"Read in less than a week. Not a very long book but a good story line. Lots of characters & people to suspect! Some suspense but not enough to make me read on when I was tired! " — Helen (4 out of 5 stars)
"Read in less than a week. Not a very long book but a good story line. Lots of characters & people to suspect! Some suspense but not enough to make me read on when I was tired! "
" I note this was one of Tess' earlier books. She writes much better books now. "
" I think the term "suspend your disbelief" applies to this one. What a ridiculous climax and finish. The characters were likeable enough, albeit not well developed, to keep me reading. I won't be going back for more. "
" Not as good as what her other books are. "
" I only listen to the Thief of Hearts "
" Generally good plot, again too much a romance for me. Didn't realize she was such a romance author. "
" I read the first book in this 2 books series and it was okay. I really just couldn't get into it so I put it up for later in regards to the 2nd story. "
" Liked both stories, well written, suspenseful and the proper amount of smut :-) I'm more of a fan of Ms. Gerrisen's books with the Rizzoli and Isles characters, but these two stories in one book were a nice treat. "
" To me it was not her best... it seemed rather flighty. Just didn't have the same chemistry I found "
" When I read the synopsis of this book online it sounded like there was a chance that I would like it. Turns out that it was horribly written and the plots were so boring and not worth it even though this was part of Tess Gerritsen's early works. "
" Thief of Hearts must be one of Gerritsen's early works before she discovered thriller writing. It's a wooden, schmaltzy romance story. I lasted two chapters before throwing the towel in... "
" Enjoyed both books. Probably like In Their Footsteps more as it seemed a more probable attraction than Thief of Hearts. However, both storylines were entertaining. Not Gerritsen's finest work. [library ebook] "
" While I really enjoyed this book, I think I still prefer Gerritsen's medical thrillers. However, this book shows her ability to move beyond one genre. I would recommend this book. "
" Thief of Hearts = Drivel. nuff said.... "
" I listen to this one on audio. The narrator Nicola Barber did a splendid job with Mediocre writing. "
" Read Thief of Hearts only. "
" These are apparently early works of Gerritsen's; there just isn't the same plotting and depth of characterization as her current thrillers. They're more like cotton candy for the brain, very fluffy and light on plot and characterization. "
" Because I like her medical thrillers so much, my expectations were pretty high for this... and expectations were not met. But they're a pleasant, if boring, way to spend a few hours. "
" first book was good, but 2nd was too cheesy & lusty for my taste "
" I liked the suspense of these two books. Spy stuff is great. But there's always that "one scene" that makes me not want to recommend it. "
" Really enjoyed these two complimentary stories! "
" Two wonderful books. Enjoyed reading them "
" These were pretty good political/spy thrillers. I liked Thief of Hearts better of the two. The author does a good job of developing her characters and generally keeps things from getting too predictable. I could do without the cheesy love scenes. "
" I enjoy Gerritson's books because of the strong women characters. This book was more like a "bodice-ripper". I listened to the whole thing hoping it would get better but it didn't. Oh well. "
" seviyorum bu kadinin kitaplarinii :D rizzoli,isles serisi kadar güzel olmasa da bu kitabin konusu da güzeldi ve akiciydi "
" I'm a big Tess Gerritsen fan, but this was a bit too "spy novel" for my tastes. I prefer when she sticks to medical thrillers. "
" First one of her books I have read. Was entertaining, and had a twist at the end "
" Obviously, her beginning work. . . . "
" This was an ok TG book for me..I believe probably one of the firsts. Not as good as the R&I series. "
" took a while and got ther in the end! The end seemed rushed to me. "
" I couldn't get on with this book. I'm sure it's very good (I am a fan of Tess Gerritsen), but I just couldn't get into it. I think I'll stick to the Rizzoli/Isles series and the medical thrillers and avoid her romantic chillers from now on... "
" Couldn't finish this one..supposedly a thriller/spy yarn but all it did was make me regret picking it up.. "
" I ususally like mystery romance books, but this one had too many characters that weren't interesting at all. I don't even feel anything for the main character. It was confusing and difficult to keep everyone straight. I finished it, but it wasn't great. "
" One of Tess Gerritsen's early books (might have been her first?). It was okay, but she has definitely improved as a writer. "
