This was such a great read! I really liked the main characters Elara and Kade and their passion and intense attraction to one another was wonderfully done. I also really liked the humor and the art heist/mystery aspect of this one. I think there is a great blend of thrill, mystery and romance although I wouldn't have minded a bit more romance but it was still great. If the author decides to write more about this couple I will definitely read it. This kind of reminded me of the movie "Entrapment" which I also loved (granted, I haven't seen it in ages but feel like it gives similar vibes) so if you are a fan of art heist/romance type movies, books, I would recommend giving this one a shot. 4.5 stars!

Thank you NetGalley and Kelly Moore for access to the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book has a lot of emotion, twists, and turns in it. Just when you think you have everything figured out another shock wave occurs. The final chapter has me on the edge of my seat, needing to know what will happen. I received an ARC and this is my honest, voluntary review.

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!!!

Kade Hawke is chasing an art thief in Berlin. She is crafty and cunning. She has also been labeled 'poison' by his predecessor. But he is a dedicated FBI agent and won't be deterred. That was until he meets her.

Elara Cross has been stealing priceless art for years. It's is something she is good at but not what she wanted for her life. But she has others to think about. Her first theft and sale was mearly an act of revenge. But the person she sold it too decided to keep her under his thumb.

The story follows Elara and Kade through a dangerous game of cat and mouse while feelings for one another begin to grow. With everything at stake for them both, niether can let down their guard and just let go.

There are some bumps and hills in the path of these lovers and some truly dangerous threats. Follow along, turn the pages and you will fall for them.

Art thief chased by the FBI. Experienced agent is added to the task force.
Chance encounter leads to romance, uncovering a mole in the task force.
Intigue, double cross and betrayal.
Enjoy the story of good versus evil, love triumph over hate.
There's hopefully a next installment

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.
