Original and entertaining.

Clementine is the female version of Robin Hood; she steals from the rich in order to help those most in need, such as a Deli orphanage she had visited. Jack is an Elvis fan, an Elvis tribute artist, in fact. She is planning to steal a Van Gogh from his house, but things get complicated when she meets him and starts to know him better. Now Clementine has to decide between those little children from the Deli's orphanage or the kind and sweet Jack.

Thanks to CD Books and NetGalley for providing me with a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I'd give this quirky romcom 3 stars.

Clementine is a modern day Robin Hood - stealing to help the poor. She's sent to the middle of nowhere for her next heist. The town and it's characters might likely be found in a Dr. Seuss book. Enter Jack, not at all who Clementine imagined her next mark would be. Not so typical but typical romcom story plays out.

The story is charming and cute but veered into way too cheesy for me. I liked some of the elements but to me, I couldn't take any of the serious plot points seriously due to all the goofy plot lines. Too much going on for more than 3 stars.

3.5 stars! I was super intrigued when I read the plot - an Ocean’s Eight type of heist minus the other 7 women.

Clementine is a cat burglar who goes after big money, high value steals. Her latest Mark is a wealthy gazillionaire who lives in the middle of nowhere Nebraska and moonlights as an Elvis tribute artist. A wrench is thrown into Clementine’s plan to steal the heist when she falls for her mark and has to choose between following through with the heist or losing him all together.

I was thrown off by all of the oddities placed in the story but understood it all when it tied back at the end. I almost put this down about 30% in but I felt more invested than not and I was interested to see how Jack and Clementine worked through the challenges. It seemed like the kitchen sink full of twists was thrown at this when they didn’t necessarily need to be (in my opinion).

Thank you to Netgalley and the Xpresso Book Tours for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

absolutely enjoyed this book. Not at all what I had expected however it was a wonderful read and I suggest this to all!!!

This novel started out intriguing. Clementine is a burglar intend on stealing a painting in order to save an orphanage but things get complicated when she falls in love with the target. I admired Clementine spunk and drive to accomplish her mission. I just couldn't get into their love story. It read too much like a teenage soap opera with her confessing intimate details of her troubled past with Jack who has his own traumatic childhood. And the intensely erotic sex scene at the end that doesn't quite seem to fit this mostly clean novel. Just not what I was expecting.

****Don’t Go Stealing My Heart is a good read. Clementine, who steals from the rich to give to the poor is on a quest for a valuable painting in a small town preparing to host an Elvis impersonator contest. It turns out her target will be in the contest, and since her cover is that she is to be a judge makes them having a relationship highly suspect. Jack, the target, is trying save the family firm which is the largest employer in town. He has secrets...she has secrets... and they have an attraction to each other that shouldn’t be pursued. This new to me author has given her characters interesting back stories and created a story that has humor, heat, pathos, danger, and sneakiness all portrayed in a way that keeps the reader engaged till the end. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley.

There is a.lot going on in this book, Robin Hood heroine trying to.pull off a Van Gogh heist, a rich businessman who also does Elvis impersonations and a setting in the middle of nowhere with a quirky name. So, it's a convoluted premise, but everything else works in this book. It's charming, and engaging, with good dialogues and very likable characters.

If anyone knows me at all, then you know how much I LOVED New Orleans Rush when I read it in 2019. So needless to say, I was beyond excited for Don’t Go Stealing My Heart.

I read the synopsis and I knew it sounded exactly like the type of story I would devour. And devour it I did!

One of the things I loved most about New Orleans Rush is that Siskind added a bit of intrigue. She did the same thing in Don’t Go Stealing My Heart.

It’s what makes Siskind’s books stand out. She doesn’t write “just a romance”. It’s so much more than that. She writes a STORY. You get all of the swoony and adorable content you’d expect from a romance. But you also get emotional depth, stress induced heart palpitations, and some wicked twists.

The sparks between Clementine and Jack left me not wanting to put this book down. They have banter that’s equal parts delicious and sincere.

I loved everything about the town of Whichway. From the names of everything within, to every single one of its residents. It’s somewhere I wouldn’t mind moving to.

If you haven’t read Siskind yet, you need to. Her books are wonderful. New Orleans Rush is marvellous. Don’t Go Stealing My Heart is sensational.
