The Thief Who Loved Me (Wilde Ways)

One of the best characters I've read by Cynthia Eden.

I don't write about the plot or regurgitate the back matter of a book. I rate characters, interactions, conversation, real to life plot, s@x scenes, and yes plot if there is a glaring problem for me. Hopefully people will find this more informative than most of the reviews.

First: This book blew me away and for one main reason. The hero. Remy is a tough m-f-er who thinks he is nothing but bad news (someone who is a magnet for danger/death) so he sacrifices himself to try to keep those he loves safe. Thankfully he has had Con on his side. But in this book we see Remy doing the same thing to Con (and then the heroine Jacqueline) just like he did with his sister in his introduction book (Ex marks the perfect spot). I love how he takes care of those that he loves even while trying to make them not see what he is doing. I love that he's a bad ass (and not all a good guy) in how he handles situations. Lying is his thing but even as he plans to lie to Jacqueline, he finds that he can't and it stupefies him.

Jacqueline is a great character too. Under other circumstances I might rant on about how I like her, how she's a good girl down under but will become bad in a heartbeat if it will help her Remy. But in this situation, my love of the interesting character of Remy, she is definitely second fiddle.

Conversations feel real, S@x scenes super hot but don't drag on or become same old same old repeated. The heat between R and J explodes from the page well before they do the deed. I swoon over statements that inadvertently leave Remy's mouth and his reactions to things that Jac says to him. Friendships between Remy and Con and Ty are amazing and really show who Remy is without him telling/showing us.

Nothing I dislike about the book. Cynthia Eden outdoes herself with this one. Can't wait for Cons book

Even bad guys need love!!

Remy is just sitting in a bar minding his own business when a woman comes in asking for help. He’s always thought of himself as a thief and a bad man but deep down he is a hero. He is street smart and protective to the core.

He’d intend to lie, to manipulate, then he’d look into her eyes and randomly do the most stupid of shi!, like tell the truth.

Jacqueline is running from a evil man so she knows the deference. Remy makes her feel safe. She’s so trusting and honest. She brings out feelings in him that he is shocked at.

“A fugitive,” he explained easily. “Aren’t they all wanted? Doesn’t that go along with being a fugitive?”

I’m be been looking forward to Remy’s story and oh my gosh it lived up to my every expectation.

“You asked for backup,” Constantine reminded him. “You called Eric and told him to send in his best agent.”

Constantine lifted his hands and gestured toward himself. “Well, wish granted. Here I am.”

I’m so excited about the next book because swoon!!!
Constantine!!!
