Samantha Jellicoe #5
A Touch of Minx
Who says crime doesn't pay?
A year ago, Samantha Jellicoe robbed from the rich and gave...to herself! Now, though, she's using her larcenous skills for good as a private security consultant, trying to walk the high road for her sexy billionaire boyfriend, Richard Addison, and asking herself if there's anything more torturous than tracking down priceless artifacts (only to give them back!).
So when the Metropolitan Museum of Art asks for her help, she's only too happy to leap into the fray again: If nothing else, this adventure will help her avoid that little (not!) sparkly item Rick's been hiding in his pocket, and postpone another kind of walk down the aisle. It's only when she's targeted by a deadly adversary after the same treasure that Sam starts to think that "till death do you part" is maybe the lesser of two evils...

About the author
Suzanne Enoch
101 books2,629 followersSuzanne was born in Southern California sometime in the latter half of the 20th century. In the way that some people are born knowing they want to be astronauts or cellists, Suzanne always knew she wanted to be a writer. Early dreams of becoming a zoologist and writing true stories about her adventures in Africa were crushed, however, after she viewed a television special about the world’s most poisonous snakes; she did NOT want to write about how she’d been bitten and lost a limb to a cobra. Thankfully at the same time the movie “Star Wars” premiered, and she realized that she could make up adventures and write about them, and not be eaten by deadly predators while doing research.
She dabbled in romantic fantasy writing for a year or two after graduating with a degree in English from the University of California, Irvine, until her affection for traditional Regency romances led her to write one for fun. After several encouraging rejections from publishers, she snared the interest of the world’s best and most patient literary agent, who advised her to revise the manuscript. This ultimately led to the publication of her first book, The Black Duke’s Prize, from Avon Books in the Spring of 1995. A second Regency, Angel’s Devil, followed that Fall.
When Avon folded its traditional Regency line, Suzanne was encouraged to try her hand at historical romance. As she remained keenly interested in England’s Regency period, she decided to attempt another manuscript set in that time. Lady Rogue hit the shelves in March of 1997. She wrote a total of 29 books for Avon, including two anthologies and a five-part contemporary series which received a pair of starred reviews from Publishers Weekly. One of those books, Twice the Temptation, was named one of the five best romances of the year by PW in 2007.
In 2002 her well-known love of all things “Star Wars” led to an invitation to appear on the E! channel in the television special “Star Wars: The Force Is Back”, where she discussed the romance in the movie series and ended up with more air time than George Lucas.
In 2010 Suzanne left Avon Books for St. Martin’s Press, where she continues to pen historical romance novels. Her 31st book, Taming an Impossible Rogue, is set to arrive in March 2012.
Suzanne is known for her humorous characters, sexy bad boys, and whip-sharp, witty dialogue. She currently resides in Placentia, California with several hundred guppies and various other tropical fish, and handful of very loud, spinach-loving finches. And her collection of action figures and statues from “Star Wars”, “Lord of the Rings”, “X-Men”, and “Pirates of the Caribbean”. Everybody needs some inspiration, after all.

