Indebted To The Sheikh

You Can't Turn Down a Sheikh #5

by Ana Sparks, Holly Rayner

An indecent proposal for a cherished heirloom,
A favor for a favor,
One night with him, to do whatever he asks…
What else can you give a prince who has everything?

Roving reporter Cassie Renault has bitten off more than she can chew. Summoned to Paris to settle her estranged father’s estate, she first meets a mysterious, gorgeous stranger. The two have a stolen, romantic night together, only for her to learn that he’s a longtime business rival of her father’s, and what’s more, he’s seizing her inheritance from under her!

It turns out Cassie’s father was in debt to the charming, but vengeful stranger, and she won’t even get to keep the one thing she really wanted, a treasured childhood book…

After a lewd suggestion by her gorgeous creditor’s business partner, Cassie comes up with a salacious plan: a trade, of sorts. Her body, for the book. It’s only after he agrees that she learns her soon-to-be lover is in fact a Middle Eastern prince!

Sucked into her own exotic romance, Cassie soon finds herself in stormy waters. Will the Sheikh expect her to fulfil the deal, or will their fledgling romance take off, even as maniacal billionaires, jealous suitors, and bitter business partners seek to keep them apart?

This is the fifth book in Holly Rayner and Ana Sparks’ You Can’t Turn Down a Sheikh series

Holly Rayner and Ana Sparks are authors I have read before and loved. However, this book is a disappointment. Cassie's character was meant to show strength of character in the fact that she was a serious reporter who had won awards. But instead her character made decisions that put her integrity and her job on the line. Then when everything came crashing down around her, she dealt with it in a way that put her honesty in question. When she was discussing it with her best friend Aisha, she did not want to take full responsibility for her actions. She wanted to blame the circumstances, the timing, anything other than herself. Salman should have been a stronger character. It seems he let his fascination and attraction to an unknown woman, Cassie, control him. It seemed his conscious was always in conflict with what his business does and what was right to do. He also went way out on a limb in dealing with Cassie. How do you rationalize a grown man in his thirties, falling in love, pursuing a woman he barely knows and asking her to live with him indefinitely? Then he proclaims his love to Cassie and she to him. I don't know. It was not really realistic to me. The only thing that made sense to me was the attachment Cassie had to her childhood book, the grief over her father and Salman's epiphany.

Love a good Sheikh romance!
This is my 2nd book by Holly and I love an author who writes in dual point of view. Cassie gets a call from her aunt that her estranged father passed away in Paris, and left her his estate. After the funeral, Cassie is paired with Salman, a complete stranger at a restaurant where they hit it off. But Cassie calls the night off with the promise of a date the next day. At the attorney’s office, Cassie is told her father’s entire estate will go to his debtors, even her treasured signed, 1st edition of “The Wizard of Oz.” Enter Salman, the new owner and any chance at something more between them goes down hill. Upon leaving the attorney’s office, Salman’s business advisor mentions a mutually beneficial trade to Salman that Cassie overhears. Cassie offers to finish their rendezvous if Salman will give back her book. Do Salman and Cassie stand a chance of building a relationship? Add in some outside drama with Cassie’s work and it definitely keeps you turning the pages hoping for a happily ever after.

If you've been reading the rest of the series then you will know that the quality of the writing and storyline is great with imaginative characters that are 3-dimensional and believable. Cassie has gone to Paris to fold up her deceased father's estate and shares a night of red hot passion with a handsome stranger. She then discovers that her father was in serious debt and she has nothing - not even her childhood book that she really wants. But then she finds out that Salman, the red hot lover, is her father's business rival and he owns everything. To get her book he offers her a deal - her body for the night to do with as he wills! Will Cassie accept? She has feelings for him and would like to know whether it could lead to more. But does he want more than one more night with her? He is, after all, an Eastern Prince. To find out you're going to have to do what I did and enjoy the read. No cheating and a entertaining read with plenty of passion!

