Plucky half-American heroine, Kitty, kidnaps the new Lord Haverville, Red Jack Rayne, tortured war hero. She thinks he is the nasty, old Lord Haverville, that compromised and married her friend& cousin Jessica and left her alone for the last six years. Her goal was to convince him to give Jess an annulment, so Jess can marry her love, Lord Sturbridge. Lord Sturbridge has been pretending to court Kitty so he can spend time with Jess, since Jess is married. Of course, the kidnapping does not go smoothly and things happen. Meanwhile, the hero finds that he cares for Kitty and tries to manipulate matters to spend time with her, etc. This is a cute story, there is no major angst. Pluses: red-haired hero, great, plain-speaking heroine and interesting cast of characters. Minus: virtually no heat, which is pretty typical for a regency, but it could have used some. Also, it could have used an epilogue. I give it three and a half stars. (
