PI Helen hires a thief to catch a thief, a unique plot that is also the first in the series. It covers several years moving thru Greece and Crete to find. Good Christian story, with enough suspense and characters to keep you interested.

Once a Thief ( Protector Sweethearts - Book #1 )
By: jan Thompson
Once a thief is book one in Protector Sweethearts Series. This is a Christian romance suspense by Jan Thompson. I enjoyed this story. The story and the characters both were ell written. There is lots of characters in this story. The author keeps you guessing through the story. There is action, suspense, intrigue, and danger. I liked God’s love through the story. Private Investigator, Helen, teams up with an art thief to find Mama Hu. A race with time. Will they find Mama Hu ? What happen to her and why? Is once a thief always a thief? This story takes up after a span of several years has gone by. Can’t wait to read book two.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book , but was not told that I had to give a positive review. All opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this book. Starting off, it took me a few pages to get into. After the male protagonist was introduced, though, the whole story jumped to a higher level. He was fun and swoony and caring. A reformed thief who had found Jesus in jail. Running from the bad guys and looking for stolen art was fun, and I loved the multiple endings. Great weekend read.

This is a good mystery that has a lot going on in it. It a lot of concentration to keep up with the characters & the plot. I enjoyed it very much. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Thompson's books. I do love a good mystery that also is clean & also christian. I received a free copy. This is my voluntary, honest review.

I received a free copy of Once Upon Thief by Jan Thompson and this review was given freely.
This is a fast paced clean Christian romantic suspense novella set mainly in Greece and Crete. It has a complex plot spanning many years and many countries and is built around art thieves who are related to a family of American PIs. There are a few gaps. But overall, this a good short novel filled with action, some violence, faith in God and ends in a cliffhanger.

This is the first book in the Protector Sweethearts series. A clean, Christian suspense that will capture your attention right at the beginning and keep you page turning. Humorous at times and a good read. An unlikely combo when PI Helen teams up with art thief Reuben to find her missing mother. Her mother was trying to make amends for some taking some decorative eggs years earlier when she vanishes. A good read that will keep you guessing. I read a promotional copy and voluntarily chose to write a review.
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2017
This book was read as part of an anthology with books by various authors. Sadly, this was by far the weakest. It was plagued with embarrassing grammatical errors on many pages, often multiple ones per page. The story was disjointed, requiring me to re-read many things in order to determine what the author was attempting to say. The resolution of the conflict was rushed, even when taking into account the story's presence in a novella anthology. It was a disappointing conclusion to other solid stories. I will not be seeking out this author's work.
