The Love Thief is a romance full of depth and emotion in which the main character is learning to find her purpose taking place in India! This was full of betrayal, love, and learning how to mend a broken heart. The pacing flowed well, making it easy to just keep reading. It felt like a magical fairy tale with aspects that I think every woman can relate to in some way. What stands out in the novel is the cultural and spiritual parts, something I don’t see depicted very often. If you want a romance with emotional depth and a self journey, I would recommend!

Thank you Hay House and Netgalley for this arc

Arielle Ford's Love Thief is no ordinary romance—it's richer, more emotional, and quite healing. It traces the story of Holly, a woman betrayed by a man she believed would become her husband. What starts as heartbreak evolves into a discovery of self-love, spiritual awakening, and rebirth.

The romantic plot is complicated. Rather than simply leaping into another relationship, Holly goes to India to learn to release pain and reconnect with herself. The developing love story is slow, introspective, and deeply rewarding—not only between two individuals, but between Holly and her own heart.

Arielle Ford weaves lush romance with spiritual insight, and even adds a cultural spice that gives the story a special twist. If you enjoy novels where the heroine gets stronger, learns to love herself, and finds a man who truly merits her—this is a must-read.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
For fans of emotional, healing romance with substance.
