(  ) jetangen4571 | Aug 15, 2021 | This story has a little bit of everything, intrigue, history, intensity and a touch of romance! Perfect for a one sitting read! I enjoyed the old Hollywood feel. Elizabeth Taylor and several others made this seem so real and authentic. Add Jerome and Ania connection with the setting of France and you have a wonderful tale! Need a quick, easy, intriguing novella! This is it! Grab your copy today! I received this novel for a honest review. (  ) fredreeca | Aug 12, 2021 | Instantly, I was transported back in time with Ania and Jerome as they tried to track down and stop the infamous Leopard, jewel thief. They dynamics between Ania and Jerome is nice. At first I did feel like Jerome came off a bit chauvinist towards Ania. However, the more the story progressed, he and Ania worked well together. The ending does lead to there being more to come hopefully with these two. Which I can see being a nice series. My only fault with this book is that I did not personally jive as well with Ania and Jerome but if there are more books, I could see myself getting closer to them.

This is a fast paced caper. A quick read that got me hooked since the first chapter.
This is the story of the theft of some pieces of jewellery and the search for it. The main characters are the insurance investigator, Jerome Curtis, and the jewell maker, Ania Thorne. They both have a lot to lose so they set out to find the legendary thief, the Leopard.
The story is entertaining and the characters likeable. The story is mostly told by the characters though. The description aren't too long but the reader get the sense of whereabouts or the people the characters are with. The beginning is more dense with information but all ends up being relevant to the story. Those looking for a engaging caper in a past time, this is definitely a great choice.
This romantic caper was at times cliché, but by the end of the book I could only hope for a sequel.
This eARC was given to me by BlueBoxPress and Netgalley in return of an honest opinion. (
