Noah (Thief of Hearts Series Book 3)

His life had always been dangerous, even before he started making a living with weapons in his hands, but this woman was something different.

Speaking of Peter Pan It makes it so much more relatable and real. I wished she would've come around sooner BUT I'm impressed with how she handled herself.

I loved that we got a chapter of her POV because I really missed her. I hated what happened in the end though but again, I'm glad things worked out for the most part. The sex scenes are steamy but they are not detailed. This story is more about the feelings and the emotions I was really sad about it I really thought she was coming around.

Wow, so didn't see that one coming but I love TF's ingenuity in figuring something out that worked. I was a bit shocked to not like Noah anymore especially since he was such a great guy. I understand his reasons though and you just knew it would have to be something intense. And I loved how Caleb knew them sooo well. I love and hate that it feels sooo good! Everyone thinks Caleb is the Thief but I really feel like time was the thief It still kills me.

Definitely looking forward to what else Tarryn Fisher comes up with.

Whatever it is, I know it will be something new and refreshing and it will definitely mess with your mind! I think I almost highlighted the whole book so bear with me or feel free to skip them because I'm sure there will be a lot But, I can do it. You fell in love with a really complicated woman. You can weigh how hard things can and will be for the two of you, but what you really need to consider is if you can live without her. No matter what I say — you never blush. I kiss the tip of her nose. I grab her wrist and pull her into a hug, kissing the top of her head.

No one is keeping us apart again. Do you understand me? I knew it was a lie, even as I said it. You just had to learn to live beside it. It had to peacefully co-exist with your present. If I could figure out how to do that, I could be okay. I took the penny inside and pulled my copy of Great Expectations off the bookshelf. I taped the penny to the title page and slid the book back in. Right where it belonged. She is the only woman I see. Don't say I didn't warn you! Dec 22, Debra rated it it was amazing Shelves: We finally find out what went through his head during all of the important events of the two previous books and we find out how he reacts after the bomb Leah dropped on him at the end of Dirty Red.

At the beginning of the story, I had so many unanswered questions but by the end of the book, all my questions were answered. The second was to a lie so dense we couldn't work our way through it. And the third time - this time - I've lost her to Noah. When you think about it, it's actualy crazy that two people who were so in love and so perfect for each other, still managed to destroy everything they have. Most of it, all because of lies. But, deep down, they've always known their connection is too strong to ignore. She always has been, always will be. But things in life aren't always that simple, and the emotional and heartbreaking parts in this story are the exact proof of that fact.

I've tried to break myself from her over and over, but it's pointless. There were times during The Opportunist and Dirty where I doubted his sincerity and his choice of action. At times, I was even infuriated with the way he acted, but now, because of his determination to win Olivia back, even though the chances are he might not succeed, I've really started to love him again.

But Olivia loves you with her lies. She lies about how she's feeling, how she's hurting, how she wants you when she tells you she doesn't. She seems cold and composed on the outside, but throughout the story, Caleb manages to break through her icy exterior and he manages to make her realize she still has feelings for him even though she's married to Noah.

The only question is whether she'll continue to aknowledge those feelings or whether she'll continue to lie about them, even to herself. Their story is filled with anguish and heartbreak and there were sooo many times that I felt like pulling my hair out. They are not conventional or very easy to relate to- characters.

They lie, cheat and deceive to get what they want. But in the end, and because of the way Tarryn Fisher told their story, they managed to capture my heart and all I wanted was for them to finally find peace and happiness view spoiler [preferably with each other! You're fucking heavy with all of your guilt and self loathing. I've never read anything like it and I don't think I'll ever come across anything like it ever again.

It was an amazing, unforgettable, brilliant series that will forever remain on my all time favorites shelf. The many parts I highlighted throughout the story indicate what an exceptionally talented writer Tarryn Fisher is and I can't wait to read more of her work in the future! I will for sure read whatever it is she writes next. View all 84 comments. This better be about him stealing Olivia from Noah.

So,here are a couple of theories I have about the last book: I think it could be that pressed penny or the key to the house he bought for her. What is Leah going to do next? Well,this theory is pretty crazy,but I think Olivia will get that rapist out of the prison and Leah will hire him to do something to O. It's just a thought that popped up this morning.

She did mention once she would hire someone to deal with Olivia. Why bring Sam into the picture? He is there so he can be with Leah and to get her straight. This bitch is insane and she needs someone to get her on the right path. They have a great chemistry. Will Caleb and Olivia have their happily ever after? This is a hard one. I hope they do because Caleb's favorite book is Great Expectations and you know what happened to Pip and Estella in it,don't you?

