Book Review: A Thief Consumed by Heather Sunseri

International Thief Book 2

Lola Parks has waited twelve years for revenge against the man who destroyed her family and compelled her into a nomadic life as a master thief, constantly evading Interpol. When she breaks into Claude Marquis’ wine cellar to steal a crate of extremely valuable wine—the last of her family’s legacy—Lola stumbles across highly classified information that could get a national leader, and Lola herself, killed.

Dimitri Tobias forced himself apart from Lola for more than a year, terrified he would lead Jack Barnes, a British crime boss who wants Lola dead, to her doorstep. But when Interpol approaches Dimitri with new evidence about Lola’s crimes, and suspected terrorists blow up her Paris flower shop, Dimitri realizes Lola needs him now more than ever.

The problem? It’s going to take a lot more than the threat of prison or the wrath of terrorists to scare Lola back into Dimitri’s arms.

My Review:

I’ve always adored a good heist story – movie or book. I really enjoy the ones with layer upon layer of double-crosses and betrayals, where our hero thief outsmarts all the forces arrayed in opposition. In this book, we get the opportunity to learn more about Lola’s history and how she came to be in this place in her life as she goes up against the people who were instrumental in putting her there. I love Dimitri, but I didn’t feel as invested in his part in the story, though I loved that he brought Declan in to help. When my real life kept intruding on my time with this book, I got so frustrated. Especially as I got closer and closer to the end, as more secrets were revealed, and the plot got more complex. I just needed to know how it would all turn out. I can’t honestly say I like Lola and Dimitri better than Declan and Brooke, but it’s a near thing. And now I can’t wait to read more about both couples. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
