I enjoyed this book. It was a little slow start for me, but I got into it once Kade and Elara fell for each other. But can he really trust her? Is she playing him? Loved staying on edge and that they get a happy ever after. I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy and I recommend this book.

Kelly Moore’s She Came with a Warning is a delightful blend of romance, humor, and mystery that keeps readers entertained from start to finish. The story pairs an FBI agent with his mark—a dynamic that’s as complex as it is charming. While their relationship begins under professional pretenses, it quickly evolves into something deeper and more unexpected.

The chemistry between the characters is the heart of the story. The agent, torn between duty and newfound feelings, and his mark, focused on getting her job done, create a tension-filled yet endearing dynamic. Their banter is sharp, often laugh-out-loud funny, adding levity to the more serious undertones of the plot.

Moore’s writing skillfully balances the lighthearted moments with a touch of mystery, ensuring the story never loses its edge. The plot is engaging, with just enough twists to keep readers guessing without overshadowing the character-driven narrative.

She Came with a Warning is a charming read that delivers on multiple fronts: it’s cute, funny, and sprinkled with intrigue. Kelly Moore has crafted a story that will appeal to fans of romantic comedies and lighthearted mysteries alike. A thoroughly enjoyable book that leaves you smiling.

When an art thief is pursued by FBI agent Kade Hawke, she decides it’s time to quit running and place her shakey trust in Kade, to help her get out of the situation that keeps her stealing! But can she place the ones she loves in that kind of danger!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you for allowing me to review

Crime and romance take an epic and dramatic ride! I enjoy that this book is uses the "bad girl" trope when it always seems to be the male character that is "bad" and needs to be redeemed.

This was a good book! I think that the themes were good, and I love the secrets and how more and more becomes discovered as we read on. I liked the pacing of this book, and it was a good pace!

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

Kelly Moore does a fantastic job in writing this book, it had that element that I wanted and enjoyed from the genre. The concept was strongly written and was hooked from the first page. The characters had a charm to them and was invested in what happened to them.

Wow - if you are looking for a book that captures you from the beginning this is the book for you. From the moment Kade takes on the FBI case of the beautiful woman who has a knack for stealing, the adventure begins. Elara and Kade should be on opposites sides but one spark sets them and the case on fire. You will not be able to put this one down!! Fantastic read from Kelly Moore.

The story flowed well and the characters were well developed. I recommend this book and look forward to more from this author.

Another page turning book by Kelly Moore. Right from the start I couldn’t wait to see how Kade and Elara’s relationship was going to play out. Kade, an FBI agent, has an immediate connection with Elara who is a wanted art thief. Kelly weaves action and suspense into this book and will Kade and Elara get their HEA. Loved the antics of Ember.

Wow! Buckle up for this one. It was fantastic! I was so drawn in from the very beginning. Such a fantastic book.
