leabookjoy 's review for:
Flirting with Danger
by Suzanne Enoch
Hmm more something between 3,75 and 4 stars =)
For Sam, robbing the house of a wealthy businessman aka Richard Addison was supposed to be a matter of routine. Except it doesn't go as planned and a bomb, one dead and one millonaire saved later, Samantha Jellicoe finds herself forced to seek help from Richard to escape the police and find out who wants to trap her ...
As I am a huge fan of stories with thieves, as soon as I read the summary of this book, I went for it !! And I must admit that on the thief's side, I was served =) The descriptions and all information about the supposed world of thieves but also about art were very realistic and I totally loved it ><
However, even if the author's style is pretty cool, I found that it lacked humor and fun stuff ... I wanted to laugh and finally, even if I liked the book, it was sorely lacking zest. The plot is complex or at least seemed complex, but the end was too easy (I quickly figured who would be the big bad villain ... Who was not quite big and bad actually ><)
The characters could have been nice but they lack depth and personality. Sam was the most interesting, a talented thief full of secrets who is forced to turn to one of her potential victims to seek help ... A sexy victim she gradually falls in love with ... EXCEPT that for a paranoid thief used to hide, she yields too easily (the thing with the press who takes pictures of her should have drive her crazy, and finally not that much ...) I wish she has more personality !! And Richard was supposed to be a millardaire who always want to control everything ... But he is sooo flat !! If someone told me that my security was crap and you can waltz in my super property as you please (to plant bombs and more) I do something !! (And the fact that we discover he is a lord at the end ... Well, it was totally useless xD)
In short, a fun read but no more =)
