I devoured this novel in just a few hours! I immediately fell for Clementine and Jack, I loved their chemistry and their way of interacting. I currently am looking up small towns to move to. 100% recommend this to everyone!

This book was so amazing! I love adult romance and this one did not disappoint! I was instantly captivated by the synopsis and the story made me fall in love with it! The premise was so interesting – a gender-bent Robin Hood stealing from a shy Elvis tribute artist – I mean, what’s not to love. The characters were so lovable and adorable. Both of their backstories and family dynamics were interesting to read about, and I love that they were such a big part of the story. I love that they bonded over bearded dragons and helping those in need. I loved the quirkiness o the town and its occupants; they were fun to get to know and see how the MCs interacted with them. The romance was hot and was welcome after having been reading so much fantasy. The twist at the end was a welcome surprise. I’m a sucker for damsel-in-distress stories. I liked that Clementine’s character was strong and independent, while Jack’s character was shy and family-oriented, and it is nice to see this difference compared to other romances. The entirety of the story was simple and easy to read which Is good when it comes to romances. This book has humour as well as trauma and heartbreak. This book was so well written, and I look forward to reading other books by this author. I give this book a 5/5 star rating!

The ultimate feel good, laugh-out-loud totally gripping book. I absolutely loved it. Clementine was a wonderful, feisty, tough as nails and yet utterly vulnerable who makes it despite the pain of a terrible childhood. Jack was just utterly adorable and oh so sexy. I honestly felt regret when I got to the end of this book and felt oh so slightly bereft that it was over. You''ll love this but try not to read it all in one go or you'll regret it.

This book was everything I wanted it to be and so much more. Elvis tribute festival combined with a priceless Van Gogh painting and a criminal with a heart of gold; throw it all together and you get this amazing novel. The chemistry between the two main characters is off the charts, combined with a very original plot. Loved every minute of this book.
I was given an advanced copy from Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

This book totally had me at Van Gogh, con woman/burglar, and sizzling romance. What a perfect combination. That's enough to make you want to read it right? Good! Because you should. I absolutely loved the characters in this one. Jack and Clementine are couple goals. I think they had just the right amount of back story, development, humor, and sassiness! I loved getting to know them and watching the sizzling heat rise...and boy did it ever! This ones got some steam.
I did find myself questioning a couple of the early scenarios specifically, with the villain of the book, but the story wrapped up strongly and made the scenarios make more sense once the final story arc emerged.
Don't Go Stealing my Heart easily stole mine and made me want more. Also, now I want to get a bearded dragon and name it Elvis.

I liked the premise of this story but wavered throughout on whether I actually liked it. There seemed to be too many elements at play that it couldn't decide if it wanted to be a caper or a romantic suspense. I did enjoy the chemistry and banter between the two leads. The ending had a switch I didn't see coming. I wish there had been another chapter because the epilogue seemed to skip ahead a lot and wrapped up several issues with no explanation. The refreshing honesty of the heroine was a nice change of pace because it didn't drag the misunderstanding out across the whole book.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this novel.
I was excited to read this but at 20% I put it down. It's not a witty rom-com that's fun, instead it's a novel with characters that try to hard to be interesting. Neither of them were well drawn and it felt like the story were way out there.
I'm sorry this didn't work out.

I love Kelly Siskind and read all of her books. Thank you to netgalley for this ARC! That being said, this one wasn’t my favorite of hers. It was still beautifully written and kept my attention, I just didn’t think it was her best.

4.5 stars!
A very original and entertaining story that made me laugh, pulled on my hearstrings and kept me completely engrossed. Two very endearing main characters with difficult though very different pasts and complicated presents that had me deeply invested. A very peculiar town with a lot of lovable and quirky side characters and a very particular annual contest. This book has a little bit of everything and I absolutely adored it. I loved getting to know Jack and Clementine and where they came from, and enjoyed their interactions immensely. I can't wait to read more from this author!

A con artist with a heart of gold and a very handsome/dreamy tribute artist! An annual Elvis Festival!! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a feel good, emotional, sweet, funny and sexy story. A complete package to take my mind off the depressing conditions due to a vicious virus. Both the lead characters have a drive to help the needy in their own way. Clementine cons rich guys and steals from them to help the homeless and orphans. Jack David employs majority of his town in his company and rescues reptiles. He also donates to charities. I loved that he had an animal sanctuary in his house. Overall, I would defiantly recommend this book, the love story will put a smile on your face. I would love to see a movie made from this book; I can imagine an awesome soundtrack with some of the favorites by the King.
Thank you NetGalley and the publishers at CD books for an ARC, I appreciate the opportunity to read and give my honest review for this book.

The plot of this was unique but thats about all I liked. Our female lead Clementine is planning to rob our male lead Jack. She steals from the rich to give to the poor. Their meet-cute happens before Clementine realises that Jack is her mark, they have an insta-love moment and she can't seem to back track those feelings.
Look this wasn't a bad book, but I just couldn't get into it. It was a combination of not liking the narration style, lack of interest in the actual relationship and where it was going, not finding the writing funny at all. Sadly, I had pure disconnectedness with the entire thing, And of course COVID-19 has made it impossible to finish a book I'm not into. I also felt I could imagine how it would go and I wasn't excited.
I picked this up because Jen DeLuca had said something nice about it, but this just wasn't what I hoped for. This was a DNF @ 30% for me.

