Stealing Blinds

Noire Brothers #4

by Brandy Hynes

Greed equals ruin, but Noires want it all.
A mask to conceal. A treasure to plunder.
Harrowing heists and a shattering head.
Conquest to conquest, controlling the game.

Cash
No name, no face—just amber eyes and a thief who stole my attention.
She thinks she got the last word. But as the owner of La Lune Noire, a resort for the corrupt, my resources are endless, and I never lose.
When I track down the sly and stunning Sylvie Palmer, I’m mesmerized.
Sparks fly. She feigns disinterest. But I know better.
I chase her across the US with one vision in mind: her dress on my floor. But every encounter has me wanting more. And realizing she’s in trouble.
The little bandit has an agenda, but the only priceless art I’m after is her.

Sylvie
Cash Noire is the epitome of bedlam, roguery, and charisma wrapped in a conceited blond.
Utter disaster.
A billionaire playboy and my unfortunate complication.
I have a job to do, and it isn’t him. But he’s everywhere.
Eventually, my path is clear: shove him into the friend zone, use the Noire resources, and move on.
Plans fail, lines blur, schemes are formed, and the fall is tragic.
Pounding hearts and mind-blowing escapes.
Cliffs and sea and the Dead Man’s Hand.
Someone played us all.

She’s oxygen and gravity, the steady rhythm and erratic thrumming of my heartbeat

I’m back to being in love with the Noires AGAIN

Cash and Sylvie, one a resort owner and the other a cat burglar who stole Cash’s heart when she never intended to

Their story is filled with a whole journey of learning how to trust each other, along with so many secrets that slowly get unraveled

We finally get to know Cash, who’s always the party of the group, always joking and being easygoing with everyone, but underneath that exterior, there’s so much hiding. Nightmares he can’t forget and things from his past that still haunt him

When he catches Sylvie stealing from the resort, he feels the pull from the first day he sees her, and that was years before this encounter

“There is no world or realm or life where I exist and you aren’t the axis. You can push me away, but I’ve got a long fucking reach. I am here to stay.”

Sylvie definitely challenged him through every encounter they have. She doesn’t make anything easy for him, and that comes from her fear of her past repeating itself, but Cash shows up every single time, ready to meet every challenge she throws at him. He slowly convinces her that he isn’t going anywhere and that he will always be her anchor

I loved watching Cash go from the goofy, easygoing one of the group to seeing everything he keeps hidden underneath, And Sylvie was such a perfect match for him because she challenged him every step of the way while also slowly learning to trust him

And the Noires!!! I swear I’m so attached to this family at this point 🥹🥹
Every time I think I have a favorite, another brother comes along and ruins that for me

I’m already counting down to the next book because I NEED MORE
And I know Jax will ruin me in the best way 🤭❤️

As usual, Brandy does not miss! Stealing Blinds stole a piece of my heart; I swear, I ate this one UP. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the most elusive Noire brother and our little thief, but these two easily moved into my second favorite couple in the series. Pure fireworks. I love them all, but Cash and Sylvie definitely stood out.

They were the perfect pairing. Two people who have mastered the art of illusion, never letting anyone get too close, keeping their cards close to the vest, and preferring to fly solo. Their banter and chemistry jumped off the page.

Cash’s persistence and relentless pursuit of her was SO HOT. These Noire men do not back down when they see something they want, and Cash was no exception. But what really got me was the way he balanced that pursuit with patience, kindness, and this quiet, steady strength. He showed Sylvie that he was NOT what everyone thought he was and proved it through his actions. SO. DAMN. ATTRACTIVE. He also reminded me of Liam from the KORT series in certain ways, and we all know how I feel about that man.

Sylvie was also a phenomenal FMC. Intelligent, funny, strong, yet vulnerable, and she absolutely kept Cash on his toes. Their push and pull built this delicious tension so that when these two finally collided, I felt it all the way into my SPINE! I also really loved the heist aspect of the story and where it took these two. And her mom?! LOVED HER.

Also, I say this with every book, but the found family in this series is my FAVORITE. The text threads, the teasing, the bonds, the way they show up for and support one another it’s so heartwarming. And the bond between all the wives… sisters at this point, really… THE BEST.

We also got a little more of the bigger story with Kratos and maybe some hints about where all these pieces are leading?! I STILL HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS. And Jax is next. JAX. Literally the most mysterious of them all, and I have absolutely no idea where his story is gonna go.

I’m so excited to see what Brandy has planned and how she takes this series home. 🖤

4.25 ⭐
One of my favorite things about this book was the mystery that kept me guessing. I was never able to suss out the real villains or their true motives! The fact that the mystery revolves around several high-stakes heists felt fresh and really amped up the tension and danger. The story does start out on the slow side, but once the pieces fall into place, the pace picks up and the suspense takes over.

I love a strong, capable FMC, and Sylvie didn't disappoint. This woman was not only a near-Olympic gymnast but also a skilled thief. Her sass and banter were perfection, and she had so many standout scenes, like when she took off on the motorcycle, doing tricks and popping wheelies. I also appreciated that she was real. She’s a thief who believes everything has been stolen from her, and that fear of opening up made her feel vulnerable and hesitant.

Cash is the morally grey MMC who falls head-over-heels for Sylvie. Obsessed at first heist, he quickly realizes that she’s his match in every way and is determined to win her over, even if it means stalking her around the world. I loved the near-lethal card trick and massage room revenge. Cash is the playboy who wants to prove that he can be everything for Sylvie. The "my Queen", the "good girl"s, and the spicy scenes? Absolute fire 🥵!

I will forever be a sucker for a found family trope and the Noires completely stole my heart. Their controlled chaos, unique skills, and hilarious text threads had me grinning. The way they protect those in their fold was beautiful.

The audiobook’s duet performance added another layer of immersion. Connor Crais’s deep voice brought Cash to life, though with such a large male cast, a bit more nuance between characters would have helped. Samantha Brentmoor was the perfect Sylvie. Her velvety tone and lower register fit the black‑cat energy perfectly. She gave distinct voices to Sylvie’s mom, sister, and the supporting cast, making the story easy to follow.

If you love a romance that blends high-stakes danger, sizzling chemistry, and an Ocean’s Eleven style mystery, Stealing Blinds is an audiobook you’ll definitely want to listen to.

