Kerrigan Byrne knows just what I'm looking for when it comes to a historical romance. Her series have been making me rush to buy the next book ever since she began putting out novels and this book is no exception.

From beginning to end I was hooked. I love all the characters in this novel. They are wonderfully crafted and give me all the character building I crave in a good literary piece.

As ever Ms. Byrne has created a literary prose worthy of the genre and packs in all the action we readers crave. Her dramatic flair has hit new levels with this book, and I can’t wait to see what she creates next.

I truly felt very fortunate to have received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. It was incredibly well written, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us readers next.

This was a swoon worthy read! I had such a great time reading it and really liked the development of the plot. Both the main characters were flawed and yet watching them fall in love with each other and learning to accept each other was sweet. I liked the action and mystery in the story and found this to be an overall great read!

Who doesn't love a Kerrigan Byrne book? This book held up to my expectations from Ms. Byrne.

I love a good enemies to lovers and was not disappointed with Ramsey and Cecelia. Ramsey a very grumpy and straight laced hero falls for our light if heart and over abundance of kindness heroine. Cecelia always managed to bring out the tender heart and mushy side of Ramsey.

Cecelia being described as a curvy, voluptuous woman was very dear to my heart. Being curvy can be hard to find love but Ramsey loved everything about her. It was nice to see a little bit of reality in this story.

As with other covers of Kerrigan Byrne this one didn't disappoint. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a good enemies to lovers story!!



Thank you Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Kerrigan Byrne has once again proven her prowess as an author. Her wonderfully well thought out and highly developed characters coupled with her amazing talent for storytelling will wow you. The age gap did admittedly throw me for a small loop, however I found this to be such a truly wonderful read that I would have no problems adding this to my read again list. I was given this book to review by Netgalley. All opinions expressed here are my own and completely voluntary.

Cecelia is a member of the Red Rogues. She had a terrible go of it for the first several years of her life. Ramsey is a straight-laced justice with no compassion. They meet at his brothers party and he is instantly attracted to her. Nothing comes of it until they meet again 3 months. He is attracted to her, but distrusts women. Sparks and tempers fly. Ramsey must save Cecelia before he can love her.

Kerrigan Byrne is a wonderful author and this is a terrific installment! The hero is Scottish and grumbly for those who like that sort of thing. :P The deception storyline really worked for me.

All Scot and Bothered is a swoon worthy romance between a shy and kind-hearted heroine, Cecelia, and a grumpy bear of a Scot, Cassius Gerard Ramsay. Both bearing secrets that have left them scarred in different ways, yet when they are together, sparks fly…and old wounds begin to heal by the power of being loved unconditionally.

Kerrigan Byrne has written a tale of how a kind beautiful heart can be the balm to sooth even the fiercest beast. I’ll not spoil the twists and turns of Cecelia and Ramsay’s love affair, Loved everything about this book!

This is my first Kerrigan Byrne book and boy did I love it. Enemies to lovers story in a Historical Romance. Warning, this one comes in a bit on the darker side and might make some readers uncomfortable with emotional abuse and some name calling. Also brings in a heroine with a curvy figure, my only complaint here is that the cover model is very slim so this does not fit with the actual story line (not the author’s fault).

I know I am in the minority but this book just did not work for. I couldn’t connect with any part of it. The plot seemed haphazardly thrown together and the characters left me cold. Byrne is an author I am always excited to read and this book was an anomaly. Hoping to love the next book in the series more.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I adored this book with my whole heart!!! I just love the way Kerrigan Byrne writes, and she has yet to let me down. We've got a gigantic Scottish grump of a hero who grows utterly obsessed with our kindhearted, fierce sunshine of a heroine. I love this kind of hero – he might be a grump to everyone else in the world, but he will turn into the mushiest, most tender sweetheart when it comes to the heroine (and her ward). And hello, age gap! This has all my favorite tropes in one book.

If you love your historical romances with passion, intrigue, and a good dose of angst, you need to read this book. Hell, you need to read all of Kerrigan Byrne's historicals. I love the concept of this series surrounding our three heroines, nicknamed the Red Rogues, and cannot wait for our third and final lady's story, about Francesca, to come out!

"Life had taught him that a man must rein in his appetites with an iron fist..." describes Lord Ramsey exactly. He has a strength of character that cannot be questioned because of his tight rein. He is nowhere near roguish and might be considered boring in some circles. Fortunately he meets his match in Cecelia Teague she's not a wild woman, but to him she's a living sin and he finds it difficult to not think about her.
Cecelia and Ramsey both suffered horribly as children and found their way out of it in different ways. Him with stubborn, strong character and hard work. Her by way of a benefactor and hard work.
Ms. Byrne has such beautiful writing. I love reading her books. She can add life to her stories by the way she describes things. Definitely 5 stars to me.

