HIS MOMENT TO STEAL

HIS MOMENT TO STEAL                       CATHRYN FOX

Once a thief, always a thief…and he’s just walked away with her heart.

In the Line of Duty, Book 4

Ex-military security specialist Luke Phillips would like nothing more than to walk away from his latest job, especially when he realizes the upscale market owner is the daughter of the man responsible for his year spent in juvie.

Except he promised the kids at the community center new and updated equipment. He has no choice but to keep to himself and try not to get mixed up with Emery Vincent. No matter how sweet and sexy she is.

One look at Luke starts Emery’s heart fluttering—along with other specific body parts.But she knows better than to act on those urges with a bad boy who looks at her like he’s been living off rations and she’s the market’s hot lunch special.

But when he rescues her and bandages up her scuffed knee, the heat between them explodes. While a future between them is impossible, hot, sweaty sex is guaranteed—at least until the job is done. Unless Luke can let go of the past and risk it all for love.

Warning: This book contains a smoking-hot ex-convict from the wrong side of the tracks, and a silver-spoon lady who gets oh, so much more than she bargained for when she hires him for a job. 

HUBBY'S REVIEW:

Emery Vincent is now running the families grocery store and she cannot figure out why they are losing money. She decides to hire a security firm and it is run by Luke Phillips who is attracted to her the moment he sees hear. The only problem is later when her father finds out that he is the person she hired he does not like it because he had Luke sent away to juvie for shoplifting when he was a teen. That experience had a life changing effect on Luke and his family in more ways than one. He later joins the army and becomes a Ranger and when he gets out sets up a security business and works at the local boys and girl’s community center that is also run by one of his friends. You find out that he has set up a scholarship for his sister who he has not spoken to since he went away to juvie since his father said to stay away. Now as he is getting closer to Emery he finds her taken care of her brother who is handicap and though him they actually start having a relationship other than work. As they are getting closer her father still does not like him and though a serious of events due to an allergic reaction to peanuts she ends up with him in the hospital. The story goes along and she is still losing money and product when he decides to add two more cameras and that very night catches the person who is stealing. The next day when they find the money gone he comes in gives her the money and leaves, the father telling her he told her so. But later when she looks at the video she sees that it has been her father stealing all this time and was willing to let Luke take the blame and then asks him what he stole when he sent him away and said it was a jar of peanut butter. She knew even back then he did not steal it but took the fall for a friend due to his allergic reaction. She then had to find him and make it right after dealing with her father. This was a good story and overall a good book. I got this book from net galley.  I give this 4 stars.
