This is my first book by Layla Wolfe. And this is the continuing story of Ford Illuminati and his wife and old lady, Madison. After many years of marriage, two kids, and a husband who is constantly working, Madison feels unwanted and unneeded. Ford is conscious of how busy he is and he's trying to break away from some of his responsibilities but giving control to others isn't easy.

It takes a thief, book seven of this series (and honestly one of my favorite series by this author), brings back the characters from book one, Ford Illuminati and his ‘old lady’ Madison. With trouble in paradise between the two, Madison takes a job working at a clinic on an Indian rez where a heart-throb doctor seems to be just the distraction she needs. Meanwhile, Ford is dealing with an issue of his own, Noodlum, a new member of rival club the Cutlasses. When Noodlum begins to target Madison,

It Takes a Thief, Bare Bones MC Series and this is book 7. Each book can be read as a standalone.
This is Ford and Maddison’s story. Both Ford and Maddy in The Bare Bones, book one. Now fast forward a few years.
I have to tell you I went back and forth as to whether I liked Maddy or not. I know all marriages go through rough patches and we take the good with the bad. Of course, she isn’t the only one to blame. After all it takes 2 to make a relationship. I can’t say more because I don’t want to ...more

Raw, gritty, and emotional with suspense, action, the occasional humorous moment, and some steamy scenes thrown in for good measure...in other words, a typical Layla Wolfe story and a great read!
Madison and Ford are having problems, both are at breaking point, and the unwanted attentions of Noodlum are the final straw.
Amongst the drama and emotions there is a serious thread to the story, how brain injuries can change behaviour and personality, and not for the better.

This is the first book in this series I have read and I loved it so much that I am going to make sure I go back and read the other books in the series. There were a few twists and turns in here that I most definitely didn’t see coming. I love MC books and this is definitely one of my favourites. I can’t wait to catch up and read the other books. Definitely a 5 star read for me.

Loved this book, got to catch up with Maddie and Ford. What a wild ride. Rings true to what happens to many young couples. My favorite of the Bare Bones series now. Waiting on the next book from this author.

It Takes a Thief is the seventh book in the Bare Bones MC series by author Layla Wolfe. Because this series is a continuation of characters we met in book one, you really do need to read this series in order. This is my first time reading this series, and I will admit the first couple of pages confused me at first. But I did catch on after a while.

It Takes a Thief is book 7 in The Bare Bones MC series by Layla Wolfe and while I haven’t read the rest of the series, this book made it easy to follow along. I do recommend reading all of the others if you want the full experience and back story but it is not necessary.
This story brings us back to Ford and Madison, it shows us how the priority of work is coming between their marriage and with Madison being at the end of her rope with being second best. Although now there is a new pl ...more

Loved this book!
I have all the books in this series and have to say this one is my favorite! I just loved this book, it has everything you may want in a story and Maddy was taken to a whole new level. Her character weaves a tale of growth and spiritual awakening. The new characters rocked it to the heart of the story. Please read you will not be disappointed, Layla always provides a excellent ride. You really rocked it this time, I lost a nights sleep reading this one. Keep them coming!

Good story of a struggling couple who really do love each other, but life has gotten I'm the way. Ford works too much, trying to manage his business and the MC, much to Maddy's dismay. As a nurse she works hard as well and is in need of a little change as well as some distance from Ford. Ford has to deal with a rival club and a rogue player out to destroy his club. Enjoyed reading this story as always there was some funny dialogue as well as some steamy sex!

Another good book
Maddie needs a way to find herself again. She has become quite distant from her husband Ford. He is consumed by work and the club that she is feeling disquiet. She heads to the Rez to volunteer her nursing skills but what she finds is upset and and Ford finds an enemy interested in Maddie.
Maddie needs a way to find herself again. She has become quite distant from her husband Ford. He is consumed by work and the club that she is feeling disquiet. She heads to the Rez to volunteer her nursing skills but what she finds is upset and and Ford finds an enemy interested in Maddie.
He has so much on his plate at the moment, his MC club and his company that he has not had time for his wife and marriage. She is feeling lost and lonely so she does something else and finds a young doctor who gives her attention. There will be a lot of trouble as someone is causing problems for her husband
I love Ford and Maddy's story , It's a love story that had it's ups and down , ford is a strong sexy alpha MC and maddie his better half is equally as tough and they make a great couple . another great book with a great ending.

The story was well written, the plot flowed smoothly from page to page and the characters were so well defined that I was totally hooked from page one! As I turned each page I felt like Ford and Maddy jumped from the pages and pulled me right into their story as it unfolded!
The book has a good storyline that is compelling, gripping, and interesting. The characters are intriguing, engaging, and well developed. I liked reading this book.
Good continuation of Maddy and Ford's story.
