Rate this book
Kate I lived by six I was a charmer, a seducer, and the woman men were hungry to get their hands on. Rich men never should have trusted me, but they did. Things were going well until I ripped off the wrong millionaire. A millionaire who came after me with a vengeance. His name was Gabriel, and I was falling for him. Gabriel Kate Harper was captivating and had my attention the moment I laid eyes on her. But she was far from the person she said she was. After parting ways at JFK airport, I discovered she ripped me off. I never thought I’d see her again, but fate stepped in, and we crossed paths. This time I wasn’t letting her go until her debt to me was paid. Of course, she was every kind of wrong, but that didn’t stop the feelings that emerged while I kept her in my possession. 18+

I round it up because of the hero.
Do I think she ever felt remorse for doing that? No.. She said one time she did but her actions said another!

What she had been done, five millions she has been stole from men? No punishment n just have a HEA with a family? oh, u just kidding me.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy reading it but it's really seems out of reality that she was con, he did kidnapped her, both of them r criminals. In the book, they just painted as victims, they lost, they were force something they didn't want to, I want to argue that's not true.

Kate's father really give her a way out but she thinks stay in is the better choice. Gabriel did has his own choice to report the crime but he didn't, now with this ending, maybe give us an excuse.

What can I say except I absolutely love this book. Sandi Lynn is the queen of millionaire romances. Kate and Gabriele's story isn't your typical romance, but it will melt you just the same.

Kate Harper is a beautiful woman of many faces. She seduces men to get what she wants. Men were stupid and fell for her charms. She had a shell around her heart that was unbreakable until she ripped off the wrong millionaire who took her plans and turned her world upside down.

Gabriel Quinn was charmed by mystery woman on a plane and she did more than just take his breath away. Once he realized what she'd done, he was determined to make her pay.

What you will see in this story is that things aren't always what they seem, and things don't always turn out how you planned.

The thing I love about this book is the raw emotions felt and expressed. I became so emotionally vested in both Gabe and Kate that I don't know who I love more. As always, the chemistry is off the charts and passion will definitely steam up some windows. I can promise you that you won't be able to put this book down. I give this book 5 millionaire stars!

There were a couple things that got really annoying about this book.

Whenever the characters made a facial expression it was with one eye only. I was beginning to think they only had one eye. He narrowed his eye. He squinted his eye. And so the list goes on.

The storyline was pretty good until it started getting closer to the end of the book. I felt like the ending was really cliched and I couldn't handle the female MC's behavior when she was pushing him away. It just felt like it was added for drama.

Unfortunately this was a DNF.

Simply Amazing

OMG Sandi has done it yet again. Simply loved this story.

Kate Harper is an amazing con artist as she is coming home to New York she meets a handsome man on the flight. They get talking and as soon as they land in JFK airport they are told there is a delay in their baggage. They go for a drink and one thing led to another they ended up in a toilet. Then Kate stole his $30000 watch but he didn't know about it till he was on the way home.

Gabriel Quinn is a big Ceo of the Quinn hotel chain. When he was conned by a girl called Hannah aka Kate for stealing his watch he tries to track her down until one night at a fundraiser he recognized her by her smile and approached her as she was conning a very good friend of his. Gabriel takes her home to her place packs a bag then brings her to his townhouse were he tells her she won't be leaving until he gets his watch back or the $30000 she owes him for it. Kate tells Gabriel she hadn't got it or the money to pay him back. So Gabriel holds her prisoner until the debt is paid. He said if she tries to escape he has security on all exits.

During the time Kate was there Gabriel formed a plan in order for her to pay him back she must have sex with him once a day for one month with only sexy underwear.

Gabriel has formed more of an attachment to Kate and wanted to know her better and know how her life was growing up.

Gabriel was opening up a new hotel in Hawaii and seen one of his rivals talking to Kate. Gabriel let her in on a secret about a new hotel he was planning in Vegas. When Gabriel found out that his rival back stabbed him with his idea he blamed Kate for leaking the information but she didn't. His trust for Kate diminished and split the two of them up and broke Kate's heart. Gabriel said so many hurtful things to her and told her to pack her bags and leave as he couldn't bare to look at her.