Thank you, Valentine PR and Brandy Hynes, for this ALC.

The 4th book in this series didn’t disappoint. It had everything the other 3 books had, a great love story as well as action and fast paced drama with humour thrown in.

I’ve enjoyed Cash as a character throughout this series and was really looking forward to him meeting his match. Sylvie was perfect for him.

A thief with a strong moral compass who puts family first made her the one for Cash. She stood her ground, didn’t suffer fools and made Cash work for it.

Of course her life happens to be intertwined with the bigger goings on in the Noire world so they have to get involved in her dealings.

A great story where all the previous characters are very much present and play a large part. This book although part of a series can be read as a standalone.

Thanks to Valentine PR for the advanced copy.

As one of the only unattached Noire brothers, Cash has made a reputation for himself as a consummate playboy, never spending more than one night with a woman, and indulging in the many offerings at his family’s resort, La Lune Noire. But during a Mardi Gras celebration, a masked woman catches his eye, and he knows he needs more from her, which leads to him tracking her around the US. Before long he realizes exactly who she is and what she does, but the more he learns, the more he understands she’s in trouble, and he’s determined to help, even if she won’t accept it.

Sylvie never wanted to follow in her father’s footsteps, but when betrayal led to her being reckless, she found herself indebted to a man who refuses to let her go until she finishes the job. When she first met Cash, she wrote him off as a playboy only interested in one thing, but as he continues to show up while she’s trying to complete her heists, he proves himself a valuable asset. As much as she’s not sure she can trust him, or the Noires, she realizes that she’s in over her head and may not survive the final job without them. But as Cash breaks down all of her walls, she finds herself falling for more than just his charm.

I was lucky enough to receive an early copy of this book from the author and I am obsessed with Sylvie and Cash’s story! Life has taught Sylvie that she should trust no one, which makes it harder for Cash to convince her he’s being earnest, but the way he kept working to break down her walls was swoonworthy. He had convinced himself so long ago that he wasn’t capable of love or having more with a woman, but all along he was just waiting for the right one. I loved how they were able to share their grief for the loss of their parents, but also how their relationship honoured so many parts of their parents’ legacies at the same time. The Noire family was heavily featured in this book as always, and their shenanigans were only second to the fierce way they embraced Sylvie as one of their own. I cannot wait to read the final book of the series, but also am not looking forward to having to say goodbye to this family.

ALC Review:
Duet Narration by Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais
4.75 ⭐️

Tropes:
Resort owner x Cat burglar
Heist
Dislike to lovers
Morally Gray FMC and MMC
He falls first
Found Family
Touch her and…

When a brilliant cat burglar with striking amber eyes steals from Cash Noire, the cocky resort owner makes it his personal mission to hunt her down. What starts as a game of chase quickly becomes a deep obsession. Cash nicknames Sylvie "Sly" and even ropes his family into going to California to cover up his relentless tracking. Sylvie is fiercely independent and determined to keep her focus on her mission, attempting to push Cash into the friend zone. But as secrets unravel and the heist escalates, their explosive banter turns into genuine vulnerability, uncovering the scars both try to hide.

Samantha Brentmoor captures Sylvie’s sharp intellect, stubborn resolve, and refusal to be saved with absolute perfection and Connor Crais brings out Cash’s swagger, magnetic charm, and unhinged obsession in a way that elevates the duet performance completely.

I can't believe we are already at Book 4 of this series. Brandy Hynes' writing and immersing myself back into La Lune Noire is fan-freaking-tastic as always. "Sly and Noire" forever and a huge thanks to author Brandy Hynes for this incredible ALC!

♾️⭐️ STEALING BLINDS — Brandy Hynes

Cash & Sylvie | The Noire Brothers 4

At this point, five stars simply feels insulting.

Well… here we are. Book four.

And if you’ve followed me through the Noire Brothers and back into the KORT series that started this whole beautifully tangled universe, you’ll know I haven’t just been reading these books.

I’ve been living in them.

Brandy Hynes has created a universe that is utterly sublime. The kind where characters stop feeling like characters and start feeling like people you know. The kind where you become ridiculously attached to an entire family, their history, their banter, their group chats, their ridiculousness and their hearts—and every time another book arrives, it feels like coming home while simultaneously being handed another emotional bomb.

And Stealing Blinds?

Cash and Sylvie have absolutely stolen my heart.

I had the pleasure of reading this as an ARC, and I had every intention of taking my time.

I read it in a day.

Sleep? Optional.
Responsibility? Questionable.
580 pages? Apparently nothing when Brandy Hynes has me in a chokehold.

And honestly, I think that says everything.

Because this book had everything I have come to love about this world. The characters, the family, the banter, the group texts that continue to make me feel like I’ve somehow been added to the chat, the emotion, the suspense, the twists, the tension…

And the spice.

Oh, the spice.

But what Brandy does so well is make the heat part of the story rather than the story itself. There is always something underneath it. Emotion. Vulnerability. Connection. Trust. Two people slowly figuring out how to fit together while everything around them is trying to pull them apart.

And Cash and Sylvie?

They just fit.

Cash is exactly the kind of Noire brother I expected him to be—charismatic, cocky, playful, infuriating and completely himself—but watching him fall for Sylvie and slowly realise that this wasn’t another game?

That was EVERYTHING.

And Sylvie… I adored her.

She is clever, capable, fiercely independent and carrying far more beneath the surface than she initially lets anyone see. Watching Cash work his way past those walls, not by trying to change her but by proving she could trust him, was one of my favourite parts of their story.

Their relationship is all sparks and challenges and oh, you think you’re going to outsmart me? Watch me energy.

The banter had me grinning.

The tension had me sweating.

The plot had me sitting there thinking, BRANDY… WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL ARE YOU DOING TO ME?

And finally…

ANSWERS.

Some answers, anyway. 😂

Because naturally Brandy Hynes isn’t about to hand us everything neatly wrapped with a bow. Oh no. She gives us enough to make our brains explode and then leaves us hanging over the edge waiting for Book 5.

I have theories.

I have questions.

I have absolutely no idea if any of my theories are remotely correct.

And I bloody love it.

