All Scot and Bothered by Kerrigan Byrne

4.0

Kerrigan Byrne does it again and again and again. She is the queen of dark historical romance and she does it so well.

I have speed through this series and have been so excited for Francesca's book, and I was not disappointed in her story arc, or that of the Devil of Dorset.

Francesca has been the most elusive of the heroines of this series. She's a bit more prickly, and I wasn't exactly sure what her backstory really was to get a good feel on her. While her story was dark, it didn't feel as triggering as Alexandra's (in the first book) or as tenderhearted as Cecilia's (second book). This one was pretty dark though, especially as we learn more of the Crimson council as well as the Devil of Dorset's crazy backstory that is also intertwined with Francessa/Pippa's.

There is plenty of heat between these two, but a lot of heart.

4 stars
