Stolen Heir by Sophie Lark
3.75
Book two in the Brutal Birthright series and I started out a little sceptical from book 1, but this one was soo much better!? This one is about Nessa, Callums youngest sister, and the Polish Mafia boss Mikolaj (Miko). Because of Dante's actions in book 1, Miko wants to take revenge on the Griffins and Gallo's by kidnapping Nessa intending to break the families apart and take over Chicago. Until his heart softens for Nessa and she falls for the beast in return :).
Obviously, a Beauty and the Beast retelling! Nessa suffers severely from Stockholm's syndrome so if that makes you uncomfortable this is not a recommendation. What I liked much more was that this one felt like way more character development? There's a significant difference in Ness and Miko from the begin and end of the book in how they've changed and I love the way Miko caught his feelings xD. This book also had more... depth? I feel like? I love Aida from book one and callum was cool but their anger and resentment came from nothing other than them being in rival families.. Miko legit had "good reason" to want revenge? His growth and depth and realisations made sense and weren't just, boo they're the Italians i hate them?
Very curious for book 3, kind of excited to continue the series :) they still read super easily :)
