I usually like the excitement of "kidnapped" kind of novels, but I hated this one. Truly, I hated it. The reader was expected to almost root for the steamy and uncertain romance brooding between Gemma and her kidnapper. Ty is portrayed as a sexy, lonely, and tormented soul. Gemma is shallow and angsty, and her confusion about her feelings for Ty are never portrayed as indicators of abuse but rather misunderstood young love that her parents will never understand. Stolen is a mockery for anyone who has ever been in any kind of similar situation of abuse or force by a sexual predator.
