If you’re reading this letter, then I am quite dead, my dear. Dead, but not resting.

Jewel Me Twice by Charish Reid

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.

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 […]
