About this ebook

Love at first sight
Laura has never believed in the adage of love at first sight, though her friend is an absolute believer.  Yet when she meets a dashing, tall, dark and handsome man at a charity event, she falls head over heels.  She’s swept away with fabulous dates from a hot air balloon ride to a fantastic weekend away.  Could this be forever love?

Family first at all costs  
When Sheikh Taliq discovers his younger cousin is involved again with another gold digger, he makes plans to lure the woman away from his cousin, lavish her with attention–and trinkets–until she chooses him as a wealthy prospect.  Then he will repudiate her–showing his cousin her true colors.

Tangled web
To Taliq’s utter astonishment, his cousin announces his engagement to another women.  What of Laura?  Has he been totally mistaken about her?  Has he lost any chance with a woman he was growing to love?

The Cynical Sheikh by Barbara McMahon is book number one in the Ultimate Billionaires series. This is Laura Toliver and Sheikh (Tal) Taliq's story. Tal thinks that Laura is after his cousin just for his money. So, Tal misrepresents who he is so he can convince Laura to choose him over his cousin then he will drop her. Tal is doing this to protect his cousin. What if they really like one another? Has Tal made a mistake in his assumptions of Laura? I loved this book! Laura and Tal's characters were so much fun. I felt like they were my friends. This is a great start to a new series. A refreshing, fun, and entertaining romance! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Love it! Read it in one sitting! Loved this book.....think it is my favourite Barbara McMahon book so far! Tal and Laura are fantastic characters who take you through a roller-coaster of emotions. I found myself steaming in anger, laughing out loud, growling in frustration, melting with lust and crying with heartbreak, but at no point did I want to put this book down. I am looking forward to the rest of this series, hoping they all pack a punch like this one. I was sent an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
