A Thief Consumed

A Thief Consumed by Heather Sunseri is the second novel in the International Thief series. It has been a year since we last saw Lola Parks with Dimitri in the south of France. Dimitri disappeared, and Lola has not seen him since then. Her mentor, Elisa Garment has been training her to liberate a rare blue diamond. Reynard Jules has a special opportunity for her, and it is one that Lola has been wanting for twelve years. Claude Marquis has recently obtained the remaining six bottles of a limited edition Bordeaux that Lola’s father created. Lola blames Claude for her father’s death and cannot wait to acquire the wine. Reynard insists that she also procure the Paul Gauguin from Claude (of course). In disguise at a dinner party, Lola sneaks into the wine cellar and locates the wine. She is only able to hide it and grab an envelope from the crate before she must depart. It turns out that the envelope contains papers that several parties are desperate to obtain. Dimitri left Lola to keep her safe and he has been keeping an eye on her from a distance. But when shots ring out at her shop, he quickly jumps into the fray. Dimitri is then approached by Interpol who is close to identifying Lola. They have an offer for the pair. Lola’s heart was broken by Dimitri and she is not about to let him right back into her life. She will have to figure out what to do while staying one step ahead of the interested parties. Join Lola and Dimitri as they fight for their lives in A Thief Consumed. A Thief Consumed is a fast-paced romantic suspense novel. We get to know more about Lola and her upbringing, and her family. It explains how Lola became a thief and why she is estranged from her family. I recommend reading the books in the International Thief series in order. Otherwise, you will be missing some key details. Declan is consulted by Dimitri in this installment for those of you who enjoyed the In Darkness series. I thought A Thief Consumed was well-written with plenty of action and plot twists. There are adult scenes that are for the mature audience. The point-of-view switches between Lola and Dimitri so you can see the story from each of their perspectives. It can be confusing especially when I put the book down and come back to it because then I must figure out which character is talking. The ending will have you chuckling and wondering what is in store for Dimitri and Lola next time.

Heather Sunseri in “A Thief Consumed” may have created my all-time favorite couple in romantic suspense! Dimitri Tobias and Lola Parks are not the stereotypical knight in shining armor and damsel in distress. They are both perfectly gorgeous, and each equally badass with mad skills! This, in combination with a story that involves international crime, Paris, secrets, bad guys, and plot twists that you never see coming make for a story you won’t want to miss! My favorite part of this book, other than the plot twists, is the mutual respect shared between Dimitri and Lola. I’m not going to share more of their story. It is something you have to experience yourself. Get your copy as soon as possible!

Heather Sunseri did it again-I could not put this story down and read it in a few days. I love Dimitri and Lola together. It’s a very exciting and fun book. It is a lovely escape from reality. She takes you on a thrilling adventure filled with love, romance, heists, double crossings and more! I highly recommend this book.
