Suzanne Enoch - Samantha Jellicoe series

As promised i wanted to share with you a series that i love. It was the first series of books i ever read more than once. Since then the only other series that i have don't that with is the 50 shades and Crossfire series.

Don't get me wrong this series is not as hard core as those two are but at the time i was only reading Mills and Boons books and these were a bit different.

I think i bought the first book second hand at a market stall and then had to read the rest. Much to my disgust the library only had one or two of them so i turned to trusty Ebay for help. Now i never pay more than a doller or two for  a second hand book but i was so hooked i paid $20 to get the rest of the series. It was sooooo worth it


So what is the series about i hear you ask?  The series is about a world class thief named Samantha Jellicoe. She was raised by her Dad who was also a thief. She doesn't mind taking things from the wealthy to help her retirement fund. She loves the rush of taking things, of getting past security and also about getting to handle such prized antiques. She studies them and on the side advises museums.

One night during a job Sam bumps, literally into millionaire Richard Addison. Don't roll your eyes he isn't a really snobby millionaire, her is quite down to earth considering he has a British titles and all. Sam saves his life and Richard is captivated.

Now i don't want to give too much away but together they work out who tried to kill Richard and Sam that first night they met and fall for each other along the way. As you can imagine a millionaire with a house load of expensive antiques and a thief, their relationships have lots of ups and downs and trust issues. Also Richard is usually in charge but Sam refuses to bow to his demands. After years of doing things her way she finds it hard to give up control.

This book Is a great start to the series and you will be hooked. I have to say book two for me was the weakest link. It is set in New York and Sam is trying to adjust to Richards lifestyle but there were parts they it's hard to explain but kind of boring. If you can hold oto to book three though it picks up and gets better and better. I have seen lots of people on Suzanne Enoch's website asking for another book, and if i'm honest i did too. I'm not sure how i would enjoy this series if i picked it up for the first time now after reading some pretty
smutty stuff, haha, but i'd like to think it would hold it's own. I'd suggest if you were just hanging around the house looking for a fun series to start, then this could be for ou.
Happy Reading
