Summary: An entertaining read -- Recommended
Review: Attorney Rafe O'Donnell follows Gina Petrillo from New York to Wyoming when she leaves town for a class reunion. A cynical man, Rafe believes that Gina was part of her partner's scam to embezzle the investors of restaurant's funds. He also believes that if he follows her long enough and closely enough, she'll lead him to the partner. Rafe is wrong.

Despite their mutual suspicion, Rafe and Gina cannot deny the connection they feel when they are together. Nevertheless, Gina feels constantly on edge, continually reminded of the foolish and mistaken kisses they've shared. Not to mention how much she'd like to repeat those kisses. Indeed, his kisses make Gina forget why he's following her around. Despite their attraction, they must acknowledge the legal issues that keep them apart, as well as the wicked thoughts keep drawing them together.

Once again author Sherryl Woods pens a heart-touching romance in the third book of her miniseries The Calamity Janes. With her characteristic warmth and gentleness, Woods' characters come alive with the ambiguities and ethical dilemmas that make them both imperfect and believable. While the plot slows at times to bring in the characters from the other books in this series, readers who have delighted in this wonderful series will enjoy the quick asides. TO CATCH A THIEF is a lively and entertaining read, coming recommended.