But there were also moments in this book that genuinely stopped me in my tracks. Lines that stayed with me because underneath all the action, intrigue and Noire-style madness, this story is ultimately about finding someone who becomes home.

“We fit together perfectly. A blissful serenity I never saw coming.”

That one got me.

And then Cash:

“I’m not a good man…”

What followed that thought absolutely wrecked me because this is what I love about these men. They don’t suddenly become something they’re not. They simply find someone worth becoming more for.

And this:

“I might hold on too tight…”

That hit somewhere completely different.

Because beneath all the charm and swagger, there is fear. There is love. There is the terrifying vulnerability of finding something you suddenly cannot imagine losing.

And then there is my favourite kind of Noire philosophy:

Lie for a friend. Cheat death. Steal a heart. Drink together.

Honestly?

Put it on a bloody T-shirt.

This family. These brothers. These women. This entire ridiculous, dangerous, emotionally dysfunctional, fiercely loyal found family…

I want more.

Always more.

I also have to mention the fact that I have already been plotting my audiobook listen before the audio has even landed. 😂 After experiencing the previous books, there is absolutely no chance I am letting Cash and Sylvie stay out of my headphones for long.

Because reading Brandy Hynes is an experience.

Listening to her books is another one entirely.

And after four books in this series, I can say with absolute certainty that The Noire Brothers have become one of those series I know I will revisit simply because these characters have become mine in that slightly unhinged reader way.

Brandy, you have done it again.

You’ve given me characters I care about, a story that swallowed me whole, enough twists to keep me questioning everything, enough spice to require hydration, enough emotion to squeeze my heart and enough unanswered questions to have me staring suspiciously at Book 5 before it even exists.

Five stars?

No.

Infinity stars.

Because when you’ve spent this much time inside an author’s universe, when the characters feel like old friends and every new book somehow makes you love the world even more…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ just isn’t enough.

Cash and Sylvie have officially stolen my heart.

And Brandy?

I’ll be over here waiting for Book 5 like the perfectly patient, completely normal reader I absolutely am not. 😂

Stealing Blinds by Brandy Hynes

⭐⭐⭐⭐.75 | 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

It took me a few chapters to find my rhythm with Stealing Blinds, but eventually, as with all the Noire Brothers books, I became completely enthralled and couldn’t stop listening.

I’ll admit Cash Noire had remained quite mysterious throughout the earlier books, so I wasn’t immediately invested in his story. That changed VERY quickly because he somehow became the most loveable stalker there ever was 😂 His immediate infatuation with Sylvie was adorable rather than irritating, which is a fine line when you’re dealing with a persistent MMC.

Despite Sylvie’s hesitation to take the leap, their chemistry was instant and the fast build between them was electric. Brandy Hynes knows how to write spice, and Stealing Blinds was absolutely no exception 🥵 Cash has some seriously bedazzled hardware that I had to Google...then promptly forgot I’d Googled it and got an absolute eyeful, completely unbidden, when I unlocked my phone later 😂

Without giving away any actual spoilers, this book also contains a spicy scene straight out of my literal fantasies, complete with a happy ending #IYKYK. And then there’s the scene involving a pool float which, yes, was hot, but also had me stressing about the sheer amount of core strength and muscle control required to not capsize with every thrust. Practical concerns, apparently, do not leave me even during smut.



The pacing is a little hard to describe. It throws you into the deep end almost immediately, yet it still took me a little while to fully find my groove. Once I did, though, the intensity just kept building. It never felt rushed, but there was constantly enough happening to keep me on the edge of my seat.

I really, really enjoyed the cat burglar element of the storyline. Between that and Sylvie’s gymnastics background, I was completely entranced by her ability to flip, climb and sneak her way in and out of places undetected.

Of course, there was absolutely no chance Cash was going to let her go undetected.

His relentless pursuit of Sylvie was sexy AF, and I loved how quickly he brought his family into the equation. The Noires essentially help him track her down and then basically force her into the family...in a wholesome, found-family way, not a Stockholm syndrome kind of way 😅 Cash is completely determined to show Sylvie the love, family dynamic and genuine friendships she’s never really had before, and I loved watching those walls slowly come down.

Sylvie’s backstory isn’t typical either, and I genuinely loved the relationship between her and her mum. Their friendship added another layer to her character that I wouldn’t usually love but actually appreciated.

If you’ve been loving the Noire Brothers so far, Stealing Blinds absolutely will not let you down. In fact, I think it’s right up there with my favourites. Papa Axe will probably always have my heart, so he’s holding onto the #1 spot, but Cash and Sylvie are definitely giving him and Zara some serious competition.

And then, of course, there’s Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor.

My absolute dream team.

There was simply no universe in which I wasn’t going to love an audiobook narrated by these two. Knowing Connor Crais has a wife and children, I’ll respectfully refrain from putting into writing exactly what I thought about certain aspects of his vocal performance...but if he’s one of your favourite narrators, you know. You know.

And Samantha Brentmoor is phenomenal, as always. The sheer depth and complexity she brings to every character she voices feels cinematic. Anything narrated by these two is an automatic listen for me. No hesitation.

Now I’m equal parts nervous and excited for Jax’s story. As loveable as he is, I’m just hoping he doesn’t lean too heavily into the stereotypical stoner vibe in the next book.
Either way, I’m absolutely going to devour it, and I have no doubt Brandy will hit the spot once again🔥

Remarkable Characters, Story & Narration🎧 Mesmerizing!

