Book Blurb:
She wants to steal his Van Gogh. He wants to steal her heart. Some people would call Clementine Abernathy a criminal. She considers herself a modern day Robin Hood, who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Not exactly on the up-and-up, but she knows what it's like to lose everything. Her latest heist involves swiping a priceless Van Gogh from its owner, who's supposed to be an egotistical trust-fund brat. Turns out Jack David is a sexy, kind-hearted man...and Clementine is in trouble. Falling for her mark would make her the World's Dumbest Conwoman, but Jack is charmingly persistent, always singing sweet songs in her ear. And that earth-shattering kiss? She never stood a chance. Now she's imagining a fresh start with this dashing man, but that means telling Jack about her past. And other nefarious sorts are after the same painting. Too soon, Clementine learns what it means to risk it all for love.

****
Don't Go Stealing My Heart is a great read! I love Kelly Siskind's writing. It is so fresh, quirky, fun and different. Her New Orleans Rush was one of my favorite books in 2019. Don't Go Stealing My Heart has that same signature style. You get so many fun characters and special touches- from an Elvis impersonator competition to matching pet lizards!
This is Clementine and Jack's story. Clementine was orphaned as a child and the man who raised her brought her up to be a con-woman and thief. She is now an adult, but she still does jobs for him and raises money from her thefts to send to an orphanage in India, in true Robin Hood style. She comes to a small town playing a judge to an Elvis tribute artist festival, planning to steal a famous painting of one of the town's residents, Jack. She meets him before she arrives in town when his car is stuck on the side of the highway. Not knowing who he is, she lets herself be seen as herself, instead of her made up con-persona. They have an instant connection, but things get complicated when they meet again in town and she discovers Jack is her mark. After spending time together, they explore their connection and she knows she can't steal from him. She must decide if she can give up her life of charity thieving and start over for love and Jack must decide if he can forgive her for her past when he finds out who she really is.
I really liked this story. It did start a little slow and the chemistry took a bit to feel. But the couple was a great match. I loved Clementine and Jack. They were fun, quirky characters with good banter and many layers to them. Clem was a great, kind person, totally at odds with her cat burgling past. She was conned herself and groomed into her lifestyle, thinking it was for charity and not knowing how wrong it was. Jack was shy at first and very sweet, but soon showed his strength and kindness, not to mention being an alpha in the sheets. They had a good, slow burn chemistry and an amazing soulmate connection. The end made me knock the rating just a bit, as I thought it was kind of abrupt. I didn't completely love the way the everything wrapped up and I wanted a bit more resolution overall. Still, I liked the book a lot, if not quite as much as New Orleans Rush. It was such a charming read with so many extra special touches.
Overall, I really enjoyed Clementine and Jack's sweet and quirky love story. I can't wait to see what Ms. Siskind comes up with next.
