I loved A Heart Worth Stealing! Joanna Barker is a wonderful author. Her characters are great, her stories always keep my interest, and her writing is always engaging.
I really liked the romance between Ginny and Jack! I have to admit, at the beginning of this story I was a bit concerned because I felt like Ginny said some things to Jack that were frustrating. Happily, about mid-way through the book, she started really growing on me and I ended up really liking her. Jack, on the other hand, was more than easy to like. As soon as he stepped on the page I knew he was gonna be a great character! He was charming, witty, and flirtatious. The chemistry between Ginny and Jack was perfect. The mystery aspect was a fun addition to this story and I absolutely loved the ending!
A Heart Worth Stealing is the third book I’ve read by Joanna Barker and I’ve loved them all. She has definitely become an auto-buy author for me. If you’re looking for an excellent regency, this is the one!

BackCover Blurb:
Little Sowerby, England, 1802
Miss Genevieve Wilde―a magistrate’s daughter and independent heiress―is
determined to meet life’s challenges all on her own, just as her late
father had taught her. So when her father’s pocket watch is stolen, she
will do anything to get it back, especially when the local authorities
prove incompetent.
Upon reading an advertisement in the paper,
she takes a chance and contacts a thief-taker to find the watch. It’s a
choice Ginny regrets when former Bow Street officer Jack Travers arrives
on her doorstep. He is frustratingly flirtatious, irritatingly
handsome, and entirely unpredictable, and Ginny wonders if she’ll be
able to resist such a man.
But after Ginny discovers that the
missing watch is just a small part of a larger, more frightening plot
against her, she needs Jack’s help more than ever. To protect her home
and her reputation, the two enter into a risky charade―pretending Jack
is her cousin so he can begin his investigation, starting with the
household staff. As they work together to unravel the mystery, Ginny
finds herself falling fast for her charismatic thief-taker, leaving her
heart in just as much danger as her life.
