She uses her criminal past to catch crooks. He wants her back. In the grift. And in his life. Can Finley Goodhart convince Lex that doing good is the greatest hustle of all?
Ex-grifter Finley Goodhart may try to stay on the straight and narrow, but walking that thin line becomes wobbly when she believes her friend Penny was murdered. The last thing she wants is to work with her ex-partner (and ex-boyfriend), the brilliant (brilliantly frustrating) British con artist, Lex Leopold. However, when it appears Penny's demise might be related to an exclusive matchmaking service for millionaires, Fin needs Lex's help to pull a long con to get the goods on Penny.
REVIEWRomance is in the air for hustlers, gangsters, and their marks. Unfortunately for Fin and Lex, infiltrating the racket doesn't make for a match made in heaven. This Valentine swindle could stop their hearts for good.
Once again, Reinhart has managed to spin an intriguing tale. Finley Goodheart is trying to go straight, get out of the con game - until her friend gets murdered. She fights her attraction to Lex and several other less than savory characters, all with a piece it seems in this matchmaking service. Can Finley fake being a millionaire and con the con?
The pace of the story is good, and the characters have depth. Reinhart's descriptions help to visualize them, but aren't overdone or tedious. There's tension and romance. An opportunity to get to know Finley - I hope to see more of her in future books. If you're fan of Reinhart, you won't be disappointed.
FTC Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book in the hopes that I would post an honest review as part of this blog tour. This has not affected the content of my review in any way.
