Product Description:
Finn Dalton is the grey sheep of his privileged family-because he's always trying to do the right thing. But do good guys let bad girls go free? Ask British heiress Felicity Trent. Finn should have called the cops when he caught Felicity with a fortune in stolen jewels. But after the hot night they'd shared, betraying her meant he'd never have her again. Two years later, he discovers Felicity scantily clad and handcuffed to a bed in a posh Manhattan hotel room. Finn has three choices. Turn Felicity in. Turn her loose. Or turn her on...Finn Dalton is bad boy personified. Felicity Trent should know; she's a bad girl herself. But for Felicity, life as a jewel thief is almost as seductive as Finn is-and that's dangerous. Because for a girl like her one night is all she needs to get what she wants, anything more means trouble. Now, with both of them after the same thing-the rarest of treasures-who gets there very first might be the last thing they want...Visit us at www.kensingtonbooks.com.

When Finn Dalton and Felicity Trent cross paths again it's once again in the middle of a job for both of them - a job that generally involves retrieving jewels for various reasons. How can two apparent jewel thiefs have any future together? But when Finn and Felicity start working together to hunt down a gemstone they start to unravel more going on than a simple theft. Why are so many people after the gemstone and might it have more significance for Felicity's employer than she realises? Can Finn and Felicity trust each other, despite knowing they are working for different ends? Can their race to find the gemstone end happily?
This wasn't a badly written book with various plotlines, a jet-set lifestyle and some small puzzles. However it was also rather disappointing with lazy plotting in places (Finn's friend Rafe seemed to always be able to find out the information Finn needed, any time of day or night, despite his own romance story apparently taking place at the same time) and some rather improbable events. Finn was a fairly well drawn character but I didn't ever feel that I knew Felicity and she wasn't as likeable as Finn. The Advanced Reader's Copy that I read had some mistakes in some of the British aspects of the book (famous biscuits being called MacIvities, rather than McVities, for example), and I felt rather unconvinced about the puppetmaster behind Felicity and some of the other Brit characters. Still it was a reasonable read and surprisingly different than the previous instalment in this series, showing that the author has more than one string to her bow plot-wise.

Finn Dalton and Felicity Jane Trent are thieves tracking the same gem. Finn and Felicity have a history together, a history that is part business and part pleasure. The undeniable chemistry between them has never been as strong as it is now. They desire each other but don¢t necessarily trust each other. Finn proposes they team up this time. Felicity is wary, but for the good of the hunt she agrees. The stakes are high this time. Finn is putting his heart on the line. Felicity is hiding something from Finn though. Can she trust her secret and her heart to a thief?
Fin and Felicity take a high stakes adventure in The Black Sheep and the English Rose. The fact that either one or both of them could be lying to get the gem kept me on edge, waiting to see what would happen. The chemistry between them is intense. It simmers chapter after chapter until it finally boils over. A mystery and a red-hot romance make The Black Sheep and the English Rose a fun and sensual book to read!

In New York City, Finn Dalton sneaks into a hotel suite only to find jewel thief Felicity Jane Trent tied naked to the bed. They have a history competing for precious jewels, but have not seen one another since Prague two years ago. Finn offers to team up with Felicity Jane to retrieve the Byzantium gem that both want; she asks how to split one stone and he says he is not sure, but there are other things he desires. She explains that artifact dealer John Reese caught her looking into his things. He tied her up and left with the stone. He is meeting his buyer's contact. Finn asks Felicity Jane why steal when she is wealthy and runs a renowned charity. She will not respond, but he assumes it is the thrill.
Finn and Felicity Jane join Reese and his client Andreev, who is buying the gem for octogenarian collector Chesnokov. Andreev leaves followed by Reese. Finn and Felicity Jane go to Reese's hotel room where they know an unknown woman had been there. They take a glass that might have her fingerprints on it. At his Manhattan sanctuary he learns the prints belong to Julia Forsythe, a San Francisco art dealer; they find her itinerary on the net. They believe Reese went to California with her so they follow them. Finn and Felicity Jane want one another, but he insists she stop stealing; she refuses.
The lead couple is terrific as they share an odd confrontational loving history filled with sexual innuendos while the return of the lead characters from the previous "Black Sheep" tales adds depth as they perform critical but minimized support roles. The mystery of what is truly going on is cleverly disguised; however, the "villain" never makes a very first person appearance leaving the audience somewhat dissatisfied. Still this is a fine romantic suspense.
