A Kiss in the Dark was a ton of fun! Suspense, mystery, romance, crime, all rolled into one.

Samantha’s cat-burglar dad raised her into a life of crime, and he doesn’t appreciate it one bit when she decides she’d rather go clean and make a legitimate living. She’s built a business protecting against thieves rather than helping them, and fallen in love with a hot British billionaire and peer who she’s all set to marry.

When Samantha is hired to protect a huge collection of art and other precious items, things get pretty wild, maybe a few family secrets come out, and there’s a lot to figure out in a short time. But Samantha is up for the challenge.

I had so much fun with A Kiss in the Dark trying to discern who was involved with what, where the plot twists would come from, how the characters would approach so many crazy problems, and how everything would turn out. The author takes you on a fun ride through NYC, security nightmares, the high stakes burglar world, and a sizzling relationship between two fiercely independent yet devoted people.

I haven’t read any of the previous Samantha Jellicoe books but clearly I need to! I need to get more details on Samantha and Rick’s backstory. But A Kiss in the Dark is a definite winner!
