** spoiler alert ** I didn't like this book as much as I did What A Gentleman Wants and A Rake's Guide to Seduction. I love the idea of the heroine being a thief, and was looking forward to see David fall in love, but there were a few points that stretched my suspension of disbelief, and I wasn't at all comfortable with the major plot point of Vivian being kidnapped and held against her will by the hero, who she's supposed to fall in love with.

Vivian's relationship with Simon was interesting, and I would have liked to have seen more of that, and more of Vivian and David interacting with David's family and acquaintances. Or anyone, really, apart from David's butler.

Overall I enjoyed this book. It was well-written and I liked Vivian and felt that she and David had good chemistry, but I'm not at 'into' the kidnapping and imprisonment aspect of the plot, and the ending seemed a little too conveniently wrapped up.
