kick-ass heroine and a strong alpha hero, then this book may be perfect for you.

This was just an ok read, for me. I was not invested in this couple as I was the other five from previous books. I was hoping the heroine would have been someone the other women/guys already knew from their town, not someone he meets in Vegas. I guess I just didn't feel the pull between these two and struggled, to finish.

I like the overarching plot of this series, and have read a couple of them. This one had a lot of antics, and a very fun hero and heroine. I especially liked Fiona.
I didn't see what was so sheikhy about the Sheikh however, and him being a sheikh didn't do anything for the story.

They finally got their man. I wish they would have given detail about each family in the their future. How many kids they had and what sex.
Did they find all the babies who were stolen and sold????! I was sorry to see the series end

Para ser el final de una saga que me tenía tan entretenida, me decepcionó un poco.

It was a slow start, but ultimately a very good story.
