This story started with the craziest mistaken-identity meet-cute ever! The book blurb alluded to that and it’s what had me excited to read O’Brian’s debut. In essence, Steal My Heart was a mash-up of lighter elements of mystery/suspense, police procedural, and romantic comedy. It was a quick and light read with lots of fun romance and cat & mouse shenanigans. Complete and utter fantasy, but cute and fun, nonetheless. I really did enjoy it.
Who is Mark Finney? What I he doing at 3:00 am? Who is Lexanne Harris? What is she doing this night? What happens that she thinks Mark has arrived early? Who is Cassidy Kramer? What do each of these three people do for a living? Who are Gideon Holt & Ava? After the incident where Lexanne is housesitting, what happened had me rolling my eyes, shaking my head, and still chuckling with a smile. Things were not all quite as they seemed in this book. My, oh my… read and see what I mean.

What happens when you discover a modern day Robin Hood in your city? What if you just so happen to be the Sheriff??? Well, detective in this case. Lexanne is making a name for herself in the Larceny division in LA. She works hard and plays harder but always follows the rules and obeys the laws until she meets a cat burglar.
While house sitting for a prestigious and extremely wealthy family Mr. Catman himself foils her fantasy. Now she finds herself breaking laws and bending rules to catch her man, in more ways then one. What happens if she doesn’t want to arrest him?
This is a very sexy modern day version of Robin Hood. I loved the authors use of comedy with a serious undertone. I fell in love with the characters and the storyline is wonderful. I look forward to reading more from this author.
Sexy and fun and, OMG, I’ve fallen for the cat burglar.
A cat burglar is targeting the wealthy of Los Angeles which makes Detective Lexanne start to fantasy about having sex with a cat burglar. Detective Mark Finney was up for the challenge of making that fantasy come true. But the night they planned the rendezvous, the real cat burglar entered the home that Lexanne was house sitting at. Lexanne doesn’t realize it’s not Mark and played out the fantasy all the way. Then, Mark shows up and Lexanne realizes she just made the biggest mistake of her life.
Afterwards, Lexanne can’t seem to get the burglar out of her mind. It’s pretty early in the book when she finds out who it is, investor Gideon Holt. She falls for him and they hook up multiple times during the book. It’s career sabotage for a police officer, but she can’t help herself. Gideon’s reason for stealing from his clients will surprise you in the end.
I wish this book was longer. I really enjoyed it and wasn’t ready to put it down. There were a lot of twists and turns in this book that kept me on my toes. This is the first book by this author and if she writes other books like this, I will definitely be reading more of her books.
