After living it up on the reward money, they&#8217;re back where they started, struggling to pay their bills. So when a Chicago Mafia boss demands they return the jewels\u2014plus interest, or else\u2014they need to get the team back together\u2026and fast.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Unfortunately, Simi soon discovers that the necklace is in the hands of Jack&#8217;s nemesis, a highly-skilled and supremely vengeful master thief who is not above a little blackmail to get even. (Did Jack really have to piss her off?) Now, the crew is forced into her working her con in order to get the necklace back.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">As if Simi needed any more complications while trying to rob a billionaire\u2019s mansion, she and Jack are on the rocks, someone else is after her score, and a gorgeous detective is hot on her tail. Simi better be careful or she\u2019ll end up in the less fun kind of handcuffs.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_fjl370 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_ndfm70  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16471 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2_5-hearts-1.jpg?resize=107%2C44&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"107\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Aug 20, 2024<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Simi<\/strong> thought she got out of the heist business until a mafia boss demanded she and her crew pay them back. Now Simi Is back trying to figure out how to keep everyone safe and manage to get the money. The crew is all over the place and must rely on Simi\u2019s ex-boyfriend, <strong>Jack<\/strong>. Simi and Jack\u2019s relationship had to take a back seat when Jack up and left. Now he is back trying to beg for a second chance, but first thing first\u2026they need to get the money.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is not the first book in the series. I know it is not listed as one, and I almost didn\u2019t realize it until I had to question how the characters felt so familiar to me. If you read the first book, you may feel more comfortable with the storyline. I started to root for Simi and Jack to be in another romantic entanglement. However, another person sometimes tries to make a play for Simi.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a lot of fade-to-black, which I\u2019m never a fan of. I want to get a feel of the intimacy in my story. The romance and passion fell to the back burner of this storyline, so having no intimacy felt odd. Not to mention that there is almost a weird insta-lust\/love connection with the characters, especially when the adrenaline was running. I wanted the love to be more organic and not hurried and rushed. I wanted to see them in a more normal setting to gauge if the love was real.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is tons of action and drama to keep readers\u2019 interest. This is not a typical romance. A lot is going on. There is mystery, action, and even murder to help the story along. While I didn\u2019t enjoy this one, and this series is not my favorite, I\u2019m mildly curious to see what\u2019s next. The author sets up the ending for future stories.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, if you really like quick and adventurous stories with a comedic undertone, this is for you.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_z33p70 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3T0JZen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3T4niWV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/til-heist-do-us-part-sara-desai\/1144392688?ean=9780593641323\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/til-heist-do-us-part\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Sara_Desai_Til_Heist_Do_Us_Part?id=V0nkEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been a year since Simi Chopra\u2019s motley crew pulled off a high-wire diamond necklace heist with the help of sexy rogue Jack Danger.

style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s been a year since Simi Chopra\u2019s motley crew pulled off a high-wire diamond necklace heist with the help of sexy rogue Jack Danger. After living it up on the reward money, they're back where they started, struggling to pay their bills. So when a Chicago Mafia boss demands they return the jewels\u2014plus interest, or else\u2014they need to get the team back together\u2026and fast.<br \/><br \/>Unfortunately, Simi soon discovers that the necklace is in the hands of Jack's nemesis, a highly-skilled and supremely vengeful master thief who is not above a little blackmail to get even. (Did Jack really have to piss her off?) Now, the crew is forced into her working her con in order to get the necklace back.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>As if Simi needed any more complications while trying to rob a billionaire\u2019s mansion, she and Jack are on the rocks, someone else is after her score, and a gorgeous detective is hot on her tail. Simi better be careful or she\u2019ll end up in the less fun kind of handcuffs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2_5-hearts-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"107\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Aug 20, 2024<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Simi<\/strong> thought she got out of the heist business until a mafia boss demanded she and her crew pay them back. Now Simi Is back trying to figure out how to keep everyone safe and manage to get the money. The crew is all over the place and must rely on Simi\u2019s ex-boyfriend, <strong>Jack<\/strong>. Simi and Jack\u2019s relationship had to take a back seat when Jack up and left. Now he is back trying to beg for a second chance, but first thing first\u2026they need to get the money.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is not the first book in the series. I know it is not listed as one, and I almost didn\u2019t realize it until I had to question how the characters felt so familiar to me. If you read the first book, you may feel more comfortable with the storyline. I started to root for Simi and Jack to be in another romantic entanglement. However, another person sometimes tries to make a play for Simi.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a lot of fade-to-black, which I\u2019m never a fan of. I want to get a feel of the intimacy in my story. The romance and passion fell to the back burner of this storyline, so having no intimacy felt odd. Not to mention that there is almost a weird insta-lust\/love connection with the characters, especially when the adrenaline was running. I wanted the love to be more organic and not hurried and rushed. I wanted to see them in a more normal setting to gauge if the love was real.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is tons of action and drama to keep readers\u2019 interest. This is not a typical romance. A lot is going on. There is mystery, action, and even murder to help the story along. While I didn\u2019t enjoy this one, and this series is not my favorite, I\u2019m mildly curious to see what\u2019s next. The author sets up the ending for future stories.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, if you really like quick and adventurous stories with a comedic undertone, this is for you.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3T0JZen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3T4niWV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/til-heist-do-us-part-sara-desai\/1144392688?ean=9780593641323\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/til-heist-do-us-part\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Sara_Desai_Til_Heist_Do_Us_Part?id=V0nkEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31498"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31498\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31509,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31498\/revisions\/31509"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
