Description:
Two years ago, Remington Trueblood left England and everything he held dear, all for the chance at a new life. Now the successful owner of The Purple Rose Tea House in Manhattan, Remi has come across the perfect addition to his business: a stunning amethyst cat. But Remi’s acquired something else with his latest purchase: the attention of the notorious Gentleman Thief!

Detective Stanley Hawk doesn’t know the first thing about tea. He’s strictly a java kind of guy. What he does know, is crime, and someone’s just committed one. As a Pinkerton’s, Hawk always gets his man, and when his investigations lead him straight to Remi, never have truer words been spoken.

Can Remi and Hawk resist each other long enough to figure out who the thief is and what the heck is going on? Or will the Gentleman Thief get his hands on more than just the Amethyst Cat? From a quirky antique shop, to a high-society tea house, The Amethyst Cat Caper is a delightful romp through 1930s New York. Whether you prefer tasty tea or steamy java, grab yourself a cuppa and enjoy!

Gennie Gee’s Thoughts:
I loved this book! The Amethyst Cat Caper is a short story filled with mystery, sweet romance and lovable characters. This book is set in the 1930s and begins with the theft of an artifact (an amethyst cat) from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. By chance this priceless artifact ends up in the hands of one of the main characters Remi, who is a born Englishman and has come to NYC to find his way in the world. The thief of the cat is desperate to get it back and that’s when we meet the other main character Detective Stanley Hawk, who goes by Hawk.

Remi and Hawk have a whirlwind romance as both are swept into the path of danger. In many ways this is a love at first site kind of story, which unless it’s PNR I’m never quite sure about, but the timeframe didn’t bother me with this story. I felt all the characters were well developed and believable. I don’t want to give away too much, but I will say there was some drama and all ends well. In fact, the story left me wanting more and hoping that this is the beginning of a series! If you want a nice short read, with well-rounded characters and a happy ending, this one’s for you!
