The Devil in her Bed by Kerrigan Byrne is now available!
He lives in secret service to the Crown—a man of duty, deception, and an undeniable attraction to a woman who threatens to tear his whole world apart.
They call him the Devil of Dorset. He stands alone, a man of undeniable power. Moving in and out of shadows, back alleys and ballrooms, he is unstoppable and one of the Crown’s most dangerous weapons. However, when he sets his sights on the undeniably beautiful Countess of Mont Claire, Francesca Cavendish, he doesn’t realize that he has met a match like no other.
TRUE LOVE WEARS NO DISGUISE
Francesca is a countess by day and stalks her prey—those responsible for the death of her family—by night. What she does not expect is to be thrown into the path of the devil himself, the Earl of Devlin. She has secrets of her own and he seems determined to lay them bare. Can her heart survive finding the love of her life and losing him when all is revealed?
Review:
3.5 stars
***+
I enjoyed this book. The Devil in Her Bed is the third book in the Devil You Know series and is Declan and Francesca's story. Francesca is the final redhead in her group of friends, the Red Rogues, to find love. She has a tragic childhood, in which her family was murdered, and she has lived her life trying to find those responsible and get her revenge. She has spied and secretly investigated the upper class in London and she feels close to finding the culprit. Declan is a mysterious figure from her past and that is about all I can say without giving the stories' secrets away.
This book started out really strong. I enjoyed it, especially the first half. There is a lie of identity though, that goes on until nearly the end of the book that I wished had been exposed earlier. It was hard to trust the feelings developing between the couple when one party did not know the true identity of the other. It is really hard to explain without getting into spoiler territory. I just really wanted the couple to be completely honest with each other and to see them fall in love as themselves. I felt like the conflict ended so close to the end that it unsatisfied me. Otherwise, I liked Francesca and Declan in general, despite their miscommunication. The story was good, intriguing, fast paced and had lots of action.
Overall, while not my favorite book by Ms. Byrne, this book was still entertaining and enjoyable. I was happy that Francesca and Declan get their HEA together. I have enjoyed this series and am sad to see the end of the Red Rogues' stories. I look forward to more from Ms. Byrne in the future!
