Synopsis:

To catch a thief…or fall for one?

All Nick Norton wants is to stay on the straight and narrow…and never get caught stealing again. Then he lays eyes on her: Stella Peretti—100 percent sexy and absolutely irresistible. Especially when he sees her smooth moves lifting a two-karat diamond. Nick realizes he’s found the sparkling woman of his dreams—one so perfect for him it’s almost criminal.

The Shimmy Shimmy Bangs are master jewel thieves who are planning the heist of the century. And Shimmy leader, Stella, isn’t about to let anyone—even if he is a hunky, tatted-up studmuffin—get in her way. But when two of her girls are put out of commission, Stella realizes that Nick isn’t just a red-hot distraction. He might be the answer to her pilfering prayers.

Now, Nick and Stella are putting everything on the line for one last job. But when two thieves have this much chemistry, it’s only a matter of time before somebody’s heart gets stolen.

Review: Jo 

"I'm fucking falling for you. I need to fall for you. I need this. I need you." 

What a fantastic read this book was. A story that was sexy, swoony and full of fun. I loved every single second of "Shimmy, Bang, Sparkle." 

"This man was, minute by minute, inching his way into my heart.

 And making me feel more beautiful, special, 

and safe than I ever had before." 

I adored the characters from this novel. Stella, the heroine of the story gave me so much enjoyment. I loved getting to know this gutsy, super cool girl with a huge heart. To be honest, I think I had a bit of a girl crush on her. Nick was a hero to swoon over. He was a tattooed bad boy who was insanely hot and had a heart of gold, especially when it came to Stella. He would do anything for her and the pair quickly fell crazy in love. They truly were made for one another. Think of a modern version of Bonnie and Clyde and that was the kinda couple they were. I loved everything about them. 

"He was my dream that would never end. 

He had stolen my heart, and I never wanted it back."

The story that unfolded saw Stella and Nik going on an adventure that could end two totally different ways and I hoped and prayed that all would go in their favour, even if it was highly illegal. I couldn't help but root for the pair and wanted so much for them to drive off into the sunset together for a happy ever after. I was gripped throughout every single chapter, in some parts I felt that my heart stopped at what played out before me. This couple's story had my stomach in knots, but thankfully by the time I turned the final page, I had the biggest smile on my face. This book truly was well worth the read. I am certain that every time I think of Stella and Nick, I will get big heart emoji eyes and a big smile on my face. 

"She was every diamond. She was every star. She was my eternal sure thing." 

"Shimmy, Bang, Sparkle" gets 4.5 ❤️'s from me.
