Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
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.
