When you have wealth and the respect of everyone around you, it’s easy to forget how to live in the moment. There’s only so much ass-kissing a man can handle.
But life can be very lonely at the top, and it’s caused me to be reclusive and keep to myself. I focus on work, with no time for women. I’ve grown hard and distant with everyone, including my family.
But when I come across Macy, a sexy little street thief who thinks I’m an easy target to pickpocket, I turn the tables on her. Who says blackmail can’t be sexy?
She’s only supposed to be my company for a dinner party, but the more time I spend with Macy, the more I realize she’s got layers that fascinate me.
I realize that one night won’t be enough. I need all of her. I need her as mine.
Now I just have to show her that there are much more enjoyable ways to get sticky fingers.
NOTE: Jenika and Jordan have teamed up again to bring you a sexy little story about a broody, alpha businessman who’s met his match, even if a little blackmail is involved. But don’t worry ... she likes it.
I'm just a simple small town country girl, haunted by Alpha Men who talk in my head 24 hours a day.
I knew I wanted to write when it became clear I couldn't be happy with just viewing other people's stories. I always wanted to rewrite them.
Like why did Jack have to die? Why couldn't Rose move her butt over? Because that was a huge piece of wood she was on, people.
Happy Endings should be fought for, but they should always happen. Mine might take some curves and twists, but they eventually get there.
Having published over fifty stories, it always feels surreal that this is my life. Hitting USA Today had me crying for days, but nothing is more special than hearing from readers that they loved one of my books.
I love it when these two authors get together you get a fast fantastic steamy story.
Macy is used to taking care of herself and getting by on her street smarts alone but she picks on the wrong person the day that she picks Braden’s pocket. When he chases her down and gives her two options she knows that she has met her match. As she gets to know him could they have possibly have something real growing between them or is this all a fantasy?
Braden is the quintessential workaholic, although he has never had to worry about where his next meal is coming from he has lived and breathed work until his little sister Tabby arrived and stole his heart. After meeting the feisty Macy he sees a way of getting back at his father until he sees past her sassy attitude and gets a glimpse of the real person hiding beneath. Could he really be falling for his little thief and will she want what he is offering, him forever?
Sweet and fabulously written short story perfect to steal away for an hour to read. Highly recommended.
This is the first book that I have read from this writing duo. I have read many books by Jenika and I love her books but this is the first book that I have read from Jordan and I have to say, I loved it. I will be reading more from Jordan. I have added another author to my list of favorites. I loved Braden and Macy. They had so much chemistry from the first time they met and it went from there. She tries to fight any attraction that she has for him because they do come from different worlds. Love doesn't care where you come from, if it is meant to be, it will happen. Braden and Macy will find that out. If you are looking for a quick and dirty read, you need to pick this up. You will not be disappointed.
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
A very smexy love insta love romance, in which our big bad hero confronts the heroine, a pickpocket and blackmails her into being his date for the evening. There is lust, some hot lovemaking, some stupid drama, loads of sex and HEA.
I really enjoyed this story. I loved Macy and how strong she was and didn’t cave to Braden because her libido was going crazy. I loved how she gave as good as she got and almost made this man crumble to his knees. He was definitely not expecting her! These two couldn’t have been more perfect for one another! I would have liked to know why she was a pickpocket and how she began.
Safety and Spoilers Completely safe. No om/ow drama. Minor drama with H’s family and then the media but it was all very minor. H had been celibate for years and h is a virgin. No abuse.
When these two authors get together, you know the story is gonna be hot! I loved the connection between Braden and Macey. She may be young, but she has lived a rough life. When Braden offers her a chance at a different life, she decides to take it, even though she's scared. Braden can't help but fall for her the more he gets to know her. Will they be able to stay together when her past shows up? The only thing I missed was what happened to people who broke "the story". You'll know what I'm talking about when you read the book!!! Other than that, I really loved this book!!!
