Thoughts on writing stories where the main character falls in love with her kidnapper?

You are coming out the gates swinging, this is one hell of a first thread 
Youād need to handle it super well for it to be good. There are also a few places you can take it right? You can go the romance option which is definitely the hard way, because kidnapping kinda sucks. So like, how do you make it actually romantic. Not episode romantic 
Then thereās the horror route but thatās very different. Also needs to be handled carefully but a whole other kettle of fish

Iām fine with it if the story is about how messed up that is. But itās never about that

If you want a good example, thereās Final Fantasy 9. Although thatās cheating. The Princess wants to be kidnapped, and the kidnapper falls for her first >.>

Sundosia does it quite well. She gets kidnapped for a political reason by a king of a different kingdom. He asks her to simply send a letter to her father begging him to meet with the king about political issues then he lets her go home. She sees his point and decides to stay 100% freely and then they fall in love

In my life in Paterson, many others along with me have fear of being kidnapped. It happens a lot in my area with little kids and teens. I do get uncomfortable with it a little but overall, not really. Well, when discussed really. It happening irl is more scary than spoken. I donāt mind others writing about it as long as itās not romanticized.

Because her dad is doing some bad stuff and she realises that the king kidnapped her as a last resort ā her father is doing some shady stuff on the border between the two kingdoms and the king just wants her father to hear him out. Treats her well and everything.

Personally Iāve never read any well- written story with a theme like that 
There are some good ones with a kidnapper villain lol. If thereās a romance story like that, I expect it to be well-written without romanticizing abuse. I guess @ChaoticDeluge ās example counts xD I love reading stories with unusual plots/themes. Not even counting the episode stories. Sometimes fiction explores ideas which we might not get the chance to experience in real life. @ShanniiWrites Iāve read Sundosia and the author has released a limelight version too

I have! I want more!

I think these stories are generically boring. Like I find it very weird when the MC falls in love with the kidnapper.
