Miko is out to get revenge for the death of his father. He kidnaps Nessa, the youngest Griffin daughter.
He keeps her hidden away in his mansion while planning his revenge against her family. Over the month, they catch feelings and Miko changes his plans. 

I thought this was a pretty good twist on Beauty and the Beast (the references were a little too in your face). I liked the chemistry between Nessa and Miko. I really enjoyed seeing the evolution of Miko's feelings and all the little things he did for her (ex. Bought her dance outfits). You could tell he had really fallen hard. Nessa's age kind of bothered me, she was young (19), I wish her character had been a bit older. This kind of boardered on insta love.

This is such a cute love story!!! Who doesn't love it when a mafiaboss kidnapps you and keeps you captive in a big old mansion for months?? No, I'm not being sarcastic🥹🥺

Sophie Lark does a really good job at describing the setting and enviroment in this book. I could see the mansion as clear as day. It may be my new favourite fiction mansion. 

Sometime I felt the book was kinda long, because we get many of Miko and Nessa's inner monologues. But would I have been without them? No, absolutly not. 

This book could have more action and interaction between the two main characters, but I see the book as a love story, and not really a dark romance.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy this book as much as I did when I first started reading but this story grew on me as I kept reading. Nessa was so sweet and I loved that she was a dancer. Miko grew on me as the story progressed. I surprisingly found myself rooting for them. I would recommend this book and am excited to see what happens next in the series!
