Sinful. I loved it.,
By
This review is from: A Touch of Minx (Mass Market Paperback)
Samantha "Sam" Jellicoe used to be one of the best cat buglers in the world. In fact, Sam had been a pro before she even reached the age of ten. (Thanks, Dad.) Then, one year ago, Sam dropped through the skylight of wealthy Richard Addison. Samantha saved Richard's life, but she had been trying to rob him at the time. To be with Richard, Samantha had to retire for being a professional thief and begin a new career.
It has been nine months since Sam began her security consulting and installation business, Jellicoe Security. Joseph Viscanti, with the museum, offers Sam the job of tracking down some Japanese armor. Sam takes the job for a few different reasons; the main one is for the adrenalin rush she'd get. On the side, Sam deals with another theft. This robbery was very recent. Someone has stolen a neutral-gender anatomical dummy from the elementary school. It is not the type of job Samantha would normally accept, but Sam could not tell Olivia (the girl who asked her for help) no. As for Sam's rich Brit boyfriend, Richard, he is building up the courage to propose to Sam. Seems that the life of a former thief is not so dull after all. ***** Author Suzanne Enoch has done a masterful job with Sam and Richard. A few months ago these two characters were in a half-novel length tale (Twice the Temptation). The two were entertaining in that story, but in this one they absolutely ROCK! (Perhaps because it is full-length and the author could add more into the characters. I do not know.) The author actually seems to breathe life into all of the characters in this book. They seemed vivid and REAL! Consider yourselves warned in advance that once you open the cover to this book, you will not want to stop. Absolutely sinful. I loved it! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Hope this is not the last book in this series!,
This review is from: A Touch of Minx (Mass Market Paperback)
It has a year since Samantha Jellicoe met her hot billionaire boyfriend Richards Addison. For their one year anniversary Rick bought Sam a hundred thousand dollar gift certificate for the garden Sam plan on renovating but really Rick wanted to get Sam a engagement ring. Since Rick knows that if he pushes Sam for marriage then Sam might leave him but still Rick decides to take a chance and so he goes head and buys a engagement ring without telling Sam. Rick keeps on giving subtle hints to Sam about marriage and having kids to let her know that he wants her in his life forever.
Meanwhile, Sam gets a call from Dr. Joseph Viscanti, the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, asking her to recover artifacts that were stolen back to the museum. Sam agrees to do it enough though Rich doesn't want her take this job since it could be dangerous. Sam also gets a call from ten-year-old Olivia Donner (Rick's best friend's daughter) and Olivia wants Sam to find Anatomy unit that was stolen from her school. I really enjoyed reading this book. I love the fact that they getting more serious with their relationship. Rick and Sam really have good chemistry. I really like the fact that in this book we finally get to see Rick relax more and works less because usually he always working. Sam is great throughout the book but I really didn't like the fact that each time Rick and Sam got into arguments, Sam always made it seem like Rick was pushing her too much and that he is wrong for trying tell what to do. Loved the secondary characters like Stoney, Tom, and Aubrey (I kept wondering if he really was gay or straight but I think I agree with Sam on this). *Might be Spoiler* I thought the end came out of nowhere and it seemed like a cliffhanger. I mean when Rick pops the question, I really wanted to see from Sam's and not just Rick's point of view because and I want know what was going through Sam's mind and what made her change her mind since earlier in the book when Sam figured out that Rick was going to propose she freaked out. Also I was excepting Rick to do something romantic when he was going to ask Sam to marry him but it really was let down on way he did it. Overall, I really like it and I'm really hoping there will at least one or two more book in this series because I want the next book to be about their wedding and see how Rick and special Sam hands their wedding.

A Touch of Minx,
This review is from: A Touch of Minx (Mass Market Paperback)
Sam and Rick are back and struggling as always to see who is in charge. This time Sam is contracted by a museum to find and "recover" an ancient Japanese suit of armor and two ceremonial swords that went missing ten years ago. And if that's not enough, her archenemy Olivia, Donner's daughter, wants Sam to recover the stolen Anatomy Man that someone stole out of her classroom. To Sam both jobs are about the thrill of the hunt, while Rick just thinks about the risk to Sam and the possibilities of her getting "caught out" while seeking the adrenalin rush "recoveries" give to her.
Meanwhile, Rick is trying, not so subtly, to find ways to keep Sam with him permanently without spooking her. Sam, however, is trying to adapt herself to Rick's expectations without giving up all the "fun" in her life. But with her almost-father, Stony, out in the wind while someone seems to be stalking her, trouble is mounting up and Sam and Rick need to figure each other out quickly before things start blowing up in their faces. A Touch of Minx is a wonderful continuation of Sam and Rick's story and the fun just keeps pilling on! Suzanne Enoch does it again with A Touch of Minx just packing the action, romance and plenty of tension from all quarters to keep all readers eagerly turning the pages. Sam is as spunky as ever while carefully balancing her need for an adrenaline rush and keeping it on the right side of the law to keep Rick's blood pressure down. Rick, on the other hand, is as commanding as ever, expecting everyone to jump on his command - except that Sam most definitely does not! The mix of these two is as hot as ever and the cast of colorful secondary characters demonstrates Suzanne Enoch's flair and ability to create characters that are flawed, yet appealing. Get yourself A Touch of Minx for a fun romp with favorite characters Sam and Rick! Note: A Touch of Minx is the fifth installment in the Sam and Rick adventures, and while it can be read as a stand-alone, it is best enjoyed when the series is read in order.