This story was awesome! I loved Ramsay and Cecelia together. The story line had an interesting plot with a surprise twist, I had no clue who was behind all of the chaos. Great ending with them finding their HEA.

This was so much fun to read!
I had the pleasure to read The Highwayman a while ago and I was so excited to read the story of Cassius Ramsay.
Kerrigan Byrne did not dissapoint with this new addition to an epic series!

Many readers are going to love this ultra steamy historical romance. There are many things I enjoyed about this book, including a heroine who is smart, educated, and plump, and a big and brawny hero who is shadow to her light. This book also has some serious and dark elements that aren’t apparent from the title or cover.

This is the second book of a series, and I think that I would have been confused about some aspects of this book related to the history of Cecilia and her two best friends if I hadn’t already read the first. I enjoyed the first book more than this one, but that is subjective. I never became completely invested in this couple and there were times when their feelings and actions seemed inconsistent and didn’t make sense. Yet, I am looking forward to the third book.

I have conflicted feelings about this book. The first half honestly pissed me off. Ramsey is a major jerk to Cecilia with little reason. Yeah, he has a history of issues, but that's not a good enough excuse for how horribly he treats her. While he does make up for it some in the second half, I feel like he never apologized profusely enough (I feel that often in books). I also found the nicknames for Cecilia and her friends a little odd. Why not just call each other consistently by their actual names instead of sometimes by a male nickname? The book isn't bad, but it wasn't anywhere near a favorite either.

Kerrigan Byrne delivers again in an amazing historical romance novel filled with passion and intrigue!

I've been loving Kerrigan's historical romance and find myself anxiously awaiting all her upcoming releases. This is BIG for me because I have never really been a fan of the genre. However, when Kerrigan writes one, I want it! This was the perfect addition to the series and readers who love a little action and a lot of passion within the characters won't want to miss this one.

I really enjoyed this book! I was interested in the main characters from the very beginning and I really enjoyed them. I did think there were a lot of unnecessary paragraphs where the characters were observing how great the other was and comparing them to gods, etc. After the first few chapters, I skimmed over those. They were not necessary for the story and I wanted to read the story!
Thanks for the advanced reader copy!

Another beautifully written and extremely captivating installment in author Kerrigan Byrne's DEVIL YOU KNOW series. Highly recommended.

**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.'"

People love this author so much. I keep reading her books because I feel like I must just not be reading her book correctly. Maybe I'm being too picky. Maybe I'm just an ass.

It is official. Kerrigan Byrne is not for me. Her writing style and the constant emotional tilt a whirl make me dizzy and a bit nauseous. A chief judge that does all of his own super secret investigation is just a bit silly to me. A woman who cannot decide how she feels from one moment to the next makes me crazy. Although I enjoy a bananas plot, I need some kind on ground to stand on and in this book I got none.
I could not connect to either of these people and I found that I did not care if they got an HEA or not.

Another amazing story in the Devil You Know series! This time it is about Cecelia Teague, the buxom mathematician and one of the three "Red Rogues". We first met Cecilia in How To Love a Duke in Ten Days where it was revealed that a wealthy and anonymous benefactor has been financing her education and providing her with an allowance. She has long wondered who it is, and she finally founds out who it is.

Ramsey, the Vicar of Vice and Lord Chief Justice, has dedicated his life to cleaning up the streets of London and eradicating it of its dens of inequity. He allows himself no pleasures or vices, with a reputation for having the highest of moral standards. That is, until he meets Miss Cecelia Teague, and his iron veneer and wall of ice around his heart start to crumble.

Ms. Byrne as usual delivers us an exciting story full of mystery and intrigue, with plenty of surly Scotsman thrown in. It was so much fun seeing the grumpy Lord Chief Justice melt when it came to Phoebe, and to see him slowly lower his guard when it came to Cecilia.

I knew Cecilia's past was a tragic one, and I wanted so much for her to finally feel like she was loved and accepted just as she was. She's inherited something unique from her benefactor that she commits to wholeheartedly, but it puts her at direct odds with Lord Chief Justice Ramsey. With the loyal Jean Yves with her and the Red Rogues, she has finally found something that makes her feel fulfilled and excited about the future. But will it come at the cost of no future with Ramsey? I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out!

I have truly been loving these historical romances!! Cecilia and Ramsey together are pure perfection, and I feel like Ms. Byrne has left enough little clues in the first two books to clue me in as to who will star in book three with Francesca. I can't wait to read it!
