But honestly this one's starting to grown on me.. NOT the rest of this series cover though. I really enjoyed this read: View all 8 comments. Last week I found out that she is writing more books about Sam and Rick. I still remember when I wrote her an email - maybe 7 years ago, asking th 4. At that time she had no immediate plans to do so, which of course was a bummer. It's been too long and I wanted to know if I still loved them as much as I did the first time around.

And the answer is YES!!!!! I love how the couple met, and I love the way they are together. This series has everything I love about a great contemporary series. A strong and sassy heroine. A rich alpha male who has trouble keeping his fingers and thoughts to himself. And even though they both struggle with their attraction, not only because they come from such different backgrounds but also because the timing couldn't be more inconvenient, they make it work. I applaud the author for not making it easy on Sam and Richard.

Their struggle felt genuine and necessary. It's not easy to go legit, and the past is the past, it can't just be swept under the rug willy-nilly. Besides the wonderful plot, I'm laughing as much as I did the first time. The dialogues are as snappy as I remember, and the sexual attraction is just right. Wit and charm are plentiful and make this novel an easy and enjoyable read. Throughout the entire book the tension was high, and there were enough twists and turns that kept me guessing and flipping pages, again after so many years.

The author is seasoned, and knows how to write an excellent romantic suspense novel. Her characters were wonderfully fleshed out, with backstories that engaged and supporting characters that enriched the storyline. I'm incredibly excited to read this series again, it features a couple that is easily one of the author's best.

She was too damned sexy for his peace of mind, but at least he seemed to get under her skin a little, as well. Where he wanted was under her clothes.

Perhaps it was sappy, but he felt the need to touch her every few minutes, to make certain she was still there, and to show whoever might be watching, himself included, that she belonged to him—whether she realized it yet or not.

Nine times out of ten when I read romance I read historicals only, unless it's a quick Harlequin presents or something like that.

So it really surprised me how much I enjoyed the Rick and Samantha series. I think what I liked best was the luxury of the settings, the splendor and the wealth, plus the clash of wary, suspicious Sam's alert street-person instincts trust no one, keep backpack ready to climb out window an Adorable jewel thief meets stuffy but caring billionaire -- what's not to like? I think what I liked best was the luxury of the settings, the splendor and the wealth, plus the clash of wary, suspicious Sam's alert street-person instincts trust no one, keep backpack ready to climb out window and the soothing, almost hypnotic spell cast by Rick's warm and tender devotion.

Let me fix you another steak, Miss Jellicoe, and I'll instruct my people to draw you a bath and make up the bedroom suite in the guest wing. The only reason I give this book a four instead of a five is that there's not QUITE enough sex, and also Rick's ex-wife is too much of an annoying cartoon character.

And I would have liked more scenes of Sam wallowing in luxury -- always a big plus for me. But those are just pet peeves -- this book is an amazing classic, and a real rarity to find an author who's actually sexier in contemporaries than she is in her usual Regency setting! I think the key is that Suzanne Enoch isn't trying too hard to be "heavy" just because she's in the present.

She's still having fun with the basic concept of romance. Lisa Kleypas, are you taking notes? Feb 17, Ira rated it it was amazing. Yes, there is few similarities between these pairs, only a bit opposite. The romance rather heavy in this one while the crime side rather light, oh still few dead bodies in this too but not too grim like in Eve's cases. The mystery quite good and well kept. I loves it and Richard almost as good as Roarke, almost I said because he is not geek and because of her thief minds somehow Samantha sound the clever one but of course with 4.

Aug 07, Felicia rated it liked it Shelves: I feel like the author is a good writer and I was compelled to buy the second book in the series to check it out, but it was a little light for my tastes, more chick-lit than I usually read, but still enjoyable. We I feel like the author is a good writer and I was compelled to buy the second book in the series to check it out, but it was a little light for my tastes, more chick-lit than I usually read, but still enjoyable.

