Dynasties: The Barones #9
Expecting the Sheikh's Baby
THE DEAL
Sheikh Ashraf ibn-Saalem's gorgeous face was unforgettable. But long-lost Barone cousin Karen Rawlins told herself she'd best not forget the terms of their marriage deal. They both wanted a child to love -- she without gaining a controlling man, he without losing his heart. It was simple: Make a baby and stay together -- platonically -- just long enough to give their child a name.
But nothing was simple after an Arabian night with this sexy sheikh. Even though Karen was now pregnant, she craved his kiss, yearned to share his bed. Was it only raging hormones or had Karen broken the golden rule of her in-name-only marriage -- had she fallen in love with her husband?

3 Stars.
Quite honestly, this was a little better than I thought it would be be, but mostly it was what I was expecting: a way to pass the time. People marrying one another and having a child who know nothing about each other sounds like a solid plan, huh?

I don't know what to say. Corny, ridiculous. Did Ash's dad ever get called. What about all the mystery and curse? Did Emily ever regain her memory? This series is becoming disjointed. What about the birth of their baby?

Αιχμάλωτη της Αγάπης - Kristi Gold , Bianca, 833
March 27, 2017
Chce dítě (ale jen jedno, ne houf) a chce ho hned, takže má jen tři dny na rozhodnutí, když dokonalý šejk přišel s nabídkou kvalitního sexu a prstenem. I když se znají asi tak půl hodiny. Je jí už 31, takže čekat další měsíc by už nezvládla. 
Navíc nepochybuje ani na chvíli, že až se bude chtít po porodu rozvést, nebude nic snadnějšího.
Otravná hrdinka, chatrný příběh.
Další překladatel harlekynek s fascinujícím jménem: Dahlia Whiteová.
s. 20 „To je nesmyl!“
s. 27 jinší
s. 125 nechla
uvozovky - s. 126
