Curses! Left my kobo at home, so I was reliant on what I had on the computer.
This is erotica which isn't really my cup of tea. The author has an engaging writing style but the first book in particular needed better proofreading.
Would have given 2.5 stars if possible

Really liked the first book escorts. It's fun and the characters are all like able even though a bit predictable. Many times I found myself laughing out loud at different parts in this book. I really like the heroine. She is quarky yet fun and engages in a behavior wish wish we had the freedom to at some point in our lives. The sexy alpha male is absolutely yummy and know exactly who and what he wants!
The second story thieves is good but very short...and very hot! Overall both were enjoyable.

As usual for Tina Folsom, these are fantastic reads with entertaining characters and twisting plots that draw the reader in. this is one author I continually check with for new reads; having not let me down previously I expect (and get)continual enjoyment from Tina Folsom.

ESCORTS:
This was a cute story. I liked Daniel, not so much really Scarlet though. She was a bit much for my liking. No real specifics as to why I disliked her, just didn't.
When Daniel asks his friend Tim, to hire him an escort for the night, why is Tim so surprised? I mean it wasn't like Daniel was moving to area or anything. Or was looking for a new girlfriend already, much less one that lived in on the other side of the US.
So the most important question for this book is this: If Daniel gets an escort basically the day he arrives...what happens with getting tested for diseases and whatnot prior to going out with said escort? I mean especially since they all seem to have sex too.
Now I don't know anything about being a lawyer or anything but I still have to ask. So if the 'ass wad' that Scarlet worked with had the same title as her, Junior Associate, how does he have so much power? We're told that he's a great lawyer but still. I'd think if all the sexually harassed ladies got together, they could have gotten him fired. The higher ups didn't want him gone, yet, what would they have done if someone charged him with rape or something stronger? Just curious. I guess it doesn't really matter considering he gets fired at the end.
Scarlet takes her friends place as an escort/prostitute. Did she not know in advanced what type of outing she'd be going to? That would seem strange though considering the men are usually wanted the escort services for business kinda stuff. Yet, she shows up for a meeting function wearing a sun dress? Was it just me, or did that seem a little too casual? When they arrived, there were all these well dressed people, yet, they didn't describe any of the females. Funny.
One line in stories with making out/having sex, whatever you wanna call it is this "Her body molded to his perfectly as if she were made for him." I am seriously tired of reading that line. It didn't help that the author used that same line or variations of it, several times. I swear it is way overused. It's time to come up with something different.
After seeing Daniel's ex, Audrey, what made Scarlet think that the two of them were still together? And she never thought that Daniel might think it strange given the fact she's pretending to be an escort, yet, is extremely mad that he was with another woman?
At the cooking thing, Daniel and Scarlet try to explain how they met, which left me confused. So Scarlet had been helping him fill out some online dating paperwork or something? What online dating site has you fill out physical paperwork?
It was kinda funny, to me anyways, how both times when Scarlet lets Daniel know what she likes, that the first thought in her head was how she was making herself vulnerable. I guess it was on repeat there.
Given the fact that there were several times where Scarlet makes mention how she has feelings for Daniel. Yet, not once does she ever imagine him calling her by her real name while in bed.
The whole not contacting employees after midnight, given the situation, made no sense to me. I mean he's paying for the night with her, yet, has no clue where she is.
Both Scarlet and Daniel both end up thinking how they'd fallen in love with each other. Actually...I think it was more 'in lust' considering all they did was touch, fondle and have sex.
There was a part with the real Holly and Tim meeting up. She comments "great timing with the phone call. Sabrina bought it instantly. Didn't suspect anything. Who was the girl?" When was this call? And what are they talking about? Did I space for this?
Or when she finally tries to 'break up' with Daniel, she's yelling saying how he doesn't really love her, that he was only interested in the sex and now he can go home and tell his buddies about it and whatnot...what was the point of all that. I get she was traumatized(?) by her school ex but seriously, Daniel's done nothing negative. She was just too eager to be rid of him for my liking. The fact that she actually signed that contract at the end was very surprising too.
Thieves:
This was another cute story.
If Olivia wanted to steal the armband while Marcus was waiting for her at the restaurant, why did she pick one that was so close to his home?
How did Olivia not hear Marcus come back home to change his pants? I can't imagine he was being quiet and taking his time, considering she was suppose to be waiting for him and he was in a hurry.
I couldn't help a similarity between the first story and this one. There's a part in both stories where the Daniel and Marcus both compare themselves to being a 15/16 y/o teenager with a stack of playboys.

This review is for Steal Me, which was a steamy hot and oh so sexy quick read. Mythical surprises in-store for this little romance. A sneaky thief may be receiving a naughty punishment for their crime. Fun, hot, and steamy story. :)
Read the Lawful Escort separately from this and enjoyed reading it just as much, though it is a bit longer in length. :)

Free read - two short stories, both of which was tight little novellas. Lawful Escort is a stronger, and slightly longer story, but this was enough of a taste of this author's writing that I'd like to check out her other books.

Quick read. After reading the beginning I thought I had figured out the story but it had a few twists. Get a glass of wine and a few hours to read a good romance with some racy but not vulgar sex scenes.

Really enjoyed!

Escorts was good, Thieves was okay
For being a freebie, this was a surprisingly good read. The first book was sweet and quick witted. The second book was meh but nothing to hate on.
