Casamentos de Conveniência #3

Um Herdeiro para o Sheik

Rate this book
Um Sheik dominador.
Uma jovem inocente.
Uma paixão de incendiar o deserto.


Madeline

Você sabe o que é um tornado, um furacão ou qualquer outro fenômeno da natureza.
Já ouviu falar sobre sua força, poder de devastação e que também deve se proteger quando houver um aviso de que estão chegando.
Foi o que fiz ao ser contratada para ser a assistente do Sheik Kamal: mantive em mente que, independentemente de quão lindo ele é, eu não cairia de amores pelo homem que trocava de namorada à velocidade da luz.
Aquele era meu emprego dos sonhos e eu não poderia me dar ao luxo de perdê-lo por uma aventura de poucos dias.
Meus planos eram ótimos na teoria, mas no momento em que fiquei frente a frente com meu chefe, eu mal me lembrava do meu nome, quanto mais que deveria me proteger de seu poder de sedução.

Kamal

Tenho uma regra sobre relacionamentos e em hipótese alguma eu a quebro.
Um mês. Esse é o tempo máximo que passo com uma mulher.
Com Madeline, tudo já começou errado. Ela não era uma mulher qualquer, era minha assistente, o que nos obrigaria a conviver todos os dias.
Não haveria qualquer problema nisso, se ela não despertasse meu desejo de uma maneira que nenhuma outra já conseguiu.
Eu lutei contra nossa atração, mas finalmente cedi e a fiz minha.
Agora ela carrega uma parte de mim dentro de seu corpo e eu não vou mais deixá-la partir.
Entretanto, a decisão sai das minhas mãos quando ela desaparece.
O que Madeline não faz ideia, é que, não importa quanto tempo leve, eu a trarei de volta.

This is the first in a new series, and this is Kamal and Madeline’s story.
Sheikh Kamal is a powerful, ruthless, and protective billionaire CEO, and Madeline is hired to become his assistant. Madeline is determined to take control of her life, while Kamal cannot stay away from her, and she fights to resist him.
This is a well written story which has family dynamics, friendships, emotions, marriage of convenience, boss / employee, workplace romance, grumpy / sunshine, opposites attract, engaging characters, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, and unpredictable, addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

I just finished reading The Billionaire's Unplanned Wife and I couldn't put it down. I stayed up reading this until I finished it and I can't recommend it enough. I loved the dynamics of this book. The characters were phenomenal. I loved how they were from different worlds and how things evolved between them. The billionaire vibes are on point too. This is an incredible page turner and an addictive read. The writing is exceptional with words that flow effortlessly from one page to the next. Now I need the paperback after finishing this ebook. This is a must read. You won't be disappointed.


Thanks so much to the author and the author agency for an advance copy. My opinions are my own and freely expressed.

I really enjoyed this story.

I really liked that the MMC was not American!
Variety is the spice of life, right?

Ms. Lemoyne always draws me into her stories, and I'm always hard-pressed to put it down.
This one was no exception!

Wait until you meet Madeline and the Sheikh!

Fantastic characters.
Engaging plot!
Steam!

Everything I enjoy in my stories!

Ms. Lemoyne keeps me coming back for more!

The Billionaire’s Unplanned Wife by D.A. Lemoyne is a sensual, emotionally layered romance wrapped in intrigue, cultural tension, and undeniable chemistry.

Sheikh Kamal Hafeez Shariq Najiar Shadid is powerful, guarded, and constantly surrounded by danger, both political and personal. His life is ruled by tradition, duty, and the lingering shadow of his first fiancée’s tragic suicide. The ever-present bodyguards and unanswered questions create a steady undercurrent of suspense that keeps the story on edge.

Madeline, his American assistant, is intelligent, compassionate, and quietly carrying her own emotional scars. Coming from a completely different world, she must navigate not only her growing feelings for Kamal but also the expectations, customs, and traditions that come with loving a sheikh. The cultural divide between them adds depth and realism to their relationship, forcing both of them to compromise, learn, and grow.

From their very first meeting, an unforgettable coffee-spilling collision charged with embarrassment and instant heat, the chemistry between them is undeniable. Kamal can’t stay away from her, and Madeline, despite knowing the risks of crossing cultural and professional boundaries, can’t resist him.

