About the Book

She’s a thief. He’s FBI. Together, they’re about to execute the heist of their life.

Everyone thinks the big-shot CEO who kidnapped my uncle is an amazing humanitarian. He’s not. He’s holding Uncle Liam hostage to force me and my crew to steal a dangerous, specialized computer for him. I’m Holly Bell, and that’s what my uncle—the only family I have left—raised me to do. Steal things. We’re amazing at it. If you can’t get justice anywhere else for your property that’s landed in the wrong hands, that’s when you hire us to steal it back. But this time, I’m in over my head. That’s why I decide to do the impossible (or the insane): recruit the FBI agent who’s been chasing us for six months.

Jackson Kendrick is the head of the specialized FBI unit dedicated to capturing me and my crew. He’s gotten so close so many times that I fear our days are numbered. But I manage to talk this committed man into catching a much bigger criminal: the crooked CEO holding my uncle. Not only would Jackson receive gold star accolades for this unprecedented arrest, he’d show his shortsighted boss that suspending Jackson for not hauling me in when he had the chance was a big mistake.

If only Jackson hasn’t been living rent-free in my wildest fantasies. Working with him day in and day out has us discovering a sexy, unlikely obsession that can only lead to heartache since we’re on opposite sides of the law. Yet, as my new partner in crime, Jackson’s good at playing the bad guy. He fits in with the misfit crew of hackers, a mistress of disguise, and a guy who’s good at making things go BOOM! I need all the leverage I can get and he needs to stay on his toes. I’m a thief, after all. By the time we steal the computer, I just might also steal his heart.

Do you like capers, heists, hilarious hijinks, and unlikely romance? Winner of the prestigious Sapphire Award from the Romance Writers of Australia, Stealing His Heart just might steal your heart, too! 

Excerpt

 

A faint touch grazed my dress’s bow tied behind me at my waist. “I have the overwhelming feeling you want me to tug on one of these ends.”

Oh God, I did. I wanted him to take the decision of us crossing the line out of my hands. Getting involved with him would be stupid on so many levels, but I had become too invested in him to think clearly.

The dress was the most provocative thing I’d packed, and my hands had refused to pick out anything else from my suitcase. Playing with fire? Hell yes. For hell was where I’d been living since the first time Kendrick pinned me to the floor in Michael’s house, and I wanted him to burn along with me.

My Review

This is a fun-loving read with lots of subterfuge, action, and hilarity. 

I loved the story but my anxiety got the better of me and I was reading scared throughout the whole book! A thief and an FBI agent fall in love, but where are they going to live? I was waiting for the other shoe to drop and when it did, I was completely shattered!

Stealing His Heart ran the gamut of emotions from start to finish and captured my interest until the very end. I really enjoyed the quirky, loveable Robin Hood-esque plot, eclectic cast of characters, and steam-filled, no holds barred romance that fairytales are made of. Highly recommend it.
