Steal Me
I'm a liar and a thief, here to steal everything Ana values most. She's tiny, while I'm twice her size. It makes me hot as f*ck, just thinking of all the possibilities... She's soft and luscious. I'm as hard as the rocks I steal. Tiny, gorgeous and brilliant, she's going to be the hottest jewel I've ever stolen. And, unlike an ice cold diamond, she's going to scream my name... as I take her over and over again. I'm in this to the end. Just don't ask me to choose Ana's heart, or that big blue diamond hanging around her neck? Somehow, I've got to steal them both.

Max is a jewel thief for a Russian named Sergei, who just happens to be his Uncle.
Ana works at a museum that is Max's next target.
Ana starts out thinking that Max is such a gentleman. Max starts out thinking she will be an easy to manipulate target.
You know in movies when you are constantly yelling at the girl asking her what is she thinking? I was doing this to Ana.
His conscience finally gets to him.
Gradually as time went on you could feel him switching from thief and liar to lover and protector.
What's going to happen when Ana finds out Max has been lying to her? What's going to happen when she finds out he has fallen in love with her?
Oh the mystery, the suspense, the danger. I freaking love it.
Ladies and gents I highly recommend reading this. I think it's the best Riley has written so far and that's saying a lot. I love her work.
Steam factor 8

Holy moses, this heroine was probably the most naive and dumb character I have encountered this year!
I do unterstand that letting Max into her life and trusting him with her work served a purpose for the storyline, but it simply made Anna a completely dumb person in the process.
Who in his right mind would offer a man, someone that she even admitted she knew nothing about after a week of 'dating', to check out a diamond worth millions upon millions? I wouldn't let that guy even remotely near that thing, let alone offering to inspect it with someone who waltzed into my life just days prior!
Someone so blindly trusting a virtual stranger with years of research, your entire career, basically, and a gemstone that was worth so much is just stupid. Plain and simple.
Maxim, on the other hand, was a character I really enjoyed in this book (and probably the biggest reason this book gets 3 stars from me!)
Honestly, the writing is really good, the storyline decent and the pacing very well done. If only it weren't for miss 'I trust strangers with my work that's worth billions', this book would've gotten a much better rating from me.

I found this book fascinating and interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. What you will find in this book is: a master jewel thief tasked with stealing back a family legacy (Max aka Panther), a disillusioned woman (Ana), drama, intrigue, suspense, twists & turns, Russian mafia, danger, enemies, betrayal, threats, lust, emotional feelings, love and erotic scenes. The story-line and plot is well thought out and written and keeps the reader’s attention. The characters are well developed with personalities and moods suited to the situations they find themselves in. This is a well written romance with a HEA and I would recommend this book to people that like to read this kind of book, I doubt that you would be disappointed.

Ana is a collections specialist focused on bringing the Blue Diamond, the subject of legend, from the Smithsonian to her museum to place it with the remaining Russian Jewel Collection. Max is an experienced jewel thief tasked with the retrieval of the Blue Diamond to return it to his family in Russia, the rightful owners. His plan is to seduce the collections specialist into giving him the coveted jewel. The plan is simple in theory but becomes complicated when love and greed becomes embroiled in the project. Exciting action scenes, intense emotional moments and breathtaking resolutions. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. Five stars.

TITLE OF BOOK: STEAL ME
AUTHOR OF BOOK: RILEY ROLLINS
DATE READ: FEBRUARY 25, 2017 – February 26, 2017
CAN A RUSSIAN MAFIA THIEF AND AN AMERICAN MUSEUM COORDINATOR FIND LOVE AND HAPPINESS IF HE IS THERE TO STEAL HER PRIDE AND JOY OF THE MUSEUM?
I have been reading the work of Riley Rollins since she wrote “Axl: Sons of Chaos MC” and love all her work. She hasn’t been writing long, but she hasn’t yet written a book that I didn’t like. You do not want to miss “Steal Me.” It will most assuredly steal your heart as well!!!!
“Steal Me” is the story of Maxim Anton Kozlov and Ana Catherine Petrova. Maxim who was known to the Bratva as the “Pantera” (panther). He is the nephew to Russian Mafia boss Sergei Kozlov and his favorite. Whenever Sergei or anybody else needed something stolen, they went to Maxim. After a specific heist, Sergei tells Maxim that he has a very important job for him. One that means a lot to him and his family. He is to go to America and steal back for the family a very large and expensive blue diamond that was given to their ancestor Anton Kozlov by Catherine the Great. Maxim and his cousin Savvin plan this heist for three years before putting it into motion. Ana Petrova is the museum coordinator who spent years studying the Strastnyy Blue Diamond and she was Maxim’s target. Everything was planned and he was supposed to work Ana till she gave him everything he wanted. Nothing prepared him for the woman he met. He just didn’t count on her soft luscious body that him as hard as the rocks he steals. Not only was he going to steal the Strastnyy Diamond, but Ana was the other hot jewel he was going to steal.
Ana Petrova is the museum coordinator and she is the one that has been putting together the deal to have the Strastnyy Diamond sent to the Hillyard Museum so she could finally prove it was the real deal, and it was to be added to the Russian Jewel display they were planning. She was so tired of meaningless relationships with men who just wanted to get her into bed. Plus, she must work with her boss Stu who she tried to date but he did nothing for her. Yet he still wants her. So, he makes her life miserable at the museum. Her dream man was Anton Kozlov who’s portrait hangs in her museum, and he is the Russian who was in love with Catherine the Great, and the one she gave the Strastnyy Diamond to because she loved him and couldn’t have him. Ana’s friend Terry who works in the museum lets her know she has a visitor and one she was going to want to meet. Ana nearly fainted when she thought she was looking at the ghost of Anton Kozlov. He introduces himself as Max Ivanov. Max is hiding things from Ana, yet he wants her and she wants him. Nothing prepared her for his lies and deceit.
Can Ana ever forgive Max for his lies and deceit? Will she ever be able to trust him again? Will Max choose Ana’s heart, or the Strastnyy Diamond and family? Is there any way he can steal them both?
No Spoilers. Advanced Reader Copy read and not put down till I had finished it.