Macy was funny, sassy and street smart she knew how to work a crowd to her advantage, and she picked the wrong guy to steal from. Braden a hardcore workaholic and no time for anyone besides tabby his 5 year old sister when he can. Gets alittle Star-struck when Macy bumps into him.. watching her walk away until he notices she robbed him. Cat and mouse games start.. she's caught and sorta blackmailed into dinner at his snobby parents place. The banter between the two is hawtttt!! And even if at first it wasn't suppose to be more Braden fell.. and fell hard.. even when Macy past is now public..
No ow/om drama, no cheating, dramaish, sexy times, Not a manwhore celebite & a virgin gal
Recommend -Maybe Cover-⭐⭐⭐⭐
Instalove/lust Slight push/pull from h Safe Slight Anal play No condom Older/younger couple Hea Epilogue
The story starts with Macy pickpocketing Braden but he caught what she's up to and ran after her. He was struck by her beauty and blackmailed her to be his date on his father and stepmother's wedding anniversary or else he'll call the police. Seeing she has no option she agreed to his plan. They spent two days before the actual event and they decided not to separate after the end of the night.
Braden was obsessed with Macy and was planning to keep her whatever it takes. Macy was annoyed at first with Braden cuz he was so smug about catching her but she was also attracted to him and eventually gave in to the attraction.
Overall, this was a fun short read. Ott ridiculous but I liked it.
Note: Braden was celibate for years, it wasn't mentioned how long and Macy is a virgin.

She’s a pick pocket who steals his wallet only for him to catch her. He is supposed to go to his father’s and step mother’s anniversary party and he decides the perfect revenge for his dear father would be to bring this urchin to the party. So he threatens her with the police or go to this party with him. She does not want to go to jail.
Bit of a pretty woman scene where he buys her a bunch of clothes. He wants her bad… and he realizes pretty quickly that he wants her as his always. 🔥🔥🔥🔥scenes with hj and bj. She’s a v.
Epilogue- married with twins - boy and girl and they adopt his neglected sister

Macy makes her living relieving the rich of their wallets in order to survive. Too bad she picked the wrong mark. Now he is blackmailing her to attend a dinner with his father and stepmother. Braden knows he has lost his mind as the beautiful thief is perfect for his plan and yet he also wants her for himself. He is determined to gain Macy's trust and then her heart. Macy has never had anyone and the fact that she wants Braden is terrifying. Is there any way that Macy can get what she truly wants or will it all end in heartache?
Holy hotness, Batman! Oh my, these ladies know how to steam things up to the level of molten lava! Macy is street smart and works with what she has. She doesn't even acknowledge to herself how empty her life is. Braden is smart and laser focused on what he wants. He sees Macy and knows that he has just been going through the motions. She makes him feel, breathe. Once he decides, he doesn't deviate from his intention to spend the rest of his life with Macy. I could have spent ages more time living in this story if I could, I loved Macy and Braden so much! Many thanks to Jenika Snow and Jordan Marie for teaming up and giving us these smoking hot stories!!

If your looking for a quick and dirty read, be sure to pick this one up.
The insta attraction at the beginning is so quick it makes your head spin but if you can get past that, it's a really sweet but yet very steamy book.
Braden for a lack of a better term is lonely. He is holed himself up so much that he doesn't interact with people that much and only if he has too. He's rough, demanding and wants what he wants when he wants it. This is how Macy came into the picture. Though spending time with her, he realizes that he wants more. He wants her and he wants to protect her. Even though this is a quick book, the character growth of Braden was done really well.
Macy was someone at first I wasn't sure about. However she did start to grow on me when she started letting her guard down. You realize that she has walls for a reason and its beautiful when she accepts the love and attention that Braden brings to her.
These two authors on their own are amazing but together they are a force to be reckoned with. Sticky Fingers is a fast paced sizzling hot romance that will grip you and have you unable to put this story down. Macy and Braden have a connection from that very first moment their eyes meet. She thought that stealing his wallet would be the answer but when he ends up stealing her heart will she keep her walls down or build them back up to keep it safe. A story that is steamy, emotional and overflowing with passion that will have your fingers tingling from the sparks that erupt from this couple.
First of all Jordan and Jenika!! I love when these two get together to bring us a smoking hot story.
