Thief of Hearts

By Tess Gerritsen

He Was a Gentleman

In tuxedo and bow tie, Jordan Tavistock was the unlikeliest burglar. But when a chum asked him to steal back some X-rated love letters from her ex-lover's estate, he had no choice but to oblige. He never expected to get caught by another thief.

She Was a Wanted Woman

Despite her protests, Diana Lamb was too sleek to be anything but a cat burglar. In fact, Jordan was sure nothing about her was real from her name, to her hair, to her identity. Was she an innocent fortune hunter or an American hellion with a price on her head?

Their distrust of each other was only as strong as their desire. And Jordan began to fear that Diana was more than just a thief of hearts .

[edwardsgt · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Should have been warned by the Mills & Boon imprint but thought I'd try it anyway, but quickly became clear it was a saccharine laced plot and gave up.

I'm normally a big fan of Gerritsen, but  I didn't realise until part way through this story, that this is one of Gerritsen's earliest books. It contains more romance and a lot less horror/gore than her current works, so failed to draw me in. It's ok, but it's not at the levelI usually expected.

The Thief of Hearts is Tess Gerritsen’s 10th stand-alone novel. Jordan Tavistock, doing a favour for a friend, encounters a very attractive female thief whilst himself trying to steal some letters from a local wealthy playboy’s bedroom. Soon, Jordan chances upon Clea Rice again, and after a narrow escape from an exploding car, their destinies seem to become irrevocably entwined. While Clea thinks Jordan would be safer leaving her to fend for herself, Jordan isn’t about to let that happen. Lots of pursuit and escape, surveillance and betrayal, hair dye and wigs. Missing expensive artwork, Lloyds, sinking ships, a bit of sexy romance and hitmen all make an appearance. An enjoyable novel: Tess Gerritsen always does intrigue well.