Stealing Blinds
Noire Brothers, Book 4
By: Brandy Hynes
Narrated by: Connor Crais, Samantha Brentmoor

Another amazing Noire brother and another amazing novel written by Brandy Hynes, who continues to blow me away with her incredible stories that are mesmerizing from beginning to end. This fourth book of the “Noire Brothers” series is Cash’s story, and yes, his story stands on its own, but I remember enjoying the series in order written, not only to get the most out of the phenomenal world building, but characters from earlier books appear and knowing their complete backstories adds depth, plus seeing them again is like seeing an old friend. Cash is a character and a half: charismatic, playful, a masterful pickpocket and trickster, also popular with the women, hoping to catch his heart, but he is a “love them and leave them” type of guy. That was before he met her, the mysterious cat burglar, the one who tried to get away, but he is a Noire, resourceful and connected, and he found her, Sylvie Palmer. Sylvie Palmer is just as masterful in her trade, moves like the gymnast she trained to be, and has skills to remove things from sensitive and secured locations without getting caught, think Mission Impossible type of jobs. Sylvie had a mission of her own, a complicated but solo mission, and with Cash trying to work his way into her life, it got even more complicated for her. The things that man did to win her over, eventually showing her she could trust him, especially after he put things together, that her mission had connections to people in his world, powerful people. Sylvie and Cash, Cash and Sylvie, any way you say it has a nice ring to it, and it was great watching him pursue her, work his way into her life and slowly win over her trust and then her heart. It was also great to learn more about Cash, love the bond he shares with his siblings and their significant others, who took Sylvie in with open arms. I also loved learning more about Sylvie, whose backstory was interesting too. This masterfully crafted, multi-layered story has the perfect balance of drama, angst, witty dialogue and banter, Noire style charm and shenanigans, action, thrilling and suspenseful moments, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. Brandy Hynes, thank you for another amazing story and the wild and emotional rollercoaster ride. I am looking forward to what you bring next!

🎧📚🎧Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor deliver an amazing and entertaining duet performance, not only grasping every aspect of their character’s personality but capturing the chemistry and camaraderie between them, from the two leads, Cash and Sylvie, to all the side and secondary characters too. Brandy Hynes could not have chosen a better cast to bring her characters to life, and Crais’ Cash was perfection, from his determination to his playful and charming side to his cunning side, and Brentmoor was just as amazing in Sylvie’s role, smart, independent, and fierce. These two are an ideal pairing, with voices and talent that complement each other, and an engaging performance keeps you hooked on the story and the dialogue. With these two at the mic, you know you are in for a treat of a listen.

[Audio book lover]

A billionaire playboy, a clever cat burglar, and a game of cat and mouse neither of them plans to lose.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.5/5)
Spice-meter: 🌶️🌶️🌶️☆☆ (3/5)
Audiobook: Duet
Series: Noire Brothers, Book 4 (interconnected standalone)
HEA: Yes

Stealing Blinds is another wild, sexy, and chaotic ride into the world of the Noire brothers, and Cash might just be one of the most entertaining Noires yet. Brandy Hynes delivers everything I love about this series: dangerous games, family chaos, sizzling chemistry, morally grey characters, and plenty of twists to keep you guessing.

Cash and Sylvie are such a fun match. He is arrogant, charming, obsessive, and completely convinced he can get whatever he wants. Sylvie is clever, stubborn, and absolutely refuses to be intimidated by him. Their cat-and-mouse dynamic creates so much tension, while the heists, secrets, and action keep the story moving.

And then there is the Noire family. Their love and support for each other, the banter, the teasing, and that genuine found-family feeling continue to be one of my favorite parts of this series. There are also connections to the KORT series, which I loved seeing. Safe to say, I am completely invested in this family and I cannot wait for Jax’s story.

What I Loved

✔️ Cash being completely unhinged and ridiculously entertaining
✔️ A strong FMC who refuses to be intimidated
✔️ The cat-and-mouse dynamic
✔️ Heists, secrets, schemes, and twists
✔️ Sizzling chemistry between Cash and Sylvie
✔️ Morally grey characters on both sides
✔️ The Noire family and their found-family dynamic
✔️ The banter and teasing between the brothers
✔️ Connections to the KORT series
✔️ A great mix of romance, action, and suspense

🎧 Narration

Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor were phenomenal together. Samantha captures Sylvie’s sharp intelligence, stubborn determination, and refusal to be saved perfectly. Connor brings Cash’s swagger, magnetic charm, and completely unhinged obsession to life in a way that fits him so well.

Their voices complement each other beautifully, and the chemistry in their performances made this such an easy and ridiculously enjoyable listen. The duet format worked perfectly for these two, and both narrators elevated the tension and emotional moments throughout the story.

Tropes & Vibes

✔️ Billionaire Romance
✔️ Morally Grey MMC & FMC
✔️ Playboy Hero
✔️ He Falls First
✔️ Cat and Mouse
✔️ Protective Hero
✔️ Obsessive Hero
✔️ Touch Her & 💀

Final Thoughts

Stealing Blinds was exactly the kind of chaotic, sexy, suspenseful romance I wanted from another Noire brother. Cash and Sylvie have incredible chemistry, their cat-and-mouse dynamic is so much fun, and the story kept me entertained from beginning to end.

But honestly, it is the Noire family that keeps pulling me further into this series. Their dynamic, loyalty, banter, and unconditional support make this world so much fun to be part of.

I am officially in love with this entire family, and after this one, my need for Jax’s story is very real.

-Review of advance copy received from Author

This is the 3rd book I've reviewed in this series, and I loved it!
(I hope I will be chosen to review Jax's book too! He has always been the enigmatic brother I have always been excited about in the series. One of my favorite character traits is a tormented soul. They turn out to be so much more than what they appear. Their stories usually take you on a emotional rollercoaster. Especially with an Author like Brandy. She is masterful at creating them. I think everyone assumes they know Jax, and his troubles, but I have a feeling there is way more to him. I think he shows people what he wants them to see.

Frist, random thoughts I had while reading:

The way this family worked together on the final heist? It was a thing of beauty. The circus has nothing on these people. "Watch all the glam and big events the plyers are showing on stage, while the true magic is happening off stage with the people who control the event. was in AWE of Cash's con abilities and slight of hand.


Perfect quote for the whole Noire family "A crew destined for hell, but living each day in our personal utopia." -Cash

Cash's brand of courting! lol
"I will be the best goddamn friend you've had Sly. Then I'll destroy that friendship because you'll beg me to. and I'll have you panting and screaming until your throat is raw and the only thing you me to call you is mine" -Cash (the grammar error is in the book, not mine) ("and "shouldn't be in the sentence)

Perfect Quote to end the book:
"Born to beg, borrow, and steal for the morally corrupt, I think that's why they call me Sly"


I always love family dinners! They are hilarious!
Still love the "Papa Axe" nickname for Axe :D
Never fail to love "communication and scene setting via song"
Only the Noire family who play juvenile games, are also, assassins', master manipulators, master minds, cons and thieves.
Just like how I loved Axel playing with his roulette watch, I loved Cash and his cards.

