Heist rule number two? Never fall for a lone wolf.
A blast from Tuck’s circus past draws Tuck and the charming lone-wolf hacker, Leo, into a dizzying web of passion, secrets, and betrayal.
When the circus comes calling, Tuck is helpless to the lure, and this time, his old troupe’s in trouble. Their attempt to leave Reynauld Industries ended with a hit on them, courtesy of the deadly mercenary group, the Stockyard. Tuck can’t sit idly by, and as the resident stealth operator for the Outlaws, he’s in a unique position to help.
Leo’s a lone wolf hacker, and no amount of his best friend’s pleading, Tuck’s flirty smiles, or interesting jobs will sway him into working with the Outlaws. At least, until they land this one. After growing up in the hellish Stockyard, he’s wanted to take them down for years, and this is the Holy Grail of opportunities. Only problem? The Outlaws can never know about his history with them.
When Leo and Tuck start working together, a chemistry emerges that neither of them can deny. Leo’s mantra of “one and done” falters the moment Tuck shows him a care and steadfastness he’s never experienced before, and the more time they spend with each other, the more he doesn’t want to give up the first man he’s started to fall for. However, if the Outlaws discover his past or the Stockyard finds him first, Leo will end up one of the bloated corpses they’ve left lining the Chicago River.

Edge-of-my-seat thriller and hot romance!
Wow, I almost don’t know what to say about this story; I was hooked from the get-go. Twilight Heist is the second book in the Outlaws series but I think you should read book one, Midnight Heist, first for best enjoyment. It explains everything about the Outlaws group and provides details about each member.
If you don’t want to read book one first, then one detail I think you need is about Scar/Scarlet (a secondary character). Scarlet/Scar is genderfluid so the author sometimes uses male pronouns and sometimes female pronouns for Scar/Scarlet. It can be a little confusing (and may make you think there are typos) if you don’t have that information, which was provided in Midnight Heist.
Whew! Now for my review of Twilight Heist. This book is crazy good. The sexual tension between Tuck and Leo is off the charts and when they finally get together? Watch out! Leo is keeping a big secret from the Outlaws and it’s one that could end up endangering all of their lives.
Tuck left the Twilight Circus years ago but now they need his help to get out from under an unscrupulous company’s control. This kind of job is pretty much right up their alley so the Outlaws are willing to help him assist his former family.
There are many twists and turns in this story and they kept me glued to my e-reader from start to finish. I had no doubt — well most of the time — that the author would bring this trilling romantic suspense story to a good conclusion, with an HEA for Tuck and Leo, but boy did she make me nervous more than once. I also didn’t guess who the villain was until she wanted me to know.
As with book one, I can’t say enough good things about this story. I don’t know if there are any more books planned in this series — book one gave us a pretty good hint about Tuck and Leo but I didn’t get any feel for the next story while reading Twilight Heist — but if there are more coming, I’m ready and happy to read them.
