Stolen Goods
Catch Me If You Can meets Tangled in this funny and feel-good adventurous romance, new from bestselling author Kaitlyn Davis, writing as Kay Marie.
Addison Abbot is a dreamer—she dreams of owning her own cake shop, of traveling the world, of finding Prince Charming. But when it comes to actually following any of those dreams, she's a little, well, stuck. So when a devilishly handsome stranger saves her from two robbers with guns and pulls her into the adventure of a lifetime, she's determined to find her fairytale ending—until she realizes he's the most wanted criminal in America, that is.
Thaddeus Ryder was just another run-of-the-mill international art thief until his latest heist went south. Now, his face is on every news station, his name is making headlines, and his partner is working for the feds. Talk about a bad week on the job. His only option is to flee the country. But when hitmen for the Russian mafia interrupt his getaway, Thad gains an accidental companion—a baking beauty who might be too tempting to resist.
When a good girl meets a bad boy, sparks are bound to fly. But this con man is about to discover the only thing he can't steal is her heart...
**To Catch a Thief is a romantic comedy series that's one part humorous and one part heartfelt, with a dash of adventure, a hint of criminal activity, and a whole heap of fun! Each book is a stand-alone romance with a HEA.

My Review
This is the second book in the To Catch a Thief series and having read both, I'd have to say that this is my favourite so far. This time we have Addison, who is one of the three online friends who all share an interest in baking. We met Jo in the first book, she has kept her true identity and the role that she's played in her father's criminal activities. Now, Addison finds out all about what Jo has been up to and finds herself plunged right into the thick of things.
Thaddeus has been Jo's partner in all of these criminal activities, although he knew more of what was involved with it all. Now he's on the run and needing to get in touch with Jo, he breaks into Addison's bakery and tries to use her to reach Jo. Things don't quite go to plan and before she knows what happens, she's on the run with America's most wanted criminal.
Thaddeus and Addison work well together and although Addison is quite a fluffy and soft type, she has a bit of a backbone to her, which is always good to see. The story reminded me a little bit of French Kiss, the film with Meg Ryan in from the 90's, although it was different in many ways.
Like the first book, I didn't see how the happily ever after was going to be able to come about with Addison and Thaddeus, but of course, everything worked out in the end. I won't give anything away and explain what happens, but I enjoyed it.
There's another book to go in this series, with the third member of the baking group set to get her story. I'm looking forward to giving it a read.