Madeline’s strained relationship with her mother adds emotional weight, while her cousin Zoe, her best friend and confidante, is her anchor and safe place. One of the most heartwarming surprises is Kamal’s mother, an unexpectedly loving and protective mother-in-law who immediately takes Madeline under her wing, offering warmth and acceptance in a world that initially feels overwhelming.

Madeline isn’t flawless. When life becomes too heavy, her instinct is to run, to protect herself before she can be hurt.

The desert oasis setting is beautifully woven into the story, luxurious, secluded, and symbolic. It represents A sanctuar a place where two very different worlds collide and something real begins to grow.

This story delivers romance, suspense, cultural exploration, and emotional vulnerability in equal measure. If you enjoy sheikh romances, cross-cultural love stories, protective heroes, and rich, atmospheric settings, this book is a must-read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a great book, its all about the romance between Sheikh Kamal Hafeez Shariq Najjar Shadid, who is exactly as regal as his name suggests, and his newly hired assistant Madeline, who’s job description was to help the Sheikh navigate the social aspects of business instead of his direct and forthright behaviour coming off as rude. The chemistry between the pair was practically sizzling while they initially fight against their obvious and intense instant attraction, but when they finally succumb to the building sexual tension between them well, you can expect fireworks.

The characters in the book are all likeable, even the cold and somewhat distant Sheikh, who’s history allows you too see why he might need to close himself off from prospective partners. Although there was a clear and very stark power/cultural imbalance between the pair there wasn’t really a point in the book where it felt as though the barrier it created was absolute, I loved the way that Sheikh Kamal’s family welcomed Madeline into the fold helping her feel more cemented within the family and beyond them to the country at large.

Underneath the already interesting love story is a frisson of danger and mystery as Sheikh Kamal attempts to solve a years old mystery and to protect the woman he loves and the life she carries in her womb, ultimately revealing an unimaginable betrayal from somebody close to him. Will Sheikh Kamal uncover the truth from the past fast enough to protect the future? Will Madeline be able to stand strong in the face of such a huge change in her life and the expectations placed upon her? Will their obvious love for one another be enough to carry them through despite all the obstacles they face? I highly recommend that you read this book and find out for yourself.

This was such a sweet story. I really like how the author delved into topics that some will not. It is not easy being in or starting a relationship with someone who is either a different color or from a different country, religion, ect. I cannot say I have read too many books that explore those differences but also weave the love story in a way that showcases not matter what love will always win if you want it to. As someone who has been in a relationship for over 20 years with someone that is my opposite, this book reminds me that representation matters. There are more of us out their but not many authors will dive into that due to people causing a stink about anything that goes against the norm. I applaud this author for allowing readers to feel represented in her story. I really enjoyed reading Madeline and her Sheikh. Everytime she said "my Sheikh", I swooned. She did not have to say it but she loved and was so devoted to him that she could not help making sure he knew she respected him and his position not only in his world but also in her life. He is not known to have long term relationships due to his past. Once Madeline enters his life as his assistant there are things that he can no longer deny. He truly wants a good woman at his side but he does not know how to make that a reality. I love the push and pull between the characters. They are not only realistic but it gives depth to the story. If you have never read one of this authors stories, I highly recommend you give her a chance. I doubt you will regret it.

Kamil e Madeleine!!! Que história incrível

Ambos se conheceriam apenas devido a uma proposta de emprego, mas as coisas iriam mudar quando um furacão chegaria e ainda iria causar um acidente com café e ali mesmo Kamal saberia que ela não poderia trabalhar com ele, pois a queria.

O trabalho de assistente não daria certo, uma vez que ela teria que ser forte para não cair de amores pelo Sheik e resistir aos seus avanços. Uma vez que ela precisava do emprego mais do que tudo.

Kamal possui uma regra sobre relacionamentos, com apenas duração de um mês e apenas isso. Porém com sua beleza exótica as coisas já começariam diferentes. Ela não é mais uma e ainda assim seria obrigado a conviver todos os dias. Porém quem lançaria as regras não seria ele, mas ela. Mas não seria suficiente e agora as coisas mudaram.

Agora ela será a futura princesa, mas nada o preparou pelo que ainda há por vir, mal sabia que ela estaria em perigo e que o mal habitava em que ele mais confiava.

