I captured a thief…does that mean I get to keep him?
Lainey
My mother’s dream was for me to marry a rich man. So I got engaged to one…and he was a no-good, cheating so-and-so. I left him in my dust, and now I’m working as a personal assistant to a professional rich woman while I pursue my dream, running a business helping people who’ve been through messy breakups.
When a woman comes to me after her ex refuses to hand over her heirloom heart necklace, I know exactly what to do.
I cozy up to her ex to steal it back.
Jake is a smooth talker with good game, but so am I. So it doesn’t take me long to get the necklace from him.
Except it turns out they never dated, and it’s not actually hers.
It’s a fake version of a very expensive necklace owned by my boss…and the real one just got stolen.
Jake
I absolutely intended to steal Lainey’s boss’s necklace. Because if I don’t bring it back to the man who sent me here, I’m toast.
Lainey agrees to help me find out who took it. Our motivations don’t match up, but I’m not about to complain. Because suddenly the necklace isn’t the only thing I want; I want to make her mine.
Lainey just ended things with the fiancé she doesn’t love and walked away from her life in NY to start over with her bestie down south. Her fresh start includes cutting out her toxic parents since she was just a commodity to them. They don’t care about their daughter but just want her to marry a rich man. Luckily for Lainey, there’s a job opening for Mrs. Rosings’ assistant since Claire left to start a bakery. Her primary responsibility is to help Mrs. Rosings plan her son Anthony’s wedding, which is designed to be a disaster since she loathes his fiancée. It’s a strange job but Lainey is up for the challenge and there’s never a dull moment.
In her free time, Lainey’s hard at work getting The Love Fixers up and running with Nicole’s help and their latest client throws Lainey’s whole world into a tailspin. She meets a gorgeous man who’s full of secrets and too tempting for words. She wants to run far away from Jake Jeffries but he’s a key player in her current Love Fixers plan, to stop Anthony’s wedding before it’s too late. She and Jake form a tentative partnership to help her cause and solve a mystery, but nothing is as it seems, including Jake himself.
I loved the mystery and suspense aspects of this story so much that I won’t say anything else about the plot. Lainey was sassy and funny and independent and I loved everything about her. Jake may be the best man the author has ever given us and together these two are fire. Their story has a bit of everything from humor and suspense to plenty of steam and I couldn’t get enough of it. I’d like to thank the author for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
