The Kiss Thief didn't really work for me. Wolfe and Francesca didn't go together at all. She was fairly naive, and a follower - until she started growing a back-bone. And on top of that, Wolfe was too arrogant and cold for me to think he'd be with anyone, really.
The overall plot also didn't make much sense to me - Francsesca's mafia boss father who was all tough one minute, but also extremely doting, then all of a sudden he became erratic, stepped out on his family, and let his biggest enemy take his daughter.
Francesca had been in love with Angelo since she was very young, and she was sure they were going to get married. Only, because of a box with predictions, she got fooled by Wolfe. And that didn't really make sense to me either. Especially with the way he treated her. He did more than one unforgivable thing in my opinion. Which means that I was never able to be behind the couple or their so-called love.
