Sweet Romance in deed . . .

Yvonne seemed to have this sweet quiet crush on her boss Sheikh Zadid. Given the opportinuity she takes a step further and grabs at the opportunity to show him what an American Christmas is like. The fun of the season ice skating, snowball fights, snowman building, cozy fires, snow storm, and a delicious meal. All topped off with a wonderful night of romance. Or so Yvonne thougth.

I felt through most of the read that Zadid did not care at all of ther Yvonne. I was having symphathy pains for her.Then she finds that she has more to strive forward for than the love of a man that walked away. One expensive trip and return home makes Yvonne accept things in a different way but it does not take away her hope. This was a sweet holiday romance that had to get past the season to see the value of what they had.

Be careful what you wish for. Ever since her parents divorced and started new families Yvonne hasn’t really felt a part of either. She sees them and her half siblings periodically but she never has really felt a part of each new family. Her Christmas wish (wishing on three wishbones) is to have a family of her own. But beware of what you wish for because three wishes mean three babies from her one night with her boss. A boss who left to go back to his country right after Christmas. Now what does she do? His phone is disconnected and he now lives half way around the world. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review

A cute enough read while I was sick. Very little chemistry and almost no sexual tension made this fall a little flat in the romance department. Instead of spending so much time with Yvonne's family and friends, we should have gotten more of her falling in love.

It was okay, though. I skimmed through some of it, and I don't feel like I missed any story, but I don't regret the time I spent reading it. It was pretty cute, and it sparked my Christmas mood just in time for Halloween!

Zadid and Yvonne are a true fairy tale come together. Everything just works out perfectly in the end but there was some rocky roads to get over.

Yvonne's family made plans for the holiday and didn't include her so she is planning to spend it alone. At the office Christmas party she finds her boss alone in his office and invites him to her place for a traditional American Christmas. After getting home and doing things to prepare for Zadid to come over the next day her friend calls and asks her to come out she wants to celebrate getting engaged. Yvonne goes when she learns everyone is waiting outside her apartment. She ends up running into Zadid and they have a snow ball fight. The next day they cook dinner together and talks about how the holidays are usually spent with their families. After watching some movies they find out that its too bad for Zadid to leave so they plan to play some games and hang out however one thing leads to another and they sleep together. When Yvonne wakes he is gone and when she doesn't hear from him she starts to worry about what they had done. Then the first day back she hears him announcing that he is leaving the company and going back to his homeland. Yvonne is devastated and manages to push through until she realizes after months of stress from her new boss that she is pregnant. As if that's not bad enough its triplets and she still can't reach Zadid. What does Yvonne do? Does Zadid come back for his growing family? You'll need to read the book to find out.

I loved this story. I couldn't stop turning pages until I was at the end. The chemistry between these two is amazing. This is great Christmas love story makes me long for the holiday season.

I received a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

This book drew me in straight away and I couldn’t put it down, it had drama’s up’s and downs that made it more enjoyable and each character was well written. Yvonne Hunt works for ELA International and she has had the hots for the CEO Sheikh Zadid Al-Alamein right from the very beginning and so at there work party she invites him to her place on Christmas Day for a real American Christmas to which he agrees and it all went well until a snow storm trapped them in her apartment together and with some more drinks it turned out to be a fabulous night and one she has had many dreams about and as it turns out Zadid has had the same wishes and feelings for her. With no word from him at all throughout the rest of the Xmas break she is shocked on her first day back that he is leaving and going back home. Why? What happened she doesn’t know and when he speaks to her he doesn’t give her very much and now she is angry and sad that he is not the man she thought he was, now twelve weeks later the company is going down hill real fast and the owner John smalls knows nothing about running a business and that’s when she realizes that she pregnant. Yvonne must find Zadid and let him know but he will not take her calls so she goes to him only to find out he is engaged she is hurt and feels betrayed by him but doesn’t matter she will be a single mother. How does it all turn out get this book to find out.

Be careful what you wish for at Christmas

Note - I am reviewed the second edition of this book published in November, 2020.

