An impossible heist. A thief and a rogue. But will she steal his heart, instead?Review:
The Company of Rogues finally knows the identity of the mastermind behind a plot against the queen—but their enemy is still one step ahead of them. When he kidnaps one of theirs, the Rogues plan a daring rescue mission that will lead them into the heart of the bloodthirsty Crimson Court.
It's a job for a master thief, and there's nothing Charlie Todd likes more than a challenge. To pull off the impossible, Charlie needs a crew, including the only thief who's ever been able to outfox him.
He broke her heart. But now she must risk it all to save his life...
Lark's spent years trying to forget her past, but the one thing she can't ignore is the way a single smile from Charlie still sets her heart on fire. When he proposes they work together again, it feels just like old times, but she has one rule: this is strictly business.
It's Charlie's last chance to prove he can be trusted with her heart. But Lark's keeping a deadly secret. And as passions are stirred and the stakes mount, it might be the kind of secret that could destroy them all...
Ocean's 11 meets Dracula, in this sexy paranormal heist by USA Today Bestselling Author, Bec McMaster. If you like sexy paranormal romances, steampunk shenanigans, and plenty of action-adventure (vampires, dirigible flights, and steamy rooftop chases), then dive into this thrilling heist with Charlie and Lark.
It's always a little bit surreal to see characters you met when they were children grow up to be the lead characters in a romance. If you've been with the London Steampunk series from the beginning, that's probably how you feel about Charlie and Lark. But you've also probably been rooting for them to get together since the finale of the original series, if not earlier. (Don't worry if you started the series with The Blueblood Conspiracy, you'll still be able to follow their story. You will encounter several spoilers for earlier books though.)
It's so much fun to see these characters grow up in each other's eyes as they realize how they feel. Their romance is surprisingly sweet and innocent. (I mean not totally innocent, but certainly when compared to the previous book.) There's plenty of action outside the bedroom to make up for it though.
This book is like one of the movies that inspire the series titles, full of explosions and knife fights and lots of surprises. But I felt like the biggest surprise was Lark's backstory. I never would have guessed it would go in that direction, or impact another character in the Company of Rogues. I also loved the new characters they meet in Russia and the old friends who come along on the trip. And the little references to previous books! I've just been reminded of everything I love about the series.
London Steampunk fans, you're going to love To Catch a Rogue! It turns the action and intrigue that the series is famous for up to eleven. And the nostalgia is just perfect. Go hit that preorder button, like now!