This story is well worth a read there is more I could tell but I won't ruin it. Stunning work from Sandi

He laters sees her at a gala and decides, she was going to give him back his watch or money. An arrangement is made, but they can not control their growing feelings for each other. But can he trust her? Well I will save some for you to read. Great book!

It runs in the family

Why was $30k watch important to a billionaire?
Who was the heroine paying money to? Why?
Why didn't they come after her or kill her dad during those 30 days she was a kept woman? How and why did the hero get her dad out of prison? Why give him a job at his hotel? Their sex was hotly well developed and described. With her being a con and her dad doing time for getting caught as a con how is this relationship even possible? Trust issues aside. I thought to myself as I was reading if the heroine isn't happy with her allowance, she can go lift another watch. I also thought she would make the best Halloween costumes for her kids given her experience with recreating her identity so many times. Haha. Silly stupid story.

Playing The Millionaire

I didn't love this but I didn't hate this either. Con-woman steels expensive watch from businessman after a hot romp in an airport lounge bathroom. Businessman gets highly angered after running into her a month later after finding her conning a friend of his.

If you can suspend reality and just have fun with this you'll enjoy it. But, there was a lot of unrealistic and ridiculous aspects. I'm not going to name them because I don't want to ruin this for readers who can have a more open mind. I think if I knew ahead maybe I could have enjoyed it more.

This is another enjoyable read by Sandi Lynn. Kate is a con-artist, that you can't help but like her. Kate is good at our job, until she cons the wrong man, Gabriel. Gabriel and Kate's relationship does not run the normal course of true love, and how could it when lies and kidnapping are involved. These two may not always like each other, but they sure know how to heat a bedroom or an airport bathroom lounge!
I have to say, there were times, I thought Gabriel wasn't worth the trouble, and Kate should have gone for his very artist type brother.

A great story about two beautiful peop!e coming together in such.bizzare circumstances. It's sassy, humourous, and keeps the ages turning as the love that forms between them is of.the.purest kind. Don't !et. this one s lol away it's bril!iant.

Great story, has all the makings for a best se!!er. Not quite the norm for a romance novel, but a refreshing change. Which I think the reader, like me, will be pleasantly surprised.

Everything about this book felt right, even if it shouldn't have. In real life I am pretty it would be insane, but OMG it felt so good just to read and imagine it. Any man within there right man would never do what Gabriel(hero) did but it was so satisfying the way it turned out.

For me everything was perfect, MCs, plot, story, romance, chemistry, even if there were plot holes. Bit guess what bitches, I don't care.

I really really don't wanna let any spoilers, so just read it.

Sandi Lynn never fails with her stories

Sandi Lynn just gave us another millionaire to fall in love with. Gabriel and Kate are the perfect match. They actually bring out the best in each other. They are the not so perfect couple you need to see together. I also love the relationship they both have with Gabriel's brother Caleb. Would love to read Caleb's story.

Absolutely loved it, great story line, characters too. I was shocked that Kate was a con artist but as the book unfolded we learnt why she did what she did. Loved Gabriel, quiet funny going after her for stealing his watch but happy ending is they fell in love n awww cute little family now.

Thoroughly Good Read

I have read most of Sandi Lynn's books and have enjoyed them. This one was no exception. I thought it was clever and loved all the characters. I liked the ending however it became a little 'airey fairy' with the Mystic Rose character so I skimmed through the last few chapters. Still an enjoyable read.

Love!!!

As usual, Sandi Lynn never fails to deliver! Each book is unique. I've not read anything like this and didn't expect it to turn out like it did! I loved that! Gabriel and Kate's story is one for the record books. Kate's is especially heartbreaking. True love always prevails! Highly recommend!

A Happy Con

What a sweet love story. A Happy ending. With a dog and babies. They had ups and downs, they had anger . But in the end, they found real life, even though they went through a lot to get there. Great writing Sandi Lynn, you never disappoint.
