Trouble
Charlee Lighton is trapped.
Living on the streets since she was a teen has given her a unique set of skills. She's been a thief for as long as she can remember, stealing people’s wallets when she was younger to eventually moving on to houses. She's almost saved up enough money to leave LA and go straight. She already has a plan; she just needs one more job to put her over and then she's gone. She just needs to find the right mark.
Grayson Thorne is hooked.
Owning his own architecture firm hasn’t exactly led to the exciting life that he had pictured. He’s bored of spending his days working, eating, or sleeping and he knows he needs to make a change. The, one chance encounter at a construction site of his leads him to Charlee. As soon as he looks into her eyes, he knows that he's found his one. When she steals his wallet and his heart and disappears into the night, he promises that he'll find her again and never let her go.
Most people would say Charlee is trouble. Grayson says that she’s his.
*Warning! This book alpha is over-the-top, head over heels in love with his girl. If you're looking for a steamy insta-love story then this book is for you!

Good
I really enjoyed this story. I have to say that I really liked Charlee’s character. She was feisty and strong yet sweet and vulnerable. She loved Grayson and she was terrified that her past life was going to destroy her new life. Grayson was the epitome of good guy. The moment he laid eyes on Charlee he was a goner, head over heels and he was determined to do everything he could to win her over. He didn’t care about her past. He understood her and saw her true heart and the path to their future.
Safety and Spoilers
Completely safe. No om/ow drama. Minor drama from h’s past life. H’s past barely talked about and h is a virgin. h had a rough upbringing and spend most of it homeless. No abuse.

Trouble has arrived
Great story once again by Shaw Hart. She writes the best characters. I love how her male characters just lose their minds over the females. Gives me the good feels.
-virgin h, no details on H past
-no cheating
-no abuse
-dual POV
-insta-love
-we get a look 1 year and 10 years into tje future
I liked how in this one, there wasn't alot of emphasis on h being a virgin. It wasnt constantly brought up and the sexy times was steamy and loving. Now, onto the next by Ms Hart...can't wait.

Pretty okay novella with some steam.
Charlee has been living the criminal life shes a thief and she been living in abanonded houses until her next job. And she gets caught by Grayson who is stunned and already wants to marry her. As for Grayson he found his one he doesn't care if she robbed him he keeping looking for her checking houses, streets everywhere. And once he spots her at his house returning his wallet he's made it his mission to make sure she never leaves his side again. As for Charlee girlll she had a plan bit she folded when she feel for him.. telling him what she was going to do.. but lets be honest Grayson would probably let her rob him and smile then drag her to the bedroom lol.
No ow/om drama, no cheating, slight drama, sexy time, virgin gal no manwhore guy
Recommend- yes
Cover-⭐⭐⭐
Instalove/lust
Older/younger couple

This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable.
Charlee Lighton is homeless and survives by being a thief. Whilst living rough, she meets a handsome man. Grayson Thorne is an architect with his own company. When he meets Charlee, he is hooked. Problem is, she keeps disappearing. When Grayson gets to spend time with Charlee again, he is determined to get her to stay.
The chemistry between Charlee and Grayson is clear to see and I liked them as a couple. I liked that Grayson was determined to make Charlee his. I liked that he didn’t judge Charlee for the things that she did to survive.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read.

Charlee is such a doll... She doesn't put up with nothing... Grayson is such a sweetheart.. Charlee had a hard life until she meet Grayson... She didn't really have a mother and she didn't know who her dad was.. Charlee had to e a tough, take no mess and survive by any means necessary.. Grayson had both parents growing up and he lost his dad a few years and he and his mom have dinner once a week and brunch or lunch another day of the week.. Charlee met Grayson because she was staying in a house that he had designed. she picked his pocket and Grayson know from that moment that she was meant to be with him... It took Charlee a lit bit longer..

Grayson and Charlee
A bit disappointed with this one, I am afraid. Don't get me wrong, the premise was real good and the plot also. So hood! It just needed more time to develop not only the story but the characters also, in my opinion anyway. Loved Grayson! He is perfect for the tough Charlee. She really didn't know what yo fo with him😉😈

Lots of twists and turns in this one!
Charlee had a horrific childhood with her drug addict mother. She had to steal to live. Back then she stole food and small change, now she steals diamonds and emeralds.
Unfortunately, she is working with some very unsavory men and they are about to betray her.
Will Grayson be able to save her in time?

Very sweet book. Gotta love Grayson 🙂

A thief and an architect, a successful one at that, apparently made a great couple; never seen that coming. The story was short but filled with great details and bits of actions in the beginning. The plot and rimance was build up nicely, though the ending was bit anticlimax for me. I mean she's literally living dangerously on the other side of the law, but she just leave, like that?! Just leaving with no scratch, because of pure luck?! But, oh well, it was sweet and all rainbow here, no worries.

I'm loving it
Can't get enough of Shaw Hart's hot Insta-loves. The men fall crazy in love and the women can't help but fall too, no matter the circumstances like in Trouble.
