I loved this book so much. The intrigue from the beginning really drew me in and the connection between the two main characters even as children. This was the first book I’ve read by Kerrigan Byrne and even though there were 5 books previous to this one, there wasn’t anything that I didn’t understand and am so keen to read the ones before this.
My favourite thing about this book is the way that the author really makes you feel the emotions the characters feel. I’m so looking forward to more from her, I have high hopes that Veronica’s second husband is who I want it to be! 5 stars!

Lorelei saves an 18 year old young man who lost his memory from deadly injuries. He falls in love with her but before he can make a proposition her mean brother makes him disappear, and it takes him 20 years to come back to her, meanwhile morphed into a cold-hearted pirate.
Will she be able to crack him and find the sweet boy again she lost 20 years ago?

While I did overall enjoy it, the beginning was a little too assault-like for me. I think the book would have done better if the first few encounters hadn't been that way.

This was a different tale than what I was expecting. Some aspects were graphic, emotional and I finished it in hours. It is my first time reading this author and am intrigued to read more. Thank you Netgalley.

Holy crap what an awesome story! You might want to keep a fire extinguisher handy in case of combustion! This book is so hot! The tension and desire between these characters is so intense! Thanks Kerrigan!

This book was not what I was expecting but a good read nonetheless. A story with many strands to be untangled, some of which were with surprising results. Would recommend this

Lorelei will never forget the night she rescued the broken dark angel in the woods, a devilishly handsome man who haunts her dreams to this day. Crippled as a child, she devoted herself to healing the poor tortured man. And when he left, he took a piece of her heart with him. Now, after all these years, The Rook has returned. Like a phantom, he sweeps back into her life and avenges those who wronged her. When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Kerrigan Byrne is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.

I received this novel from net galley and the publisher for an honest review. Thank you!
This novel takes place in two parts. Lorelei Weatherstoke was crippled by her brother as a child, for he is a cruel individual and her parents did nothing. She finds a boy lying naked, badly injured, unconscious, and no memory of his previous life except a dragon tattoo. Lorelei calls him Ash and she falls in love with him. Ash falls in love with Lorelei and makes her two promises, but also knows he has a dark side, even though he does not have any memory of his previous life. Ash disappears with no word to Lorelei.
20 years later, a man called the Rook appears on the day Lorelei is supposed to be married and kidnaps her. She recognizes his as Ash, even though he tells her not to call him that. Both are not the same people they were 20 years ago. The Rook has done many notorious deeds and is a killer, but he has traveled around the world. The one thing that kept him going was Lorelei, for she was his heart and light, even though he did not realize it. They begin to reconnect with each other, even though it is very difficult for them, especially Rook, who has trouble discussing the past 20 years and his disappearance. Lorelei still loves him, even though he is the Rook, but still finds glimpses of Ash. Both will need to accept the past in order to have a future together.

I really loved this book! Lorelei was portrayed as meek/weak for just a bit, but her true strength was shown in her grit and endurance! She lived with the devil for all the years of her life and in the end, knew the truth that hating someone takes more passion and energy than forgetting them! The Rook was the perfect "bad boy" for the story. He has his history and reasons for why he was the way he was. The ending was perfect as well. The last words of the last chapter before the Epilogue truly summed up their whole connection for me! THAT was my favorite part! Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This is one book that shouldn't be passed up!

So this should have been the real last one, but something in the end made me think that it could also be something different; anyway I am not very fond of bodice ripper and pirates so I didn't enjoyed this installment as the previous in the series, but it was not so bad.

Anche se questo dovrebbe essere l'ultimo volume della serie, ci credo poco, inoltre non essendo io una grande fan dei pirati non mi ha fatto proprio impazzire, ma alla fine é stato divertente quanto basta.

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

I was given an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

I hadn’t read one like this in a while, a good abduction with the rogue with a heart of gold. Reminds me of the romances I read as a kid in the 80s and 90s. Diverting.