After all the shit they still get to be together. I want a hug so I can cry my eyes out. This book killed me. I'm not sure what to say. I have so much to say but I'll spoil everything that way. I love Caleb so much. That bitch can rot in hell for all I care. I want to write a review for this book but I'm still in shock with how everything played out. All those twists and turns View all 86 comments.

Dec 27, Jennifer Kyle rated it it was amazing Shelves: When Tarryn hit the publish button I actually froze. Weirdly, my fear had me terrified to start if you can you believe it? I was so damn invested in Olivia and Caleb and what awaited me in these pages that the conclusion both excited and terrified me…I kid you not! My heart pounded the entire read as the stomach churned till the very last page. The story sways from past and present shining a light on past events while the present gives slivers of hope and then snatches it away then gives hope back again.

Maybe it was for the best. The whole time we were destroying ourselves, someone else was having a go at it too. All the while neither one is ever really ready to fully break their connection. Quite possibly their connection is unbreakable through all the lies, deceit, heartache and unsaid words. A reader pulls for happiness for both characters while afraid to dream of a hea. Thief is an intense, heart pounding, unforgettable conclusion to a timeless series of imperfect love. This couple will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Neither you, nor I, nor anyone else in this life could possibly know the chain reaction our decisions cause. If you're to blame, then so am I. View all 38 comments. Dec 23, Taryn rated it it was amazing Shelves: Reviews for this particular author are always the hardest to write some reason.

Each and every time, too. I love it yet I hate it.

Thief does not disappoint! Tarryn has a deep fond for her readers, more so tha Reviews for this particular author are always the hardest to write some reason. Tarryn has a deep fond for her readers, more so than I think people realize. She knows what they want and gives it to us good- but in the only manner she knows how.

I prepared myself before reading Thief. Tarryn Fisher is not a predicable writer. We never really know what to expect of her. Just when I thought I finally knew the outcome of the book and could relax for a moment, I was knocked off my axis and my mouth dropped! At times I thought I was going to be sick to my stomach!

Then there were times I thought my chest would pop because of the true, heartfelt love Caleb has for Olivia. Just give me more! What the hell, Tarryn? Why you gotta do me dirty, you sick and twisted freak! Maybe a little twisted But oh, is it good. I can honestly say I was hooked from the beginning, which is saying something. But I warn you, be prepared. The story is written with past and present chapters. I love male point of views. He is for sure going on my Jerk self! I felt everything he felt. The heartbreak, the struggle, the rage, and emotion. The deep seeded hatred for Leah.

The profound love he has for Olivia. The devotion and will he has for fighting for Olivia. No one is meant more for each other than Caleb and Olivia. BUT, Olivia is so damn hardheaded and stubborn! I wanted to shake her and punch her in the throat multiple times! Noah is a prick, by the way.

What that man goes through nearly killed me! Caleb is there, walking over burning coal and willing to do anything for Olivia and he's also dealing with Leah who lives to play dirty. How much can one person take?? Tarryn said Caleb fights for her. That's the price you pay for love, baby girl. I need a break. Not Noah or Cammie and least of all, fucking Leah. Then I walk out. Hold up a minute. The fact that the author offered me this book even after I rated Dirty Red low speaks numbers in my eyes.

A true author who can take criticism and let it roll off her shoulders. Thief is packed full of insanely intense emotion. Tarryn slips inside the mind and works a web of lies and love. Tarryn Fisher competes with setting the bar in the indie world. She introduced me to indie and will forever hold a special place with me. Thief kept me entertained until the end and I still wanted more. I hate finishing series. I've tried to break myself of her over and over, but it's pointless.

I have been continually amazed by this author's ability to retell the same story over and over, albeit from a different vantage point, and keep it feeling fresh and new.

Just like in the previous books, 'Thief' is divided into past and present timeframes, with the present portions revealing new events as they transpire. After reading 'Dirty Red', I was especially interested to see how Caleb could've loved a woman In this third book in the series, we finally get to hear Caleb's side of the story.

After reading 'Dirty Red', I was especially interested to see how Caleb could've loved a woman like Leah. The truth was surprising. I had to reevaluate my feelings for Caleb as new information was brought to light. Leah's underhanded, manipulative ways continued to blow my mind, as even more of her tactics were exposed in this book. I was glad to have confirmation that Caleb actually loved Olivia as much as she loved him.

