Very cute. I really liked Poppy. Big fan of a smart lady.

A star was lost for two reasons… 1) the kidnapping was a little tooooo out there. I realize things are often unrealistic things in a romance, but I had a hard time buying into some of it. 2) the beginning was very repetitive. I get that he is a gentlemen and she is upset. It was said. A. Lot.

THE ENDING oh my god what an ending. I loved this book from top to bottom. Andrew deserved all her got and I am so happy for him.

I do not find kidnapping romantic. I do not find risking the reputation of a woman (in this era, risking her chances of marriage, family, and future) romantic. Accidental kidnap/having someone else kidnap the wrong person on your behalf could have worked in a romance for the forced-proximity element, but this version crosses the line for me into outright meanness in the way he handles the situation, even if his intentions were not malicious.
