Holy hell, I thought this mf was going to be irredeemable. But, as expected, Sophie Lark managed to make me fall in love with someone I felt was beyond redemption. 

Cold and callous, I understood why Miko ended up the way he did based off of his childhood backstory. However, it took a long time for me to actually feel that softness towards him that I wasn't expecting. 

Nessa was like a baby bird that had fallen from the nest and ended up much stronger with a wealth of independence I didn't believe she was capable of achieving. 

While this is an opposites attract, the two personalities complimented each other completely and created a fine balance. 

I really enjoyed this book in the end, having wavered near the beginning, and I'm glad I continued reading.

Stolen Heir is the second book in the ‘Brutal Birthright’ series. Nessa Griffin is the youngest  daughter of the Griffin family. She’s a college student and ballet dancer. She gets kidnapped after her Jeep malfunctions. Mikolaj Wilk is apart of the Polish Braterstwo. He wants to get revenge on the Gallo’s and the Griffin’s who in the previous book killed his mentor/adoptive father Tymon Zajac. So he has one of his men kidnap Nessa and bring her to his house. Her family are frantic to find her. After a false exchange and brief alliance with the Russian Bratva, Miko realizes that he not only loves Nessa but that he wants a marriage alliance with the Griffins (and by extension the Gallos). And Nessa feels a strong connection to him as well. The get married at the end of the book, both having been changed for the better having met each other.