Now, what to say about this book as it is a novella. I don't want to give away the whole book. So, let's just say, OMG peeps, read it. I loved Macy's spirit even though she won the crappy life lottery. Braden was more fortunate but money doesn't necessarily give you what is missing on the inside. When these two collided, it was a treat to watch them tear each other's walls down and then tear each other up between the sheets. Sizzle!!
Cute quick read but I wish there had been more leading up to the two characters getting together. The beginning has some fun scenes with hero and heroine verbally sparing back and forth and wish there had been more of that before they jumped into being together.
Sticky Fingers bk 8 [Hot Bites series] These are steamy and Short Novella Romance books.. Each book in the series follows different characters and different tropes.. This book was not my fav in the series so far but the romance was good..
This book follows Braden and Macy.. You will find Age Gap, Virgin Trope, Broody Hero and more
This book is packed full of: ⦁ Hero is a billionaire ⦁ Heroine is a street Thief ⦁ Age Gap ⦁ Virgin Trope ⦁ Hot & Steamy near the end ⦁ Broody Hero ⦁ Hero makes Heroine go to a family party with him ⦁ Love at first sight ⦁ over-the-top Hero ⦁ Hero is a dirty talker ⦁ Your mine trope ⦁ Possessive Hero ⦁ Forced Proximity ⦁ Small Town
The Hero was over the top but the romance was ok between Braden and Macy.. Hero is not close to his family apart from his little sister because he will always look out for his little sister
I’m not a fan of that much cockiness from a man, it turns me off right away. He’s too arrogant with her, I find it hard to believe a woman would fall for a man with his attitude. It was so shallow I had no idea who the characters were, specially the h. The author also didn’t let us see them falling in love, they went from hating each other to being a couple in a day (and the day was not even shown to us). The sex was really male oriented, so I was not impressed.
Steamy and quick KU novella! Why does the guy on the cover not look like the mc described? The spice was hot if I didn’t picture the ages. I didn’t love the age gap it was a little forced and icky “your mine” when’s she’s an 18yr old virgin and he’s 36. The plot was a little lost as the others in this series did a tad better job. The main plot arrangement to attend of the dinner was only 2 pages and they didn’t even stay for dinner lol
No pensé que me iba a realmente gustar uno de estos libros, pero este sí siento que es diferente, creo que es por Jordan Marie (autora que nunca había leído) y que se nota la diferencia entre lo que ella escribe y lo que escribe Jenika, creo que me gusta más. Definitivamente voy a revisar sus libros.
I actually liked the story. A thief and a billionaire falling in love, and making a family of their own. She may be a street thief, but she’s more of a real person, and that is what he needs. His soul recognizes his soul mate long before his mind did.
And our billionaire becomes a possessive man, overly possessive of his wife.
Braden is shocked when he's suddenly bumped and a sprite of a girl runs off with his wallet. Running after her he never imagines she has stolen more then his wallet but his heart as well. One looks at her fiery eyes and quick whit has him feelings things he never has. He knows he can't let her go without getting to know her better.
Braden is a businessman in town to visit his father. Then Macy slams into his life. She steals his money. However, he makes a proposition she can't refuse. Come to a dinner party ir face jail. Will miss sticky fingers do as he says or go to jail? He book was hot and spicy. Loved the banter between the two.
I was definitely on the hook from start to finish with this one. Macy was a spitfire and exactly what Braden needed in his life. She makes him a better person and altogether overall a good man. He helped her be a better person too. They bring out the best in each other. I look forward to more awesome stories by these authors!
Macy and Braden cracked me up so much. I laughed a lot while reading this book through Kindle Unlimited so I had to buy it so I could get those kinds of laughs whenever I wanted! Great story. Loved it!
I really enjoying this series. They are short stories but great plot, likeable characters and red hot romance. What else do you need in z good book?! Highly recommended
When a rich man catches a pickpocket, he decides to keep her. That’s it. That’s the plot. It’s thin, and less than satisfying, but over so fast it doesn’t feel like a waste of time when committed to reading the entire series.
This one was pretty good. It was short, but somehow, they fit in a small plot that worked for it. It started out interesting, it had a little drama and the spice worked well. Probably my favorite for the series.
