Stealing Heaven by Elizabeth Scott

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
If You Like: Teen romance, forbidden love
Similar to: Sarah Dessen novels, Heartbreakers (movie), Nicholas Sparks novels
Ages: 15-40

I loved this book. It has the feel of a Sarah Dessen novel, with an Elizabeth Scott flair. I originally was drawn to Elizabeth Scott after reading Bloom, but the next two novels she wrote left me disappointed. After reading Stealing Heaven, Elizabeth Scott has won me back.

Stealing Heaven is about a mom and daughter con-artist duo who's latest con is in a town called Heaven. The daughter, Dani, is really good at what her and her Mom do, but Heaven makes her feel more at home than anywhere else she's been. In Heaven, Dani makes friends easily, and even has a love interest. The only problem is, he's a cop and she's a criminal. What is Dani to do when her Mom wants her to steal from the only place she has felt like she belongs?

If you like a good teen read, I definately suggest you read Stealing Heaven. You get a little bit of Sarah Dessen, a little bit of Nicholas Sparks, and a beach setting. What could be better?
