Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the ARC. I LOVE IT. Cute and wonderful story and entertaining. Love it, love it!

The cute cover on this book is a bit misleading. This book was definitely a romance, but also hard hitting! Which is not a bad thing, but I just felt a little cheated. If you like characters with challenging pasts, trying to work through trauma, this might be something you would enjoy. I personally think it felt a bit manipulative and I didn't love it. I also don't love when emotional trauma is used as romantic conflict in a book, and I felt that that was done here. I'm willing to try more from this author in the future, but I didn't love this one, unfortunately.

fun book with quick wit and banter.  I really enjoyed this theme and characters.  Must read for me.  Really enjoyed this one.

Love this book so much because it was really funny! For some reason, I really like characters who are criminals -but don't get the wrong idea. There's a certain extent to that and it definitely depends on the genre of the book. That being said, Clementine is an absolute delight, I love her character so much. Jack and his family were pretty amazing too and his sister is the cutest. I love the banter between characters and the witty conversations and Jack and Clementine are adorable together. <3

This was my first Kelly Siskind book and it was glorious! I really liked the characters Kelly created and I am not a fan.  watch my full review here: https://youtu.be/cFYROqhsWyY?t=705

Thanks to NetGalley for sharing this ARC with me in exchange for my honest review.

Unfortunately I had to DNF it at 40%

I wasn't invested in either the heist or the romance. The latter lacked any chemistry and turned out to be insta-lovey, or more like intsa-infatuation. And as much as our main character is supposed to be an expert thief who steals from the rich and bad people to give to the poor, she made so many mistakes it was hard to believe she was supposed to be good at her job. As far as I read, there was never a scene where she excelled at it. She even missed people tagging her, and kept giving away her cover.

Clementine Abernathy is a modern day Robin Hood, she steals from the rich to help those less fortunate than her. But along the way she falls for one of her marks. The story was funny, charming, and light. The story moved along so it was a quick read. I enjoyed getting to know Clementine and her mark Jack David. I thought I had it all figured out as I was reading it, but then *bam* a plot twist-one with devastating consequences. I can't wait to read more books by Kelly Siskind

I was craving an romance book and Don’t Go Stealing My Heart was perfect! I loved our main character Clementine - she reminded me of a female version of White Collar. A striking lead female antagonist that stops at nothing to fool her marks and grab her treasure.
…
Clementine, a modern day Robin Hood is conducting her latests heist involving stealing a Van Gogh. Turns out millionaire Jack, the egotistical owner is sexy and kind-hearted. Falling for her mark is the last thing she wanted. Now she’s imagining a fresh start with Jack, but will her past come back for her?
…
I really enjoyed this one and couldn’t put it down. Clementine and Jack were very developed characters and were totally couple goals. You knew overall, that Clementine was going to want a "normal" life after falling for Jack. Siskind wrote this in such a way that you can't help but fall in love with both characters. I was impressed with how submerged I was with Siskinds writing. They both had so much baggage and worked through it separately and together. I was rooting for both of them to come together after their meet cute. I loved their relationship with the banter, flirtatious nature, and mystery. I loved the little bit of mystery Kelly added towards the ending..but I don’t want to give it away. Just read it. Also, I might want a bearded dragon now!

This book was fun- took a standard romance and added Elvis impersonators, car burglary, and reptiles. I did not anticipate all of this and I enjoyed it. There is a lot here, it is very emotional, deep and at times dark. The ending was a bit predictable but was still enjoyable.

*SPOILERS Ahead* Clementine is a thief, a thief in the Robin Hood tradition of stealing from the rich to give to the poor. Pulled into this life by the man who rescued her from a terrible stint in foster care, Clementine has had doubts about her "career" in the past. Her latest job, stealing an unknown Van Gogh from a wealthy Nebraska family should be a piece of cake. However, while procrastinating the start of the job, Clementine pulls over to help a man stranded on the side of the road with car trouble, a gorgeous man with large sweaty hands (apparently Clementine finds sweaty hands incredibly sexy). Sparks fly immediately until Clementine realizes that the sexy, sweaty hand man is her mark for this job. Things enfold in an extremely predictable way (down to her ditching him to try to protect him *eye roll*). This all unfolds during the town of Whichway's (or Whatever's?) annual Elvis festival where sweaty hand man (Jack) is a very serious competitor in the Elvis tribute artist contest. This book is enjoyable enough with some steamy sex scenes, but the romance element is pretty quick and the plot was just too predictable/annoying for me to rate it highly.

