REVIEW: Claimed for the Sheikh’s Shock Son by Carol Marinelli

Claimed for the Sheikh’s Shock Son by Carol Marinelli: Khalid is first and foremost a crown prince. He’s always aware of his duties, including watching over his younger siblings and the pressure to get married. He’s not looking forward to his to-be-arranged marriage as he’s enjoying playing the field. He may be sexy, generous, and charming, but he’s also very private, doesn’t show emotion, and never lets anyone get close.

Aubrey is a talented musician, but circumstances have forced her down another path. She’s loyal, caring, and generous. She’s a really hard worker, but it seems like she can never get ahead as she takes care of her mom. She doesn’t have a lot of time for friends or a love life, especially as she’s learned to be wary of men.

Khalid normally loves escaping to New York as a nice break from his royal duties, but this trip is quite different. Aubrey is nervous about her trip to New York, especially since it’s her first time there. Khalid is surprised by Aubrey’s impact on him and he goes out of his way to be kind to her. Both feel the attraction and one thing leads to another.

‘Are you marrying soon?’ Aubrey asked.
‘I don’t want to discuss that.’
‘Neither do I,’ Aubrey snarled, ‘but it happens to be relevant, Khalid.’

Despite his assumptions and her career as a dancer, Aubrey surprises him on every level. She’s curious, pushes and challenges him, and opens up his eyes to some things. Khalid brings out new feelings in her, and his impact lasts long after they go their separate ways. Getting pregnant is the last thing Aubrey expected and just might change things.

‘No.’ Aubrey held strong, more for Aayiz than herself. ‘You can do better.’
‘This is not a negotiation,’ Khalid said.
‘This conversation is over then.’
