Shared for the Sheikh: The Professor from Pittsburgh
When Professor Janice Johansen arrives in the Middle East to conduct research on shared marriages, she doesn't expect to get first-hand experience . . . certainly not with two powerful Sheikhs on the brink of war.
So is Jan just a pawn in some twisted game? Or is this for real? Only one way to find out . . . OMG!

This is a full-length standalone Annabelle Winters Sheikh Romance set in the Curves for Sheikhs world. You should expect drama, madness, and over-the-top steam. There's always a happy ending, but make no mistake: These books are darker and more intense than your average romance novel, and they are not for everyone.

I received a copy of this e-book from the author and am leaving my honest opinion.
Jan has flown to the Middle East to speak at a conference. She meets Sheikh Darius and there is quite an attraction between them. He knows she is researching multiple partner marriages and she would be just perfect for what he has in mind....
Darius is leader of a small Middle Eastern country. Ephraim is the leader of a small country that borders Darius'. Ephraim made an impulsive decision to open his borders for refugees, wanting a strong army. After 4 years, he knows he has a problem because his country is too small to house all these people plus his own. His only answer is to take over Darius' land...even if it means war?
Pride is a fierce companion to these men. Darius hopes that Jan can help him avoid war, by marrying them both and becoming their queen. This is very difficult though. something unheard of.
Can Jan save these two countries from going to war? Can she actually marry both these men?
I have read a couple of this author's Sheikh series and I do enjoy them. Her writing is very good, I feel like I know the characters well as she details them well in her writing.
The sex is pretty steamy and the men hot! Definitely Alpha's! It is quite difficult to figure out how their marriage will work without offending one or both of the men. She finds she does have to assert some control of her own with them.
I have to say, I am not into harem relationships and usually don't read them. I knew that Ms Winters would give me a good story so I read it anyway. I have to admit if she continued with the multiple partner/marriage genre, I probably wouldn't read them but I don't mind it once in awhile.
I think what really drew me though was how delicate the psyche is. You have two proud Alpha men and a woman who has no problem speaking her mind. She knew there were other issues with these two men so she had to step lightly around some issues and she was so good at presenting issues and not judging them, she supported them.
I look forward to more from this Author!

This story is about two neighboring Middle Eastern kingdoms, Sheikh Ephraim and Sheikh Darius with war on the horizon between them. Sheikh Darius is more level headed and has taken steps to keep any danger from his country and people. Sheikh Ephraim acts with less conventional ways in his kingdom and has put his country, people and Darius in danger from his decisions. These two sheikhs are very competitive and always have been. Ephraim enjoys pushing Darius and Darius is one to keep his cool along with seeing a unique way for them to save their people and country from war. When American Professor Jan Johansen is getting ready to give a presentation on the old ways of marriages Darius shows up and gives Jan some things to think about. Their story is one filled with some very interesting ways a modern day marriage can work with three people. There will be jealousy, political issues, danger, possible betrayal and some intense sexual scenes. I enjoyed the attraction and chemistry between the three. Will Darius’s solution to keep war from occurring work out or will others try and destroy what they are genuinely working towards? I have enjoyed every Sheikh story by Annabella and can not wait to read those I’ve missed!! I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

I received a free copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving a review. A real drama induced, mysterious, emotional and passionate story of two Sheikhs and one American woman. Jan was in Dubai speaking at a conference on what makes up a family, in marriage in the old ways. She meets Sheikh Darius who causes her confusion by what he was saying to her. Sheikh Darius speaks with Sheikh Ephraim for him to notice Jan. Let the games begin. Sheikh Darius and Sheikh Ephraim in public danced around threatening war between their two small countries. When Darius finds a crazy solution. The only problem is that he must get Jan and Ephraim to play along and agree with what he has in mind. The three of them need to work together to find a solution or it means there will be war. A nail biting story. Page after page of excitement. Lots of romance and passion. An excellent read.