The earlier books left me feeling uncertain of the depth of his feelings. Part of me was afraid to read this, worried I'd find out that he had just played both women for years. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. Although I continued to be frustrated with the ease with which Caleb seemed to walk away from Olivia, I now understand where he was coming from. Ultimately, he came to regret his repeated failure to fight for her.

Overall, I was happy with how this story ended. Caleb and Olivia finally got some happiness, after years of disaster and tragedy. Nothing had ever come easily for these two, so it's fitting that they didn't have a unicorns and rainbows type of conclusion. I loved every minute of this series!

View all 37 comments. Thief is the final book of the Love Me With Lies series, an achingly poignant series that touched me so deeply. These characters have embedded their way into my heart. Caleb and Olivia are in me so deep that I there is no way I will ever forget them. Thief was everything I was hoping for, but nothing what I expected. I had all these crazy theories floating around in my head, few of which actually came true thank God. Leave it to Tarryn Fisher to make to take all of my expectations and throw them out the proverbial window.

This series is a testament to Fisher's writing talent and staying power in the book world. Fisher is able to make her readers truly feel connected to these fictional characters. I know I am not alone when I wonder where they are now. I wonder what they're doing at this very moment. Not many books make me feel so rooted in their fictional lives. It makes me feel a little crazy. Like Dirty Red , Thief started out with a bang. Caleb is sitting in his condo yes, the same condo he had during he and Olivia's relationship watching Olivia win Dobson's murder trial.

He and Leah have been divorced for a period of time at this point. Even watching Olivia on the television he is transfixed and finds everything she does beautiful and enrapturing. His love for her is so deep and so raw even after all these years. But this time Caleb speaks. In fact, his methods reminded me of how dirty Olivia was in The Opportunist when she tried to win Caleb back.

I thought this was interesting and showed just how similar these two actually are. Neither of them are perfect - not even our Caleb.

• Stalins Barber: A Novel!
• A is for Africah;
• The Art Thief.
• Eye for an Eye (DCI Andy Gilchrist Book 1).

The stunt Caleb pulled at dinner toward the beginning of the book had my jaw dropping on the floor in absolute shock. But that the same time, I was fist pumping him and cheering him on. Underneath all their ugly lies is this beautiful burning love and intense connection - a connection that neither of them have had with anyone else, including their spouses.

You could feel the electricity and the sparks between Olivia and Caleb. They didn't even need to be talking to each other. Their silence was enough to ignite the page and make it come alive. I loved every minute of it. I loved all their "isms". I loved that they used the code word "Peter Pan" when one of them wanted to know what the other was thinking. I loved that they held onto their penny after all these years. Olivia uses to word "hook me" Caleb when she wanted one of his special hugs.

I loved that llamas reminded Caleb of Olivia from when they first met under a tree. After the truth came out and the lies were erased, they were finally bared to each other. There are no hearts, rainbows or unicorns. This was real life. Real life is messy.

I appreciate how relatable this story was. Thief is an ode to first love, broken hearts and the hope for second chances. Do you know what this means? I don't either, but I'm all fired up!!! I'd really, really like to know when we can expect this masterpiece!! Until then, read the teasers below! The Penny The door was slightly ajar when I arrived. I was about to knock when it swung open and a man came out carrying a garbage bag. I stepped back too startled to speak. My thoughts spun in a hundred directions. I was going to kill him. Why was he taking out her trash? Did he sleep here often? I waited for him to look up, thinking every man deserved a chance to explain himself before he got the shit beat out of him.

He was mildly startled to see me standing in front of him. He looked past me to see if I was with someone else, and then said. I felt the air leave my lungs. I closed my eyes tilting my head back. I walked away, my hands in my hair and circled back to where maintenance was looking at me curiously. My instant jealousy had caused me to miss the uniform and name badge. Why had I left her? I knew she did this. She ran when she was afraid. I thought— What had I thought? I eyed the badge clipped to the front of his shirt. Miguel raised his eyebrows as he watched me struggle with a sentence.

Have to make it ready for next tenants. Where had she gone? Had she left right away? Had something scared her away? I ran a hand through my hair. It took me thirty minutes to break her heart. It hurt me to do it. She had done nothing to deserve what I was doing to her. Before I left, I kissed her forehead. I went to my condo next. As I stood under the shower I thought of our week together.

I thought of the orange grove; of the way she tasted, the way her skin felt like cold satin beneath my fingers. When my mind went to that first moment of being inside her; of the way her eyes had widened and her lips had parted, I had to blast myself with cold water. She was also the same; stubborn, defiant I wanted every, last beautiful flaw.

