About the author
Kay Hooper
97 books2,451 followersKay Hooper (aka Kay Robbins) was born in California, in an air force base hospital since her father was stationed there at the time. The family moved back to North Carolina shortly afterward, so she was raised and went to school there.
The oldest of three children, Kay has a brother two years younger and a sister seven years younger. Her father and brother are builders who own a highly respected construction company, and her mother worked for many years in personnel management before becoming Kay's personal assistant, a position she held until her untimely death in March 2002. Kay's sister Linda works as her Business Manager, Events Coordinator, and is playing a major role in the creation and operation of The Kay Hooper Foundation.
Kay graduated from East Rutherford High School and attended Isothermal Community College — where she quickly discovered that business classes did not in any way enthrall her. Switching to more involving courses such as history and literature, she also began to concentrate on writing, which had been a longtime interest. Very quickly hooked, she asked for a Christmas typewriter and began seriously working on her first novel. That book, a Regency romance titled Lady Thief, sold to Dell Publishing in 1980. She has since published more than 60 novels and four novellas.
Kay is single and lives in a very small town in North Carolina, not far from her father and siblings. Deigning to live with her are a flock of cats — Bonnie, Ginger, Oscar, Tuffy, Felix, Renny, and Isabel — of various personalities who all like sleeping on manuscripts and whatever research happens to be spread across Kay's desk. And living amongst the many felines are two cheerfully tolerant dogs, a shelter rescue, Bandit, who looks rather like a small sheepdog, and a Sheltie named Lizzie.

La storia tra Quinn e Morgan era iniziata fin dal primo volume e aveva proseguito per i successivi due volumi tra fughe, rapimenti, baci mozzafiato e ovviamente furti! Quinn è un uomo complesso, che di giorno vive una rispettabile vita come Alex, un ricco collezionista e di notte si trasforma in Quinn, il ladro gentiluomo. Morgan è attratta da entrambi, le due facce della medaglia dello stesso uomo, ma non può fare a meno di avere dubbi e scatti di rabbia che spesso la mettono nei guai. Tra bugie, mezze verità e segreti la storia di Quinn e Morgan si dipana in una rete fitta e intricata ma non può esserci amore senza fiducia ed entrambi dovranno scendere a dei compromessi. Ammetto che più volte durante la lettura ho avuto dei dubbi su che schieramento appoggiasse davvero Quinn: i buoni o i cattivi? Certo dopo aver scoperto il legame tra i quattro, Wolf, Max, Quinn e Jared ogni dubbio mi è parso assurdo XD E in fondo l'affascinante Quinn e la sua Morgana non potevano certo coronare il loro amore in carcere ahaha XD

So this book is fourth in a series, but it's not necessary to have read the previous ones (I hadn't). Stuff is recapped sufficiently, perhaps too sufficiently in some cases. The reason I picked this up is because it's actually the original story that Once a Thief and Always a Thief was based on (by the same author) and I love those books. In this version, we don't get enough of Quinn so he comes off looking too perfect and mysterious and because we get too much Morgan, she's forced to carry so much relationship exposition that it makes her character boring and flat. The "twist" at the ending isn't explained well enough, either. It just seems like the author added it to justify Quinn's actions and make him the good guy so there's not any moral dilemma.

You might wish to read the other books in the series to get a perspective on Morgan's dilemma
