Stolen Heir by Sophie Lark
5.0
Just dove into 'Stolen Heir' by Sophie Lark, and let me tell you, it's a wild ride! Picture this: Miko, a tattooed revenge-seeker, and Nessa, an innocent ballerina caught in a dark and gothic world where wolves eat lambs for breakfast. It's like Beauty and the Beast got a mafia makeover, and I am loving it!
Rating this one a solid 4.25 for the forced proximity, slow-burn romance, and all the mafia drama you could ask for. Miko's a grumpy blondie with more tattoos than I can count, and Nessa's the sunshine ballerina who unexpectedly becomes his captive. Talk about a rollercoaster, right?
The pacing is insane – fast, gripping, and before you know it, you're knee-deep in this emotion-packed story. The characters are the real stars here. Miko's got a backstory that adds a layer of depth, and the chemistry between him and Nessa? Off the charts. Despite my initial reservations about the kidnapping trope, the enemies to lovers theme is executed surprisingly well.
The only 'really?' moment for me was the ending – a bit too neatly wrapped up. I like my conclusions with a side of messy, you know? And can we talk about tropes? Forced proximity, kidnapping, slow burn – Sophie Lark ticks all the boxes.
In a nutshell, 'Stolen Heir' challenges your expectations, proving that even in the darkest tales, love shines through. If you're into mafia romance that keeps you on your toes and surprises you with unexpected sweetness, give this one a go. Can't wait to see what the rest of the Brutal Birthright series has in store!
