About the Book:
Will She Choose The Thief, The Detective, Or The Sapphire?
Lex Moore is a thief and a heart-breaker. She takes whatever she wants from men, especially when it’s expensive…
She picked the wrong target in Detective Byron Black. He’ll hunt her down, to make her pay for destroying his career and stealing his heart...
Luca Diotallevi is in deep with the Italian Mafia. He’s got to pull off an impossible heist, but Lex keeps getting in his way. He can’t let her take the sapphire, but he also can’t keep his hands off her…
Will Lex submit to the detective that chased her across the world? Or will she choose the one thief she can’t outwit?
Sapphire is a romantic suspense novel that takes place across the pond. Lex is an expert thief, stealing art, figurines, and the hearts of men. When she breaks the heart of Detective Byron Black, he scours the globe trying to find her. When Lex gets involved in a heist for the same object as another thief, Luca, a member of an Italian mafia, she finds herself on the run. The double-crossing of Lex by a supposed friend leaves her infuriated and set on seeking him out. A day late and a dollar short, Lex finds herself in the sights of the mafia boss who sends Luca and Roma to collect the object by any means possible. Luca, drawn to Lex, doesn't allow anything to happen to her....until she finds herself in the crosshairs of none other than Detective Black.
Lex, Luca, and Byron are excellently written characters. Each character is smart and personable, with emotions and layers making them 3-dimensional. The story is unique and the love triangle is settled nicely. Without revealing her choice I'm just going to say that I'm glad it ended the way it did. She's not good enough for the guy she left behind. Lyrically, the author is a star. Her use of descriptive language, metaphors, and vivid imagery take this book to the next level. The only complain I have is the use of the "c" word during the sex scene on the train. The word is typically used in a derogatory manner and is a huge turn off for me when used during a passionate love scene. Other than that, Sapphire hit all of the positives for story, character development, world building, passion, and suspense. I look forward to getting my hands on the next book.
I purchased my copy of this book from Amazon.
