5.0 out of 5 stars The Desert Prince and His Innocent Bride
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018

I enjoy a story involving a marriage of convenience and Jane Porter has written a perfect gem. I loved the passionate romance between Dal, the desert Prince, and his sweet, innocent English secretary, Poppy. They seem to want different things. She dreams of a life with a man who loves and desires only her. While Dal wants to marry her so that he can possess and spoil her, but still keep his deepest emotions to himself. Can they overcome the problems that keep them from finding true love? I loved the fiery, chemistry between these two. I wanted them let down their barriers and open their hearts. Dal has so much love to give. I hoped he could overcome his father's cruel treatment and trust his heart. I loved the characters, their passionate dialogue and the exotic setting. Jane Porter made me believe that love can conquer all problems. When I finished reading Kidnapped For His Royal Duty, I was smiling and felt contented. Who could ask for more!

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2018
Sweet Poppy, I think her subconscious knew way before her heart did.
And Dal, he was a man, yes he was royalty but first and foremost he was a man, but he did everything he could to fulfill his legacy.
Both Poppy and Dal had me from the first and their chemistry made this a decadent start to the series.
If there is an award for best epilogue I would like to nominate this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poppy has secretly loved her boss--the man
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2018
Verified Purchase
Left at the altar on his wedding day, the Earl of Langston, Randall "Dal" Grant flees England to the Kingdom of Mehkar with his secretary Poppy in tow. He needs to be married by his thirty-fifth birthday to inherit the rest of the entailed estate, and he's running out of time.

Poppy has secretly loved her boss--the man, not his title--for years. Dal's solution--marry Poppy! She will only marry for love, mutual love, and refuses, even after learning Dal is also Tal, a prince of the kingdom. Poppy tries to break through the heart of Dal, but he's not a man of emotion.

With the deadline looming, Poppy concedes to marriage, even if love is one-sided. As his wife, she's feels like a woman with no place--no job, nothing to keep her busy, unappreciated--and demands to leave. Tal must find a way to keep his wife and prove his love before it's too late! Loved the story and highly recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars First in a Harlequin Presents Duet
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2018
Harlequin Presents are about the alpha male, glamour and jet-setting locales, etc. As a Presents, this one does meet those requirements. Dal is an English aristocrat who is also a desert Prince, and he is pure alpha-male. His desert kingdom is definitely exotic and his wealthy lifestyle and powerful position, are everything you expect. Thus the setting held me and I hoped for more. Poppy is the heroine and she is why I can't give this more than 3 stars. She is teary and whiny for at least the first half of the book and I could not find any way to be sympathetic or to cheer for her. Luckily she grows a backbone and stands up for herself eventually but for me, by then my lasting impression of her was cast. The other positive is the set up for the other half of this duets, which will be by Caitlin Crews and comes out summer 2018. Those two characters both sound interesting, so perhaps after I read the 2nd half of this duets, I will think differently about this first half.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great quick read
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2018

Not my usual genre of romance but Jane Porter is one of my favorite authors so I decided to read it. Dal Grant was left at the altar after a years long engagement of convenience. His secretary Poppy (best friend of the runaway bride) knows more than she will admit. But Dal isn't heartbroken he just needs a replacement bride and fast - he has to be married by his 35th birthday to inherit his English title and land.
He takes Poppy to his mother's family's palace in Mekhar under the guise of searching for a replacement bride and getting away from all the negative attention of the cancelled wedding. But what he really wants is her as the replacement bride. Will she follow his wishes or hold out for true love? A beautiful setting and well told story!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Quick Read
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2018
A fun, quick read. It was fun to see Dal’s attitude toward Poppy change as the story unfolded. It was also interesting to see how Poppy’s crush on Dal changed as she learned more about him and really got to know him and not her perception of him. I can always rely on Jane Porter for fun characters and an interesting story.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love the steamy passion
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018
As the sixth Earl of Langston, it’s Randall (Dal) Grant’s obligation to have a bride. When his fiancée was stolen while walking down the aisle, he’s forced to take matters into his own hands in order to immediately replace her. He decides to kidnap his shy secretary, Poppy Marr, and returns to Mehkar. His return has caused people to assume that he has come to step up as heir to the throne. Although Poppy has had feelings for her boss, will she accept the role as queen of Mekhar and wife to Randall?

I love the steamy passion, sexy alphas and strong heroines that Harlequin Presents represents and this one definitely lived up to my expectations. The epilogue was perfect and makes me anxious to read the next in the series and see how Caitlin Crews’s story of Sophie plays out.
