The Cocky Thief

Review: The Cocky Thief - Book #1 Stolen Hearts Series - Mallory Crowe - January 2017

One of my favorite movie series is the Oceans Eleven etc. with Ocean's Thirteen being my all-time favorite. I am a fan of reading about heists and thieves, and so when I saw this book The Cocky Thief by Mallory Crowe, I knew I had to read it. The book starts off with Austin Miles who is the best at what he does which is the extraction of goods, he leaves no trace and is at the top of everyone's list if they need something worth a lot taken. He is hired to retrieve an expensive necklace. Austin goes undercover as a lawyer and during his flight to the wedding, he meets Jennifer Murray. She happens to be the bride-to-be's daughter. The pair hit it off, and sparks fly. During the car ride to the wedding, we also meet another of Jennifer's sister Melody. Upon arrival, though, we discover that Jennifer and her family are thieves as well and that this marriage is just a set-up for her mother to steal the Dragon's necklace and of course she needs her daughters to help. The Cocky Thief reminded me of the movie The Heartbreakers which starred Jennifer Love -Hewitt which had a mother/daughter team of con-women. The Cocky Thief is filled with romantic suspense, action and adventure as we have the chemistry flowing strongly between Jennifer and Austin throughout the story and then Melody gets kidnapped , which sees the introduction of Jennifer's other sister Toni and a few of Austin's shady friends. If you love Heist novels and Romantic Suspense stories then The Cocky Thief by Mallory Crowe is the read for you.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