We have a sexy billionaire with washboard abs and a cat burglar here, compared to a sexy billionaire and a cop in In Death. I mean, let's be honest, most billionaires are too busy doing their own thing to work out and look like a soccer player, for realz GUYS! I did enjoy the detail of the break-in cat burglar stuff, the main character was a bit too much of being perfect and having every thing in the world drop in her lap perfectly.

Basically I believe that Eve and Roarke exist in my head because for some reason the author makes it plausible, however ridiculous it is on paper, and I just had a hard time believing this one. I gobbled it up like candy, and as soon as I finish this review I'm off to read book 2. I liked Sam -- mouthy, sassy, charming, independent. She's what I would be like if I could pick my personality traits. I loved Rick Addison -- I've always been a sucker for the contemporary romance gorgeous billionaire, and since I quit reading Nora Roberts I haven't had the pleasure of meeting any new ones.

Rick sigh, had a boyfriend named Rick once, still lo A caper book!!! Rick sigh, had a boyfriend named Rick once, still love the name Addison is smoking hot, forceful but not too , perceptive, charming, British and did I say hot?

And, just to give a historical romance fan like me a shout out, view spoiler [Richard Addison has a title -- he's the Marquis of Rawley!!! That made me laugh out loud. A light, fun, entertaining read. Nov 05, Carolyn Crane rated it it was amazing Shelves: I've read the first two, and I'm saving the rest for when I really really need something wonderful and reliable.

I think there are only FOUR! Samatha is a cat burgler, she meets her hero robbing his art collection, and just, wow, this series is insanely delightful. This might sound morbid, but I have half a mind to save the last two for my deathbed. It would be something to look forward to. But then, what if I die in a car accident? View all 4 comments. Jun 20, Steve rated it it was amazing Shelves: I found this book impossible to put down. It started with a literal bang, and kept up with the twists and turns, leaving me guessing at every turn, finally building up to a rather delicious climax.

The resolution was over a little quickly for me, and I did love the characters -- in some ways they remind me a little bit of Eve and Roarke, but are very different people. I am looking forward to reading more in this series. Buddy read with Karen! Boy was this book long! And not the least bit mysterious or suspensy. Everything was just so freakin obvious.

Not saying that's bad but not what you want from a romantic suspense novel either. Think I'll just stick to Eve and Roarke. I'm not a fan of chick-lit.

Flirting With Danger (Samantha Jellicoe #1) by Suzanne Enoch

To be fair, I haven't read many books belonging to the genre, but that's because the few attempts I've made have been a total disaster. I despise the semplicity of the writing and of the characters' psychology. I hate the forced, cheesy notion of love usually depicted in those books. And I usually find the heroes disturbing. They're either too handsome to do anything else than just being good-looking, or total idiots, fully depending on the heroine's nonsense.

If you think the same, go into this series without any reservation. It was chick-lit enough to not be too focused on the "depth" of its characters' feelings, but far from making them look superficial or stereotypical. Sam Jellicoe was the real revelation, though.

Flirting With Danger (Samantha Jellicoe, #1) ~ D0wnLoad PDF & Audio Book

I didn't expect her to be such a foul-mouthed, proud, beautiful heroine. She seduced, kicked ass, impressed and solved the book's mystery, assisted by the story's hero, Richard, always being - if not a step above him - at his same level. She had her own voice and made everyone else listen to it. I absolutely adored her. Richard was a nice character, too. Wealthy, self-assured and with the right touch of troubled. I loved him mostly because of his amazing banter with Sam.

And the equally amazing sex they had The plot, too, reserved some pleasant surprises and felt overall entertaining and engaging. For somebody who likes her books to have an abundance of sex, this book proved the perfect compromise. Compared to an "average" chick-lit story, the sexual element was explicit and generous in every aspect.

I'm looking forward to reading more books of this series. Aug 02, Caroline rated it it was amazing. Yet another confirmation of the reliability of Publishers Weekly starred reviews. I picked Flirting with Danger out of a short list of PW starred reviews and enjoyed every single page.

