Publisher Description
LOVE IS PRICELESS in Stealing Taffy by New York Times bestselling author Susan Donovan.
Ten weeks in a swanky Arizona rehab center and Tanyalee Newberry, aka Taffy, is ready to give up everything that isn’t good for her—her forgery habit, taking (i.e., stealing) things that don’t belong to her, and, of course, men. But when her flight home gets rerouted, she finds herself in a hotel room with her smoking-hot travel companion. One night together is all it should have been. But passion is oh-so sweet…
Special Agent Dante Cabrera has been duped at his own love-’em-and-leave-’em game by this so-called Taffy. To forget she ever existed, Dante buries himself in his work…until a case leads him to North Carolina and, impossibly, right back to her. He has no business messing around with this felonious femme fatale, especially one who could be in more danger than she thinks. But Dante also knows there’s more to her than great looks and hot nights—a soul-searching woman who wants amend her past sins. Is he ready to take their desire to the next level…and steal Taffy’s heart?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this entertaining but too-neat third entry in the Bigler, N.C., contemporary series (following 2012's I Want Candy), Tanyalee Newberry, aka Taffy, knows that it's time to make amends. She's a breathtakingly beautiful southern belle and also a felon on probation and a master manipulator. Returning from a stint in rehab for her compulsive spending, kleptomania, and love addiction, she goes on a mission to seek forgiveness from everyone she's hurt. Taffy meets Dante Cabrera, a special agent with the DEA, and they spend an anonymous, passionate night together. Dante, who's trying to get transferred out of Bigler, can't get Taffy out of his mind. So when they unexpectedly meet again, sparks fly, though they both have their reservations. The plot wraps up a little too easily and some parts feel a bit forced, but a cast of relatable secondary characters, plus some red-hot chemistry and drug cartel intrigue, round out a hopeful and fun tale.

Fun sexy read
It's been quite a while since Susan Donovan has taken us to Bigler, NC but she does so in this book in spectacular fashion! The always self centered manipulating Tanyalee Newberry us fresh out of rehab where she finally had to admit to her issues. She's trying for a fresh start though and nothing can keep her from achieving her goals. When bad weather has her flight rerouted and leaves her stranded, she decides she can start her whole new life tomorrow, after an incredibly passionate night with a stranger. Dante Cabrera can't believe it when he wakes up alone. The incredible woman he had just spent the night with had sneaked out in the middle of the night never to be seen again. That is until they both turn up in Bigler!
This is a fun, zany read that will have you laughing out loud. I definitely recommend it.
