Publisher's summary

A laugh-out-loud, unconventional opposites-attract love story from New York Times best-selling author Melanie Moreland.

I touched her confectionary creation, and she told me off. Slapping my hands and cursing in her own unique fashion. No one talked to me that way. I liked it.

I liked her cake even more. So, I took her to Italy to bake for me. I should have asked her first, but I had a feeling she'd say no. But I brought her cat, so that should count for something.

Now, I just need to convince her to stay. And forget that little word. Kidnapper. I'd prefer lover. But we'll wait until she doesn't want to kill me in my sleep.

Fun and sweet story

This was such a light and fun story to listen to. It was different from what I would usually pick-up but so glad I got to experience it. The bonus epilogue was everything! The narrators did a great job bringing the story to life.

Better than Reading

Okay, I'll be honest. I've sort of tried audiobooks before and just couldn't stay focused on the story. However, My Favorite Kidnapper by Melanie Moreland changed all that. The time flew by as the narrators wove the story around me. I could close my eyes and see what I was hearing and it made the story that much better. I loved reading the ebook, but this was next level. Dante and Brianna's story is a laugh out loud, steamy romance with a sweet tooth. You have to read or, better yet, listen to this work of art.

Cute Rom-Com

My Favorite Kidnapper follows Brianna (a baker) and Dante (a thief/art collector). This is age gap, instalust, kidnapping, curvy heroine, morally gray hero, rom-com. Dante meets Brianna at a wedding, and decides that wants her and her cupcakes. He tells her that she will come with him and she sort of believes him, but is convinced when she goes to sleep in Toronto and wakes up in Italy! She is sassy and he loves it! Brianna doesn’t really mind being kidnapped by Dante, and it turns into a joke with them. The 3rd act break up is reasonable for the story. The romance is pretty cute. The spicy scenes are awkward, and they help further the romance. This a solid read that I did find myself chuckling with.

“I wasn’t looking for anyone—until I saw her.”

My Favorite Kidnapper was an absolute delight! This lighthearted, emotional story was so much fun and I absolutely loved it. Dante and Brianna were perfection and their story will give you all the feels while also making you smile.

Brianna was such a fun character. She had a difficult life, but she did not let it get her down. She was hardworking and determined to have the future she wanted. She was quirky and full of fun sayings that will make you chuckle. Dante made her see herself in a new light and brought her a self-confidence that made her even more adorable than she already was. I loved her strength and her perseverance.

Dante’s obsessions with sweets cracked me up. He was completely enamored with Brianna from the moment they met because she was a breath of fresh air in his life. His ways to get what he wanted were unconventional, but he had such a huge heart. I loved his protectiveness and how all he wanted was to make Brianna’s life easier however he possibly could. He supported her unconditionally and tried to uplift and make her see herself how he saw her.

The sparks from Dante and Brianna flew from their first encounter. Their snarky banter was a lot of fun and their chemistry was white-hot. I loved their spicy yet heartfelt relationship and how easily they related to one another even though they came from two completely different worlds. They were perfection together.

John Lane and Maxine Mitchell were an absolute delight as Dante and Brianna. They captured the emotions of the story perfectly and made me feel as if the story was coming to life in my ears. I absolutely loved this audio and the story.

Full of humor, heat, and heart, My Favorite Kidnapper may be my new favorite story by this author. I devoured this story and I couldn’t put it down until I reached the end. It was so worth the read!!!

Love love love 🫶🏽

The book cover peaked my interest first. This is one of my favorite reads this year. I didn’t want it to end. The narrators I knew would knocked the story out of the park, they made the words come alive. The ending was magnificent.
