A review by atarnus
Any Old Diamonds by KJ Charles
4.0
4.5 stars. Who doesn't like liars and thieves? A gentleman thief love interest always hits the spot. And the protagonist is a nice, relatable character: a struggling artist with just atrocious parents, always accommodating others and staying invisible while harboring strong emotions, both sweet and sad.
Is this a heist story, or a revenge story, or both? You should read and find out. There's also a delicious twist in the mix. It took me a bit to be fully drawn into the story but I got there.
Kind of a side note: I really like how Charles gives her characters some distinctive features. I often have a case of forgot-what-they-looked-like and I'm completely enamored by Jerry's eyebrows or Hart's thighs (in [b:The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting|56239247|The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting|K.J.

Now I'm actually going to read the second book, even though it has a MF pairing, and I haven't much bothered with them anymore.
