Angel Manning is after Jack to get back the Irish Torque that has been passed down in her family from female to female for generations. The Torque is the source of Angel's fiery dreams and losing it may mean losing the mystery man she has forever dreamed of loving.

Despite Angels' objections, Jack Riley bought the Irish Torque from her father. He knows she's after it and will do anything to get it back...all he has to do is wait.

Cowboy and the Thief by Lora Leigh is the second book in her Cowboy series. It was a fast read for me, and I found Cowboy and the Thief to be humorous. The book is thoroughly enjoyable, and I love that I got to laugh out loud at the characters. The chemistry between Jack and Angel is tangible and both characters match each other in stubbornness. Both are determined to get what they want...Angel wants the Torque; Jack wants Angel. The frustration Angel feels with Jack is understandable. She is determined to get her family heirloom back. Jack is just as determined to give it to her...if she stays. I found Cowboy and the Thief to be an excellent read, and I would recommend it to romance readers everywhere.
