About this listen
An impossible pairing. An unstoppable team.
Conman and expert thief Nick Fox is responsible for some of the most daring heists of recent years. Now he's responsible for driving FBI Special Agent, Kate O'Hare crazy as they work together to take down some of the world's most untouchable felons.
Nick and Kate's first assignment: to track down one of the most notorious embezzlers in the world - along with the $500 million he stole on his way out of the country. It's going to include hardships like travelling to an island paradise, living on a yacht, and dinner theatre. And if Nick is turning out to look a lot like the man of Kate's dreams... well, that can only be expected when you're having fun parachuting into forbidden territory, setting off explosives and playing the part of a honey trap...©2013 The Gus Group LLC

Critic reviews
'Non-stop laughs with plenty of high jinks'
'A laugh-out-loud page-turner'
'Pithy, witty and fast-paced'
I thought I would give it a second go and I am really glad I did - it was well put together, and very amusing in places. The relationship between the FBI agent and the fraudster had a lot of tricky moments, and it had a decent plot and a good level of intrigue; I reckon this is likely to be the start of a new series, and I look forward to trying another.
Anyway - go for it, it is a jolly good fun read.
Took a little getting into!

I do dislike Scott Brick as a narrator though. He just speaks so slowly and in a dreary monotone. I normally listen at 1x or 1.05x but with this I listened at 1.35x and the book sounded normal. I think the faster playback might have even made the emotionless Brick convey a bit of character.
Just fun.

Review:It took me a bit of time to get into the story. The first few chapters were a week-long struggle. But once past Mount Athos it got quicker. More interesting... As I was reading the book I had this image of Kate Beckett of the Castle TV show as our indomitable FBI Agent Kate O'Hare in my head. The images and scenes just seemed to click and fit together themselves. Or maybe I am just reading/watching too many crime fictions. Which is a really sad state of affairs from a self-professed urban fantasy geek, so why am I reading another crime fiction? I think I can attribute that, this time around, as a testament to the authors' story telling quality to lure me into a genre other than my own. Another evidence that this author dou is as good as Nick Fox at sweet-talking people, is the fact that although the story itself is a bit formulaic which had been played a few times too many around the block, but they still managed to pull it off and sell it as well! You have to give the authors kudos for pulling that kind of stunt! However the story ended with a few loose ends untied. I presume that these will be answered in the next book, which is a bit annoying but at the same time I am also looking forward to reading the next book, not only to get more Nick and Kate action but to see how these loose ends played out.

If you could sum up The Heist in three words, what would they be?
beautiful sexual tensionWho was your favorite character and why?
Nick and Kate, due to the way that they interact with each other, the tension between them is unrealWhat about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?
the way that he captured the feeling of all the charactersWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
the moment between the two leads at the end of the book, had me in stitchesAny additional comments?
a great read, well worth your time, the story is fun athe characters are great and the chemistry between the leads is brilliantLove at first Heist
