Diamond Duplicity

I'm a pushover for a sexy jewel thief, and apparently so is our heroine. This well crafted novella offering from a great writing duo, hits the ground running and continues at that fast pace. There is humor, passion, sex, suspense, oh, did I mention sex? The story itself is good, the characters fairly fleshed out considering the short format, and the settings quite detailed. I think what made this a fun read for me was the witty, sharp dialogue. I encountered several laugh out loud moments. This is the first in a series and I look forward to the rest.
*I received my copy through NetGalley.com in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book, it was short, to the point and it had Max who was seriously sexy, "Max threw his head back and laughed. “You’re so effing adorable.” He pressed his lips to mine again." He's really caring and knows how to soothe his woman, "he rubbed soothing circles on my back. “Of course you do. And any guy would be lucky to have you pick him." Max has high stamina and Lucy is just so cute:
"Damn it. That’s not how I imagined it. Next time I’ll remember the condom.”
I buried my fingers in his damp hair. “How long before the next time?” He lifted his head to smirk at me. “I need at least ten minutes."
I really loved this book.

This story is very very hot. It's fast pace and a bit unrealistic but if you're looking for a really sexy book, you have met your match. Definitely not for those who skip the love **ahem** scenes. Don't expect too much development but honestly, if you're reading this... that's probably not what you're looking for :-p

A fun, fast paced novella with plenty of heat through out the story.

This book is a short read and though I don’t believe that in real life anything like this story would take place. I do think that the beginning of the story when Lucy Matthews who is on a date and then the whole chase scene and her boyfriend is not the type of guy she was expecting. That part I could see and was funny and was the beginning of the story that lead her to be holding a bag of diamonds. Turns out the men that she thought were the police were not and she is caught up into a night of unexpected events that even I cannot imagine happening all in one night and then after everything she be happy with the guy that started it all Max Callaghan. But as I said it is a story and a fast read and it was fun. Overall not bad.

3.5 stars.

This was a fun and sexy short story. Lucy meets Max while being in the wrong place at the wrong time. To protect her Max claims that she is his girlfriend. Lucy is suddenly thrown into what is a jewel heist. There was a lot packed into the story. I wouldn't mind seeing this as a full length novel, including some info on Max's family and what exactly they are into.

This story happened in a one night.
First dates goes wrong for Lucy in so many different ways.
Lucy was two nights away from 21 but she wasn't allowed to be in to the club. So her date decided to sneak in through back that's when Lucy witness the diamond heist.
When she was caught, she is immediately drawn to Max from the start. (that was quick) Lucy knew she shouldn't be drawn to him but she couldn't help herself.
Max pretends Lucy as his girlfriend to his crew and she was along for the ride.
It was difficult to relate to Lucy and she does seem like she is desperate and she can't get enough of Max so they are getting on as much as they could. It was confusing until the end and it really flopped at the end.. I just wished there were little more suspense or more of their back story.
It was short read but was disappointing.
