Blurb:
Matchmaker Cassandra is a pro at finding her clients that
perfect person—but unfortunately her talent doesn’t extend to her own
love life. She's too busy for romance, and she’s guarded her heart ever
since her parents’ nasty divorce. So a man like Nasir seems the perfect
choice for a casual fling—handsome, successful, and not interested in a
relationship. But things get complicated quickly when Cassandra realizes
not only that Nasir is her new client…but that she’s pregnant with his
child.
Nasir has always been a dutiful son. Like his brothers, he gives his all to the family business, which leaves little time for love. His mother, though, is eager for her sons to settle down. When she drags him to a matchmaker, Nasir can hardly believe that Cassandra is the woman hired to find him a wife. After the unforgettable night of passion they shared, Nasir isn’t sure how to react. But Cassandra seems determined to keep things professional, and before Nasir knows it, she’s arranged his first date.
Nasir is soon caught up in business and blind dates, and yet he can’t get Cassandra off his mind. Although Cassandra is convinced she’s not the woman he wants, Nasir has other ideas. But with a baby on the way and pressure mounting from Nasir’s mother, will her fear of repeating the past stand in the way of a perfect future?

This book is a sweet and nice read. I've read other books by the author before which is the reason why I took a chance on a book with a Sheik in its title. I must admit that I as a bit weary as I read some books by other authors with a Sheik as a romantic hero and ended up fuming and, well, let's just say that my e-reader survived, barely.
Knowing the author's other books. I couldn't imagine that this would be another one of those books where the modern heroine is deliriously happy to be kept in a harem and never be allowed to get out again - yay. Not.
This is definitely not the case in this book and I really enjoyed reading this sweet and charming story!
"The Sheikh's Pregnant Fling" is a strong woman who knows what she wants, it takes her some time to get there and to realize what is really important but she gets there. The mysterious Sheikh, on the other hand, is a charming modern man who respects her as a woman and as an equal. No bad clichées here, simply two people who fall in love, have to overcome some hurdles and finally get their HEA.
I was also very happy to find that it's not too long-drawn-out and hasn't too many dramatic scenes, just exactly the necessary amount of everything.
It is a simple and somewhat light read but definitely one that I will reread and that made me look for the first book in the series "The Sheikh’s Fake Fiancée".
★★★★
