I finished reading this funny, sensual, wicked, and delightful book by my new favorite author Samantha Kane.  She writes historical prose and gives us a tantalizing breath of witty characters in the bargain.  I really liked Julianna Harte who knows a thing or two about lifting things that led her to her neighbor Alastair Sharpe.  She only wants to steal a family jewel called the Sharp Pearl said to be a flawless and exquisite. But her night foray into Sharp's bedroom for said pearl is halted when she is confronted by the man himself. Who could guess that the man who now holds a gun while being naked is beyond the pale.  When Alistair hears someone in his chambers, he is alerted to danger.  A thief in the night and a woman at that!  Oh, but can Julianna get away fast enough before the beautiful, handsome blond headed man does something like shoot her or call the constable. Alistair stalks his prey and decides to test the mettle of the woman who stirs his soul.  He will give her the Sharpe Pearl if she will sleep with him this night and calculating on having her as his mistress. Does she dare attempt to lie with a man being an innocent to the ways of passion?  You will have to read and find out what happens to two people who meet their destiny.I received this early kindle read from Harlequin Junkies contest Sue Grimshaw ∙ Category Specialist & Editor at Large∙ Random House Publishing Group
