Stealing You by @author_molliegoins
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️¼ (4.25/5)
Beckham (aka Beck) has love firmly benched after his mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis—until a lightning-strike connection with Jensen, a tattoo artist who crashes into both his life and his spare room, proves that pretending feelings are temporary doesn’t make them any less real.
I am obsessed with badass tattoo artist Jensen as the one with the intense crush. I love a tough girl with a soft center (one of my favorite heroine archetypes), and Jensen never feels stereotypical or one-dimensional.
And honestly, can you blame her? Historically, I haven’t been into redheads, but Beck (and yes, that name) had me rethinking everything. An athlete’s body, a slutty thigh tattoo, slutty little glasses, and trauma that wants to be healed by the love of a good woman? Catnip. Absolute catnip. Add in the fact that he’s close with his parents and deeply respects their relationship, and I was a complete goner.
What really worked for me was the flirty, banter-heavy dynamic between Jensen and Beck. The humor and ease balance out the heavier emotional themes beautifully, and it genuinely shows how they become not just roommates but real friends. And we all know the best romances start with friendship.
This is my first Mollie Goins book, but it definitely won’t be my last. I’m absolutely going back to the earlier books in the series to see how Jensen and Beck’s closest friends found their happily ever after.
