Romance Historical

The beautiful and flighty woman he had his heart set on has rejected Harry Rayburn, and he wants nothing more to do with unpredictable women. But when he mistakenly gets kidnapped by lovely Leannah Wakefield he wants a life with her. When suspicion falls on their relationship, Harry and Leannah must stay true to each other to have a happy life together. Even if it means revealing past secrets neither wants to remember. Darcie Wilde's THE ACCIDENTAL ABDUCTION is a well -- crafted and alluring historical romance. Leannah is an intriguing and spirited heroine readers will enjoy. Both Harry and Leannah are vulnerable characters when they meet, and gain confidence through each other as they spend more time together. Harry is a worthy hero enduring consequences for past actions, and trying to make things right. Leannah and Harry are a perfect fit. Though there are villains in THE ACCIDENTAL ABDUCTION there are also normal people who just make poor choices. This helps humanize some characters and readers will empathize with the mistakes made. Wilde does a fantastic job describing the setting. The hotel in which Harry and Leannah stay is lavish and expensive, and Wilde brings this to life with popping imagery. THE ACCIDENAL ABDUCTION by Darcie Wilde is a romantic and wild ride, and readers will relish the story's journey.

SUMMARY

A headlong flight across London to stop an elopement leads to a hasty wedding between strangers....A sizzling new regency historical romance for fans of Sarah MacLean and Elizabeth Hoyt. Harold Rayburn is about to be taken for the ride of his life- After having his proposal rejected by a beautiful but flighty woman, Harry vows he is done with unpredictable and impetuous women for good. Until beautiful and fierce Leannah Wakefield barrels into his life, inadvertently kidnapping him while on a wild carriage ride and leaving him all too eager to get back in the saddle. Leannah would sacrifice everything to protect her family. So upon hearing of her sister’s intended elopement, she races across London to stop the ill-advised ceremony before it can happen. However, when her mad journey picks her up an unlikely stowaway, one who ignites her desire beyond all reason, she’s the one who ends up hastily wedding a handsome and secretive stranger. But as Leannah and Harry immediately encounter opposition, jealousy, and suspicion of their hurried nuptials, they begin to doubt that their unquenchable passion can truly lead to a happy marriage—especially when both the bride and groom have devastating secrets to hide.
