A couple of months ago, I discovered this wonderful series. Below are the official blurbs with my take in bold.
Hot Pursuit : book 1
Don't miss this laugh-out-loud, enemies-to-lovers romance that's How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days meets White Collar with a dash of The Thomas Crown Affair thrown in!
All
Jolene Carter has ever wanted is to own a bakery of her own. There’s
only one problem. Her father, Robert Carter, is a world-renowned art
thief and she’s, well, sort of his protégé. But he’s promised her that
this next job in New York will be their last, and she won’t let anyone
get in the way of her dreams... especially not the distractingly
delicious FBI agent hot on her tail.
Agent Nate Parker has been
on the Robert Carter case for years, and if the rumors of the aging
criminal’s retirement are true, this might be his last chance to nail
him. With the legacy of his late father in the back of his mind, the
stakes are more personal than anyone realizes. He won’t let anything
stand in the way of justice...especially not the red-headed vixen who
keeps giving him the slip.
He’s a cop who’d never bend. She’s a con who’ll never break. But all’s fair in love and larceny...
Jo is one of those beautiful zany characters that is so easy to fall in love with. Her banter with Nate is one of those priceless moment I loved rereading.
Stolen Goods:book 2
Catch Me If You Can meets Tangled in this funny and feel-good adventurous
romance.
Addison Abbot is a dreamer—she dreams of owning her own cake shop, of
traveling the world, of finding Prince Charming. But when it comes to actually
following any of those dreams, she's a little, well, stuck. So when a devilishly
handsome stranger saves her from two robbers with guns and pulls her into the
adventure of a lifetime, she's determined to find her fairytale ending—until she
realizes he's the most wanted criminal in America, that is.
Thaddeus Ryder was just another run-of-the-mill international art thief until his
latest heist went south. Now, his face is on every news station, his name is
making headlines, and his partner is working for the feds. Talk about a bad week
on the job. His only option is to flee the country. But when hitmen for the
Russian mafia interrupt his getaway, Thad gains an accidental companion—a
baking beauty who might be too tempting to resist.
When a girl good meets a bad boy, sparks are bound to fly. But this conman
is about to discover the only thing he can't steal is her heart...
Addison and Thad are awesome together. I adored this story!
Off the Grid : book 3
One part Pride and Prejudice.
One part Romancing the Stone.
All the feels.
Don't miss this laugh-out-loud, action-packed romantic comedy, new from bestselling author Kaitlyn Davis, writing as Kay Marie.
Agent
Leo Alvarez is on his way to Hawaii when his partner calls in a
favor—the mob is after a pastry chef in NYC, and he's the only one who
can get to her in time. With his dreams of Mai Tais and sandy shores
ruined, Leo rushes to her rescue. But when he arrives at her apartment,
he's greeted by an upturned nose and an icy blue stare. This damsel in
distress doesn't need saving. Good thing he's a retired marine who never
backs down without a fight.
After a childhood racked by scandal,
McKenzie Harper has learned to loathe surprises. So when a strange man
knocks on her door, interrupting her morning routine, she has no choice
but to politely shut it in his face—no matter how deeply his hazel eyes
might pierce. She has places to go, pastries to bake, and promotions to
secure. Or she did, until three masked men kidnap her and throw her into
the back of a van... Suddenly, that white knight doesn't seem so scary.
He's a cocky Fed with a killer smile. She's an uptown beauty
with a biting tongue. If they want to survive, they'll have to learn to
work together—assuming they don't kill each other first.
McKenzie and Leo got that spark that made reading this final book very enjoyable.
By the way those Peanut Butter cookies were the some of the best I've ever had. You all got to try it. So, Til next time!
