You are cordially invited as two con artists fake-date their way into the poshest wedding in town.
Single, broke, and about to be ejected from her London flat, Cat feels left behind by her friends, who are all either married or engaged. At least if she picked a few pockets when fellow wedding guests get handsy, no one's the wiser. No one, that is, except her favorite bartender, Jake, who has his own less-than-legal side hustle.
When she's unceremoniously fired and roped into bridesmaid duties for best frenemy Louisa, Cat can’t help but notice that Louisa’s priceless diamond engagement ring sure would solve a lot of problems. But Cat isn't as skilled a thief as Jake is, so to pull off the scheme of their lives, they'll have to pair up. From an engagement party on a boat to the bachelorette weekend in Palermo, Cat and Jake play cat and mouse with each other in a romantic charade. But who’s to say what’s real and what’s fake, when love and money are on the line?

Jessica Elisa Boyd narrates Ellis's debut contemporary romance novel with a heist twist. After losing her most consistent source of income, Cat has hit rock bottom. At least she can rely on her pickpocketing skills to make ends meet while searching for a legitimate form of work. When her posh college bestie announces her impending marriage into one of the wealthiest families in the UK, she asks Cat to be a bridesmaid. Looming expenses of being part of this wedding coupled with the rich entitlement portrayed by the rest of the bridal party has Cat developing an unconventional solution. With the help of a fellow grifter, she will steal the bride's priceless antique engagement ring. The acquaintances just need to convince everyone they are a couple. Boyd's lively narration keeps the story moving. With her skills at performing a multitude of accents, she captures the personalities of all the characters, seamlessly switching between each one. Her performance adds another level of depth to the characters. VERDICT While not an essential addition to collections, Boyd's narration entertains.--Amanda L. S. Murphy