She wants to steal his Van Gogh. He wants to steal her heart.

Actually, he didn't give her a key, she let herself in.....
Clementine Abernathy is a modern-day Robin Hood. She Robs from the rich to give to the unfortunate/children in orphanages. But she fell for her mark, and her mark fell for her. Jack David met Clementine when he was having car trouble and she helped him out. Ever since they each can't stop thinking of the other. When they meet again, she realizes he is the man she is met to con, when he sees her, he knows she is the one for him. To make things even more tricky for her, Clementine learns they have something in common and then there is that attraction she feels for him....
Like a breath of fresh air, this book came along right after a slew of some unforgettable books. This book is light and fun and isn't trying to be anything it is not. This is a rewarding fast read that is fun, light, sweet and sexy. The characters are likable, each have interesting back stories, and each brings a little baggage to the table.
So happy, I picked this one up when I did. In stressful times, we all need a little feel good reading in our lives.
Thank you to CD Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.

I liked the beginning and ending of the book. The story was a bit lost for me in the middle. The plot is predictable and fun. I love the theme of Elvis and Oceans 11. And the names of establishments made me smile. Clementine and Jack were a cute couple. You can’t help rooting for them.
I received a free Arc through Netgalley. Thank you for my copy!!

This book took me longer than I would have thought to get through and I’m honestly not sure why I couldn’t connect with it. On the surface, this To Catch A Thief story should be right up my alley, but while I wanted to finish the book quickly, so I could move on to another one, it was a bit of a chore for me to get back to this.

I liked this book but not as much as I thought at the beginning. It's very, "To Catch a Thief" but I just couldn't connect with the story as much as I thought or expected.

A real modern day Robin Hood, Clementine Abernathy steals from the rich and gives to orphanages. Who knew a burglar could be quite the philanthropist?
This was a sweet and easy read. I enjoyed the unique plot and the main characters. I could definitely feel the romantic tension between Clementine and Jack.
I wish there was a bit more depth to the story. But If you’re looking for a mindless RomCom that has a little Elvis love in it this is your book.
Thanks Netgalley for a chance to read this book as an ARC!

DNF at 25%
This is a great book for the right reader, but it isn't for me. I didn't respond to any of the humor AT ALL. I liked the meet-cute by the broken-down car and then it started going downhill at the Elvis festival. YMMV, so please read an excerpt and other reviews.

Clementine Abernathy is a thief, but a thief with a heart and a painful past. Maxwell "Jack" David is an Elvis tribute artist that comes from a wealthy family, but he has a lot on his plate. Sparks ignite when these two meet and the fire burns bright as their paths continue to cross. Will they be able to overcome the obstacles standing in the way of happiness and a life together??
I really enjoyed the story in this book. The unique twist of Clementine being the "bad girl" and Jack being the "good guy" made for some interesting moments when vulnerabilities took over and nerves set in. I liked both of the characters and enjoyed their chemistry together. The pace of the novel was believable and entertaining. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author!

Prepare yourself to have your heart stolen by this entertaining and original story !
I loved New Orleans Rush so much and wanted to read more from Kelly Siskind ; and let me tell you i am not disappointed !
Don't Go Stealing My Heart is what i expected and more.
The author surprises us in so many aspects.
Some examples:
_Clementine, the heroine is a modern Robin Hood, she steals to help people who have nothing, like her when she was younger.
_Maxwell Jack, the hero, is a tribute artist (first time in my life i read something like that).
_If you love reptiles you're gonna be happy !
_A town and shops with quirky names.
_An impersonator contest.
_Heist, thieves, suspense, surprising twists...
This story is funny and steamy and deeply emotional (but not too teary), your heart will be full and you will end this book with a big smile !
I love Elvis'music so i love Kelly Siskind's choice and she succeeds to make me understand those men and women who impersonate celebrities. I thought that was a lack of personnality and a bit sad but finally i totally understood our hero and i rooted for him.
I love Jack's family, yes they are rich but with them you can forget all your prejudices.
Jack is so different from the kind of heroes we are used too. He's sensitive, hot, sweet and a bit weird but in an adorable way.
Clementine is just amazing, a real badass. She's a survivor and a fighter.
Their banter and their chemistry is off the chart.
The last twist of the story is worthy of a funny and suspenseful movie.
---> a TBR

“She yanked her hand back, ignoring the sharp pang at the loss of contact. “Good luck in your meeting.” “Can I have your number?” “I’m just traveling through.” “We could swap Twitter or Instagram handles? Or that snapping thing. Snap that Chat? I don’t do social media, but I could make an exception for the woman who rescued me.” “I’d rather not.”
Clementine considers herself a modern day Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Her latest heist has her in small town Nebraska trying to steal a priceless Van Gogh from a stuck up trust-fund brat. Except it turns out that the trust-fund brat isn’t all the bratty. In fact he’s quite sexy and kind-hearted and Clementine is in deep trouble.
