  “Written in 1st person
  
  I was quite shocked to discover this Historical was written in the first person pov. I questioned if I would be able to connect with all the characters which I have had problems with in other 1st person pov's. However, I did not experience that issue with Kidnapped. Nicola is a master at creating a complete scene no matter what. I felt what the other characters were feeling even though I wasn't told. Now about the book itself.
  
  Catriona is alone in the world except for some family she has never seen or heard of before. Her welcome is less than cheering but she will not complain. She should have known it wouldn't be easy to liv e with her new family just by the "gentleman," the Earl of Strathconan, they sent to help her find her way to her new home. The man actually asked her to be his mistress on the way there. Oh he thought he was offering her a better life than she would have but she could never do that. Catriona gets kidnapped (which the title says will happen, lol) but so does the Earl. She is clever and finds a way to escape and rescue the Earl but it all comes to late. The ship they were being transported on becomes shippwrecked and it appears the only two survivors are them. They were lucky enough to wash up on the shore of a very tiny uninhabited island. They work together for survival, refusing to act on their mutual physical attraction. However, when they are finally rescued and it is clear that people will believe they were intimate, marriage seems the only answer to save her reputation. The question is, will marriage make either of them happy or will it take place at all?
  
  I really enjoyed watching Catriona grow up and face the world head on. Great read.