The book in general was great! It was awesome that Cash had to work for her. That she wanted proof he wasn't just looking for a temporary conquest. He was looking to conqueror her, but he wanted it indefinitely. I loved that he always had always a counter argument, and/or a defense of any argument she tried to making about them being together.
Sly was someone who wanted be loved, to be cherished, but didn't realize it because she was "broken" Cash helped her realize it, and delivered it in Cash fashion. Spectacularly! There were a few grammar errors, but nothing that took away from the book. Once again I was pulled into the book, and wanted to tell everyone to "leave me alone". lol
Bravo on another awesome book!

Cover Art:
It was amazing art work, but like Maddox's cover with his knife, or Axel's with roulette wheel, (all their quirks) I wish there was like a deck of cards spread out instead of one card. The cover will still draw people in and that's all that really matters.

[Aniek]

I had no idea what exactly was heading my way when I requested this ARC, and all I can say after reading it is CASH! and: Gimme more!!

I hadn't read any of the books in this series and although I didn't need to because this truly is a standalone, I'm adding the others to my TBR and isolating myself to read them asap. WHAT a book.

Cash is arrogant. Gorgeous/sexy. Filthy rich (not that it matters to Sylvie, the FMC). Persistent. Strong. Patient (up to a point). Obsessed with Sylvie. He's one of the last two remaining single Noire brothers (the last one remaining his the youngest brother, Jax) and he's played the field until he runs into Sylvie on Mardi Gras in the French Quarter of New Orleans. He wants her, and the chase begins.

Sylvie is a thief by trade and vocation. She's strong. Funny. Smart. Gorgeous. Compassionate. Hurt by a number of events in her past related to her family. Most importantly: she's unimpressed by Cash (initially). She has a plan and intends to stick to it, and Cash is just getting in the way. That is, until he manages to chase her down and really talk to her, with some help from Sylvie's mother.

I love the push and pull of Cash and Sylvie's relationship. I loved the banter between them, and I really adore how obsessed Cash is with Sylvie and how she outsmarts him because of it. Sylvie's used to working alone and doesn't appreciate Cash's interference. She soon realises that he has his uses, but I sympathised with her - when you're used to looking after yourself for so long it's hard to let it go. Having Cash bulldoze over her was an exercise in patience sometimes but he meant well and helped her each time he did so. He's lucky Sylvie doesn't 'do' killing as he would probably never have made it past the first event he gatecrashes if that had been the case... Cash's thoughts about Sylvie, and the things he says to her, made me melt and get fired up at the same time. He wants her so badly! The tango scene? *chefs kiss*

Cash's family is so open to Sylvie that it's just heartwarming. Even though Sylvie has a family too, the family she finds on Cash's side is exactly what she needed. She adds her own skills and talents to the mix already present and fits right in.

The mystery/tension aspect of this book is well developed and kept me interested in the overall plot. There's something fishy going on and it takes Sylvie - and Cash's family - quite a while to (mostly) work it out. I enjoyed this aspect of the book a lot, as it meant that there was something other than the relationship to the plot. It also made me interested in other books by Brandy related to the secret society Kratos.

And then... the spice. *swoon* It's hot. It's spicy. Once these two get together, sorry for the cliche, but sparks fly and they each make the other work for it in their own way. I loved this book and am excited to read the others and Jax's book, whenever Brandy Hynes writes it.

Thank you to Brandy Hynes and Valentine PR & Literary Management for the ARC.

Stealing Blinds is another wild, sexy, and chaotic ride into the world of the Noire brothers, and Cash might just be one of the most entertaining Noires yet.

Cash Noire is charming, cocky, relentless, and completely convinced he can have anything he wants. So when a mysterious woman with amber eyes steals his attention and disappears, there is no chance he is letting it go.

Enter Sylvie Palmer.

A thief with secrets, a plan of her own, and absolutely no intention of becoming another woman Cash Noire charms into his bed.

I loved the dynamic between these two. Cash chasing Sylvie across the country while she repeatedly tries to keep him at arm's length was so much fun. Their banter is sharp, the attraction is immediate, and Cash becoming more obsessed with the one woman who refuses to fall at his feet made their relationship incredibly addictive.

Sylvie is smart, capable, stubborn, and completely focused on what she needs to accomplish. She doesn't need saving, and she definitely doesn't make things easy for Cash.

And Cash surprised me. What starts as attraction and a challenge slowly turns into something much deeper. The billionaire playboy suddenly wants to protect her, help her, and somehow convince her that he belongs in her plans.

The heists, art, travelling, schemes, danger, and twists kept the story moving, but Cash and Sylvie's relationship had me hooked. The chemistry is impossible to ignore, the lines between friendship and attraction blur beautifully, and watching Cash realise that Sylvie is the real treasure he is chasing was everything.

Stealing Blinds delivers everything I love about the Noire Brothers series. A completely unhinged Noire man, a strong woman who refuses to be intimidated by him, dangerous games, family chaos, sizzling chemistry, and plenty of twists.

Cash thought he was hunting a thief.

Turns out she stole a whole lot more than his attention.

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Interconnected Standalone * Mafia * Billionaire * Club Owner x Thief * He Falls First * Secrets and Lies * Found Family * Unalivings * Hidden Identity * Miscarriage * Playboy * Touch Her and be Unalived *
📖476 pages 🎧14h02
🎙️Narrated by Connor Crais & Samantha Brentmoor (Duet Audio)

Book 4 in an interconnected series that CAN be read on its own. While other characters featured in the story do have their own stories, this one provides more than enough information to understand everyone fully.

There are also connections with its predecessor series, KORT. I have not yet read that one. Again, it's not necessary to understand this story, but this specific book did mention those characters often. Now, I know I said this story stands on its own, but there are certain themes that do carry across the entire series, so it's well worth reading them all.

This series follows the Noire Brothers, and this time we follow Cash and his newfound interest, thief Sylvie. The story has darker ties with mafia, con artists, rivalries, manipulation and corruption, but continues with the same dark-cutesy vibes as the other ones.

The way these brothers care for their family and go the extra mile for their love interests is adorable. Are they obsessive and possessive? Absolutely, but they don't skirt the lines of consent and truly want a partner who fits with the entire family, not just arm candy to hide away in their apartment.

