Summary: meddle grandparents know best
Comment: Can an ex-cat burglar find love with an ex-cop? That is the question Julie Kenner asks and answers in Harlequin Temptation #969. It's a very sweet, engaging read. Too quick as most Temptations are, so character development just does not have the chance to really flesh out the characters and true conflict.
In a long length, it could have really been a powerful book. But that is Temptations. Quickie reads. I can read them in an hour, so no matter how good they are, I feel like I have "eaten Chinese"; they are satisfying, but leave you hungry for more. Kenner makes the best of the format with engaging characters.
Melissa Tanner was raised by her grandfather. The elder Tanner is a dashing may even in his twilight years. Once a bit-actor in many Hollywood films, he was in love with the starlet from the period, Emily Radley. However, the studio pressured Emily not to drag her career down by marrying him. Both married, both are now widowed, both have grandchildren they want to see settled. So Emily plots a meeting between her grandson, Kyle and Gregory's granddaughter, Melissa. During his younger years, Gregory was a small time cat burglar, and he passed on
his skill to Melissa. However, she has turned over a new leaf, wanting to go straight. She is stuck finding a job, it's her birthday and life is looking rather bleak with the tax man practically knocking on the door.
Kyle has retired 10 years ago, and now runs a high tech security agency, which is under siege. Getting involved with any woman is not high on his list of priorities, and when that woman is a thief it's double double toil and trouble. Only, this thief was putting something BACK! Sparks fly and they are soon following the route character by them.
The characters are charming, so are Gregory and Emily. The plot is developed as well as the very limited length permits, but it causes the secondary plot of the mystery to see so obvious that is undermines this. Still, Kenner's writing is sharp, she has good control of her "voice", just wish Harlequin would give their writers about 25 more pages. I think both writers and readers would appreciate a strong foundation to this line. (Writer get 5 stars, Harlequins forced format gets 4)
