Samantha&#8217;s father, who taught her to be a thief, turns out not to be dead after all. More, he appears to be involved in a theft from Rick. The resulting plot tests Sam&#8217;s resolve to give up stealing, and the balance of independence and trust in Sam and Rick&#8217;s relationship.<\/p>\n<p>These books are clearly designed as a long-range open-ended series,  again reminding me of J.D.

However, the ending bodes well for the continued excitement level of the series, and I look forward to the next one whenever I need either vacation reading or a break from pre-vacation running around.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.: comments on old entries are again disabled, to help me catch any real comments that get labeled spam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suzanne Enoch&#8217;s Billionaires Prefer Blondes is perfect vacation or, in my case, pre-vacation reading (I read it before heading to Japan, where I am now).
