Synopsis
from Goodreads: Finn
Dalton is the black sheep of his privileged family--because he's
always trying to do the right thing. But do good guys let bad girls
go free? Ask British heiress Felicity Trent. Finn should have called
the cops when he caught Felicity with a fortune in stolen jewels. But
after the hot night they'd shared, betraying her meant he'd never
have her again. Two years later, he discovers Felicity scantily clad
and handcuffed to a bed in a posh Manhattan hotel room. Finn has
three choices. Turn Felicity in. Turn her loose. Or turn her on...
Finn
Dalton is bad boy personified. Felicity Trent should know; she's a
bad girl herself. But for Felicity, life as a jewel thief is almost
as seductive as Finn is--and that's dangerous. Because for a girl
like her one night is all she needs to get what she wants, anything
more means trouble. Now, with both of them after the same thing--the
rarest of treasures--who gets there first might be the last thing
they want.

My
thoughts: This
third book in the Unholy Trinity trilogy is about Finn Dalton, the
partner who was off on a job during the first two books and not
involved in those stories. He's trying to track down a jewel and
return it to it's rightful owner. His path quickly crosses that of
Felicity Trent, an English heiress who is also after the jewel. Finn
and Felicity have crossed paths before, two years prior, when they
had some hot sex and then parted company. He can't quite figure her
out. He thinks she's a thief, in it for the thrills maybe, but his
gut tells him she's not a bad person.
Finn
and Felicity team up, him eagerly as he realizes he wants to know
more about her and get to know her better, her grudgingly.
Neither
Finn nor Felicity ever really stood out as an appealing character,
and their banter didn't seem nearly as witty or entertaining as that
of Kate and Mac in the first book, or Rafe and Elena in the second
book. But I think it was mainly because the whole plot with the jewel
just wasn't my cup of tea and it bored me. It wasn't until the last
hundred pages or so that I finally became captivated and didn't want
to put the book down.
So
for me, not a very high rating on this book, but I think fans of the
author and her writing will probably like it, and readers who enjoyed
the first two books will probably enjoy this one as well. And while
she seems to be a little hit or miss for me, I do like the author's
writing style and her humor and will continue to read her.
