Even the house with its historically ambiguous decor and old books musty smells of fairytales, not to mention the enchanted garden. From the moment I see her, I want her for myself. Every day that passes, I become more obsessed with her. She’s seeking the answer to a mystery, and so am I… How can I make her mine once and for all?” This book is a standalone but also part 2 of a series. I strongly suggest reading part 1 Brutal Prince to give you the best reading experience.** Here, you can find more about every Sophie Lark book, and its characters, as described by the author herself.

Stolen Heir by Sophie Lark | Waterstones Stolen Heir by Sophie Lark | Waterstones

An add-on to the Brutal Prince book, where the two main characters, Aida and Callum, go to a Halloween event.Beauty and the beast retelling but make it mafia? I really thought it was going to be terrible but I devoured this book in a one setting. It’s fast paced and the perfect cure for reading slump and i think Sophie Lark is going to be my go to in any reading slump condition. It’s perfect for dark romance beginners but for me personally as a heavy dark romance reader, this was like a romcom but i’d love to call it a palate cleanser and it’s so easy to get into. Description: “Brutal Prince” is the explosive first act in the epic “Brutal Birthright” series. It’s a stand-alone Dark Mafia Romance, complete with HEA and no cliffhangers. It contains blazing hot bedroom scenes for mature readers only!!! If Miko was talking to himself out loud or in his own head, then okay, obviously he would refer to her in Polish. But this way it sounds cringy, I'm sorry. No one actually talks like that. And yet you just grabbed her hair and kissed her with no consent knowing you kidnapped her and she doesn’t like you. I can excuse murder but not touching someone with no consent. This mafia world is dark but it’s not as dark as some mafia books I’ve read . There’s lots of power and control themes , some violence and threats of violence and some suspense moments

Brutal Birthright Series by Sophie Lark - Goodreads

The premise of the story is Beauty and the Beast. The sweet, wholesome, virginal Nessa gets kidnapped by “the Beast” (yes, she actually refers to him as this), aka Miko, who is the new Polish mafia boss, where she is used as a pawn in his plot for revenge. Nessa is kept as a prisoner in his old gothic mansion until she ends up softening the stone-cold heart of Miko. She’s also not allowed to go anywhere in the West Wing, she often finds herself in the library, and she becomes best friends with the help. Nessa is Belle 2.0. They think they can have whatever they want—expensive watches, gold chains, phones that cost more than I make in a month. Apparently, they decided that they wanted my sister.For the revenge of the death of their leader they kidnap nessa who is the youngest and most innocent of the irish/Italian alliance but her goodness has a different effect on miko . And he rediscovers love again . And listen, I'm a dancer, I love reading books where dancing is included. But this was so stupid that it did not work for me. Our father had a good job at the Huta Warszawa Steel Works. He was a maintenance technician, bringing home a salary of almost six thousand zloty a month. Enough to keep us all in new shoes with a full fridge. Ohhh Mikolaj…my secret book boyfriend. He’s dark and moody and he lives in a haunted mansion. I had some real gothic Beauty and the Beast vibes writing this one. Nessa is my little ballerina Belle — smart and creative and kind. The only person who could melt Miko’s frozen heart.

Stolen Heir: A Dark Mafia Romance (Brutal Birthright

Description: “Snow” is a virgin dark mafia romance, Book 2 in the Underworld series. It’s an intense, violent, and sexually charged stand-alone novel. Complete with HEA and no cliffhangers, plus enough steamy scenes to set your Kindle on fire! Her father took everything from me: my money, my family, my life. He has to pay for what he’s done. And she’s the only thing that can hurt him…” To my surprise, I do like this book more than Brutal Prince. In Stolen Heir, the character develop bit more vulnerable so I can feel their chemistry. The sex scenes are mediocre. The dance/str*pping scene was very out of character and just not Nessa. The Nessa she was supposed to be would not do that + the other sxual thing she did during and after that scene with her kidnapper while she was just crying 1 minute ago begging him to not kill her brother- if you haven’t read this you probably don’t understand what I’m talking about, but basically, these scenes were very out of character.He’s the ringleader. I’ve seen how the others defer to him. I’ve seen how he stares at Anna most of all. I want this girl more than I’ve ever wanted anything. The problem is, she already belongs to a Bratva boss who plans to sell her virginity to the highest bidder. I have to find a way to set her free. I want to be her first, and her last…” But yeah like...even the first book had stereotypes, but to a lesser degree because only the villain was Polish. Now we have a main character who's Polish, who hates his country, makes constant jabs at it, the Polish mafia is basically described as the worst in brutality (at the start we even see their members raping a girl, but we never saw that with the Italian or Irish ones)... Terrified by the growing tension with her kidnapper, Nessa loses herself in a dark fairytale ballet that parallels their increasingly twisted relationship.