I wanted the fight and the friction and the make- up sex. I threw truth out the window. Now, I had inordinate amounts of explaining to do. I looked at Miguel. He suddenly seemed like my last remaining tie to her. I picked it up, weighed it in my hand. Had Jim come back and scared her off? Had he told her? I knelt down and turned the bag over, dumping its contents on the concrete. I was sweating and my hands were damp as I sifted through the trash.

Ripped up papers, broken glass, crushed flower petals…. Olivia would never write me a letter. This was her style; leaving me without notice…throwing me in the fire to burn. I tossed the bag. Half of my heart was breaking, the other half was hell fucking angry. As the bag fluttered to the ground, I heard the slight tinkering of something hitting the floor. My eyes scanned the concrete, desperate for anything that would lead me to her. I found it lying between my feet. Had she left it for me, or had she just left it? I picked it up, held it between my fingers.

The once shiny surface had the slightly green tinge of aging copper. This was her goodbye? I felt anger and more than anger, I felt confusion. What had I done? I walked to the edge of the parking lot and lifted my fist, the penny pressing against my palm. My muscles tensed to throw it. My hand dropped to my side. I put the penny in my pocket and drove home.

Jan 07, Renee rated it it was amazing Shelves: The distance between our bodies grew wider over the years as we tried to live separately but the spore took root and grew Olivia is something that grows inside of me".

Tarryn Fisher's writing is so raw, rare, elegant and rhythmical -it penetrates through to your skin, runs through your veins and pierces your heart. You will find yourself rereading each sentence over and over and over again. I feared blinking incase I'd missing something. I was fighting to absorb it all in, in hope of storing those words for keepsake in my memory bank.

I had to restrain myself from highlighting the entire book and quoting it in my status updates. I think I did right? Every sentence is more powerful than the next. The lyrics are so breathtaking and I have included them throughout my review! This book is about the obsessive kind of love that can destroy you and everything around it.

You know it's bad for you but there's not a damn thing you can do to make go away and what's worse is that you don't ever want it to go away- ever! Their lack of communication, courage and misunderstandings not only destroyed them but anyone else that came into contact with them emotionally. There was always something stopping them from being together whether it was timing, lies, pride, or misunderstandings. It was heartbreaking to witness them make the same mistakes over and over and over again. You survive, but your heart will never be the same again.

She is an extraordinarily gifted author, who not only thinks outside the box but also challenges the reader to do the same. The originality and uniqueness of her work will leave you speechless and awe struck. The effort that she has put into her work is evident through the flawless details and the well thought out puzzles.

To me, this book is like a riddle that required solving- you actually need to exercise your brain to try solving the answers. It's an exhausting yet liberating experience and I have truly enjoyed every second of it. I will remember this book forever! This story slowly skinned the barriers around my heart until it was left bare, vulnerable and bleeding- it was brutal!

I'm an emotional person but I don't cry often. I take pain until it leaves me feeling choked up. This book broke me - it was a first for me. Her tiny frame racks with sobs. All the answers are there but they are blind to the naked eye. If you look at it from the surface you would blame Caleb, but if you really take a moment to dig deeper and allow your mind to think outside of the box you would discover there's so much more that meets the eye.

You will come up with so many theories, excuses and 'what ifs' that you will start to feel like you're going insane. The foundation in The Opportunist had so many cracks in it, that there was no way to restore it, it was at the point of no return. All you could do was make an attempt at putting the pieces to together, make assumptions and hope that one day it can bare the weight of something more. To some extent, Dirty Red filled in those cracks, it was essential to the story as it explains how those cracks surfaced in the first place.

In Thief , although the foundation has been mildly restored, it is not perfect and the building on that foundation is a slow long painful process resulting in a not so perfect result. This book was perfection- period! I felt like Inspector Gadget when I was reading it. I found myself constantly lingering on a page and rereading each sentence. I was dissecting each word, sentence, expression, breaking it down into tiny little pieces and then going back to beginning to see if that theory fits. In the end, the picture to that puzzle was heartbreakly beautiful. The story alternates between past and present filling in the gaps to unanswered questions in The Opportunist.

It will shock you, make you scream, cry and make you feel like someone has punched you in the gut and knocked the air out of you. Angst is not the word to describe this book.. It's torture , pure slow torture and I felt every little inch of it. The detail that was used blew my mind. Tarryn grabs you by your both arms and yanks you into this story. I felt, breathed and lived these characters for a short period but their journey will stay will me forever.
