Love

Although married for a while, Rafiq and Chloe have not had your traditional loving relationship. Now Rafiq needs to have an heir, and Chloe bargains with Rafiq to get to know him better while they try for their baby. And their wonderfully romantic story begins. I love this, a little cultural, a little romance, a little controversy and oh so much passion. This is enemies to lovers at it's best. Rafiq is the ultimate hero, with that cool exterior, and warm heart. He is a tough nut to crack, but has a real moral compass and sense of love. Chloe is selfless and loving. All we can do is root for these two to find their happiness, I fell in love with both of them. Meghan Kelly's narration of this had me from the start. She has a way of storytelling that brings out the characters true selves, and lets us really know them. I love her voices, and with this she had not only great male and female voices, but accents too!

The Sheikh’s Baby Bargain

In this book we see very strong characters and their stubbornness that can cause more pain then needed. They eventually learn that communication is they key to their finding happiness. I really enjoyed this book with its writing flow and the narration is a perfect blend.

Fairy tales do come true!

I asked to receive this Audible book and voluntarily wrote this unbiased review. This author is new to me and I love this story. When a prearranged marriage gets serious many untold secrets threaten to destroy this marriage. Rafiq is a strong leader that cares for the people in his life. Chloe comes to deeply love Rafiq and does what she thinks best for him. The author's development of these characters makes you fall in love with them. Meghan Kelly is a fantastic storyteller who immediately draws the listener into the story. She creates believable male and of course female voices. I find her narration a joy to listen to. This is a story I found extremely hard to put down. I highly recommend this Audible book.

Great book!

Well written, interesting plot & a happy ending (who doesn’t love those, right?) The performance was phenomenal! I love the way Meghan Kelly gives each character their own flair (accents and all). It gives listeners a better visual. Looking forward to book #2.

A fantastic listen

Book 1 in the series . This is a great listen . This story will have you glued till the end . Clare wrote a story that shows how life is in some parts of the world , duty over love , or does win as it should . Hero is Rafa. Heroine is Chloe. Rafa gets a wake up call , when he realizes that he needs a heir . His father is on his deathbed. Chloe has separated from Rafa but Rafa can’t wait . Chloe is still untouched and she’s scared . Rafa can’t wait so he gives her an ultimatum, either bare his heir or move on, let him free . Do Chloe make a choice. Grab it and see . Meghan Kelly performance I can’t find enough words to do justice . Meghan brings the characters to life . She pulls you into the story and it seems your right beside the 2 characters . Her voice range is the best .

...courageous romance that never wants to let go.

He needs an heir. She craves his love. Can a marriage built on rules and regulations survive the heartache of falling in love? For Rafiq and Chloe marriage does not a happy ending make. Caught in a trap of their own making, neither knows how to give in. When responsibility gives way to lust and lust blossoms into love, will the secrets they keep spell the end of everything they'd started to build? The Sheikh's Baby Bargain was never meant to be a fairytale. Connelly delves deep into the soul to create a not always beautiful, totally unpredictable and beyond unforgettable, second chance romance. Turbulent love and tainted hearts becomes a courageous romance that never wants to let go.

Loved the story of arranged marriage to a Sheik

Narration that Meghan Kelly gives is so fun and interesting. She gives life to all these characters. The way non communication and making assumptions in situations that involve love, well that is a recipe for disaster. Luckily happy endings do exist. Worth listening to by a long shot.

Duty Bound!

This story is very well written and will have you yelling at the chartacters (No, just tell him and it will all work out!) Even in story's that is not how it go's. The storyline had me intrigued from the beginning. It also had me biting my lip in anticipation. It's a very sweet story of love. The narrator does a fabulous job with the characters and the voices. She will suck you into the telling of the story and make you feel as though you are right their. She has a beautiful voice and does wonderful accents. I definitely recommend this book.

A Delight!

This was an absolute delight to listen to. I loved the story with all the angst, clever banter, and romance that was taking place between the two main characters whom I couldn't help but grow fond of. Both of them had their own problems and secrets which they tried to keep from each other and this caused further problems for them until they communicated about them. I also really enjoyed Meghan Kelly's narration. She always does such great voices and this definitely makes the audio version even more entertaining and a pleasure to listen to. Great teamwork, ladies! I requested and listened to the audiobook and my voluntary review above is unbiased

Unwanted marriage, will it have a happy ending?

This is a story of two people who get married due to obligations rather than love. From the beginning, neither one of them wanted this marriage, but as time progress they need to produce an heir, so they get to work on it. Moreover, even though they both afraid of love, while trying to get to know each other they despite themselves fell in love. The narrator did a great job with different voices and emotions. It was entertaining to listen to this book.
