I really enjoyed this! My favourite of the series so far. Nick and Kate have really got their chemistry down and the whole book is hilarious. We see some of our favourite characters from the previous books (Jake, Boyd and Willie).

It's light, fluffy and fun. It's Evanovich at her very best.

June had me suffering from my seasonal allergies; they were severe enough I began to wonder if there was more going on, and when I thought I was adding on pink eye to my symptoms at the end of the month, I even went to a doctor during our trip to see family (turns out my allergies were so bad they were causing the non-contagious strain of pink eye).

So that's the setting of me picking up this book. It's a light read. In this book series (of which this is the third), you have Kate O'Hare, the FBI agent on the trail of con-man Nicholas Fox. In the first book they create a secret working relationship to set up high-profile criminals and take them down.

Think heist movies or shows, a la Ocean's Eleven (and subsequent movies) or Leverage, and you get the Fox-O'Hare plot (Lee Goldberg, one of the co-authors, wrote the Monk series). It's a fluffy read, but it was the right speed for my seasonal-allergy suffering self.

I liked this heist even though it took awhile to get started. There were less weird sexual innuendos than the previous books, which I appreciated.

This series as a whole is so addictive and won’t be surprises if I finished it by the end of the next month.

Another exciting adventure with Kate and Nick. If you mix It Takes a Thief or White Collar and Mission Impossible with Janet Evanovich’s sense of humor and Lee Goldberg’s mystery and adventure you get Fox and O'Hare. This series just keeps getting better and better. This is a fast paced, easy to read, mind bender that will leave you tired but smiling. There are some genuine laugh out loud moments that will keep you going through the tense times. I like that Kate and Nick seem to be loosening up a little. I think I am a little bit in love with Kate’s dad. I truly hope this ensemble cast continues to entertain us for a good many books to come.

Kate, Nick and their quirky gang are at it again. This time they start out trying to clear Nick's name, at least on a latest round of international art thefts, and end up trying to take down a drug lord. Fast paced, with a hint of humor and a "White Collar" meets "Burn Notice" feel readers will be left looking forward to Kate and Nick's next adventure.

Now I’m just invested in the narrator’s accent work.
The fact that only Kate winds up killing people is an interesting choice. The rest is just ridiculous heist story, but a nice break from deeper novels.

I have loved the series so far for its humor and fast paced storyline. This one was not as funny as the other two. It was also completely outlandish in terms of plausibility. That being said, however, I'm still giving it 3-stars. It's still a good, easy read (or listen), and the perfect bridge between books with heavy subjects.

Finished another one. I’m really enjoying the characters in this series. Every book gets better and better. I especially like the actor they enlist. His stories to become the characters are hilarious
