Uptown Thief

De: Aya De Leon

Narrado por: Patricia R. Floyd

In this sexy, heart-stopping tale, one smart, sizzling mami robs the rich and protects the exploited - until one heist too many puts everything at stake....

Marisol Rivera barely survived being abused with nowhere to turn. So there's nothing she won't do to keep her Lower East Side women's health clinic open and give disadvantaged women new lives. Running an exclusive escort service for New York City's rich and powerful 1 percent is the perfect way to bankroll her business - not to mention the perfect cover for robbing corrupt CEOs. And when times get even tougher, pulling a heist on a megabillionaire will secure the clinic's future - and her gorgeous crew's - for good.

There's just one problem: Marisol didn't anticipate bad news even more dangerous than her curves. A seductive ex-cop who's too close for comfort and a powerful thug with a score to settle are turning Marisol's precise planning and seductive fail-safes into insidious traps. Now this beautiful modern-day Robin Hood will have to play some lethal wild cards without rules or limits to save those she loves - and live to steal another day.

good story, and thought provoking

An adventure, a novel with social commentary (think Dickens, rather than Jane Austen), a love story, a romance, which is it? Some of each, and a very enjoyable mix. Expect strong women and interesting men.

Yes so good!

I enjoyed the book. Kept me engaged and wanting to know what's next! The narrator was aw3some, but the book....you gotta read it!!!

Story is SLOW. Hang in there.

The story is overall good, but it took a while for it to get going. If you can hang in there until the story picks up:m, there’s many different elements including self growth, education, family, boundaries and trust. With some crime and empowerment. I liked the bilingual element as well.

Very Dry

I was bored it had potential but never came with it really. Narrator was great but that's about it.

Waste of my time

This book was so boring. Let me be fair. I get where the story was going, it didn’t have to take so long to get there. It didn’t have to be so long. It was like the author was trying to fill in gaps. I requested my money back.

Boring!! Could have been so much more.....

Very boring... I love audible books and I am easy to please. The story could have so much more. It had great potential but missed the mark.... I loved Patricia Floyd.

Very Slow Storyline

There were some high points to the storyline, but for the most part it was a very slow read. The narrator's voice inflection, pitch, and tone didn't always match to keep the story flowing.
