I captured a thief...does that mean I get to keep him?

Lainey
My mother’s dream was for me to marry a rich man. So I got engaged to one…and he was a no-good, cheating so-and-so. I left him in my dust, and now I’m working as a personal assistant to a professional rich woman while I pursue my dream, running a business helping people who’ve been through messy breakups.

When a woman comes to me after her ex refuses to hand over her heirloom heart necklace, I know exactly what to do.

I cozy up to her ex to steal it back.

Jake is a smooth talker with good game, but so am I. So it doesn’t take me long to get the necklace from him.

Except it turns out they never dated, and it's not actually hers.

It's a fake version of a very expensive necklace owned by my boss...and the real one just got stolen.

Jake
I absolutely intended to steal Lainey's boss's necklace. Because if I don't bring it back to the man who sent me here, I'm toast.

Lainey agrees to help me find out who took it. Our motivations don't match up, but I'm not about to complain. Because suddenly the necklace isn't the only thing I want; I want to make her mine.


MY REVIEW


Lainey wants one thing that she knows Jake has, because he's stolen it. But one twist later and now the two of them are actually teaming up to get the real necklace back. And, if she's not careful, Jake's going to steal her heart along with that necklace.


Jake absolutely has to get that necklace to the only paternal figure in his life. He shouldn't be in this position, and wouldn't be, if it weren't for his brother. But it's that brother he's protecting with the necklace. But then this sassy woman flips his world on its head and now he's wanting to come clean with her and become a better person. But how can 2 people with so much baggage be together?


Somehow these two people with baggage up the wazoo, morals lying somewhere in the grey area, but loads of chemistry, managed to find each other and fall in love, and do some character growth along the way. Jake is charming and flirty, but holding secrets. Lainey is feisty and hurting, but still trying to help people who have also been hurt by love. By no means should these two have worked, but they did, in a fun, sexy way with equal amount of heart.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
