Description
Enjoy this steamy small-town romantic suspense series by USA Today bestselling author PJ Fiala.
He's ex-military turned small-town security.
She's ex-Army with bills to pay and a keen ability to solve problems.
When crime picks up in his hometown, he reaches out for the best and gets stuck with out-of-town help that changes everything.
Retired and embittered military officer, Levi Jacobson is content running his small-town security business without anyone's help. After all, he can't trust anyone - especially women. But when the town suffers a slew of robberies and Levi can't figure out who's behind it before it gets worse, he hires help from out of town. A decision he might regret.
The last thing Sage Reynolds wants is to move to a tiny town to solve a series of burglaries. But with her bills piling up, she takes what she can get. Meeting her sexy, yet chauvinistic, new boss, Sage isn't sure if she's infuriated or intrigued. She's too busy being ignited by his attempts to be patronizing to focus on the way he makes her feel.
While Sage is determined to explore the way Levi makes her feel, Levi is determined to keep her at arm's length. But as the mysteries unfold, so does their resolve. Can they uncover the thieves before their hearts get stolen too?
Heart Thief is the first novel in the Bluegrass Security Romance Series, although all books in the Bluegrass world can be read as standalones. A steamy romantic story with a guaranteed happily ever after, it does have some strong language and exciting sexy times. Enjoy Levi and Sage!

5By Loreli JThis awesome book will grab you from the start and not let you go. I loved how Sage was able to get under Levi’s skin without even trying. The surprises, suspense, drama, twists, and so much more will not let you go, you’ll keep turning those pages through to the end.Small town romance
4By YodasowiseDelightful read that quickly drew me into the characters and town. For the most part you can cheer on and empathize with the characters. Hence the four stars. What detracted a little from the story was Sage being a little bit of a hypocrite with Levi and the ending all of a sudden just happened. Granted, this isn’t a long book and there were moments in the book where it would have been nice to have it fleshed out more. Otherwise, I did really enjoy getting to know each character that they had a common bond. I would recommend this book (short, sweet and a little steamy) and look forward to continuing the seriesEnjoyable Small Town Romance!!
4By probzlostThis is a fun small town story with characters that grow on you and a sweet mystery. Levi is a bit of a grump, especially towards Sage, but she gives as good as she gets!! They have fantastic chemistry together and I loved their scenes together from their bickering to their other interactions! Sage’s dislike of sexism is totally relatable, especially in a field that doesn’t have too many women. I liked how she defended and stuck up to herself. I thought the mystery element was honestly a bit sweet when it was all said and done. There is a mystery, but no suspense/thriller elements. All in all, it’s a fairly fast read with steamy elements and a fun festival to boot.A happy ending, but a dissatisfying read
2By Lovestoread32The premise of the story wasn’t too bad, although similar to many others of this genre. I’m usually a sucker for stories with happy endings, but this one was tough to get through. While many stories are not realistic, this one was too rushed and needed more plot, character, and relationship development. Sage went from being tough and trying to prove herself, to falling in love with Levi, being jealous, and weeping over him in a matter of days. Levi didn’t want to work with a woman and was hung up on his ex from years before, and then the next day he was acting on his attraction for her and sharing his feelings. They had hardly spoken before they decided they were in love. At the end, I felt disappointed that I had spent time reading it.Definitely Opposites Here - Or Are They?!?
5By KSON77Levi needs help with his security business. He received a Dear John letter while deployed years ago, and still can’t trust a woman over a decade later. Sage spent all her savings on her dad’s hospital bills. She doesn’t like small towns, but she needs a “restart”. It’s only a short-term contract, so she should survive. When Levi hires Sage, he doesn’t know she is a woman. A flare up from the first introduction. A quaint town, a rash of break-ins, puzzles to solve, and sparks begin to fly. I enjoyed the development of mutual respect for each other, is any relationship destined for failure?
