“I want to be your first art.”
When Bridget becomes a witness to a murder in the coffee shop she frequents, she gets kidnapped by the hot guy from the counter and gets more than what she asks for. Offering anything for her freedom, what she gets instead is something neither one of them were in for. Near instant turn to pure smut. If they didn't reference it frequently, I would've forgotten she was kidnapped in the first place. I feel like stockholm was definitely in play, but felt more than that, considering how well they cared for each other; how Marco doted on her, cared for her, from the very beginning.
I do wish we got more of a backstory, more details. I wish we got to see a bit of Bridget's life before that day. Even just to see Marco's pov during any part of the story.
If you want a short novella including stockholm and kidnapping, this is the story for you.
