Jewel Me Twice by Charish Reid

by 1 Comment

Jewel Me Twice is like the old Reese’s Peanut Butter cup tag line. “Two great tastes that taste great together.” It combines two of my favorite things, a heist romance written by one of my auto-buy authors, Charish Reid. I liked Charish Reid from the first page of The Write Escape, and have enjoyed all of her books. I love the characters she writes and the relationships she builds with them. As a side note, I got into a conversation about Charish Reid’s heroines, and […]

I’m Putting Together a Team

It Takes a Thief by Sloane Steele

First of all, this book is a bad decisions book club book. I started it Friday evening intending to read just a couple of chapters and stayed up until 2:30 am finishing it. Cousins Jared and Mia’s lives were hurt when their fathers were exposed as scammers, but their fathers hurt a lot more people financially who couldn’t afford it. Now that they’ve inherited trust funds from their mothers, they plan to commit a series of art heists to raise money to provide compensation to […]