A good book with likable characters who had a lot of chemistry between them.  I really enjoyed it, it was very entertaining and I couldn't put it down once I'd started it.

4 stars, I recommend it.

Thanks to CD books and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was one of my comfort reads last month and with its quirky setting, Elvis festival and a female Robin Hood, the story was nothing short of spectacular. We feel a kinship with Clementine from the very beginning. The story of a thief who steals from the rich to help the orphans is in itself extraordinary and when a shy hero is added to the mix . . . hmm! Can you really fight the urge to pick up a copy?
      Siskind firmly establishes a jovial atmosphere throughout the story in spite of the traumatic events and the impending danger that loom all the time. Both Clementine and Jack hit it off from their accidental meeting and their chemistry grows as the time passes. Jack's family (especially his sister) and his home with all the abandoned reptiles did make a unique impression. The lengths Clementine goes to protect them all clearly earns her the title of Robin Hood. Who would have thought that a quaint little village known as 'Whichway' will witness such thrilling incidents quite worthy of a K-drama?
      I cannot really go into the story without endangering the climax, so let me stop right here. On the whole, a lovely story with adorable characters. Highly recommended!

This was a sweet and cute romance. I enjoyed Jack's character and was amused by the Elvis storyline. I had a harder time connecting with Clementine, mostly due to the heaviness of her past. I was hoping for a fun little jaunt like Fox and O'Hare by Janet Evanovich and this book didn't quite reach that level. Overall it was cute and enjoyable but not my favorite book this year.

This was a cute book - I always enjoy heist stories. The banter between the main characters was entertaining. However, I thought the writing was a little boring, and it prevented me from really engaging with the novel.

I enjoyed this book a lot since I like Siskind's writing. This book is not as whimsical as the other book I have read by her but it was cute. I will say that it feels like Catwoman and Batman fanfiction but I enjoyed it a lot. It had a lot of elements (Elvis and keeping strange pets) that keep the book light. The book also deals with heavy topics (being an orphan, bullying, and a few others) that keep the book balanced. That being said, there were a few things that bothered me like supporting orphanages in other countries while ignoring what happens in the USA (where both characters are based). It was slightly tone deaf and made me cringe everytime Clementine thought about the orphanage in India. I think the book is a 3.5 stars for me but giving it 4 stars since I do like the pace and off beat character traits.

This book was fun. I wanted more character development out of Jack though. He was too nice, too selfless, too unrealistic. The town was cute, Clementine was a good female lead, and it was just fluffy enough.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun, quick read with an interesting plot that I hadn’t really read in a romcom before. 

I loved the heroine, Clementine, from the very beginning. She’s fun, self aware, and wants to help orphans. I mean, what’s not to love? 
And don’t even get me started on the sexy, kind hearted Jack David(as the synopsis puts it). He’s such a great male character! 
The book was full of so many fun tropes, but also had so many very cheesy fun topics as well. Hello, Elvis imperonsations!! 

I give the book a good 4 stars!!

2,5 stars

Unfortunately, it was not for me. I thought it was going to be a fun romcom but the story was not fun at all (too serious sometimes). The characters are quirky and maybe for that reason are not as appealing as they could be. Besides, the style is too narrative for a non-native English speaker.

This was a really fun romance book! I loved the plot and the fact that it involved art, as I looooove paintings. The romance between the two main characters was great, it was really well done!

Thank you NetGalley, CD Books and Kelly Siskind for lending me an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion! 
	Clementine Albernathy isn’t your typical twenty something woman, she’s also a master thief. Clementine isn’t stealing from the rich for her own gain, though, she’s using the money to support orphaned children. So she’s not in the wrong, right? Clementine runs into Jack Davis while dealing with a broken down car and he’s hooked instantly. Clementine can’t get Jack off her mind, either. When they meet again Jack knows he wants to make sure he doesn’t lose track of her and Clemetine realizes he’s her next mark. 
  	This was my second Kelly Siskind read! I read New Orleans Rush a few months ago and once again Kelly has written a fun and flirty read that keeps you smiling like a dork the entire time.
