Review: ‘Til Heist Do Us Part by Sara Desai

If you love your romances with a bit of action, ‘Til Heist Do Us Part is for you. It’s for fans of adrenaline, heists, and group crews. After To Have and to Heist I was hooked! Keep reading this book review of ‘Til Heist Do Us Part for my full thoughts.

Summary

It’s been a year since Simi Chopra’s motley crew pulled off a high-wire diamond necklace heist with the help of sexy rogue Jack Danger. After living it up on the reward money, they’re back where they started, struggling to pay their bills. So when a Chicago Mafia boss demands they return the jewels—plus interest, or else—they need to get the team back together…and fast.

Unfortunately, Simi soon discovers that the necklace is in the hands of Jack’s nemesis, a highly-skilled and supremely vengeful master thief who is not above a little blackmail to get even. (Did Jack really have to piss her off?) Now, the crew is forced into her working her con in order to get the necklace back. As if Simi needed any more complications while trying to rob a billionaire’s mansion, she and Jack are on the rocks, someone else is after her score, and a gorgeous detective is hot on her tail. Simi better be careful or she’ll end up in the less fun kind of handcuffs.

Review

(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)

We’re back for another heist. ‘Til Heist Do Us Part is a hilarious, swoony, romance full of chases, fight scenes, and group crew scenes. It makes you laugh as you’re afraid for their lives. Desai strikes this chord between high stakes danger and romance. We know, since it’s a romance, that everyone will probably be okay, but there’s still the question of how. How can they escape, will they remain friends, and will Jack and Simi get back together? I loved reading ‘Til Heist Do Us Part before bed every night.

While the first might be my favorite – I loved watching Jack and Simi – this is such a solid sequel. I want so many more! In ‘Til Heist Do Us Part we explore Simi’s abandonment issues and the ways Jack navigates his commitment issues. Watching them work through their issues felt therapeutic. If you love a romance book about characters who have to figure out how to stay together. This is for you! ‘Til Heist Do Us Part is about not if lightning can strike twice, but if we have what it takes to cultivate these relationships. Not just romantic!

It tackles themes of protection versus ignorance. It’s not enough for us to be ‘protected’ by not knowing the dangers. ‘Til Heist Do Us Part is about truly leaning on each other. On the people we’d stand in the eye of the storm with. Find ‘Til Heist Do Us Part on Goodreads, Storygraph, Amazon, Bookshop.org, Blackwells, & Libro. fm.