The Sheikh's Christmas Triplets is the third book in the Christmas Treats series. This story is about Sheikh Zadid Al-Alamein and Yvonne. Sheikh Zadid is Yvonne's boss at ELA International, but when Christmas comes around and they will both be alone she invites him to spend it with her. While a snowstorm is raging outside things are heating up inside as Zadid has to stay overnight. Let's just say that not a lot of sleep is had and they both make a jump start onto Santa's naughty list for the next year. The next morning Zadid leaves and when the holidays are over he announces he is going to return to his country. A few weeks after he left Yvonne discovers she is pregnant. Okay she can do this. But when she discovers a while later that it is not one but three little bundles in her belly that she knows she needs help with. So she tries to reach Zadid but his phone has been disconnected. It will take a very determined woman to travel to his country, track him down and then demand to see him. Will it be a happy reunion?
This is a sweet and lovely story with a bit of drama, some nice chemistry and wonderful characters.

Wonderful love story.
Really liked Yvonne & Zadid's story it was so sweet & everything was going perfect on when they spent Christmas Day together. After being in love with Zahid her boss since they started working together when she found out he was going to be spending Christmas alone she was so happy when he accepted her offer to spend it with him. They had an amazing night but when he left the next morning & never contacted her again then finding out he was leaving the company & the country she was devastated but things only got worse. When she thought her life couldn't get any worse after flying to see Zahid to tell him about their babies what she found took her life spiraling down even more. I really thought Zahid was a wonderful man but I was really disappointed when he didn't go after Yvonne & hoped he would realise what a jerk he was & that he loved her as much a she did him do she could have a HEA she'd wished for with the wish bones from the 2 Christmas dinners she had with her mum & dad.

Gifts Of The Wishing Bone -
When I started reading this story, I thought it was just going to be an easy relaxed read, but then I started reading scenes where Zadid and Yvonne interacted outside the office. I felt like I was part of the story and I could actually feel the electric current zing between them. I was really despondent after the balcony scene, but I soon realised that everything will be alright, as Yvonne is strong and independent and she has Mackenzie and her family to support her. I was however happy to see that Zadid finally came to his senses and came back to Yvonne.

I loved reading this book so much that I finished reading it in a couple of hours. In my opinion, Holly Rayner proved how talented she is, when I actually felt like I was watching the scenes unfold in a movie, as I turned the pages. You will definitely want to download and read this mesmerising book.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and what a way to start the holiday season early with this release by Holly Rayner. She definitely knows how to bring the magic. Yvonne has been in love with her boss, Sheik Zadid, since the first time she laid eyes on him but nothing ever came of the attraction until she learned that he was going to be alone over the holidays. What is a woman to do but invite him over to experience an authentic Christmas with all the trimmings and what an amazing night indeed. The only problem is Yvonne is left with the gift that is going to keep on giving and Sheik Zadid is returning home to his native country. However this is the season for making wishes and that's exactly what Yvonne is able to do times three but will her wishes come true? Only one way to find out and that is one click this book.
I volunteered to read an arc for a review.

Loved this story. Yvonne worked for Zadid and when she found out he was going to be alone for Christmas, she invited him over. When a snowstorm hit, he stayed the night and they hit the bed. When she goes back to work after the holiday, she finds out he is leaving and it's over. She is heartbroken. Fastforward several months and she finds out she is pregnant with triplets!. When she tries to tell him, he brushes her off. From there, it gets very interesting. She meets a young designer of clothes, she finds out he is engaged, she finally tells her best friend what has happened, and has several surprises happen. I loved how the story was laid out and how it progressed. It made for a wonderful story and an HEA

This book brings us Sheikh Zadid and Yvonne. Yvonne works at ELA International along side the leadership of Sheikh Zadid Al-Alamein. Yvonne has a major crush on Zadid, though no one other than her best friend knows it. When neither of them have plans for Christmas day, she invites Zadid to have a traditional Christmas. They end up snowed in, and their chemistry finally wins. After they return to work, Zadid acts different, and then announces he is going back to his home to Abu Algar. A couple of months later, Yvonne is trying to contact him, but he really wants nothing to do with her. However, Yvonne is not giving up, so she flies to Abu Algar and confronts Zadid. However, things have changed and that shocks Yvonne. This is such a heartwarming Christmas story. I highly recommend it. I did receive an arc for an honest review.