The author's notes at the end, describing the genesis of the book, are some of the most intriguing and enlightening I've read. Ah, were all authors so honest and informative a Yet another confirmation of the reliability of Publishers Weekly starred reviews. Ah, were all authors so honest and informative about the source of their ideas.

I picked up on the references to "To Catch a Thief" but missed the "Remington Steele" connection -- probably because I didn't watch much TV in the 80s. I'm delighted to see this is the first of a series. Can't wait to read some of the others. Apr 29, Rhapsody rated it liked it Recommends it for: Sam, a highly skilled thief, breaks into billionaire Richard Addison's mansion to steal a piece from his art collection, but she ends up saving his life when she finds a bomb has been set up in his hallway.

When she is implicated for attempted murder, she goes to Addison for help, offering to help him find out who was trying to kill him in exchange. The plot was pretty intricate, with multiple thieves, murders and suspects. All in all, I liked the chemistry between Sam and Addison, even though I Sam, a highly skilled thief, breaks into billionaire Richard Addison's mansion to steal a piece from his art collection, but she ends up saving his life when she finds a bomb has been set up in his hallway.

All in all, I liked the chemistry between Sam and Addison, even though I prefer heroines who are a little more vulnerable. There are another two books it the series I think that I want to read. But on this particular night, Richard Addison is mad as hell. Not only did he just have his gallery blown up-with him about to enter it-but the woman who rescued him didn't stick around to offer any explanations. When the dust settles, Rick knows the only person with answers to his questions is the mystery woman. And if she thinks she can hide from him, she better think again.

I applaud the author for not making it easy on Sam and Richard. Their struggle felt genuine and necessary. It's not easy to go legit, and the past is the past, it can't just be swept under the rug willy-nilly. Besides the wonderful plot, I'm laughing as much as I did the first time. The dialogues are as snappy as I remember, and the sexual attraction is just right. Wit and charm are plentiful and make this novel an easy and enjoyable read. I'm usually pretty good at figuring out "who dunnit", but this one had me stumped until the end. And with the amount of action and really, really good romance, I had a tough time putting this book down for even a few minutes!

Samantha Jellicoe is a thief. Her father was a thief who taught her well. She's also very smart and knows a thing or two about antiquities and art. And she is also a thief with ethics, which makes her a very likable thief. After breaking into the home of the very wealthy Richard Addison, a bomb goes off nearly killing her and the homeowner.

Samantha manages to drag Richard away from the danger and saves his life, but the security guard is killed. Not wanting to be blamed for a murder, Samantha makes a deal with Richard to find out who was responsible. The chemistry between these two characters is sizzling hot! Although I'm more familiar with reading Suzanne Enoch as a historical romance author, this was a pleasant surprise being her first attempt in this genre.

After reading this Book 1 , I am quite anxious to read more in this series. I came late to this party -- though I bought this book years ago, somehow I missed reading it. I'm so glad I finally got to it!

    4. What a delight this was: Doesn't get much better than that! One of Suzanne Enoch's strong suits in all her books is her ability to write dialogue that really helps to connect the characters and to build the story. Also, she is all about show don't tell: I loved this story about a strong, superficially hard-boiled heroine and the superficially tough but thoroughly romantic Hero.

    Flirting With Danger (Samantha Jellicoe, book 1) by Suzanne Enoch

    I love that Enoch's contemporary romances live up to the high bar she set with her historicals! Great for summer porch or beach reading when the woman is an expert thief trying to go straight for her super rich boyfriend but seems to attract trouble like bees to honey. I decided to get this when I realized that I had bought at a library book sale but did not have number 1! I am glad that I did. It is a fun series I am currently in book 3 reading them straight through with likable characters. The writing in the first book reads a little simplistic, which surprised me as it was compared to JD Robb's couple, but it improves with each book, so if you think like I did, stick with it!
