I love a good thief who I can root for in a book and that is what Alex was. She would steal back sentimental items after a break up. I totally fell for the concept and I really enjoyed the e book. It didn’t get a full 5 stars because I felt like Alex had this huge chip on her shoulder when it came to men. She looked down on them. I know I might get bashed for that because she was all about empowerment of women and I’m all for that. However I don’t think you can act one way, have a man act the same way and then get all offended and how dare he. She was going to use Mitch and she knew by using him she would destroy his reputation. Yet she had qualms about using a woman, she flat out says she hates to do that. I don’t get it. If she had used the woman no one would have knows she was casing the place or who had stolen it but by using this man, the HEAD of security she felt better about it bc she wasn’t a women. Not all men are evil just like not all women are saints. Then she Finds out Mitch knew she was a thief the whole time
“From the beginning then. You were setting me up from the very beginning.” Horror raced through her body as she realized how badly she’d been played. She was an even bigger fool than she could have ever imagined. “Congratulations, well done,” she said in a strangled voice and then whirled around and ran down the steps.”
When this happened I laughed at her. SHE WAS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING!!!!! You don’t get to be righteously indignant when you are pulling the same scam!
That being said, her attitude towards men didn’t affect the story too much and it did make sense in places. It’s rather nit-picky or me to single this out but it is a pet peeve of mine.
Overall I enjoyed the characters, the movement of the story and look forward to the next one.
