Stealing Mr. Right by Tamara Morgan
4.0
Penelope Blue is a jewel thief married to a federal agent. A sexy federal agent who probably most definitely knows she's a jewel thief, but who probably doesn't know that she knows he knows, right?
This is a delightfully unique romance story, told in alternating times (past and present), to show how Penelope came to marry FBI Agent Grant Emerson, her nemesis, and how she came to realize she does in fact love the big, beautiful, intelligent man who may actually be her perfect match after all.
The story was slightly reminiscent of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and I especially enjoyed the witty, funny, and clever cat and mouse game between Penelope and Grant, two people at the prime of their game who fall in love with each other because of their strengths, not their differences.
What I only wish this had was a bit more on-page sexy times, as this is decidedly closed doors. That said, there is tension FOR DAYS, and despite being fairly light on overt sexual acts, I found myself quite turned on by the story.
I don't usually enjoy romances that carry the main story ARC over multiple books, but I think I'll make an exception for this one because it was so much fun.
