Beauty & the Heist by Maggie Dallen
4.0
Beauty & the Heist by Maggie Dallen is the fourth book in the Barely a Fairy Tale book series. This book tells the story of Holly and Spencer. This can be read as a standalone book. This is the first book I read in the series and did not feel like I was missing anything from the story from not having read the other stories in the series. The background characters were primary characters in the other books.
Holly is beyond honest and cannot tell a lie to save her life. I enjoyed her because she is strong and trying to take care of her family when in a time of need. She will do anything for her sisters even if it is on the criminal side. The problem is her honesty makes the task assigned her next to impossible. I enjoyed that she is honest with her feelings and straightforward. More need to take that as a good example vs. lying and manipulative.
Spencer has shut himself off from the rest of the world. He knows Holly is lying but is not sure what to make of her. As they get to know each other he honestly falls for her despite knowing that she is deceiving him somehow. I liked his character because he has been burned in the past and is careful of who he lets into his life. On the other hand, I could see that deep down he is a caring and loving individual who just has not found his match in life.
I enjoyed the story and the characters. The characters of Holly and Spencer are realistic and fun to read about. I am going to be checking out other books by Dallen in the future.
