Two brothers. Two women who love them. One secret that threatens to destroy their family…

Soraya’s heart melts when she’s around Amir. She has never felt so attracted to any man. No matter how much she tries to fight it, she can’t resist Amir’s playful charms. And nobody had ever seen Amir care so much for a woman. Even his brother, Tariq, jokes that Amir, an infamous playboy, is falling head over heels in love.

Then there’s Sara… Her bond with Tariq strengthens every day. When he is near, she feels feverish, like she is on fire. Just his touch, or a whiff of his cologne, sets her heart racing. He may seem stubborn and intimating on the outside, but his tough exterior disappears around Sara and their child. With another Botros baby on the way, and a wedding on the horizon, their relationship has grown even more passionate.

But when the Botros matriarch invites the whole family to visit an exotic paradise in the heart of the desert, a woman from Amir’s past is waiting for them.

And she carries a secret that could tear the Botros family apart…

Genre:  Contemporary Romance

My Rating:  4.5

The Sheikh’s Secret Past is the third title in the Botros Brothers series and continues Amir’s and Soraya’s romantic journey with a secret twist from Amir’s past.  One he never knew about and believed that relationship to be over and done with years ago.  Unfortunately, the past is about to clash with the present as this couple shows family and one interloper that their relationship is solid and isn’t going anywhere.

So much of this story surrounds that “past secret”, so I’m very reluctant to go into details beyond being simply blown away by Soraya’s devotion, and Amir’s steadfastness in knowing he has the real deal with Soraya and will fight anyone who tries to get in the way of their future together.

We’ll get a few other surprises from Sara and Tariq as well.  And definitely a surprise for Malik! (which I loved).  I’ve completely enjoyed how the Botros Brothers series was written, each individually engaging, but also continuing each couple’s story as part of the next.  There is no wondering what happened next because we’re told… and I’m really enjoying that aspect of these relationships.

In all, I had a blast and one more story to be told before it’s all over.  If you like your romances steamy and emotional, then you’ll want to pick up this one soon.
