Pregnant by the Sheikh (The Billionaires of Black Castle, 3)

From lavish wealth to uncontrollable passion, the compelling sheikh romances created by Olivia Gates are truly original in every way. With very spirited characters and an abundance of emotional issues, the stories by this very gifted author always take imagination to new heights. The Billionaires of Black Castle series has only gotten better with each release, and the third book drew me in and never let go until the very last word. PREGNANT BY THE SHEIKH is breathtakingly romantic.Even though she feels her future husband will never bring her joy, Princess Jenan Aal Ghamdi knows their upcoming marriage must take place for the sake of Zafrana. Since her father has not been a very good ruler, her homeland is in debt and wedding a neighboring king will help to save the country, even if she has to sacrifice her own happiness. During her extravagant engagement party, one guest immediately grabs the attention of Jenan. As a businesswoman, she certainly knows the reputation of Sheikh Numair Al Aswad as one of the founders of Black Castle Enterprises, but she never expected him to make such a personal proposal to her.When Numair came to the celebration, he wanted to make Jenan an offer so he could right a past wrong. But his thoughts for vengeance quickly turn to sexual fantasies when he actually meets her. He states that he will keep her from marrying the older king, but he does have one stipulation to which she must agree and that is to give him an heir. Jenan is at first shocked by what Numair is suggesting, but countless hours of pleasure with such a tempting man makes her consider his request.Oh, to be one of the heroines in a book by Olivia Gates! Yes, there would definitely be some anguish in the relationship and probably a heart-rending emotional challenge to overcome, but the reward of being with one of her heroes would make it all worthwhile in the end. The men Ms. Gates creates for her stories are often bigger than life in both their professional and private lives, and Numair is a certainly a prime example. What he went through when younger and the man he is today only made me love him more. He thinks himself toughened to any situation that arises, but being around Jenan has him reacting to her and not following his carefully thought-out plans. Her vibrant personality is infectious, causing Numair to be greatly affected from the moment they met. I enjoyed her intellect, and the conversations this couple had were especially fun at times when her quick wit was involved.How this couple interacts with each other is expressed with such thorough details. Whether they are having sex or just voicing a thought, the reason for their responses is always clear. Olivia Gates has such a way of portraying the lusty desire two individuals feel for each other, and the passion between Numair and Jenan is frequently off-the-scale yet still beautifully put into words. What they go through along the way to a blissful life together is overflowing with intense emotions which deeply touched my own feelings. PREGNANT BY THE SHEIKH is profoundly moving over and over again.

“Pregnant by the Sheikh”, the latest novel in Olivia Gates’ captivating “The Billionaires of Black Castle” series is a riveting word tapestry of sensuality and seduction. It is impossible not to get caught up in this enthralling story as Sheikh Numair Al Aswad (yes, he’s as hot as his name sounds!) rescues lovely Princess Jenan Aal Ghamdi from an arranged marriage. You’re certain to get caught up in Ms. Gates’ enigmatic hero (and sexy….I did mention sexy, right?) as he overcomes his dark past. Will the possibility of a future with Princess Jenan be threatened by his driving desire for revenge?

I don't say this often but this was one of the worst books I've ever read. The dialogue was over the top crazy talk. Even the inner dialogue was silly. There were moments when the heroine seemed strong but they fell through quickly the hero was an idiot. I cannot say enough that this book stunk. I really tried to to get past the opening stupid dialogue when they meet but it really only got worse from there. The arc was formulaic and did I mention how bad the dialogue was. The sex didn't even make up for it because it was not hot in any way. I have wasted a day of reading and my money. This author is on my never again list...

I usually love Olivia Gates. I have several of her other books. This one was a BIG disappointment to me. Most of this story is told through the thoughts of the main characters which was weird and unbelievably SLOW!!! I finished it through sheer determination but it took me a week to do so when I can normally get through a harlequin book in a day or 2 tops. There wasn't much interaction or dialogue to this story and it feel flat. It was so hard to get into this book. I wouldn't waste your money on this book. Try one of her other books which are MUCH better. I really don't know what was going on with this book but I didn't like it.

I liked this book, with all of the unanswered threads in this series, makes me want to read them all. This is the first one I've been read. I will the first two and I can't wait for the next one.

Read the series and enjoyed them all, this one was the topping on the cake

A very typical Olivia Gates book. And after reading more than a few of hers, I could almost tell what the next page is going to be about. But I like her stories for the way she brings out the chemistry between the leads. I am not a great fan of a guy laying down his very life at his lady love's feet literally and figuratively but the pages do sizzle with their passion.

Very good story! I have enjoyed all the books by Olivia Gates! They grab my interest & I have to find out how it ends! Can't wait to read the rest of the series

What a stunning piece of writing, I was sad when I came to the end of the book, because from the moment I started reading I was captivated. What a roller-coaster journey of emotions this book encapsulates. Powerfully written, its storyline is gripping, exciting and really has the reader gripped with suspense, excitement, sadness, joy and a whole gambit of raw emotion. Fantastic book I highly recommend it.

Another Olivia Gates original. Love the way emotions run deep, out of this world description of depth of feeling. Makes my imagination go wild!

This book had so much promise. The main Characters are great, the plot brilliant but finished far too abruptly. It is an ok read

Ive loved all the books in this series - and this one is no exception. Cant wait to see if more will be published.
