"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."
— Christina (4 out of 5 stars)
" Not as good as what her other books are. "
— Sherry, 1/14/2014" 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. "
— Jill, 1/3/2014" first book was good, but 2nd was too cheesy & lusty for my taste "
— Shally, 12/24/2013" 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. "
— Naomi, 12/17/2013" 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. "
— Nicole, 12/14/2013" 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. "
— Natalie, 12/12/2013" I note this was one of Tess' earlier books. She writes much better books now. "
— Merryll, 12/12/2013" Generally good plot, again too much a romance for me. Didn't realize she was such a romance author. "
— Shirley, 12/2/2013" I listen to this one on audio. The narrator Nicola Barber did a splendid job with Mediocre writing. "
— Teea, 11/14/2013" 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. "
— Karen, 6/2/2013" 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... "
— Miss, 5/14/2013" 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] "
— Lanette, 5/12/2013" Two wonderful books. Enjoyed reading them "
— Marla, 3/12/2013" 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. "
— Karleneb, 11/9/2012" Read Thief of Hearts only. "
— Starr, 10/6/2012" To me it was not her best... it seemed rather flighty. Just didn't have the same chemistry I found "
— Megs, 7/21/2012" I only listen to the Thief of Hearts "
— Jan, 6/7/2012" 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. "
— Susan, 3/23/2012" Thief of Hearts = Drivel. nuff said.... "
— Jessica, 10/26/2011" 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. "
— Cheryl, 9/26/2011" 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. "
— Maria, 9/11/2011" Really enjoyed these two complimentary stories! "
— Megan, 3/12/2011" 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. "