Steal Me was slightly more entertaining than the bonus book that was included. Only because there was a little bit more suspense to keep me interested. Both were overly dramatic and flowery.
My Beautiful Killer was about kidnapped girl who witnesses a mob hit and gets taken by the killer because he isn't supposed to leave any witnesses behind....and of course he falls in

Another great book by Riley! Max is so hot! I went in thinking oooo mafia! This was a little different from the mafia stories I have read. It was so passionate.
Ana was not what Max had in mind when he agreed to take back what rightfully belonged to his family. She was so much more. You could feel the electricity between them just reading. The more Max got to know Ana, the more he knew he had to so something, come clean, tell her more about himself, but could he do it without the expense of her heart? This kept me reading and I loved the outcome.

Max is a Russian jewel thief sent to steal Strastnyy blue diamond from a museum hiding the royal Russian jewels.
Ana works for the museum that is taking possession of the blue diamond.
Max's initial plan is to seduce the woman who works for the museum. That is until he meets her in person. Now he has to try to find away to get the diamond and keep the girl. His partner in crime has bigger idea, why take just the diamond when they can take all the jewels?
Action packed page turner. Loved the dilemma, which is more important love or job?

This story will suck you in instantly. A jewel thief Max is tasked with bringing home a family jewel. Ana is the unlucky collection specialist that is bringing the jewel to her museum.
Ana is a hopeless romantic and Max is using that to his goal. Little did either know the chemistry between them.
This was an action packed story. Ana does let her feelings get in the way a lot and that turns to trouble for her. Max's guilt eats him up and you see his transformation slowly happen.
Mac's partner is just insane.
I loved how this story unfolded. It was fast paced and intense.

Great book
This was 2 books in one. Was a surprise to find out. I enjoyed Steal Me, thought it could be longer, more detail, it was too short, more a novella than a novel. I like the twist at the end. Catherine and Anton live on.
The 2nd book was good. Some grammar mistakes but nothing that pulled away from the book. It was fast paced, good length, a few questions left unanswered, but I enjoyed reading about Dane and Abby.

Each time I pick up a book written by author Riley Rollins, I’m rewarded with another five-star, spellbinding and magnificently crafted story that boasts steady-paced and seamlessly woven plots and sub-plots, steamy sex scenes, lust-worthy and intelligent heroes, independent yet endearing heroines, and a backstory/behind-the-scenes worth caring about. There is always lots of action, psychological drama, and emotional epiphanies for the bad boy, and strong secondary characters that help build up the story and drive it to a satisfying resolution, instead of simply weighing it down as the storyline’s scapegoat.
Steal Me captivates and holds the reader’s attention from start to finish, and experiencing the depth of the emotional connection Ana and Maxim share is almost as fulfilling for the reader as the hotter than h*ll sex scenes, the kind that make you want to dive into a cold plunge.
Rollins is one of those “doesn’t miss” authors – you can always count on her to deliver an original and intoxicating read. Every time.

Really great story. Her roommate convinces to go and pay for her fantasy adventure with this very expensive exclusive place. He works for them and ends up with her fantasy. The policy is no socializing outside of the fantasy or you get hurt. It is exciting, suspenseful, hot, steamy. It is well worth reading. I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.

