wonderful standalone romance. Clementine is loner, trusting only her foster father/handler, Lucien. Since she was a teen, he’s trained her on the art of stealing expensive items, which they would sell and use the profits to help those in need, oppressed, and homeless. But when Clementine meets her current mark, Jack, she knows it is finally time to get out of the game. Jack is desperately trying to save his family’s company, and the jobs of the townsfolk who rely on his business. Meeting Clementine is the balm that heals his tired soul, but he knows she’s keeping secrets and worries what will happen to his heart when Clementine leaves town. Don’t Go Stealing My Heart is another wonderful standalone romance from Ms. Siskind! (While this is a standalone, there is a reference to charters from another book.) Overall, I adore Ms. Siskind’s characters and the worlds she creates. Her characters embody hope, something that I appreciate and need now more than ever. They are quirky and fun, but three dimensional. There are layers and complexities that play out over the tale. Clementine and Jack are two peas in a pod. Their upbringings as different as night and day, but their souls are alike. They both want to help others - are driven to do what they do so they can assist those around them or from afar. They share a love of reptiles; it’s kismet when they discover they both have bearded dragons named after characters from I Love Lucy. And they both suffer from trust issues, with Clementine’s a bit more severe. But because Jack dealt with and recovered from his own let-downs and double-crosses, he can understand, empathize, and help give Clementine what she needs to trust him. I loved their energy and passion. Clearly, Clementine has a huge secret… she’s a thief, and Jack is her mark. While she falls for Jack, she (and the reader) knows these ginormous secrets must be revealed if she wants a future with him, and we understand that there will be severe consequences when the truth comes out. Stories built around this premise can stress me out. I don’t like bonds to form when I know they will be ripped apart once a secret is revealed. I am happy to report that Ms. Siskind took the ruse just to the point where needed, but not too far. I was pleased how Clementine reveals her hidden life to Jack, and more impressed with Jack’s ability to forgive. The one aspect of the book that weighs on my mind is a twist of sorts that plays out in the climatic scene of the book. It was something I saw coming for quite a while, but really hoped wouldn’t happen. I am not going to give spoilers, but it was something that disappointed me slightly. And then the main story abruptly ends, picking up a year later in the epilogue. I am appreciative that the author outlined with loose details some important aspects of Clementine’s life in that year between the conclusion of the book and the epilogue. And I still enjoyed the story and loved the characters. I can see why the author chose to tell the story the way she did - it makes sense - but I didn’t love that part. Ultimately, I really enjoyed Don’t Go Stealing My Heart. I adore Jack and Clementine - they have a wonderful bond and amazing energy together. Ms. Siskind writes stories that wrap me up in another world and soothe my soul for a time. I highly recommend this, or any of her books. My Rating: B+ Liked It A Lot Review copy provided by author

Unique storyline!. Unique storyline! Somewhat of a modern-day Robin Hood, Clementine steals from the wealthy to give back and save the poor. Starting to feel unfulfilled, she starts to question her job but continues to take jobs. Her latest is to steal an expensive painting from a trust fund kid named Jack who has done his staff from his family’s company wrong. But things end up different with this job when Clementine meets Jack and gets to know him and starts to realize things don’t add up with what she was told about the job and the actual Jack. As the pair continues to spend time together, the chemistry gains traction and the feelings start to emerge for each other. But when Clementine starts to relay her findings and thoughts to her handler/boss, things turn potentially deadly for Clementine, Jack, and his family. I will tell you that I didn’t see the end of this book coming, but it was what absolutely made it for me. I was a little disappointed by the epilogue of the book, where we find out that people got away and justice wasn’t really served, but I was happy that Jack and Clementine got their HEA. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Couldn’t stop reading!. So well written, fantastic love story, exciting mystery and suspense - 10/10.

A wonderful read!. Surprise, surprise I loved another of Kelly’s books. I just love her wriitng. She creates these worlds that you really feel apart of I felt like everytime I put the book down it was if I had hit pause on a movie. Their story just kept running over and over in my head, wondering where they were going next. As the story went along I couldn’t wait to see where these characters ended up. From the momment they met, i was rooting for them. They felt very original to me. Pick up this book and you won’t be disappointed. I never am with Kelly’s writing!! It’s the perfect thing to distract you right now while being held up at home!

Fabulous Read!. So Much Fun!!! I adored Clementine - a unique and quirky character who melts your heart. Chemistry zips between Clementine and Jack (another quirky sweetheart!) while they get to know each other. Their vulnerabilities make them struggle to find their way. The story takes more than a few unexpected twists and turns and I stayed up WAY too late to finish it. Give yourself a treat and pick this one up!

Good writing. The writing was good, though I must say some parts were corny. The characters had good depth and the book was well written. Enough intrigue and interest and the writer set a good scene.

Entertaining. When I read the blurb I knew I had to read and review this book as it intrigued me and I love finding new to me authors . Although most would call Clementine Abernathy a criminal or a con woman, she reminded me of a female Robin Hood. Except in this case the person who was in her sights turns out to be a nice guy instead of someone horrible that she has her eye on as a mark. It all becomes complicated when she is attracted to Jack David and after one astonishing kiss she knows that he is the one for her. Will he accept her past or will he reject and leave her? This was a quirky romance that had laughter and steam and was an easy read. I fell hard and fast for Jack, he is totally swoon worthy and an all around great guy. Don't Go Stealing My Heart was also emotional at times and my heart just about broke for all that Clementine has survived. The added sub plot with the Elvis contest just added an additional layer to my pleasure. All in all an entertaining read that I enjoyed.
