Love is the one thing you can't steal. Nessa Griffin leads a lonely life. Too compassionate and gentle for the underworld business she grew up in, she fills no role in her family's mafia empire, struggling to prove herself both at home and in her highly competitive ballet corps. Mikolaj Wilk is the most vicious gangster in Chicago, and he's hellbent on revenge. His adoptive father saved him from the streets of Warsaw only to die at the hands of the Griffins. As part of his vengeance, Mikolaj abducts Nessa, holding her captive in his moldering gothic mansion. She might not deserve to pay for her family's crimes, but in this world, the wolves eat the lambs no matter how gentle and innocent they may be. But even as Mikolaj plots the destruction of everything the Griffins hold dear, he finds himself fixated on his captive, wanting this ballerina to dance only for him. Meanwhile, Nessa finds herself lost in the growing tension between her and her kidnapper, their twisted relationship building in new, terrifying ways. He is the beast to her beauty-but can Nessa find the man inside before he gives into his hunger?

I received this e-arc from Netgalley in return for my honest opinion.
I did not love this book as much as I thought I would. I loved the first book, but this book feels like a romanced version of Stockholm Syndrome.
I did really enjoy Nessa as a character, I liked to see how, despite everything, she continued to grow and be a better person. Her learning Polish to just F*ck with Miko was fun to see.
This truly was a beauty and the beast retelling, which I liked.
Will continue with the series, just because I like Sophies writing and im curious to see what she does with the other books.
I liked the Beauty and the Beast aspect of this one. Miko was a great character, didn't really like Nessa much. It was entertaining, though.
It was better than the first book in this series, in my opinion.
The pacing was somewhat off, the first 50% were slow and then everything started happening at the same time.
Everything wrapped up a little too nicely at the end.
75% van dit boek was gewoon dat zij bij hem in dat huis opgesloten was. Dat was soms echt best saai. De laatste 25% hebben ervoor gezorgd dat het een 3 ster is ipv een 2,5...