So, the word on the street is that there were problems between this author and her publisher and that she stopped this series because of it. Now, she only writes Historical Romance. Which, considering how downhill this whole series was going, is probably for the best. The hero, Rick, talked like he was in the 18th century half the time. He definitely had NO idea about how to talk like today's kids.. or adults.. or even grandparents.
Exhibit A: He's talking about her panties:
"Black thongs," he breathed.
Thong s ? WTH? I thought he was talking about flip flops for a minute. Um, Gramps? The word is Thong. No "s" at the end unless she was wearing two pairs. You say it like someone from a retirement home trying to understand the internet.
And, no, the thongs thing wasn't an editing mistake. The word thongs was used many many times. Enough to make me stabby.
Exhibit B: He calls his cell phone a cell phone.
Okay, so this isn't an old person thing, it's a British thing. I married one of those, ya know. And, they don't call their cell phones cell phones. They call them their "mobile". I've never heard a Brit say cell phone. And, he wasn't just doing it for the purpose of Americans understanding him. He was thinking cell phone. Wrong!
There were a lot of wrong things as far as the Brit speak goes. The best thing to do is to write what you know. She's from Cali? Write California characters. Don't do the British thing if you don't know the lingo.
These people eat beans for breakfast, man. They are freaks. Freaks with lovely accents, but still.. freaks! You can't just look up all their freaky ways. You have to live it.
Exhibit C: (Okay, this has nothing to do with his old personess anymore, I admit it. It's just me bitching at this point.) When they had sex, the word "humping" was used.
Humping!
Unless you are talking about an overly-friendly-dog never use that word. It doesn't inspire romantic or sexy feelings. It inspires everyone who reads it to think about that overly-friendly-dog that time. Ick.
Wow, that British overly-friendly-dog has such nice manners!
Alright, so my exhibit thing really bite the dust in this review, I should never have started that, but my point is this: the book was a humping disappointment. I'm okay with the series ending abruptly.
I guess we'll never know if Aubrey really was gay, or if that weeaboo dude got over his Sam obsession, or if Rick and Sam ever got their HEA.
Oh well...
Whatever, Rick. Have fun with your cell phone and your thongs.

Romance with a touch of humor, mystery/suspense on the lighter side. This series may be eighteen years old, but it is still one of the most fun I have ever read. The pop culture references are a bit dated, but nothing that would cause any pain. Rick and Sam love each other and trying to make that work is proving difficult, but they love each other and are committed to doing that. I can wish that Suzanne Enoch would write more contemporary Romantic-Suspense, but she hasn't. Not many authors write with her style, and I can only wish for more.
Samantha Jellico, renowned and uncaptured international thief, and Lord Richard Addison, Marquis of Rawley and billionaire, have been together for a year ever since she climbed through his skylight intent on robbing him. Love at first sight after she saved his life, of course. It has not been an easy year, but they are in love and Rick, being a traditional kind of guy, is ready to take it to the next level - marriage. One really, really big question - is Sam ready for that step?
As Sam struggles to find her way in retirement as a private security consultant she is offered a job by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to recover valuable Japanese artifacts that were stolen. Sam didn't pull that job, she never steals from museums. She is intrigued and takes the job, something to get her adrenaline fix. While researching the job, Sam finds something she totally didn't expect and has more than stolen artifacts to deal with. Throw into the mix a group of Jr. Highers who need her recover services too and Sam has more than enough to keep her busy and Rick to watch her back.

While I'm sad that there will be no more adventures of Sam Jellicoe, the last instalment was a pretty great way to finish out the series. The action picked up from the first page, and weaved through plot twists, unexpected and not, to a climax that my mind was over a little too fast. Which lead into another one, which had me on the edge of my seat. I would have a liked one more scene for the epilogue, and readers of the series will likely know exactly which one I mean.

4 stars.
Still a good installment, with Rick wanting to take the next step in their relationship. The bad guy was wacko though.

I loved how Sam and Rick's relationship progressed through all the five novels. I liked reading about their ups and downs and fights; it felt real. And then this book comes the rings. I was waiting so much to read the proposal and I have to say I am very disappointed. Just half a page of nothing??? I wanted to see a more romantic proposal, I wanted to know why and how Sam decided to marry him. I wanted read about how Tom actually believes Sam. I wanted to read so much! If this was a book's end I probably could live with it. But this is the end of the series, and I cant live with such incompleteness.
And she didn't even write about Aubrey's sexuality and his past. That man fascinated me and here I am, no idea who he is!
I loved the plot, the characters, the thrill, but ending really sucked!!!

