I enjoyed this story. The main characters had noble ideas and compassion to the downtrodden. I struggled with the historical accuracy and all of the leeway Caroline is given with all of her sneaking around.

How to Steal a Thief’s Heart is the fourth book in the Happy Ever Regency series, but it was fine reading as a stand-alone. I haven’t read the other books in the series and don’t feel like I missed anything. It had charming characters and was a sweet romance. It was well written and fast-paced.
Caroline Hawkins had a life-changing experience as a child during Market days. She sees a poor, hungry orphan girl and wants to help. Over the years she hires the girl to be her personal maid and starts to disguise herself by wearing glasses and ugly dresses. If she can scare off suitors and stays in the shadows, she can continue to help orphanages.
Pierce Byrne, Baron Markham, lost all respect for Society after rescuing a girl whose family was killed by gentlemen. Now he robs Society men during the night and gives the money and goods to the poor. He notices Caroline in the shadows one night at a party and when he encounters her one night, he must uncover her secrets.
This was a sweet romance and a charming story. Even though I haven’t read any other books from the series, my interest in the series has been caught.

This was my first book by Bree Wolf and I was honestly surprised how much I liked the writing. I like the idea of a nobleman being some sort of Robin Hood for the poor. Caroline is helping too but in her own way. She decided years ago that she wants nothing to do with being married at an early age and to put her time and money to people who need her most. Since she is single and doesn’t have a lot of money she tries to befriend old matrons of the ton so they’ll donate to her orphanage.
They are both hiding behind a mask with secrets only they know of. When one night both their worlds collide, feeling starts to resurface. But what happens when Caroline likes two men – one she met in the ballroom and one she met at night as a masked stranger? And of course, there’s someone out there who might threaten their love…
4 stars. I will definitely read more from this author!

The hint of a smile lingered on his lips as he looked down at her. ”How can anyone not see you?” he whispered as his eyes swept over her face. ”You’re mesmerizing.”

I would like to thank netgalley and Dragonblade Publishing for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Caroline hides her beauty in order to continue her work with the orphanage. A husband would curtail her freedom and stop her work. Pierce uses the disguise of a highwayman to rob from his fellow members of the ton, and to give to those in need. Falling in love will help them see through the others disguise.
Enjoyable, like the authors other books, but maybe a little soppy.
