This book had me cry laughing and it was so much fun! This was my first ever Heist book and I can say that I want so many more! The plot of this book was fantastic and I ate up every moment of it! I enjoyed the witty banter and the mystery of it all. The characters were easily likable, even some of the side characters had me laughing out loud, This book was so good I don’t even think I have the words. I immediately want to read everything Sara writes! Perfection and a new comfort read for me!

Such a fun read!

I absolutely adored the characters in this book. Desai did a great job in giving them all such unique and fun personalities. This could be a cute little rom-com movie!

Who knew what I was missing was a heist / mystery romance?? I love Desai’s writing! It’s quippy and fun, with banter and a character driven plot. This is a binge-worthy read!

So the premise at the beginning of this book for all of this to happen was a little bit ridiculous. Like has this happened to people yes but for a character that smart to fall for it threw me off for a bit. However once you get past that this is a fun and fast book. I loved the crew of characters and the family they built.

I love a good heist plot but this was truly forgettable. I genuinely cannot remember the plot or the characters. If you’re looking for a good con artist romcom, try Partners in Crime by Alisha Rai instead.

Five stars! My interview on While You Were Reading, a podcast for contemporary romance readers is here:

Desai’ voice is delightful as always, pulling us in with exceptionally written characters and a vibrant sense of setting, and this definitely book shines brightly as one of my favourite Sara Desai’ romances to date.

Anyone looking for your next fun, action packed, romance read, pick up To Have and to Heist. If you enjoyed the adventure of Partners in Crime by Alisha Rai, this is for you. There's immediate intrigue in this heist romance novel. But there's an undeniable and foundational core of friendship and humor. Because - let's face it - the average reader or person wouldn't be great at a heist right off the bat. In To Have and to Heist I loved the friendship between Simi and her best friend, this extremely rag tag group of maybe criminals, and the humor on every page.

Oh, To Have and to Heist was exactly as much fun as I hoped it'd be. I absolutely loved this, reading through it in an afternoon. I am a sucker for a heist novel, and Sara Desai is a master of the rom com.

A fun read with a hilarious cast of characters. I just hope there's more to come of The Wedding Crew!

I really, really enjoyed this book! The beginning is so outrageous where an unknown man GRABS the main character and pulls her into a BUSH and she FLIRTS WITH HIM!!! Absolute bonkers but I loved it. It has many, many other delightfully kooky scenes that somehow magically does not come across as cringey.

It's a strong improvement from Sara Desai's previous book and I'm looking forward to seeing what she writes next.

It was very slow in the beginning and I just couldn’t get into the book. If felt too little like a romance novel. The main character seemed childish. I just don’t think it was the book for me

Highly entertaining and emotionally trilling journey that was so hard to put down. Sweetly heartwarming, sexy and fun small-town journey that was filled with intriguing charters, witty banter and simmering passion.... was a great read from beginning to end.

Fun promise that delivered plenty of hijinks. Disappointed by the build-up of sexual tension only for it to not really deliver. Loved that the cover up wedding company basically became a real thing.

I absolutely LOVE a book that will make me laugh, and this one knocked it out of the park. This was one of the funniest books I've ever read! I enjoyed it so much! A great lighthearted romcom.

This was really fun! I loved all the action-the book kept moving and was a quick read. I enjoyed the main characters a lot. My library has purchased this book. I will read more by Sara Desai.

I loved all the chracters EXCEPT for the lead hero, I would love to have more books of the other characters but this was probably Desai's least favorite book for me

I LOVED this book. The perfect combination of funny, heartfelt, and action-packed. Desai has quickly become an auto-buy author of mine!

I never knew where this story was going to go! It had such good adventure to go with the romance! I love a good spy/heist story and this book delivered! Was slow to get into, but once the story got going it didn't stop! The FMC and MMC are dynamic and funny and even the support cast in the story had their own individual personalities that kept the story interesting!

This is my first read by this author, and I must say that I quite enjoyed the storyline and characters. It is a suspenseful romance between Simi and Jack. There is no denying the sizzling chemistry and strong connection between these two intense but likeable souls. It is a romantic adventure with drama, intrigue, danger, action, mystery, suspense, steam, humor, surprises, twists and turns, plus appealing secondary characters to keep the reader interested. An engaging page turner.