Fun, fun, fun! This series is just delectable romance/mystery with a dash of humor. In this installment, Sam begins a career retrieving stolen artifacts for museums - exactly the opposite of what she did before, with all the excitement and danger but for the good guys this time. She also struggles with her desire to set down roots against Ricks pressure to make a commitment. Sam is still fun and impulsive, Rick is even more yummy this time around (if that is possible) and the relationship is still just as sigh-worthy But the very BEST part is the ending
*The sex ratio in this series is relatively high but is portrayed within a monogamous, committed relationship. Skimming or skipping isn't hard.*

This book took me longer than usual just because I already knew how it ended. As always, Sam and Rick were a pleasure, and the assortment of secondary characters was marvelous.
I am depressed that Enoch most likely will not be continuing this series. There was an array of provocative plot threads she could have picked up, from Rick/Sam's wedding to Sam's mother to Aubrey's actions to Interpol. The possibilities feel virtually endless.
Although I think the series ended prematurely, it was definitely worth the read.
A sexy redheaded cat burglar (retired) plus a steamy British billionaire equals magic!

The last in the series? Say it ain't so! I've really enjoy this series and its perfect blend of mystery and romance. I'm disappointed that the author has turned her attention back to historical romances, because the market is flooded with them, while stories like this one are much farther between. I mean, it's funny, it's cute, it's mysterious, and it's a little bit spicy on occasions. What's not to like?
I'm on the lookout for similar books (romance + mystery) that feature the same couple throughout the series. Hopefully I find some, because I'm already missing Sam and Rick!

this series has stayed an average 3 stars for me from beginning to end - interesting enough that i kept reading on yet dull enough that i've already forgotten 90% of the story. recommended if you're looking for something different and fun, but not much else.
March 1, 2024
Easy, fun read with a couple very steamy love scenes. I loved this series and am sad there won’t be more. Sam and Rick and the rest are such great characters and the plots are fun. It did finish on a high note, so there’s that.

Just as with "Don't Look Down" I enjoyed the book enough to give it four stars despite it's lack of substance. It's the kind of light, unchallenging reading I'm after right now, so it fits my needs.
But, I'm having some problems now with the relationship. I skipped two books in between this one and "Don't Look Down" and I feel like they're in the same place they were. And I don't think they should take their relationship any further until they are both certain they can trust each other. And I do feel that one of them can't trust the other one. But I won't spoil it. You can probably guess if you've read any of them.
I've read that Enoch is contracted to do a few more stories in this series, and I'd love to see the protagonists take some leaps in regard to their emotional stability and maturity.
Still, Enoch can always get me to smile, and that's the reason I bought the book. So, if you're looking for a series that doesn't pull you through a wringer, or keep you up at night trying to figure it out, this is a good one to choose.

Bastante flojo para ser el libro final de la serie. Le faltó misterio, acción y adrenalina. Los conflictos de pareja resultaron repetitivos hasta el esperado desenlace, que no tuvo ninguna sorpresa y dejó con ganas de más, mucho más. Sin embargo, la narración es competente y los personajes, tanto principales como secundarios, se hacen querer, así que por eso las tres estrellas.

Even better than the first, this is the sequel to last year's "Billionaires Prefer Blondes". It was interesting seeing the relationship between Brit, Richard Addison and Yank, Samantha Jellicoe develop and watch Samantha in her new "reformed" job -- looking for stolen Japanese swords for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. I really like Samantha's "relationship" with Richard's best friend, "Yale" (Tom Donner) and his wife and kids.

Escapist entertainment with really enjoyable characters. The audiobook is the way to go with a great reading by Samantha Cook who does pretty great work with a wide variety of accents.

Too many mentions of Trump in this series, it was sickening.
June 10, 2011
I'd read other historicals of Suzanne Enoch's before (and enjoyed them), but hadn't read any others in the series before this. (Hadn't realized, going in, that it WAS part of a series.) This one stood alone surprisingly well. The mystery was handily maintained throughout-- with a nice double-twist-- (and an amusing side job) and I *really* liked the way she kept the uncertainty going in a relationship that (five books into a series) you'd think would be settled and happily-ever-aftered by now.
A couple of things detracted, for me. One minor annoyance was in the proofreading-- it may be a "pair" of underpants, but it's THONG, singular. Every dratted time I read "thongs" I pictured her wearing layers of them. The sex scenes didn't really grab me, either (so to speak)... they were hot and heavy, but they were also kinda repetitive.