This sheikh story is somewhat strange I found. The sheikh is not really one - only distant relation or something like that and nothing more is divulged in that direction. Besides that the story is quite ok. Somehow it still missed it´s mark with me. It is quite well written, there is nothing to say bad about that - it is just that some stories don´t really click with you and this one is one of those for me. But I still can´t find it in me to give it more than three stars, I can´t put a finger on it why- but there is just something about this story that I don´t feel right about. The story line is quite good, the editiing is good and I can´t say that I found any errors that troubled me or for that matter any at all! So this is clearly something with feelings and those cannot always be explained. But as always, it is much beter for you to judge by yourself than judging by my point of view.

When Cassie learns that her estranged father has passed away and has left her something so she goes to find out what it is. After his burial she goes out for dinner and rums into Salman and they have an instant connection. They make plans to meet up again and she goes back to where she's staying. She isn't completely surprised when the lawyer tells her that her father is in debt and Cassie wants is the book her mother read to her as a child. When she learns she isn't getting it she's upset but no more upset than when she learns Salman's part in her not getting what she wants. Can they work through their differences to be more than a fling?


This is a great story once I started it I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between them sparked with each turn of the page. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this to any book lover.

Pretty good book, with good characters. The only thing was that I was not really feeling the characters. I felt that I needed more scenes with Cassie and Salman. I say this because it probably had to do with the fact that they were technically in a long distance relationship. However, when they were together they had great chemistry.

Although, this book wasn't really it for me, I'm glad I discovered this author. I will definitely be giving her other books a try.

Cassie discovers that her estranged father has died, she travels to Paris to attend the funeral and to retrieve a much loved book. During her visit she meets Salman, the chemistry is immediately obvious, unfortunately she discovers he is involved in her fathers estate.

The chemistry between the two is very strong, and is quite clearly written throughout the book. There is a good side story as well, though I would have liked to have seen Salman more involved in the side story to make it more meaty.

I love Holly’s work and the sheikhs are my favorites. Cassie and Salman’s story is different from any I’ve read. She’s had so much bad luck in her life and the things that take place in the book just emphasizes it more. I’m just glad he has a soft soul and sees what’s happening from the beginning, even if he doesn’t act on it immediately. Can’t wait for more.

I love reading Sheikh romances are there generally is something so interesting and slightly forbidden about the whole romance. I find the best auther writing Sheikh romance ps is Holly Rayner and if you have not read any of her books you need to start. Her books are not only beautifully written but have such great characters and great chemistry.

A well written story with nice storyline and plot. I like it is written in dual POV which gives the reader more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. I would though have liked to hear more from Salmans POV. I am not sure what to mean about Cassie. She is a great reporter who has won awards but still she makes decisions she knows are wrong and behaved odly at times which made her seem weak.
The story could have had more depth to it but it is an enjoyable read.

I loved the plot and storyline,book has been beautifully written.
Hero- heroine 's chemistry is quite potent,although I didnot understand the behaviour of ex date. It seems quite evil and being a top shot investigative journalist,heroine was not able to handle him(????)

Waste of Time

I don’t expect literary brilliance when reading the Sheikh books, but this one was just awful. A ridiculous premise, a storyline that was not well thought out and coherent, unimportant sub-stories that were not relevant to the story and bad, stilted and at times non-sensical dialogue. Your time is better spent mopping your floor.

Indebted to the Sheikh

Not a bad story I have read better ones from Holly Rayners books. This was a bit different but still read able, nevertheless I enjoy this author very much and look forward to her next book. I felt Salman was a bit of a wimp.maybe that was just me

[Ife Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was very romantic, Salman and Cassie share common ground over the book The Hundred White Doves after their chance meeting, but there's more to Salman as he's linked to her father's debt. The interlude prior to the real romance gave the story some meat, especially their trip to Qia.

An enjoyable, overall light read.

I enjoyed this story. I like Cassie and Salman. Cassie is a reporter. There is some danger associated with her profession. They are attracted to each other. A copy of The Wizard of Oz comes between them. I like how each struggles with insecurities.

Good Storyline

Characters and storyline was good but it was lacking. Sure there were interesting parts but it could have been better. What happened with the gooey rain in Tao? What happened to Fire Cloud?
