He came for the painting…

Soren Stapley is a professional thief. He is prepared for every scenario and has a plan for every situation.

But he never planned for her.

The painting he needs? It’s being guarded by the woman he once loved and the nine-year-old terror she’s nannying.

What’s worse? He’s not the only one hunting it down.

Christmas is about to get complicated…

…she became his reason to stay.

Maya Perry is out of options. Her job as a nanny is the only thing standing between her and rock bottom, and she’s not about to lose it—not to Arabella Hartwell, a feral child with a Nerf gun she nannies, and definitely not to the thief who shattered her heart. Soren may be charming, but he’s dangerous. And still the guy who broke her heart and apparently learned absolutely nothing about knocking.

It’s only a matter of time before he disappears again, but this time, Maya isn’t going to break.

At least, that’s the plan.

Silent Heist is an adventure filled, closed door, Christmas romantic comedy inspired by Home alone.

Silent Heist - Jenessa Fayeth - ARC4.9/5✨0/5🌶️An unexpected event will bring Soren Stapley and Maya Perry, once again, in each others proximity. They had a complicated past, one which left Maya with a broken heart, from which she never completely healed.Soren was a professional thief trying to recover a painting, which, unfortunately, was located exactly where Maya worked as a nanny for a nine-year-old girl. Because he wasn't the only one wanting that painting, these three were about to dive into a really complicated situation, one which will become a bit dangerous at times, but the comedy of the moment was still very much present. How will this whole event turn out in the end? Will Soren be able to convince Maya of the necessity of having that painting?OMG! How much I adore Jenessa's books!! I'm always having the bestest time reading her books and this one didn't disappoint! I loved all those moments with Soren, Maya and Arabella (the little girl), which were filled with funny events. It also had an emotional side, which complemented the whole story so well. But the main focus was on the constant bickering between Maya and Soren, who never saw things eye to eye. All of that was super delicious to follow and I couldn't get enough of it!! And you can't not ignore all those "Home Alone" hints, which were super hilarious!I'm so thankful for accepting me to receive this e-ARC, Jenessa! Super happy that I had this opportunity and because I love collecting "book trophies" of my favourite reads, I had to own a paperback version of this book!✨Tropes#EnemiesToLovers#RomanticComedy#SecondChance#FoundFamily#ProtectiveMMC#ClosedDoorRomance

Secrets revealed

Maya has her identity stolen, and ends up becoming a nanny. Soren is an old flame that is planning on stealing from her employer. Unfortunately, other people want the same painting. Soren, Maya and Bella work together to keep themselves and the painting safe. A great read with humor and romance.

SO MUCH FUN!

“This whole time I’ve been trying to prevent a crime, not commit one. Is this how all criminals start out? Accidental murder?”OOOOOKAY—Jenessa Fayeth, I SEE YOU.This book was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.10/10.NO NOTES.NO EDITS.I went into Silent Heist looking for something purely fun and entertaining, and this delivered in the BEST way. The characters are fantastic, the banter is sharp, and I laughed out loud so many times thanks to the pranks, booby traps, and nonstop chaos. And the romance?? SECOND CHANCE + FORCED PROXIMITY + SO MUCH TENSION. I was fully invested.It’s all fun and games until robbers keep showing up… and somehow it just keeps getting better. Cozy, clever, festive, and laugh-out-loud funny, with just enough swoon to make your heart happy. If you want a book that will entertain you on a cold winter night and remind you why reading is FUN, THIS IS YOUR BOOK.I loved it so much I immediately added Jenessa’s entire backlist to my TBR (starting with Liam’s story because OBVIOUSLY). I could not have loved this more.I purchased this book myself and it was worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. Silent Heist is available now—and yes, I’ll be linking it in today’s stories. GO GRAB IT.Happy Reading🎄📚Content / Notes: burglary and crimes, mention of a removing life support fraud scandal (no details on deaths), mild peril and HILARIOUS suspense (pranks and booby traps), romance—kisses only.

Banter, Break-ins and a Brat (that'll win you over)

First time reading this author, but it definitely won't be the last. I'm a superfan of lots of dialog and these character's banter had me laughing out loud numerous times. The romance is also spot on and throw in a little action and it checked all the boxes for me. Can't wait to dive into more hijinks with this author.
