A Thief Revealed

A Thief Revealed is the first book in the International Thief series. This can be read as a standalone, but the book ends in a soft cliffhanger and it is clear that the story of Lola and Dimitri is just starting. There is some violence and sex so 18+. If you have read the author's In Darkness series, you are probably already familiar with Dimitri. He was one of my favorite characters and I am glad that the author has decided to write a series with him as the central character. Dimitri is an intriguing man and I'm definitely happy that we get to learn more about him.

A Thief Revealed by Heather Sunseri is the first book in International Thief series. Lola Parks made a mistake eleven years ago and she has been paying for it ever since. She was trained to be a thief who can mingle with society and acquire high ticket items. Lola’s latest assignment is to acquire the Gaft Diamond from Lady Sarah Somerset at her birthday bash. After successfully obtaining the item, Lola is mingling with the guests before she departs. Then Lady Sarah rejoins the bash with blood dripping down her dress. It seems there is another thief after the valuable diamond, and they cut off Lady Sarah’s finger to obtain it. When they discover it is a fake, this thief will go to great lengths to obtain its quarry. Dimitri Tobias was hired by Lord Somerset, Sarah’s father, to keep the family and their valuables safe (if they would just let him do his job). When Lady Sarah ends up dead, Dimitri sets out to capture her killer and recover the diamond. But when Dimitri meets the lovely Lola, he knows she is not a killer (thief—yes). The ruthless bandit, though, will do whatever it takes to capture Lola and get their hands on the diamond. Dimitri and Lola team up to stop the merciless killer. But what happens when Lola steals Dimitri’s heart? A Thief Revealed is a fast-paced romantic suspense. For those of you who have read the In Darkness series, you will remember dashing and enigmatic Dimitri Tobias. If you have not read In Darkness series, it will not be a problem. I thought A Thief Revealed was well-written with thefts, murder and liaisons. Two intriguing characters who are on opposite sides, but they manage to work together (and not just professionally). The story is told in alternating point-of-views (just like the In Darkness series). We get to experience the story from Lola, Dimitri and the cut throat killer. You can feel the chemistry between Lola and Dimitri (smoldering heat). I would have liked more character development regarding Lola and to know more about her early years. At the end of A Thief Revealed, readers are left with some unanswered questions. We will have to wait for A Thief Consumed to get those answers.

Heather Sunseri is one of my favorite authors and I have not been disappointed by any book she's written to date. A thief revealed is a little different than I'm used to from her but she still managed to keep my attention throughout the story. Dimitri is a character from one of her previous series "In The Darkness". I have been waiting a while for his story and this book is the beginning of the telling of who Dimitri is or represents. In this book you will need a thief but the name of Lola and she will cause him to do the unexpected. there are other players of foot in this world and I wondered fill up here in the next installment one being Reynaud, Arias, and Elisha. Which one of these characters have a claim Tallulah as to what extent we've yet to learn all of her secrets. My question is in learning her secrets will we learn more of Dmitri's? This book is for the reader that likes intrigue, mind games, competition, strong domineering men, even smarter women and personal integerity. I have voluntarily read and reviewed this book without obligation to the author.
