What I thought about The Family Jewels
Sadie learned early in her life how to run a confidence game, and now she uses those skills to make ends meet. When she's got to pay for her sister's medical treatments, she resorts to what she knows best for her last job.
Jake is one very smooth and hot man and Sadie is attracted to him from the start, but he catches on to her con game quickly. Instead of tearing them apart, their common enemy brings them together, and things get very riveting and intense.
Christine Bell creates two interesting and entertaining characters in Jake and Sadie. They really carried the story for me, as I had to know what was going to happen between them once the truth came out. There were some slow spots and some predictability, but overall, The Family Jewels is a sexy story about two people looking for revenge and finding love along the way.
