Summary

Opposites attract trouble in this thrilling romantic suspense performed by Amber Riley (Glee, Savvy Sheldon Feels Good as Hell) and a full cast!

Museum curator Amara Grant has big plans. Open a museum in Haiti plans. Return local artifacts to their country of origin plans. Getting fired from the prestigious museum she works at? Not part of the plan. But that’s exactly what happens when she discovers that a priceless set of bracelets on display are actually fake.

With her world turned upside down, the last thing she expects is to be approached by a wealthy benefactor offering the resources to track down the real bracelets. They’ll supply money to travel the world and manpower in the form of a mysterious bodyguard known only as Dante—a man who is as intriguing as he is infuriating.

Soon Amara and Dante are caught up in a web of black-market antiquities and secret societies as their treasure hunt takes them from Los Angeles to London, to the Scottish Highlands and Paris. As if their adventure isn’t daring enough, a powerful attraction ignites between them…and falling in love just might pose the greatest risk of all.

Editorial Review

A multi-country romantically thrilling ride
It Happened One Heist was the kind of adventure I couldn’t get enough of. Museum curator Amara Grant has big plans to return artifacts to Haiti, so when she discovers the priceless bracelets on display are fake and gets fired for it, her entire life changes overnight. What follows is a globe-trotting treasure hunt packed with riddles, secret societies, and black-market antiquities, with stops in Los Angeles, London, Scotland, and Paris. The chemistry between Amara and her bodyguard, Dante, is immediate, and their close-proximity adventure only intensifies their connection. Aside from the romance, I adored the theme of reclaiming what belongs back home. Performed by a full cast led by Amber Riley and Anthony Rey Perez, this book occupied my thoughts every moment, and left me ready for more adventures with Amara and Dante. —Patty R., Audible Editor

Narration was good, with a variety of characters, and an interesting plot that was also fun.

The narrators were great, and the story moved a long at a fast pace. However many aspects of the plot was implausible, with more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese. Easy listening if you dont mind overlooking an under developed storyline.

Fast paced, well narrated

This was a fun listen. Loved that this had multiple narrators, they brought the story to life. It was funny and enjoyed the adventure with a lil bit of romance. Despite being predictable at times it was still enjoyable.

The mixing or whatever was terrible Dante’s voice was so much quieter than Amara’s it was so annoying to listen to. The plot was also super weak and got less and less interesting as the story went on. The conclusion was lame and the characters had no chemistry the more they went on about the list the more irritated I got.

Terrible
