This is the first book in a series of contempory novels about Samantha Jellicoe and her boyfriend, British billionaire Richard (Rick) Addison.
Previously I had only read S. Enoch's historical novels and indeed I first came across Rick and Samantha in the novel Twice the Tempation, which starts off with Rick's ancestor and then goes onto Rick and Samantha in present time. I then bought some of the other Rick and Samantha novels.
In Flirting with Danger, Sam Jellicoe, a very successful American cat burglar, breaks into Richard Addison's Florida house to steal a Trojan artifact. The information that she has received from her fence is that Addison will be away until the following day.
However, information and luck isn't going Sam's way, for Addison is back a day early, by chance discovers Sam and both are blown up by a bomb planted in his house. Sam saves Addison's life and then disappears, leaving him and everyone else wondering if she set the bomb and who she is working for.
Somewhat annoyed at obviously being set-up to take the fall for the bomb, or alternately being the target for the bomb, Sam sets out to discover what is going on. The only way to do that is to 'drop' in on Addison yet again.
Rick is fascinated by the attractive bad girl, who appears nevertheless to have ethics and morals. They agree to work together to try and discover what is going on and Rick becomes determined to make a very wary Samantha his.
Sam has had a very disfunctional childhood and is wary of commitment and trusting anyone. It is therefore very annoying to discover that not only is she attracted to Addison, but also trusts him and likes having him around.
This is a very enjoyable book and enjoyable series. It has the side characters of Tom, Rick's best friend and lawyer, Walter, Sam's substitute father and fence and later to appear in the second book, mentioned in this first is Patricia, Rick's ex-wife, all of which add amusement and depth.

Ms. Enoch Has Penned A Winner!!
27 Mar 2005

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I admit to reading anything this author writes...she is that good. I was so suprised when I found out that one of my favorite historical romance authors had switched gears and genres! My first thought was..."a contemporary romantic supsense read? No way!" WAY! Ms. Enoch has mangaged to switch gears without missing a step. The end result is a rather funny but entertaining read that you won't want to miss out on.
Sam Jellico is a thief. She has her standards but she's a thief none the less. She has just broken into Rick Addison's home. She is there for one item, and one item only. What she ends up getting is caught and not in the way you think. One minute she's almost home free...the next she is saving rich Rick from being blow sky high. Problem with this is she is now considered a suspect in the death of a security guard. She has only one witness to the fact that she didn't kill anyone...if anything she saved a life, and that witness is...yup, you guessed it Rick. Wull she be able to convince this handsome Brit that they can and should work together to figure out just who on earth wants Rick dead?
Rick should have been in Germany...instead he's home and right in the thick of things when BAM! His life is turned upside down. He knows that his lady thief is not responsible but the police think otherwise. Than the minx breaks in AGAIN and offers to make a deal with him. Should he get himself tied up with the beautiful thief or should he take his chances with a killer?
This was a very fast read! Samanatha and Rick are great characters. Both are strong willed and used to being in charge. It was fun to read about them falling in love while hunting for a sick would be murder. Ms. Enoch has taken on the genre of romantic suspense and has done so with style. I highly recommend this read and this author.

Marvelous Genre Jump!

I do love Enoch's historicals so I was slightly hesitant to read her first contemporary. Thank goodness I did! Flirting with Danger is a fast, fun romp and I have tosay I think that her contemporary voice is even better than her historical one.
I won't give a plot synopsis. You can get that from the book description.
Sam is a wonderful heroine. I loved how unashamed she was of her past. She's unique and interesting and wholly likeable in her twisted nature. How rare is that?
And Rick? Oh my. Rich - check. Hot beyond hot - check. Totally adores Sam - check. Strong, muscular, handsome - check. Yeah, nice one.
Fun and interesting mystery. Excellent secondary characters. Steamy hot chemistry. Great dialog. I quite enjoyed Flirting With Danger and I'll definitely be looking forward to the others in the series!

Pleasantly surprised.

I must admit I was extremely hesitant to purchase this book. I've never been a fan of contemporary romance, preferring instead to escape into historicals, and finding that contemporaries can be on occassion more vulgar than I am willing to read. However I had read every other book written by Suzanne Enoch, and was confidant that if anyone could satisfactorily introduce me to contemporaries it would be her.
I am pleased to say that I wasn't disappointed.
Both leads were likeable, the dialogue was witty and fun, and the plot was fast-paced and kept my attention. Also I'll admit I have a weakness for attractive British billionaires (really, who doesn't?).
If you are only hesitating from purchasing this book because it's a contemporary, hesitate no longer. Snatch it up now and enjoy a quick, satisfying read by an extremely talented author.
