A calculating sinful and devious story that wickedly blends power, romance, and revenge into one palpable addictive read. The Kiss Thief is hands down one of my favorite reads written by L.J. Shen. In this book, Shen masterfully crafted a story that begs readers to enter into a world where power, control, duplicity and deception are the underlying factors.

One kiss. A stolen kiss. Two men. One heart to win. Is there a happily ever after

What a jerk! haha I love these jerks !
I love finding an author that pretty much never disappoints! Her books just suck you in and you don't want to put it down or go to sleep haha !!
The story has you hooked right at the start .. at the prologue; " What sucked the most was that I , Francesca Rossi, had my entire future locked inside an unremarkable old wooden box..."
Later, we see how important that wooden box is.
The heroine Francesca, is portrayed as a spoiled, entitled brat . Well, that's how

This book is a good stand-alone! Leigh Shen continues to prove why she is a best seller. She integrates romance with real ideas that deal with the heart and the mind. She creates characters that consume us and loves that are so epic it shifts our world. I never ever want to leave this world or these people!

After reading so many amazing reviews for this book I decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype for me. It was ok, but I liked the second half of the book better.
