If you like your historical romance deliciously naughty then you'll love Touch Of A Thief. But there's more to this one than smokin' hot sex scenes; the characters are fully fleshed out, the plot is packed full of adventure, mystery and danger and loosely touches on aspects of British rule in India in the 1850's.

Lady Viola is a strong, sassy heroine, an impoverished aristocrat supporting her family through her aptitude as a jewel thief. Quinn is of the English ton, a lieutenant serving in India with an obscure past and some talent in Kama Sutra, making for the entertaining and provocative scenes I previously mentioned :)

With an opening scene designed to ensure a captive audience, the story progresses from India to England and France. Prince Sanjay of Amjerat is stripped of his Princedom, a rare red diamond is stolen from an Indian temple and Sanjay, Viola and Quinn join forces in a quest for justice.

What I really loved (besides the sex scenes lol) was the psychometry element; gemstones 'speak' to Viola, an original and refreshing angle in a historical romance.

Touch of a Thief is a fun, sexy read with trademark witty dialogue.

Mia wrote several novels as Emily Bryan and many of you know how much I love her work. Touch Of A Thief is no exception.
