Kidnapped for His Royal Duty by Jane Porter
5.0
Randall (Dal) Grant, the sixth Earl of Langston, is furious with his secretary Poppy Marr. Why? Because her guilty expression leads him to believe that she is the one behind his bride's disappearance from the altar, and what a spectacular disappearance it was (the bride's story is there in the second book of this duology, The Bride's Baby of Shame by Caitlin Crews). Just as he starts to question her, she is on the verge of a panic attack.
Sophie is Poppy's best friend, who has always had her back since school days. When Poppy sees that Sophie isn't happy with her upcoming wedding, she decides to send a letter to Renzo Crisanti, who comes and whisks away Sophie.
While on his father's side, Randall is the Earl; on his mother's side, he belongs to Mehkar, a desert country. Now, that was an interesting twist, which is somewhat evident from the blurb, and the book title, but still come as a nice surprise! Not giving out any spoilers here, it's a very interesting, and a very unique read.
Because of the problems she has, which Dal doesn't know about, he always describes her as weepy. He decides to seduce her, takes her to his special, secluded, place, to marry her, in order to keep his promises to his father. Randall has lost too many caring relations, too young in his life, which has hardened him. Not only by death, but by desertion too.
A book of many firsts, after Dal's mixed heritage, comes an early reveal in the story of Poppy's feelings for Dal, on his face! The way Dal opens up to Poppy about his feelings later, and the banter they share, is very endearing, and funny, to read. And their chats regarding Dal's future wife were hilarious.
It has a great epilogue ten years down the line.