Max and Ana are destined to be together in this steamy, romantic tale of a deception and intrigue. Max is a jewel thief, his prize is a long lost family jewel, presented to Max's ancestor, Anton Kazlov by Catherine the Great. His carefully planned heist from the museum where it's going to be displayed is turned upside down when he meets Ana, the woman putting together the exhibit which will feature the legendary diamond known as the Strastnyy Blue.
Max is the embodiment of everything Ana wants in a man, but will she be able to forgive him when she discovers the truth? What will happen when Max has to choose between love and family? The passion between Max and Ana is breathtaking, the story well-plotted and well-written. Steal Me is a great read and I really enjoyed it. 4.5 Stars.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Even though it has elements of the Russian Mafia, it isnt heavily written about, which I liked even more.
Max has been sent to Washington DC to retrieve a precious family heirloom, The Strastnyy Blue, by any means necessary! He's been studying Ana and the jewel for 3 years. He didn't realise that as soon as he would meet Ana, everything would change!
Ana is working on a certain collection for the Museum that she works for and there is one painting in their collection that she's loved forever! So when Max shows up, looking practically identical to it, sparks fly!
She feels comfortable when she with him. She slowly let's her guard down around him and reveals more to him than she probably should!
So, who should Max choose? The precious family heirloom or the wonderful Ana? Can't he just have both, you say? Well give it a read and find out what happens!
This book is definitely for you if you love a bad boy element, Mafia, suspense, and a fierce, protective Alpha male. I really did enjoy this book. It was well written. The story flowed perfectly from one scene to the other and nothing seemed left out! It also had a few twist and turns along the way. And a few creepy bad guys, but hey that's what you get when there's a Mafia thief involved!

NOTE: I received an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.
Let me start by saying I never spoil a book in a review (including any emotional moments or sudden surprises I may have experienced) > why ruin YOUR experience whether it be the plot, emotional journey of it, etc.
Steal me I found to be of course a 'Bad Boy Romance'; it starts off with nothing but " this shouldn't end well" as you have probably read the synopsis.
I loved the main two characters Ana and Max - but found all the characters in the book to be easy to understand and yet complex enough to be seen as "real".
Riley Rollins did a great job at giving a book that has some small laugh moments, some suspense and as is the point: Romance. It's a bad boy romance so expect a hot scene or two...
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it from start to end; and honestly didn't put it down to do more than eat, sleep and the like.
If you haven't read the author before she does a great job at giving a good story, good characters, and a good read.
I would highly recommend getting yourself this book if you want something to escape to, to enjoy or to feel passionate love.
Also, if you have read by Riley Rollins before - you'll definitely enjoy this read too.

I received an ARC for Steal Me and voluntarily reviewed this book. Max is known to the Bratva as "Pantera" or "the panther," one of the best jewel thieves around. He is sent to the US to recover the Strastnyy Diamond as one very special favor to his uncle. Ana had always admired the painting of Anton Kozlov, but when a man shows up showing an uncanny resemblance to the portrait, she is absolutely floored and struck with lust. Luckily for him, she is in charge of organizing the Russian jewel exhibit, so Max will use that attraction to gain her trust, not that it would be a hardship for him to endure in any way. This super-intense attraction between them, however, throws him for a loop, as well as his partner's lack of patience, making him rethink their jewel heist plans.
What a steamy-sexy story, and so well told! Interesting history is incorporated into the storyline as well as well-developed characters. Max is a liar and a thief. But he is also a gentleman and utterly caring and careful with Ana. This is my first story from this author, and this one made me an instant fan. She has a way of weaving a scene with her words so that as a reader, you feel you get more than just the description, you get the emotional components as well. I cannot wait to read what she writes next!

Maximus is an international jewel thief and part of the Russian Mafia, He has been sent on a mission by his uncle to steal back a family heirloom,
a ring that has been in their family for generations, Max also looks exactly like his ancestor that the ring belongs to.
Max is very thorough in his research, he knows everything he needs to know about the museum and the museum director that he needs, all but one, she is so much more beautiful in person then in the photos he has of her.

This was the first book for me by this author and I really enjoyed it. Steal me follows the characters of Maxim Kozlov, or Pantera as he is known in the Bratva, one of the best jewel thieves in the world who is sent to America by his uncle to steal the famous Strastnny Blue from the Hillyard Museum. And Ana Petrova, the beautiful woman responsible for organizing the Russian Jewel exhibit which is why the famous diamond is being brought to the museum where she works. When the pair meet, sparks fly and Ana finds herself drawn to Max, who looks remarkably like the painting of Anton that she has been in love with. As Max gets to know Ana more, will he be able to put aside his new feelings for the American beauty? Or will he push everything they’ve shared away and steal the heirloom diamond for his uncle?

I received this book in advance for an honest review. Loved it!! Ana works at a museum and is working on obtaining a Russian jewel for an exhibit. Max has been studying Ana, the museum and the jewel that he has been sent to steal. It gets more complicated for Max the more time he spends with Ana. Max has a partner that goes rogue and puts the heist and Ana in danger. Max has to choose between the ancestral jewel and Ana. Hot, fun, and sexy. Great read.
