I have a strong love hate relationship with this novel. One hand I love the revenge plot, betrayal, and steamy plot that kept me glued to the pages. On the other, the relationship between Francesca (who is actually Pippa in disguise) and Declan had me pulling my hair. There was hot sexual chemistry sure… but the majority of the novel, the Devil of Dorset thought Francesca was the girl of his childhood who he loved and lost. While Pippa was someone he had previously referred/thought of as his adopted sister and stated that she would always 'bother' him. So when it was revealed who Francesca really was, Declan's reaction to discovering her deceit made him a new member of my shitlist.

It was quite clear to see Pippa was never a real option for him and he seemed more brokenhearted that he lost his childhood crush than their friendship. It was Francesca this, Francesca that. Pippa never once crossed his mind unless a question was brought up about her. I don't know… his words and actions didn't sit well with me and to be completely honest, I was quite disgusted by his behavior. Pippa deserved better and I was more than a little annoyed how he did a complete 180 at the end of the novel and professed he loved the real Pippa. Ugh. Give me a fucking break. Considering everything that has happened thus far, it was entirely unbelievable and it made me stop caring for the characters altogether. I would have much rather had Ferdinand lived through the stampede and made his proclamation come true by making Pippa a real countess. There was real potential there.

Nevertheless, it was still an enjoyable read and would highly recommend to all you historical romance readers out there despite my thoughts on the shit-tastic hero who didn't deserve the love and attention of Pippa.

I love Byrne's writing, their conversations and chemistry are all engaging and entertaining and I enjoyed reading this book.

The plot and reasoning is a bit weaker on any closer examination though. It requires some definite suspension of disbelief, which is fine, (hidden identity and 'keeping a huge secret' stories are often a little bit fantastical). But there's some other aspects that I think could have been explained/justified with a little more thought and attention, but apparently no one questioned them too closely, so they just weren't. Which feels a bit unfortunate.

Beyond that, the heroine seemed pretty capable and worldly, which was fun, until she was placed in a new situation, and then she seemed as naive and entirely unprepared as anyone (which was less fun, and seemed inconsistent). And the hero was likable and capable, until he temporarily became a mean idiot. Which was lame. And he didn't come to his senses right away either, so I couldn't even chalk it up to a poor first reaction or something. So that was disappointing. But for most of the book they were both cool and likable, so it didn't ruin my enjoyment. And overall I still definitely enjoyed the book more than I didn't. So 4 stars. ( )

I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley. All opinions are my own. The Devil in Her Bed by Kerrigan Byrne is the third book in her The Devil You Know Series. I think you should read the books in order to get the most enjoyment out of the series. Francesca Cavendish, Countess of Mont Claire is finally close to finding out who massacred her family changing her life forever. Declan Chandler, master of disguise too is seeking the same answers, although he doesn’t believe that Francesca is who she says she is and she’s not sure how this stranger knows things that no one left alive should know. Dark and passionate this story brings an explosive end to the series. Dark heroes, bold heroines, very nasty villains, massive amounts of angst and lots of steam are hallmarks of Kerrigan Byrne’s books and this one delivers in spades. Steam Level: Medium High.

When I received an advance copy of The Devil in Her Bed by Kerrigan Byrne I was happy and sad at the same time. Happy – thrilled, actually – because book #3 in The Devil You Know series was finally here, but sad - because book #3 in The Devil You Know series was finally here. Oh, how I wish there were more Red Rogues besides Alexandra, Cecelia, and Francesca; maybe one for each letter of the alphabet, so the series could go on and on. Because it’s that good.

The Devil in Her Bed is Francesca’s story. Her entire family was murdered when she was just a child, and she’s been searching for those responsible ever since. She’s grown into a fine woman with a place in society. But the hole in her heart has never healed. The Earl of Devlin is called the Devil of Dorset. He’s powerful, ruthless, always behind the scenes and in the shadows. It’s not obvious what draws them together, but it’s strong. And romantic. And sexy. And dangerous, by the way.

This story is full of secrets All of the Red Rogues had secrets, and so did Alexandra and Cecilia’s husbands Piers and Ramsay. But the secrets Francesca and the Earl are hiding make the secrets of the others pale in comparison. What could be a more horrible event in Francesca’s life than losing her family? What could such a secret be? And who is this Earl, this Devil? His reputation isn’t positive, but in spite of that he feels comfortable, not really familiar to Frank, but there is something there. It was great fun learning these secrets bit by enticing bit.

I felt pretty smug when I thought I had figured things out. And I had. But not all of it. Not even close. This is a wonderful story full of romance and heat and sorrow and longing – and fierce determination. To say much more would give too much away, and I want you to enjoy the experience for yourself, of learning about the past and the present and what kind of future there might be. It’s a thoroughly captivating journey.

Thanks to St. Martin’s Press for providing an advance copy of The Devil in Her Bed via NetGalley for my reading pleasure and honest review. I loved it, love this series, love this author! Recommend without hesitation. ( )

The Devil in Her Bed by Kerrigan Byrne
Devil You Know #3

Perfect ending to a trilogy in which three young girls form an enduring friendship and alliance that began in finishing school and carries on through adventures, murderous plots, cunning attacks, romances, and more.

What I liked:
* Chapter One: it sets the stage, introduces the burning reason behind Francesca’s need for revenge, and sets the stage for the story that: follows.
* Pippa: a young girl with more heart and love and caring than most. Not wealthy but well loved by parents and friends with the children of the wealthy family her parents worked for.
* Francesca: the main character of this book is not much like the young girl met in the first chapter. I admired her strength, will, tenacity, enduring love, strong true friendship with Cecilia and Alexandra, and so much more.
* Seeing the main characters of the previous two books in the series and catching up with them, a bit.
* Chandler: a man of many names and talents, strong, lethal, focused, intriguing. There was one time I wanted to smack him and give him a piece of my mind but thankfully Ramsay stepped in on my behalf…eventually.
* The writing, plot, pacing
* That I felt drawn in and part of the story.
* The twists and turns and surprises that occurred.
* That good did overcome evil and there eventually was a happy ending for all.

What I didn’t like:
* The Crimson Council: evil, hedonistic, easy to hate. Kept hoping they would be destroyed.
* Having to say goodbye to the characters.

Did I like this book? Definitely!
Would I read more by this author? As soon as a book is available!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Paperbacks for the ARC – This is my honest review.