Oh what a lovely story. It has everything. Handsome Sheikh, pretty girl, romance, Christmas cheer, friendships and so much more. Fancying your boss is one thing but to get a little Christmas bonus is something else. Well triple the bonus is more like and what's a girl to do. Well tell him for starters.
A fantastic read of Yvonne working for Prince Zadid and at the Christmas party he looks so alone. Inviting him for a meal over the festive period, they both get more than they ever bargained. Now that's when the fun starts. Well one problem, Zadid has a big secret.
Loved all the family relationships for Yvonne but glad she has her Prince and her babies.

Yvonne has been in love with her boss Zadid since the first day she started working with him. The night of the office Christmas party she finds him hiding in his office seeming depressed. She finds out he isn't going home, invites him to her apartment for a traditional Christmas dinner. Zadid has never Had an American Christmas since he usually goes home to Abu Algar. Yvonne plans on showing him why Christmas is such a magical holiday. She ends up getting more then she wished for!
I voluntarily received an ARC for an honest review. This was such a sweet Christmas read! It got me in the Christmas spirit, soo much that I ordered some Christmas presents online! Definitely a must read for the holiday season!

3.5 stars Very good contemporary billionaire/sheikh romance. Yvonne is the product of a failed marriage. She worked hard for her position and has always had a crush on the CEO of the company she works for, Zadid. Zadid is a sheikh who grew up in luxury yet wanted to make his own way in the world. He has worked hard and pulled the company together so it's stronger than ever. Yvonne realizes he's going to be alone for Christmas so she invites him to her house so she won't be alone. One thing leads to another and Yvonne gets her wish to be with Zadid. Unfortunately, within days he's leaving the US, going home to his country and leaving the company to flounder. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review.

This is a sweet story but I must say I was not very thrilled with Sheikh Zadid.. Yvonne has been in love with him, or at least attracted to him, since they started working together and one fateful or magical night at Christmas her wish comes true but then he leaves.
Yvonne is a strong female character who wants so badly to have a family, something she feels she lost when her parents divorced, remarried and had kids. I love the tradition of the wishbone being incorporated into the story line.
Zadid seems a bit aloof and even after spending time with Yvonne does not show her any of the feelings she has for him. Even at the confrontation in the palace I was not surprised by what he did.
I was given this book for an honest voluntary review.

Great Christmas Surprise

This was a sweet Christmas romance. Yvonne has had the biggest crush on her boss Zadid. When she finds that he’s never experienced an American Christmas, she invites him to share one with her. When a sudden snow storm strands him in her apartment overnight, one thing leads to another and they discover a mutual attraction that they act upon. Just when Yvonne thinks that maybe her crush might lead to something more, she returns to work to discover that Zadid is not only returning to his country, but that he’s sold off his interest in the company and not returning. An even bigger surprise awaits her when she discovers that she’s pregnant—with Zadid’s triplets!

Yvonne has been crazy about her boss Sheikh Zahid so when she finds out he will be alone for Christmas she invites him to her home for dinner. What starts out as dinner son turns into too much champagne and a overnight stay. As soon as the holiday is over she returns to work only to find out he is moving back to his country which breaks her heart but a few months later she finds out she is pregnant with triplets and tries to call and tell him but he hangs up on her so she decides to fly over to tell him. She tells him her news at his birthday celebration but also finds out he is engaged so she leaves wishing she never even told him. I wanted to love this book but it left me a little disappointed in the emotional side.

