The Thief's Countess (Border Series Book 1) Kindle Edition
A thief turned reluctant protector. A countess who resents but can't resist him.
Sir Geoffrey has dedicated his life to exacting revenge on the men who killed his parents and stole his birthright. The son of a baron, he has been reduced to stealing the resources he needs to reclaim his family legacy. Just when he’s on the verge of success, his uncle asks him to help protect a wealthy countess. It’s a distraction Geoffrey resents, even more so when he meets Lady Sara. The gorgeous, complicated and alluring lady is everything he’d want in a woman—and everything he can’t have.With her betrothed coming to claim her hand in marriage and a distant cousin intent on usurping her earldom, Lady Sara Caiser feels beset by controlling men. As if that weren’t enough, her father’s deathbed request was for two lawless border reivers to serve as her protectors. Despite her misgivings, an undeniable attraction pulls her into Sir Geoffrey’s arms. The man she thought nothing more than a thief is more dangerous than she believed, for he’s noble, caring and sinfully attractive. As the threats against her continue to mount, Sara must decide what’s more important—her duty or her heart.
If you enjoy family sagas, enemies to lovers romance and bad-boy medieval heroes, transport yourself to the 13th century border of England and Scotland with The Thief's Countess.

Review
Cecelia Mecca is a kick arse author. I love this series. When a new book comes out it is like revisiting old friends that you haven't seen for a while.
For those out there who have not yet read a Mecca book, you cannot go wrong.
Cecelia Mecca has again written an amazing story that will pull you in with her wonderful prose and vivid descriptions.
The scenes are painted vividly, making you feel you're there. It's an emotional, romantic book that captured and held me from start to finish.
This story is emotional and devours you as you read it, tearing yourself from the book is not an option.
In my opinion, in a relatively short time, she has become an exceptional author on the scale of Kathryn Le Veque.

Sara the daughter of Lord Kenshire was betrothed to Lord Lyonsford. When her father dies she waits for the Lord to come and be married . The threat of Randolph the only other living relative who wanted to marry her and take over the castle before Lord Lyonsford could arrive. The question is who does she marry.
Geoffrey Waryn arrives at the Lady Sara Caiser’s holding to protect her until her betrothed arrives home from the crusades. Geoffrey knows he’s in trouble from the first moment he sees Sara, for she is a countess, and he is a thief without a home. Nothing stands in the way of true love, of course, there are plenty of longing looks and enough furtive kisses to set the tapestries on fire!

A 🐦bird in the hand......
Liked the book📑! The historical research the author did was phenomenal! The story is well crafted, and although there is the requisite angst between Sara💃💋 and Geoffrey🐺🍆🌋🔪, there is a happy ending!
Overall, 3 stars for the solid writing and development of the story. I just had a hard time connecting to it.
The threat to Lady Sara is vague and anticlimatic, but the chemistry between Geoffrey and Sara is sizzling! Their true love is blocked by the duty of Sara to marry a noble with wealth and power to honor her father's dying request!
A fun, easy reading and sexy book 1 in the Boder Series by Cecilia Mecca. This book is a worthy tale of medievil times!

The by play between Geoffrey and Sara was wonderful.
It definitely played on my emotions and I'm not afraid to say that I cried at some part.
I had read the prequel 'The Wards Bride' and enjoyed it and it was interesting to find out what happened to Hugh.
I was given an ARC of this book but I enjoyed it so much I purchased a copy to keep for myself.
All opinions are honest and my own.
