The Kiss Thief

By: L. J. Shen

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter, Savannah Peachwood

They say your first kiss should be earned.
Mine was stolen by a devil in a masquerade mask under the black Chicago sky.
They say the vows you take on your wedding day are sacred.
Mine were broken before we left church.
They say your heart only beats for one man.
Mine split and bled for two rivals who fought for it until the bitter end.
I was promised to Angelo Bandini, the heir to one of the most powerful families in the Chicago Outfit.
Then taken by Senator Wolfe Keaton, who held my father’s sins over his head to force me into marriage.

They say that all great love stories have a happy ending.
I, Francesca Rossi, found myself erasing and rewriting mine until the very last chapter.
One kiss.
Two men.
Three lives.
Entwined together.

And somewhere between these two men, I had to find my forever.

Really really good book to listen too

Loved it. I’m a huge fan of LJ Shen. All her books are amazing. Can’t wait till there is more!!!

Hooked me!

I was hooked from the moment the kiss was stolen. I was frustrated at times by Francesca but then I reminded myself that she was only 19. Wolfe was such a hard man to like, as time goes by and you uncover his reasons you can't help but fall in love with him. Narrators did a great job bringing all the characters to life.

MORE THAN EXPECTED!

I don't normally comment or rate books (read or audio). But this book...

First, I kept passing this book from my recommended titles. But, I was in a slump and felt like I was reading and listening to the same storyline repeatedly. I was halfway through Chapter 1 and I was hooked! It's not the typical love triangle, mafia, or any one specific topic, which sent me on an emotional roller coaster.

It is more than expected and worth the credit or purchase!

Oh, my heart!

Betrayal, backstabbing, and dark secrets lace this story about a strong willed but virtuous young woman whose betrothal is stolen from her by her father's long ago transgressions. Wolfe Keaton is a dangerous man and absolutely makes Francesca Rossi's blood boil over when their engagement takes her away from her promise to her childhood crush Angelo.
But there's a lot to the story and without adding spoilers, I'm just gonna say it was a pretty addicting ride to the end. And the ending was magnificent.
Savanna Peachwood's narration is the epitome of an emotional, coming of age heroine who knows fights for what she believes in. Stephen Dexter portrayed the Senator with just enough bottled rage in his tones to entice but keep at a distance. Both of these narrators performed amazingly.

interesting love story

i loved how what you thought was going to happen the opposite did. i highly recommend this book.

Hauntingly Beautiful

Amazing book! My heart broke so many times but LJ somehow found a way to pull me back together every time. I couldn't stop listening once I'd started. The Narrator's were perfect. I usually enjoy lighter love stories but this was hauntingly beautiful and I have no regrets.

Why Have I Waited

Loved this...just like every other L. J. Shen I’ve read/listened to. I didn’t love Stephen as Wolfe...but it was still a good narration.

Perfection

Stephen Dexter and Savannah Peachwood are the perfect narrators! The book just flowed so well with them. Any book their narrating, I want to listen to! Amazing narration and even better book!

A bit annoying

oh boy, was promising in the begging. ms peachwood is annoying voice with kid like submission, not a good idea. 19 vs 30 and he is all smitten, by what exactly! any man would not tolerate her childish behavior of wait she is a child. just whatever

Ok

It was a good book. I would recommend it. The narrator did a good job.