Zadid is Yvonne's boss at ELA International who she invites to spend christmas with her. While a snowstorm is raging outside things are heating up inside as Zadid has to stay overnight. One thing led to another and they ended up sharing bed. Unfortunately, after they get up close and personal during their time together, he returns to his country shortly after they return to work. A few weeks after he left Yvonne discovers she is pregnant. Will Yvonne and Zadid find their happily ever after? I loved this story. The chemistry between these two is amazing. This is a sweet and lovely story with a bit of drama and wonderful characters.

A well written story. Quick enjoyable and easy read. Nice story line and plot. A Christmas romance turns out to be much more. Yvonne has a crush on Zadid but he leaves her and moves home to his own country. When she realises she is pregnant - with triplets - she tries to get a hold of him but she does not succeed. What to do then? No spoilers here.
There is lots of chemistry, passion, lust, drama, hot scenes, emotions, twists and intrigues in this story. The characters are well described and developed. I would have liked that the story had been written in dual POV.

Good Read!

A good story The Sheikh's Christmas Triplets, is all about Yvonne Hunt a young women in her twenties who has a crush on her boss Sheikh Zadid Al-Alamein. He's a partner in ELA International a financial Planning firm and Yvonne is his Administrative Assistant or his right hand women. They work very close together on major deals and she works very closely with the Office Manager McKenzie a very good friend of hers. The author wrote a story about two work alcoholics, that are constantly putting off life to get the deal done! Read the story and see what happens to Yvonne & Sheikh Zadid's problem. It was a nice Christmas read!

I cannot express how much I loved this story. By the end of it, I had a pile of tissues next to me from the tears I shared with the main female character. It made me smile, it made me cry, and made me happy by the end. It was such a sweet holiday story that I just couldn’t put it down. I really felt what the main female character was feeling and her joy brought me joy. The plot was fantastic.

I give this five out of five stars. Any story that has me going through the emotions with the main character is definitely a win for me. Total love and enjoyment. Would read again and again.

This story has so many twists and turns I thought I was on a carnival ride. Well written with a good storyline and great characters. Holly Rayner has done a great job with this book. Yvonne never imagined that when she invited her boss for Christmas dinner that she'd end up having a one night stand and nine months later - triplets. Wow, what's a girl to do when he not only sold his shares in the company but went back to his homeland and fiance. No spoiler, but this is a good book that I know you will enjoy. I received an arc copy and voluntarily chose to review it.

An OK book, but as with the others in the series, I wish the author had put the epilogue at the end of the main book instead of forcing the reader to sign up for her newsletter in order to be able to read the epilogue.

Yvonne is not close to her family, and find herself being alone on Christmas. When she realizes her boss, Zadid, has no one to spend the day with, she invites him over. On Christmas they are snowed in and one thing leads to another and presents are exchanged.

Back at work, the atmosphere has cooled and changes are happening, Zadid has left the company, is moving back home, cutting all contact. This would not be to bad except what he left Yvonne with.

This was a good story to read.

After having a crush on her boss, Yvonne offers to celebrate Christmas with him. After a magical day together, she worries about her job, but he drops an even bigger bomb. When she discovers a secret, will she tell him? Will he choose her or to stay away?

This was a cute and sweet story. I love the fact that Yvonne went after him to make sure that he knew and was able to choose. I definitely didn't like her replacement boss! Great book and will definitely be adding this author to my list!

A beautiful story filled with passion, excitement, forbidden encounters and so much more. Sheikh Zdid is Yvonne's boss but she would like so much more. What will happen when they take their feelings one step too many? What will happen when she finds out the gift she gets from their encounter is triplets? I can tell you that secrets will be spilled. Well written and just a sweet story to read. I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader's Copy of this book.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book...

This story had so much potential; however, it feel flat really hard. The plot was unbelievably unrealistic. There was no chemistry between the characters at all. I can't really comment much on it because I don't want to give out any spoilers. The Sheikh wasn't an honest man at all. He treated Yvonne like a door mat. Plus what was the deal with Shane - the guy her friend Mack tried to set her up with...He deserved a punch in the face!
