The Duke of St Giles has a fairy tale feel.  The plot is unbelievable but yet I could not help but like this story and that’s because the characters have certain sweetness to their actions.Emily is kidnapped by West, known as the Duke of St. Giles.  She is unafraid at first as she has been very sheltered and protected and this is her opportunity to have a great adventure.  She senses that her kidnapper will not harm her and her insights are exactly on target.West is from the rookery and he has elevated himself to being a sort of kingpin of St. Giles, although a benevolent one when it comes to some of the least fortunate of London’s slums.  His plans to ransom Emily completely go off kilter.  He is so charmed by her.Emily follows her instincts and she knows that West is so much more than he appears.  She is not one to give up on her dreams and even though she can be a little immature and way to trusting, I found her kind spirit a perfect remedy to West’s hardened heart.
