Saving Mr. Perfect

The Penelope Blue series is best read in order, so for those who haven't read it, I suggest picking up book one, STEALING MR. RIGHT. Penelope and her crew are considered among the best in the business, which isn't surprising considering who her father is. Penelope's days as a cat burglar are in the past now that she is married to sexy FBI agent, Grant Emerson.

When a thief dubbed "the peek-a-boo" robber begins robbing homes of the elite and evading the FBI, Penelope fears her husband suspects her. Penelope is bored. She is trying the whole "normal" thing, but cannot help getting involved in the investigation. What follows is a story filled with danger, humor, and plenty of red herrings.

Penelope is a hoot. She is a combination of incredible smarts, insecurities, and good intentions. While admittedly she makes me a tad crazy, one cannot help but become caught up in her enthusiasm. Grant doesn't want her involved in the case at all, especially when an FBI agent with a dubious career weaves his way onto the case.

Morgan gave us plenty of suspects including Penelope's former crew/friends and stepmother. It was an interesting case and placed Penelope in a lot of new and awkward situations as she tries to assist her husband and complicated things in the process.

Since our couple is married, the romance is served as a side dish, and we witness them grow as a couple, share some heated kisses and make each other crazy. I liked their chemistry and appreciated the give and take between them. Poor Penelope is looking for a way to stay on this side of the law and still have an adventure. I like the direction the series is taking and look forward to seeing Penelope find her niche.

Suspense, relationship growth, humor, and comradery can all be found within the pages of SAVING MR. PERFECT. Fans of mystery, snark and quirky characters will enjoy the Penelope Blue series. It is a refreshing mix of genres. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Book Reviewer
