I read it but I didn't read it. Does that make sense? I barely remember at least 60% of this historical romance and I kind of just went through the motions of reading it. Nothing in particular stood out and everything was basic. No excitement. No spark. No flare. It was just unrememberable and I will say it's more of a 'it's not you, it's me' type of read. I just didn't care much for it unfortunately but can definitely see this novel appealing to most readers that tend to gravitate towards ...more

Alex tries to have self control with his woman, but it doesn't always work out, “sod it,” he breathed. There was no hesitation this time. No uncertainty. His mouth molded over hers confidently..." Sometimes Alex has to be delecate with his lady's sensibilities, "he found his breeches in a rumpled mess on the floor and shucked into them. “You can come out,” he said. “I’m decent.” She made what sounded like a snort. “I’m covered,” he amended dryly." I liked this book, I loved Alex.
Review to come!

I do so enjoy reading about these Bow Street Bachelors. There is a lot to love about Alex Harland and especially about Emmy Danvers. They are both professionals and extremely skilled in their own right - and have an intense connection that carries over years of separation after only a single kiss.

Totally different than most of our authors writings, this was a fabulous book. We have our villain Who happens to also be our heroine. We have our hero who shines throughout the book. Our villain is actually a thief very high-class thief. And to have the jaws that they’re talking about along with a wonderful history they give the jewels. It makes for a totally interesting read. And some of the words and the way they use them. I just can’t tell you how interesting this book is you’ll have to read

A fair second book in the series. The writing is great... The romance and heat were on fire. My problem with this is the ethical relationship. She's a thief... He's a Bow Street agent. Because of this, it started very slow for me because I kept trying to figure out how the author would make it work. She did but I was still bothered by it. However I will still look for the next one in this series.

I loved the chemistry between Alex and Emmy! She’s a bold jewel thief who is always one step ahead of Alex. They both struggle with choosing between honor and love. I received an ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.

Fabulous, just fabulous! Funny in places and steamy in others. Lots to love in this one. I had a hard time putting it down. I just had to know what happened next. Loved it!
I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is book 2 in the Bow street bachelors series. In this one we have Alex trying to stop a thief and a thief trying to save her family. I enjoyed the read a great deal. The story was a fast paced read. I can't wait for Seb’s story.
Kate Bateman knows how to grab your attention from the start and keep it through the whole book. Intrigue, mystery, romance, humor, and family honor combine to make a fast moving story with delightful characters.
