A reformed highwayman and the aristocrat who threatens to steal his heart. Kit Webb has retired from the highwayman life and is currently running a coffeeshop. When a handsome aristocrat comes into his shop specifically asking for Kit and inquiring him to steal something for him, Kit finds himself intrigued. Percy “Lord Holland” wants to steal a little book that his deceased mother had kept on her that would enable him to blackmail his father and get revenge on his father for the horrible predicament he had placed not only Percy in but his best friend and her daughter in. Percy has never done anything related to heisting and is in desperate need of Kit’s help in order to pull off this mission. But the more time Percy and Kit spend together the more they find themselves becoming attached to the other, they just can’t take their eyes off each other and everyone at the coffee shop knows this. Kit use to be a famous highwayman but has settled into a quiet life after his partner died and Kit is injured. He refuses to do the job for Percy no matter how much Percy asks or tries to seduce him, rather he offers to teach Percy how to do it himself. Throw in complicated family pasts, old grudges, and shock revelations that threaten to tear them apart, and soon Kit and Percy will find themselves asking if they will be able to make it out of this together.

This was a fun historical romance and I did enjoy the element of heisting and training. Percy and Kit are an adorable couple, especially with Percy being a little bit mean but cute and Kit being the grouchy but soft one. They learn to trust each other and become vulnerable with one another. Despite issues of class, of the fact that Kit has a grudge against Percy’s father, and the fact they both are facing different circumstances, they really work as a couple. Overall a sweet and fun read!