Safe to say, I am in love with this entire family. Their love and support for each other, the true found-family atmosphere, and their banter and teasing are just so much fun. I cannot wait to read the next brother's story, Jax. I'm sure I'll love him just as much as I already do.

If you have the chance to listen to this one on audio, it's well worth it (the entire series, really). The narrators truly fit the characters and their vibe. I can only imagine the amount of skill and coordination needed to make each section fit perfectly with the current vibe and tone, which is especially important in duet audio.

The mark of great narrators!

The Noire Brother series and Brandy Hynes just cannot disappoint me. This entire series ended up unexpectedly in my top reads this year.

Easy 5⭐️, KU✅, 3.5🌶️ 1st Person Dual POV

Of course I did a reread of the first 3 books before diving into this ARC, just to relive the vibe, and now I can say with confidence that I like Sly and Cash/Sylvie and Noire the most.

The pacing in this one was impeccable, the 'slower' beginning was not slow at all, but it spreads through a couple of weeks which allows the reader to understand the characters better and carefully reveal all the mystery behind the FMC. Like each Noire queen, she is very unique, but somehow her character had the most essence.

We all know Cash from previous books, but I was very entertained with his character development here. But them as a couple - so natural and easy. Him and Maddox are my favourite 🤩

A scene and a song that will live rent free in my head would be the one in the Underground and 'Money Talks'. 😄 I think I played the song and reread the chapter like 3 times.

The best part of this series is of course found family, and in this one THE HEIST. Oh how I love a good heist. And this one just adds new insight into the mystery subplot that I hope will culminate in the next book.

We get one short Jax POV and I am on edge!😄 cannot wait for next book, it has to be epic!

Now, I know that the author explains at the beginning that you don't need to read the KORT series to enjoy this one, but I think that it just adds to the vibes and that mystery subplot if you do. It all makes sense and connect beautifully. Especially if you know how KORT series ended, and so many gaps need to be filled.

And lastly, I seriously dislike that this series falls into billionaire romance category because I disagree.
This is 50% mystery, 20% romance, 20% 1920s vibes, and 100% really good time with very unique music, hilarious message exchanges, and relatable characters who just happen to have lots of money.

Thank you Valentine PR for the ARC

Brandy is exceptional at writing character chemistry, and honestly, as much as I love spice, by the time her characters finally get there, you’re sweating profusely from the yearning and tension alone. You practically combust the minute they even get their pants off! I’ve yet to read a book of Brandy’s where this hasn’t been the case.
Her writing is top notch, and I find myself glued to the pages until I'm rudely interrupted by unfortunate things like sleep or work. Haha. This entire series has been absolutely incredible.
Ok, now to this delicious book!
Holy hot damn! Cash sexy-ass Noire! WHAT A MAN!
There is nothing hotter than a man who leaves absolutely no room for miscommunication. Cash was upfront with Sylvie from the moment they met, made his intentions crystal clear and never left her guessing about where she stood with him. This was exactly what my girl needed to start building her confidence back up.
Now listen, my poor Sylvie has been let down by so many people in her life, and she has every right to be hesitant about trusting Mr Sexy Chops. But even with all that relationship trauma, how the hell could you say no to this man?!
The love they both have for their families plays such an important part in this story, particularly when it comes to sacrifice, trust and unconditional support. I also adored how the Noire family accepted Sylvie straightaway, just as they did with Zara in Axel’s story. There were no questions or reservations. They trusted Cash, recognised how he felt about her and welcomed her into the family.

And can we just appreciate how beautifully Brandy continues to weave all these stories together? Every release builds on the last, and the connections between the characters and their stories are done so incredibly well.

Brandy, you just keep getting better, and this whole series has been incredible! I cannot WAIT for Jax’s story!

I’ve been looking forward to this book for so long, and I’m incredibly grateful to Brandy and @ValentinePR for providing me with an ARC. Thank you so much!

Stealing Blinds by Brandy Hynes is the fourth, complete-standalone installment in the Noire Brothers series, delivering a thrilling, high-stakes billionaire heist romance packed with suspense, secrets, and electric chemistry.

The story follows Cash Noire—the charismatic, easygoing resort owner and billionaire playboy who hides a haunted past beneath his jokes—and Sylvie Palmer, a sly and stunning cat burglar with her own hidden agenda. After Sylvie slips away from Cash with more than just his attention, he tracks her across the country, determined to turn their game of cat-and-mouse into something permanent. As the two find themselves entangled in harrowing heists, mind-blowing escapes, and a web of lies where someone is playing them all, Cash transforms into an obsessively protective hero who proves he is ready to meet every challenge Sylvie throws his way, helping her overcome her fear of the past and learn to trust again.

Brandy Hynes masterfully weaves interconnected storylines, rewarding longtime fans by planting and resolving details across earlier books while keeping the romance fresh and deeply emotional. The narrative balances action-packed suspense, a playful-yet-fierce dynamic between the main characters, and the beloved, deeply devoted Noire family. This gripping romantic ride is brought to absolute perfection through a phenomenal duet audio performance by Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais, whose incredible chemistry, emotional depth, and stellar delivery bring Sylvie and Cash to life.

[Chantal]

Okay, so usually when I get a book by Brandy, I either:

A) Binge-read it like it’s the last thing I will ever do…

or

B) Delay reading it because I KNOW that once I start, I’m going to inhale it like it’s my last breath of air.

This time, I like to think I found some kind of middle ground. 😂

I started Thursday night and finished Sunday evening.

So… yeah.

I still inhaled it. 😂

I swear there are DRUGS IN THE PAGES of these books.

I absolutely adore Brandy’s writing style. It’s lyrical and beautiful, but it’s her characters that really pull me in. They have such intricate, complicated histories that they feel incredibly real and rooting for them becomes effortless.

And Cash…

OH, CASH.

I LOVE how completely DOWN BAD this man is. 😂 His whole “Sly and Noire” catchphrase had me grinning like an idiot.

And Sylvie? LOVED HER. Fierce, capable, and exactly the kind of FMC I enjoy.

I also adored Sylvie’s mom! Even the side characters in these books are phenomenal.

But the plot is where Brandy gets me every damn time.

