Synopsis
A Notorious Gentleman . . .
Sullivan Waring wants only two things: his rightful inheritance, and revenge against the man who stole it from him. By day, Sullivan is the most respected horse breeder in England; by night, he plunders the ton's most opulent homes to reclaim his late mother's beautiful paintings. His quest is going swimmingly . . . until the night he's discovered by Lady Isabel Chalsey. Clad only in a revealing nightdress, she's an entrancingly different kind of plunder, and how can a thief resist stealing a kiss?
A Curious Lady . . .
Surprised by a masked man in her own home, Isabel should be quaking with fear. Instead the sight of the sinfully handsome Sullivan makes her tremble with excitement. Who is this man, and why is he so set on this reckless pursuit? Lady Isabel loves a challenge, and she'll dare anything to uncover Sullivan's secret—but she may instead convince him that she is the greatest prize of all.

Reviews
I'm actually going to say that this book left me with disappointment. Normally I enjoy her books but I found myself annoyed with some parts of the book. The characters are unappealing. The heroine is young, spoiled, and likes to take advantage of other people. She likes to feel empowered when she's holding the secret to Sullivan who burgled her house for 2 paintings. She blackmails him by allowing him to give her horse lessons and tame a wild horse. I was annoyed by the continuous repetition of their relationship of servant to noblewoman, which is taboo and isn't done. I find that to be annoying since I don't find Sullivan to be a servant, he's a famouse horse breeder owner, and he's a ******* son to a marquis, but he isn't acknowledged. In some historical romance, there wouldn't be anything snobby about a noble woman/man dating someone in teh work field. Also, I'm not a fan of people who take advantage so seeing the heroine doing that due to her sense of wanting to know more about him was annoying. And the hero never stood up to her blackmail but went along with it due to his attractions towards her.