I didn't find this as engrossing as the previous books but I can't put my finger on why.
Sam and Rick are back in Florida and she has three new legal assignments, a new security system for the wife of a bathroom fittings mogul, an investigation into the theft of antique Japanese armour for the Museum of Modern Art and retrieval of Anatomy Man for Tom Donner's daughter Olivia.
Relationship wise Rick and Sam seem to be stuck in a loop where Rick keeps pushing for more while Sam wants to maintain her freedom. I have to say my sympathies are with Sam on this, she is living with Rick and, if he didn't keep trying to interfere in her work/life, there to stay. His insecurity and lack of faith in her abilities drive me a little nuts.

Okay, I have finished this series… I made it all the way through and I am glad I am done, because well… it was dull and slightly annoying at times and nothing happened.
They fight all the time and then kiss all the time… and then fight some more. And the fights are always about the same thing, so I didn't see any relationship growth there. I can't decide who I liked less by the end… Rick or Sam. Seriously, stealing is wrong, it will always be wrong… so accept that already.
If the author does write another one, I am not interested.

The fifth in the Jellicoe-Addison series. I didn't think it possible, but I have to admit I prefer Suzanne Enoch's contemporary romances to her historical ones. Samantha and Rick are fantastic! I would highly recommend this book and this series to contemporary romance and mystery lovers (especially Janet Evanovich and Linda Howard fans.)
September 2, 2015
I love the Sam & Rick books. But - once again - I seem to have read all the books. Sigh... This was a terrific installment in the series. The passion was still there, along with humor, crazy circumstances, etc.
Suzanne writes great historical romances, but she does pretty good with these contemporaries too!

i really liked this series. glad they are getting married, creeped out by the creepy guy stalking sam and his japanese obsession. like aubrey but there are soo many questions with him. like is he gay or straight? what are his motives for being so nice to sam? did he set the creepy guys house on fire? if so that was nice of him. glad sam got the job as a museum art stealer backer- etc.

I did enjoy the finale of Rick and Sam's adventures. I thought the main suspect was suitably weird and creepy. Loved the epilogue, guess Rick and Sam were wrong on their guess about who set the fire. I have to admit even I wasn't expecting that one. The book left off on a note that leaves room for future installments but also works good as a series closer if she doesn't get a contract for more.

Loved this whole series. So sad to see it end.

Man, I loved it. In the sword scene with the scare I cried it was like a shock, I'm really happy I read this series :) 5 stars!

Very disappointed this is the last Sam Jellicoe book--I've read all five in a very quick time frame, and really enjoyed all of them. Hopefully there will be more!

The book was OK. I'm enjoying the side scenes/drama more then the actual crime solving/burglaring. Also, he's not described this way at all, but Leslie Jordan (ala Beverly Leslie from Will & Grace) will always be my visual image of Aubrey...
The more I read this series, the more I'm getting sick of Rick's "I trust her" attitude when his actions never seem to back it up. He catches her at lunch, a lunch she told him about. While HE is out to lunch to butting in to solve HER case, HE gets pissed when he sees her eating lunch?! AND THEN! SHE apologizes to HIM?!?!! WTF! I'm going to read the last one, because I've come this far and all that jazz...but man, I'm not liking Mr.Dick Richard right now.

If you're in the mood for some romantic suspense then this is the book for you - Samantha's an ex-cat burglar now living with Richard her sexy (aren't they always!) billionaire boyfriend - think of JD Robb's Dallas & Roarke's relationship & you get the picture.
The cover blurb says "Samantha & Rick are a team from romance, murder & mayhem heaven" - think that about says it all! If you're not already a fan of this style of romantic suspense this probably won't convert you but if you enjoy Linda Howard, Nora Roberts & Janet Evanovich (like I do!) then I think I can confidently say that this will hit the spot for you!