First, 2.5 stars for the premise, the sheikhs and the writing (spelling, grammar,etc).
My biggest problem was with Jan. I didn't care for her character one way or another. She's always complaining, so I couldn't care less about what happened to her. Jan also throws the word rape around with abandon. She constantly says the sheikhs are going to rape and, sometimes, kill her. Let's be honest dear, these men didn't force you into a relationship. You did so willingly.
The book is over 200 pages, but it lacking in plot. It's mostly inner dialogue, then sex. Though it's a steamy read, it's a very slow read.
This is a story about two kingdoms on the brink of war, I was hoping for more action and conflict. Sadly, this was not the case. The author could've done much more with story.

This is a captivating, intriguing book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading each and every page. This book covers two sheikhs (Ephraim & Darius) who are on the brink of war when a female American professor (Jan Johansen) arrives to give a presentation on the old ways of marriage and from here the games begin. What you will find in this book is: drama, intrigue, some suspense, twists & turns, rivalry, competitiveness, danger, attractions, jealousy, politics, abduction, betrayal, treason, polygamy, lust, passion, love and erotic scenes. The story-line and plot is well thought out and written. The characters are well developed with personalities and have feelings of needs, lust and desires. I would recommend this book

“Shared for the Sheikh” is the first book I've read by Annabelle Winters and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sheikh Ephraim and Sheikh Darius are wealth Arab leaders to two adjacent countries. Jan is a beautiful American visiting Dubai for a conference. Sheikh Darius kidnaps Jan to help prevent a war between the Sheikh's countries and join the countries into one. This book has the elements of a truly captivating story, kidnapping, treason, danger, polygamy, jealousy, politics, crazy intense chemistry and romance. “Shared for the Sheikh” is definitely worth reading

A story of a nice length. Characters well described. Jan however annoys me really much. She is constantly complaining and working herself up. She has the terms rape and killing in her mind. She cannot understand that it is not the men but her that has issues.
I would have liked the story to have more "story" and not that much thoughts. It lacked depth.
Enjoyable read apart from that.

A brilliant translation of people trying to finding balance between loyalty/ obligations and a happy family life.
Not every scene is believable, but who needs that if you get to read a great story?
The thirty second dare was fun!

Politics, polygamy, peril, and passion are all blended into this steamy romance. The good storyline and fast paced plot is populated by engaging characters. A good read that is entertaining. I'm posting an honest, voluntary review after reading this book.

Almost dnf'd but it was whiney and wordy. The male characters were not likable. The fmc was given to too much introspection. I kept hoping it would get better.

I received a free copy of Shared for the Sheikh by Annabelle Winters and this review was given freely.
The complex steamy and sometimes violent story of Jan, Darius and Ephraim is a story of rivalry, sacrifice, selflessness, and a plot of two Sheikhs who use an American to join two kingdoms and reunite a family. Attraction, denial, jealousy, two alpha males, a quirky main female character, and an act of treason are just a few of plot twists that make this an interesting and gripping full length romance.

This was an interesting read. I have never read a taboo ménage book like this. Two Sheikhs from neighboring countries are at ends with each other. One sheikh comes up with the idea to both wed the same woman to unite the two countries. The second sheikh was very resistant to the idea and both sheiks were very jealous of each other’s relationship with the woman. I enjoyed the book! The love scenes were tasteful, but sexy! I recommend this book!

May 1, 2018A reverse harem possibility! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This is my 4th book by Annabelle in The Curves for Sheikhs series, so becoming one of my go to authors who writes in dual point of view. Professor Janice meets Sheikh Darius before giving a lecture at a conference. To say that Darius upsets Jan with his announcement of their future together is an understatement. When Sheikh Darius meets Sheikh Ephraim, he sets the seed in motion to get Ephraim to consider a new future between all three of them. Will Jan get on board with this outlandish scheme of Darius’? More importantly will Ephraim join the crew? You have to read to find out and will enjoy the story!