The mystery, the heist, the secrets, the character histories - it’s all so intricately woven together that I was constantly trying to figure out what was actually going on.

I’m usually pretty good at predicting twists and endings, but with Brandy?

I NEVER KNOW WHAT I’M GETTING.

Things I thought I had completely figured out were NOT what they seemed, and I was constantly surprised.

She gives you just enough pieces to make you think you’ve solved the puzzle…

And then moves the damn pieces. 😂

It’s like I actually get to experience it with the characters.

Standing ovation Brandy!

[Betty Wong]

Brandy Hynes you can do no wrong! With every book in this series I fall more and more in love with your writing and these characters. I so didn’t expect to love Cash and Sylvie’s story as much as I did. But here we are.
If I had to choose a series to gush about it would be this one. Starting with Cash….who felt a little under the radar in the first books of the series, but I realize now that there was a build-up to his book as Brandy highlighted his playboy ways and his penchant for magic. He finds his match with Sylvie - who happens to be good at a different kind of con. And their match is explosive. Of course it’s so fun to watch Cash fall so hard. It’s so good to see the playboy humbled by his want to lock Sylvie down. Their love match is so fun to read. You always want chemistry for your MCs but this takes it to another level and it’s everything I want from a book.
I love my romance with a some mystery and this series brings it with every installment. You don’t necessarily need to read the other books but reading the KORT series and then reading the other books in the Noire brothers series does really bring Brandy’s magic to a different level. It’s a mastery in intertwining. The timelines and stories to bring it all together in an amazing way.
And yes it is a love story but what is even more magical is the family theme underlying the romance. How these siblings created a family that anyone would want for themselves - that is truly the best part of this book and at the centerpoint of this series. Can you tell I highly recommend this book?? Loved loved loved it!!

[Stephs.bookshelf09]

As always Brandy never doesn’t deliver a story wrapped in so much story telling and all consuming addiction. This story is about Cash Noire and Sylvie Palmer. And they were never possibly a more perfect match.

If you’ve been apart of the Brandy journey a WONDERFUL bit of news for you is this book is the book we’ve all been waiting for! It’s the piece of time that we have been busy. The little black of time from the KORT series. So you’re welcome for that teaser because all of that have been ridding that wave have been BEGGING for these answers. If you’ve haven’t read the KORT series though it’s okay you won’t be lost but I’ll keep my fingers crossed that this just teases you to go read the KORT series.

An art thief and the Noire entertainment managers of the underground truly were a match made in heaven. Cash noire is also a a master at the sly of hand, magic is his party trick, Remember to always keep your eyes open where they belong. These twos meeting may be serendipity, and complete captured the magical noire. Never have I seen a noire fall harder, completely consuming and watching him chase something was truly magical in its own way.

Do you believe if fate or destiny? Obsession leading us where we are meant to be? Many small things that never could be connected when looked at individually but when you look at it as a whole it paints a picture that you may not be able to ever see until you have it all. But maybe just maybe will make you truly be a believer.

ALC Review
Cash Noire the man that you are!!!! I devoured this one, just like I’ve done with all of Brandy’s books. Like seriously, how does she do it? Not only do we have a plot that packs a punch, but we have kickass FMCs, down bad and obsessed MMCs and a family (and found family vibes) that make me feel like I’m coming home each time!
This is book 4 in the Noire series and focuses on our playboy Cash and cat burglar extraordinaire Sylvie. When shes assigned a job shes put front and centre in Cash’s orbit and this man is mesmerised by her from the get go. What ensues is Cash gatecrashing her next job, following her around the world vowing to protect her even when he hardly knows who she is. It’s fair to say these Noire men love hard and I am here for it! The spice is top notch, chefs kiss all kinds of wonderful that had me blushing. Cash has a filthy way with words…
The audio was exceptional, Samantha and Connor brought Cash & Sylvie’s story to life I. The very best way. You could feel Sylvies vulnerability but also her strength as well as Cash’s besotted nature towards her. The possessive energy of Cash is swoon worthy!!
As always I love when we get to check I with my other favourite characters of the series especially Papa Axe!!
To say I’m excited for Jax’s story next is an understatement, he’s always been the elusive brother so I’m intrigued for what Brandy has instore for him

[Mysti]

Thank you to Brandy and VPR for the ALC!

This has been one of my most anticipated reads for the fall and it DID 👏🏼 NOT 👏🏼DISAPPOINT!

Hello CASH! Like Maddox I knew I would LOVE Cash. With this series I’ve loved the unhinged goof balls! While Ryker and Axe were completely dominate daddies, Maddox and Cash brought the fun, yet also the dominant and I’ve loved the balance Brandy brought to their characters. Cash and Sylvie had the best banter and their tension was SCORCHING HOT! Their dynamic just sucked me in from the very beginning and I couldn’t stop listening Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais were absolute master class on this audio!

What I’ve loved most with this one was the heist aspect. So we got a lot more of the other characters being more involved with the plot. Brandy balanced it so well as to not over shadow out MCs, but only bring more of the family/found family aspect in and I was eating it up! This one was exciting, balls to the walls, and the plot just coming together from the KORT series to now is freaking incredible! I loved every second!

I’m so incredibly excited to see what she has in store for us with Jax!

I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS WORLD ❤️ The noires and their found family just hold a piece of my heart and I was soooo excited to be back.

Aaaaah where do I even start… this book was mwah. 😘 Sylvie and cash… cash and Sylvie. (IYKYK) Cash wasn’t on my list of Noires to watch out for but the story, cash himself and the book blew me away and I was all in. Cash may even be on of the most intriguing personality yet and his connection to Maddox may have emphasised this for me.

I loved Sylvie back story… what she has been through and how she got to where she were made me really relate to her. Cash absolutely lost himself to her too.. Everything about them was just beautiful… I mean who can resist a playboy reformed for only her yeah… we all love a bit of that!

I love the back story of these books and honestly I think Brandy has done a spectacular job of keeping the on going storyline relevant and integrating the individual romance and private stories. And this book was no different. You are engrossed, you are involved and you want to know what’s happening, The found family trope shines, and one thing I will say is every book makes you want to be apart of this world, of this family, of their friendships… and I actually can’t wait when we finally get my favourite Noire Story Jax. Counting down until we get his story ⭐️

[Trudie]

Cash and Sylvie had me hooked from chapter one because the chemistry between these two is palpable. Like… excuse me, do we really need all this tension?!

