What she was doing was immoral, illegal, and could easily get her killed--but Troy Bennett wasn't apologizing to anyone. She'd been caught red-handed in the middle of a felony and she couldn't have picked a more dangerous man to be holding her fate in his hands. Not that straitlaced businessman Dallas Cameron intended to turn her over to the law. He had far more devious intentions for the sexy cat burglar.

This is not a "bad" story; just out-of-date. It's another "early works" by a popular author, being repackaged and reissued. For whatever reason, romance books written in 1980's and early 1990's do not hold up well over time. (

Entertaining caper with two fun characters. Dallas Cameron first meets Troy Bennett when she's breaking into a house he's staying at. He's intrigued, she's amused, sparks fly.

It's pretty predictable and a bit dated but I enjoyed the ride. (

Basic romance, no surprises (

A reprint of an earlier Loveswept release. Sweet and quick.

Troy is a cat burgler. She 'retrieves' stolen art objects for their rightful owners and donates her fees to charity. Dallas is a strait-laced, law-abiding businessman. He sees things in black and white. How in the world can these two reconcile their differences?

Wow, I'm not sure I miss the eighties, but this was definately a trip down memory lane. Overtones of women's rights and heroines who have it all: wealth, beauty, kind to kids and animals. I'm glad I'm not diabetic.

The only saving grace is Hooper's tight writing style. There are no awkward stumbles. She's got a story to tell, and she does so with her normal flair. Not an award winner by any means, but a good book to spend a couple of hours reading. (

Book description

The light in the library flicked on without warning, and cat burglar Troy Bennett was caught in the act! With her green eyes daring him to stop her, she came face-to-face with the righteous Dallas Cameron, whose dark virility left her breathless.

Dallas demanded the reasons behind her unlawful actions - and the chance to know her better than anyone. Troy thrived on the risk of her secret work - yet her feelings for Dallas sparked a sense of danger she'd never faced. But her work and her scruples divided them - perhaps forever.
