This book is definitely a historical romantic suspense - with this book. There is a mystery of who killed Ida's father, one that Simon is determined to solve. I liked the characters. The book was engaging and fast paced.

This was a book that I had originally put down and marked as a DNF. (Not good, right?) I decided to give it a second chance and I was glad I did. I loved the book. Avalon is an amazing heroine. She deserved every bit of happiness she got from her relationship with Devan. And Devan was a wonderful hero. I liked how he grew to love Avalon with a true devotion. This was such a fantastic book!

Again, this is another wonderful story in this wonderful series. I loved the second chance at love/enemies to lovers trope. I liked the characters and how they developed. While part of a series, it reads as a standalone. It was a well written book. My only complaint with this book is I wish it was longer.

This was a slow smolder romance. I loved the banter between Miranda and Aden. She intrigues him, but her family situation has her forced into an engagement she doesn't want. I liked the sub-plot of trying to get Miranda out of that horrible arrangement. I did not like her brother. I really hope that Aden's sister finds a better choice for a husband.

Hadrian Ames, the Duke of Clayton, needs a bride. He is planning on accepting the arranged marriage to his cousin that his uncle wants until he meets Natalie Fanshawe. Natalie is an American who promised her best friend as she was dying to take her young son back to her family in England. As an American, Natalie is outspoken and doesn't care for the aristocracy.
There was a chunk of this book that I just skipped. I did not like how Natalie and Leo were treated at Leo's grandfather's home. It was really unnecessary to the plot. I did like the characters of Natalie and Hadrian.

Lady Charlotte Wentworth had her one season where she was the biddable female the ton expected from debutants. She left London in disgrace after being ruined by the new Viscount Amesbury.

I really enjoyed reading this novel. It was a great debut novel for the author. It was fast paced with great characters. I can't wait for the next book.

All Scot and Bothered is the second book in the Devil You Know series. It can be read as a stand alone.
I loved 98% of the book. I liked the pairing of Cecelia and Ramsey. He was the perfect balance for her. Cecelia was a strong heroine, yet in many ways directionless and Ramsey helped keep her in direction.
Without rehashing the plot, there were two points that I felt that didn't flow and were rather awkward. Overall, the book is amazing. The writing is intense and has the feeling of a historical romantic suspense. Again, Kerrigan Byrne hit it out of the ballpark. She is one author that I will one-click on any of her books.
