Pamela Aares never disappoints me. In this latest edition of her Tavonesi Series we meet Ava & Hunter. Heiress Ava works at an exclusive dating service, which doubles as a front for her undercover work. Hunter owns a successful security company, but moonlights as a Robin Hood type thief, righting the wrongs of his family’s past. When these two meet & start working together to solve the mystery of a stolen statue, things get interesting. If you are a fan of romantic suspense (think Barbara Freethy or Nora Roberts) I think you’ll really enjoy this book! Lots of secrets, lots of chemistry, lots of fun! Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down.

Another fast-paced mix of mystery and romance that readers of this author have come to expect.

Complex plot with art theft, hidden agendas and love at first sight (even though took awhile for them to realize it)

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**

I'm so excited to be starting off the year by visting the Tavonesi series! I've enjoyed each and every book that Pamela Aares has penned in this series and Love Thief was no exception!

Ava DuBarry is an heiress who works for Time For Love, an exclusive dating company, however there is much more to this woman than meets the eye.

Hunter Sterling is a security expert who runs an amazingly successful company, but who is also a thief who works to right the wrongs of others in the dark of night.

When a priceless statue is stolen from the DuBarry's art museum during a gala unveiling it, Ava seeks out Hunter to work with her to find the item so precious to her mother. As they enter into the partnership, it's clear that not only is there a mutual attraction, but they are both keeping secrets as well. Will they be able to work together to get to the bottom of who has the statue or will all of the secrets lead to more issues?

This book truly had a bit of everything! It had intrigue, passion, mystery, action and romance. The characters had undeniable chemistry and I enjoyed watching how Ava and Hunter came to terms with their newfound feelings and how to handle them especially when they both were also holding things close to the vest. Not to mention I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who really had stolen the statue.

Pamela Aares has a knack for writing amazingly descriptive and detailed books that make you feel like you are right there with the characters. Love Thief has definitely stolen a piece of my heart and I would highly recommend picking up a copy for yourself!

Pamela Aares has never disappointed me. Her books have intriguing plots and unforgettable characters. In this, the 11th book in her series of the Tavonesi Family, we meet Ava and Hunter. In the Love Thief we meet a kind of Robin Hood. Just how will he help Ava find a stolen art work? Love Thief had me guessing until the very end. Ms. Aares has always provided the reader with strong characters and great depth. I have read all of Pamela Aares books and have never been disappointed. I am always looking for the next one. Although you can read each book as a stand alone. I find it easier to meet the characters in the order in which she has written them.

Love Thief was a beautifully written love story. Ava and Hunter are both amazing characters who had to overcome lies, deception and trust issues to find their happily ever after. Their story was great from beginning to end! I love the Tavonesi series and look forward to the next book. I hope some of the secondary characters from the Love Thief get their own story, especially Darcy.

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary Advance Reader Copy.

Nice mix of suspense and romance

Have loved this series from the very beginning. Whether it’s baseball oriented, or Vineyard oriented, or semi-standalone, the series has been thoroughly entertaining all the way.
