REVIEW: Heart of the Steal by Avon Gale and Roan Parrish

SiriusBook Reviews / DNF Reviewsart thief / FBI agent / m/m romance / unprofessional professional28 Comments

Responsible, disciplined William Fox channeled his love for art and his faith in the rules into being an FBI Art Crimes agent.

REVIEW: Loose and Easy by Tara Janzen

JaneBook Reviews / C Reviews Category / C+ Reviewsart thief / reunited-lovers / special ops / Steele-Street / Tara-Janzen13 Comments

Dear Ms. Janzen: I really liked the first Steele Street stories. One thing, in particular, is that they sounded very modern.

REVIEW: After the Kiss by Suzanne Enoch

JaneA Review Category / A- Reviewsart thief / Commoner Aristocracy pairing / Regency England / Suzanne-Enoch / thief16 Comments
