This review is from: The Sultan's Bought Bride: Princess Brides (Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

Determined to save her older sister from another arranged marriage, Princess Nicolette Ducasse refuses to allow her widowed sister to go through the wedding to Sultan Malik Roman Nuri of Baraka. With a plan in mind, Nicolette travels to Baraka pretending to be her sister, with the idea that she'll go there, meet the King, and try to back out of the agreement, only to find that she only has two weeks to get ready for the wedding and the man she was supposed to marry was unlike any man she has ever met or been with. But things aren't as she expects.

Malik knows who Nic is when she walks off the ship, but it amuses him to let her play her game and see what she comes up with next. For each request she has, he has a counter request, with the end being the same -- she will marry him when the time comes and their marriage will be a real marriage -- not one just on paper. But will Nic go through with the marriage, and what happens when she finds out it was all a setup, that there never was a marriage agreement between her sister and Malik? Was that just a plan Malik devised to get her to come to him?

THE SULTAN'S BOUGHT BRIDE is a wickedly fun read! The chemistry between Nic and Malik is red-hot and scorching! Nic is an independent woman determined not to follow the rules of old, and Malik is determined to win her at all costs. I zipped through the book within two hours and can only hope that Ms. Porter won't keep her readers waiting long for the next book of this series. I enjoyed it immensely!

This review is from: The Sultan's Bought Bride: Princess Brides (Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a really great romance - Jane Porter does a great job again. It is great to see how the hot sheikh convinces her that he wants her for who she is - wild past and all. She is dumbfounded when she realizes that it was her he wanted all along - not her sister as she had been led to believe (and who she was impersonating!) - it was all a scheme cooked up because he knew it was the only way to get her there. There are some really cute scenes where he baits her by pretending to critisize her "sister" (really her) by talking about rumors and other personality traits and claiming to find them offensive and unacceptable. Very hot and very romantic - makes you want to be swept off to the desert by a handsome sheikh!

The first in the Princess Brides series. A Princess and a Sultan who you are led to believe their meeting is to protecct Nicky's older sister. Some twists, fun, pretense and a wonderful love story. I highly recommend it and encourage you to purchase the next in the series, The Greek's Royal Mistress", Chantel's story.
