Summary: Great Book!
Review: Fabulous, one of the best I have read. Are we going to have Chole's story one day?

I hope so!

Summary: Way too many double standards
Review: I have to admit that I could not stand this book. Although I liked other books by Andrea Kane, this one went way over the top. The main character was a thief who spent his life trying to get another thief caught and put in jail, but continued his own questionable pasttime. I never understood how he could be so righteous about what he chose to do and yet could somehow revile someone else who chose to do the exact same thing. It just didn't click for me at all.

Summary: Great book
Review: Okay, I sort of agree with that last reviewer- Ashford was a bit of a hipocrite for going after Barcalli, when he himself was a thief. But, he had better motives- he gave all the money he got from the stolen paintings to charity. Barcalli kept the money for himself and accomplises- and he stole from anyone- good and bad people alike. Ashford only stole from 'bad people'. (to further understand Ashford's motivation read- "The Last Duke", which was about Ashford's parents.) Further Barcalli actually paid someone seduce his own daughter (Noelle) in order to win her alligence. Ashford was definetly the better man.

Noelle and Ashford were perfect together. And honest about their feelings- they knew they were in love pretty fast- and didn't deny it to themselves or each other.

There should have been more story toward the end and there was no epilogue.
