New Release: A Dark and Stormy Knight by Kerrigan Byrne + Review!

A Dark and Stormy Knight by Kerrigan Byrne is now available!

This Knight of the Crown is driven by a painful past and a patient fury… and his entire life is a lie.


Sir Carlton Morley is famously possessed of extraordinary will, singular focus, and a merciless sense of justice. As a man, he secured his fortune and his preeminence as Scotland Yard's ruthless Chief Inspector. As a decorated soldier, he was legend for his unflinching trigger finger, his precision in battle, and his imperturbable strength. But as a boy, he was someone else. A twin, a thief, and a murderer, until tragedy reshaped him.

Now he stalks the night, in search of redemption and retribution, vowing to never give into temptation, as it's just another form of weakness.

Until temptation lands—quite literally—in his lap, taking the form of Prudence Goode.

Prim and proper Pru is expected to live a life of drudgery, but before she succumbs to her fate, she craves just one night of desire. On the night she searches for it, she stumbles upon a man made of shadows, muscle and wrath… And decides he is the one.

When their firestorm of passion burns out of control, Morley discovers, too late, that he was right. The tempting woman has become his weakness.

A weakness his enemies can use against him.

****

 This was a really good book! A Dark and Stormy Knight is the seventh book in the Victorian Rebels series and is Sir Carlton Morley's book. Morley has been a character in the other books in the series and is a chief police inspector who also does vigilante justice in his spare time. He has a tragic past and is a lonely man, but his world changes one night when he meets Prudence Goode. Prudence is engaged to a philandering man and sees an unhappy, loveless marriage in her future. She seeks out one night of passion before she marries and, in an error of communication, spends the night with Carlton. They don't think they will ever meet again, but fate has other plans when Pru's fiance is murdered on her wedding day, with her as the prime suspect. I don't want to give too much of the story away so I can't say much more about the plot.  But Pru and Carlton have quite a bit to work through before they eventually get their HEA.

A Dark and Stormy Knight is a darkish historical romance with some of my favorite tropes- marriage of convenience and surprise pregnancy, with a dash of murder mystery. The story was very good. I liked Prudence and Morley. They were good together. It did take Morley a bit long to open up to Pru, but he did come around. Prudence was very sweet and brave, despite her difficult circumstances. She was just the breath of fresh air Carlton needed in his life. I enjoyed the couple's relationship progression and was happy that they both got the HEA they deserved. There were some really sweet and sexy moments with a dash of suspense too. 

Overall, this was an entertaining, very enjoyable book. I am a big fan of this series and can't wait to see what Ms. Byrne comes up with next!