We’ve got billionaire + heist, a playboy who falls first, secrets, lies, action, suspense, and a hero who is equal parts protective and obsessive. Cash absolutely understood the assignment.

One thing I’m always amazed by with Brandy’s books is how she weaves in details from previous books and series. These are technically standalones, but so much character development and story groundwork happens earlier in the interconnected books. And somehow, Brandy will drop a detail that was planted in a previous book, making me wonder if she has been playing 4D chess this entire time. I love seeing everything come together.

Add in a powerful family, plenty of secrets, action and suspense, and a seriously spicy romance, and you have a combination that kept me turning the pages.

And the audiobook?!

The duet narration by Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor was phenomenal. These two are always fantastic together. Their voices, chemistry, and delivery made this such an easy and ridiculously enjoyable listen.

Thank you Valentine PR for the ALC 🔥

[Kirsty]

😍🔥 Cash and Sylvie were absolute CHAOS together and I ate up every single second of it!!

Sylvie is a thief with an agenda, Cash is a billionaire playboy who decides he wants HER, and suddenly we’re getting this wild chase across the country filled with heists, danger, flirting, scheming and soooo much tension. The banter between these two was EVERYTHING. 😂

Cash chasing Sylvie while she’s basically trying to shove him straight into the friend zone had me dying. Sir was absolutely NOT interested in being her friend. 🤣 The more she tried to keep him out, the more determined he became and I freaking loved it.

And Sylvie!! I loved her so much. She’s clever, stubborn, independent and completely capable of handling herself, but underneath all of that there was so much more going on. Watching Cash realise she was actually in trouble and go from chasing her because he wanted her to genuinely wanting to protect her had me SWOONING. 🫠❤️

The chemistry was 🔥🔥🔥, the suspense kept me hooked, and then all the twists, schemes and secrets just kept coming. Every time I thought I knew where this was going, NOPE.

Cash and Sylvie were just PERFECT for each other. Two chaotic people trying to outplay each other and accidentally catching feelings along the way?! YES PLEASE.

[Karissa]

Once again Brandy has written another perfect book. The webs that she can weave not only between the Noire’s but also between series (KORT) is insane! We’re getting so much closer to having all the answers.

Cash and Sylvie may be my favorite of the couple so far. I loved how they challenged each other and that through all of the push and pull between them, there was a cosmic shift within each of them and they realized they had truly found their match.

Sylvie is a badass FMC. She’s clever, quick, kind and always looking out for others. The was she used her skills was incredible. She was so strong constantly insisting on doing things on her own, but seeing her accept help, and realize that the Noire clan was her family was so special.

I loved how each of these heists played out, watching them unfold from start to finish was so fun.

As always, the found family aspect was phenomenal.

Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor did an amazing job as Cash and Sylvie. They brought these characters to life in such a fun way! Their banter was perfect!

I can’t wait for Jax’s book!

Cash is one of the famous Noire brothers. All the women want him, but he is only good for one night of fun. Never the type to want to settle down. That is until Sylvie an intriguing burglar that catches his attention and boy does she make him work for it. These two are like fireworks when they get together and it was such a good time reading their story. A wonderful addition to this series.

Brandy Hynes writes another captivating and thrilling romance that will keep you invested and entertained throughout the entire story.

ARC REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Cash Noire, the man you are.

I KNEW Brandy was setting us up for him after Twelve Mile Limit. After watching him torture Papa Axe, I was more than ready for our favorite magician to get his MMC moment. And then in walks Sylvie, the most perfect little cat burglar, ready to steal herself a Noire while causing absolute chaos along the way.

And Cash? DOWN. BAD. Following her everywhere, basically stalking her, completely obsessed…and naturally, that’s exactly what wins her over. 😂

With the biggest heist of Sylvie’s life on the horizon, obviously the Noires had to get involved, which meant THE WHOLE GANG WAS BACK. This is what I love so much about Brandy’s books. Her FMCs somehow keep getting better, and I love how every character continues to play such a huge role in each other’s stories.

But Cash and Sylvie? Straight. Up. FIRE. 🔥 The spice was SPICING, Cash delivered every single time, and absolutely nothing got past either of them. I loved the chase, the banter, the build-up, and watching these two equally matched chaos agents fall for each other.

As usual: 5 stars. 5 peppers. No notes. Noire perfection.

Now Brandy…don’t make us wait too long for Jax!!! 👀🖤

Audio review 🎧

Narrators: Samantha Brentwood and Connor Crais

This audio is a master class in how to draw in the listener, tell a cracking good story, and ensure the audience doesn't want to miss a single second! The story itself is intricate, multi layered, and filled with passion, tension, and fun. This expanding family series is always a great read and listen, and Stealing Blinds is absolutely no exception!
Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais are incredible. The conversations and storytelling are seemless, the differentiation between characters clear and nuanced. The urgency of the heist scenes is conveyed in a manner that had my heart pounding and listening intently. The scenes of passion between Cash and Sylvie are off the charts hot while their tender scenes are totally believable. This audio has just blown me away! It is next level good and worthy of more than 5 stars💖💖💖💖💖

STEALING BLINDS by Brandy Hynes
📖 Noire Brothers
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

WELL… Cash Noire. 😏 What exactly are we supposed to do with you?!

Just finished this and I NEED you all to read it! 😂

Cash is cocky, confident and thinks he’s always in control…

Then along comes Sylvie Palmer to completely ruin that plan. 🔥

And honestly? I LOVED IT.

Sylvie is strong, guarded and absolutely not waiting around for some man to rescue her. She has her own agenda and Cash has met his match!

The chemistry? 🔥
The banter? 👌🏻
The obsession? 🖤
The chaos? Absolutely YES.

Add in heists, danger, secrets, twists, travelling and plenty of spice and I was hooked!

And watching Cash slowly realise that Sylvie has got completely under his skin… chef’s kiss. 😏

Plus the Noire family text threads! 😂
Honestly, they deserve their own book!

Brandy Hynes has done it again. This was fun, addictive and exactly what I needed 🖤

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