Ele não a quer apenas por carregar seu herdeiro, mas por tudo que lhe fez sentir em pouco tempo. Não importa o tempo que leve, ela o pertence.

Mais um livro incrível da autora. Cheio de altos e baixos, muitas emoções, dramas, assuntos delicados como relação parental e tentativas de mudarem o ramo da história

Ainda mais que matamos a saudade de alguns personagens que apareceram em alguns livros.

Já quero os próximos!!!

This is book one in the Vows of Convenience series, and after being introduced to the sheikh and Madeline in a previous series, I was so excited to finally get their story. From the beginning, this one pulled me in with romance, tension, and an undercurrent of suspense that kept the pages turning.

Madeline leaves the US behind, hoping to escape the fallout of her family’s scandal and start fresh somewhere no one knows her past. That fresh start comes in the form of a job offer she never expected, becoming the assistant to a sheikh who needs help navigating Western business culture and social expectations. What begins as a professional arrangement slowly shifts as they spend time together and their chemistry becomes impossible to ignore. When that connection turns into something deeper, they agree to just one weekend to get it out of their systems, convinced it will be enough.

Their chemistry is far too intense to burn out in a single weekend, and when the consequences of that decision become impossible to ignore, Kamal takes control and insists on marriage. I loved how unapologetic he was once he decided what he wanted and how the story leaned into commitment rather than hesitation. The mix of romance, suspense, and cultural exploration worked really well, and I especially appreciated how their different worlds were acknowledged and embraced instead of brushed aside.

If you are into a CEO falling for his assistant, an unplanned pregnancy, and a marriage of convenience layered with chemistry, emotion, and intrigue, this is one you will easily devour.

The Billionaire's Unplanned Wife is the first story in the Vows of Convenience series. It is an emotional story.

Sheikh Kamal is powerful and lives in danger. He lives a life of duty but is constantly reminded of his first fiance's death. He is protected by bodyguards. Madeline is his assistant who is from America. She has her own emotional issues. She has to learn to live in this different culture and traditions. The chemistry between Kamal and Madeline is instant. They are very drawn to each other.

I loved Kamal and Madeline's chemistry. I enjoyed seeing Madeline in a new culture and learning the traditions. Their story is emotional and filled with danger. I love how Kamal protected Madeline. This was a great way to start off a new series. I look forward to more from this talented author.

Thank you to the author for an advanced copy for an honest review.

The Billionaire’s Unplanned Wife genuinely surprised me. I wasn’t sure about it as first, and it took a minute to fully pull me in—but once it did, I was hooked. It turned out to be a solid, satisfying story with a compelling cross-cultural romance layered with suspense and betrayal.

The characters were likable and emotionally vulnerable, the chemistry delivered some very good spice, and the journey wrapped up with a well-earned HEA.

So glad I stuck with it an I’d definitely recommend the read. Looking forward to reading more D.A. Lemoyne in the future!

💜 Marriage of Convenience
🖤 Grumpy x Sunshine
💜 Billionaire

A sweet innocent woman who doesn't lower her head, and an arrogant but very protective man equals an epic story. This book had captivating characters, with some really amazing chemistry. This was a very delightful book from start to finish.
Thanks so much to the author and the author agency for an advance copy. These are my honest thoughts.

The Billionaire's Unplanned Wife By D.A. Lemoyne
This is the story of Madeline and Kamal

Madeline is hired to be the assistant to Sheikh Kamal. This is her dream job and she doesn't want anything to jeopardize it. Kamal is a very cold and closed off man until you find the reason he is that way. They are from totally different worlds.
This is a second chance, grumpy/sunshine, possessive and protective hero and HEA

The story had me hooked from the second chapter. Madeline's clumsiness is so relatable. I love the storyline especially her standing on her own two feet and not backing down. She is soft but not weak. This man was also everything you could want or need honest, smoking hot but also able to slow down and do whatever it takes to get what he wants. I devoured this book in one setting. Can't wait to read more from this author!- Tasha

The way this story pulls you in with characters from different worlds.

Sheikh Kamal is closed off a cold but once you find out about his history, you come to understand why this is. Maddie is his new assistant who was hired to help him with the social aspects of his job. The chemistry between them is insane! And the way these two fight their attraction has the tension jumping from the pages.
