A fun, fast-paced read full of lessons to be learned in love, seduction, betrayal, revenge, and the art of the steal.
Adrian Dubois, aka The Vagabond: a sexy, jewel thief who strikes every 48 hours, stealing precious gems across Europe is just a little bored and more than a little intrigued at the proposition offered to him by a leggy blonde--his own type of kryptonite.
Evangeline "Evie" Marshall, sweet Southern gal with a little more grit beneath the surface. Problem with being a knockout beauty in a "man's world" of software engineering--always being underestimated. Brilliant for her age, she is the lead engineer at Myriad, a high-end security company whose systems have been outfoxed by The Vagabond.
On a chance encounter with The Vagabond aboard a train from Brussels to Paris, she formulates a plan--instead of thwarting him, she wants to team up and help obtain the object of his desire and her ticket to freedom--The Christine Diamond. The fact that he is dripping with sex appeal is just an added bonus, or so she tells herself.
What a great read! Such a fun story with really likeable characters (I love a story that has me cheering for the “bad guy”!). I loved getting to read about the European scenery and found myself so invested in the story that I couldn’t put it down! It made me laugh out loud at times, it gave me goosebumps at others… the best kind of read! Can’t wait for the sequel!
If you're looking for an action packed hot romance with thievery, jewels, and sexy escapades all over Europe, this is your book! This may be Cecelia's first book, but she knocked it out of the park with this one! If you read it, Adrian will be your next book boyfriend and Evie will be your next best friend. I highly recommend you give this new author and her first series a chance. I can't wait for the next one! You won't regret it!
