The Kiss Thief
by
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! The Kiss Thief (stand-alone). Senator Wolfe Keaton stole a kiss, he stole her everything, or did he?!
The Kiss Thief (stand-alone) opens up to the mapped-out-life of nineteen-year-old mob princess Francesca Rossi aka Nemesis. While attending a dinner she is mocked by senator and heir Wolfe Keaton aka Villain. A stolen kiss later and she finds herself engaged to the infuriating senator and thrown into a game of power and a quest for revenge.
Told from dual POVs it’s an enemies-to-lovers, May-December romance set in the mob world. Though it may come across as a triangle, to me there was never any doubt that Wolfe could be the only hero. He’s ruthless, cunning, aloof, mysterious, blunt yet possessive. He manipulated every situation while the truth behind his contempt for the young heiress is slowly revealed.
Spectacular! Seductive! Sex-on-a-stick hero! A glued-to-your-kindle read!

“All I could do was hope for his mercy. I felt safe, but not secure. Desired, but unwanted. Admired, but unloved.”

“We were entwined and entangled, connected with invisible strings, each of us trying to pull away, only to create more knots that made us closer.”

Quotes SueBee★bring me an alpha!★ Liked
“With Angelo, I felt warm and fuzzy. Under a rich blanket of security. With Wolfe, I felt as if I was on fire. As though he could end me at any given moment, and all I could do was hope for his mercy. I felt safe, but not secure. Desired, but unwanted. Admired, but unloved.”

“Wretchedly gorgeous. Wickedly innocent. Irrevocably mine. Our hearts were tarnished. Stained. And guilty.
Unpredictable to a fault.
And bound to break.”

Oooh! That's on my tbr for sure --- as soon as I complete a couple of ARCs and a buddy read, I'm hitting it on KU!
congrats sue!! im waiting for the review. i honestly always read anything from lj shen but the love triangle trope kinda stopping me as I never was a fan of that, maybe you can pinpoint the plus side of this book so that i can bring myself read it too.
Thank you Bunga! Review this week. I am not big on triangles myself but I can assure you I felt no angst whatsoever there was only ever one true hero.... xxx
