This. Book. Was. SO GOOD. I truly couldn't put it down, even in the midst of a family vacation with kids running around everywhere. I highly recommend.

Shoot, I truly don't remember this one. I'm sure it was fine.

She could have written a female character who became a spy. Instead she didn't and it was boring and I'm done with romance novels forever. What a waste of paper.

This book had a lot of promise and I did rather enjoy it, but there were a lot of things that also made me not like it so much.
SpoilerThe orphanage started out as being a big deal and then suddenly at the end it just wasn't that big of a deal. Yeah, they adopted Clara, but what happened to the overall orphanage? Was coal ever delivered? Did Peters stay in charge?
SpoilerI also felt like the story dragged in a lot of places and that some portions were not that necessary and could have been replaced with other more intriguing views into the various side stories.
SpoilerAnd then there was Miranda... I'm not sure I really understand her importance. She actually sort of bugged me in general.
I have to say I was glad to see Thomas end up with a happy ending alongside Edward and Nathaniel. Likable read, though I have to say the second book in this series was truly the one that captured my heart.

DOWN AND DIRTY QUICKIE REVIEW!

One Sentence Summary:

She’s a child-support collecting Robin Hood & he’s a fired spy with PTSD who's gotta catch her booty.

What part made you fangirl squeal:

OMG!!! When our gal used her boobs to save the day!? IF THAT AIN’T THE QUICKEST QUICK THINKING IN THE HISTORY OF BRAINS AND BOOBS!

Favorite Character:

Duh! Josie! Come on, a skilled-ass thief who steals so little kids can eat? Her wit, her spunk, her smart mouth? I CAN’T EVEN!

How smexy was the smex?

SOMEBODY GET ME A FIRE HORSE BECAUSE THESE OVARIES ARE ABLAZE! Seriously, that OTP carriage stable scene at the beginning? The swoonage was real.

Name That Trope:

Hidden Identity, Robin Hood Wears a Skirt, Physiologically Wounded Hero, At Odds

Whose Line Is It Anyway:

Thomas: Why rob only the men? Why not also collect from the women?
Josie: Because men control the money. A woman possesses only what a man allows her to have.
Thomas: You shouldn’t tempt fate.
Josie: Fate shouldn't tempt me.

Got any bitching to do?

Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Sadly, yeah. Our gal gets left out of the final big climax & it gave me stink face.

Visually Depict Yo Book Feels:



Famous last words:

THE BOOK HAS LITERALLY EVERYTHING! If you want a fiery, take-no-shit heroine paired with the most hero-in-pursuit hero that ever pursued? Get thee to a 1-click buy button!

The plot was a little far fetched, but it kept me interested.
