Mafia dark romance
Beauty and the beast retelling
Enemies to lovers
Professional ballerina
Opposites attract
“Touch her and die”

The writing is really stilted int he beginning. Maybe it’s the dual first person POV. And it’s needlessly repetitive. Something said in chapter 2 is almost verbatim in chapter 6.

The monotonous replay of a specific scene in the other POV in first person isn’t interesting, it’s boring.

The characters are under developed. There is such potential, but their character arcs are rushed and their relationship arc hardly goes beyond Stockholm syndrome. Their on page interactions are very few, making their relationship seem very immature. There is very little on page tension because they hardly ever interact.

But it was a quick and easy read.

Thank you NetGalley and Bloom Books/Sourcebooks for an Advanced Reader Copy of the ebook in return for an honest review.

I enjoyed reading this a lot. I loved beauty and the beast themes as well as the little nods to the movie mentioned in there. Beauty and the beast is one of my favorite movies so I liked that a lot. I liked Miko and Nessa together. I loved the touch her and I'll kill you vibes, it never misses. I liked how he brought out her true feelings about things. Their relationship was really insta lovey/lust but I know that's the point. I really liked the relationship between Ness and Klara, that was really cute. Overall this was a really entertaining book!

Here's my shameful, horribly kept secret. I love alpha mafia men (in fiction only, I swear!). I love fairytales. And I am OBSESSED with these two things when put together. So it makes sense that I fell head over heels for Nessa and Miko's story. And even though Miko and Nessa's storyline is a lot Stockholm Syndrome-y and Miko is the least polished of the Brutal Birthright men and the transition from hate to love is a bit sudden, I am a complete sucker for Stolen Heir. SH is like what would happen if Beauty and the Beast and Swan Lake (the ballet) had an EXTREMELY SPICY, criminal baby and I was here for every second of it. I don't care about any flaw of this story, the prima ballerina and the tattooed Braterstwo leader who bows to no one except this tiny ballerina absolutely slays me. Major trigger warning on rape and suicide in the prologue (which is absolutely gutpunchingly heartbreaking).
