This was a great read but I was left a little disappointed. I felt like I needed more, needed answers to some questions., but the writing was great and had lots of action and adventure and romance, overall great book.

5 stars! The Devil in her bed is the third book in Kerrigan Byrne's The Devil you Know series. If you have read the first two books, you already know the secret Francesca hides. We have been waiting a long time to see how her story was going to enfold. You honestly cant say to much about this book going in, but Francesca is a esteemed lady of the ton who spends her nights trying to find out who killed her family. Our hero, lives in secret service to the Crown. HIs path crosses with Francescas and the fun, excitement, and intrigue begins. Cant recommend enough!

Francesca Cavendish, Countess of Mont Claire has worked and trained for many years in order to crush the Crimson Council which killed all her family and loved ones. She is close to achieving her goal when Declan Chandler, also known as The Devil of Dorset, appears. They both are determined to destroy the Crimson Council. These two are strong, quite likable characters. They both have secrets and the revelation of their secrets in the story is fascinating. I really enjoyed this third book in author Kerrigan Byrne's Devil You Know series.The intrigue is scrumptious, a mystery to be devoured.

He's the Devil of Dorset, one of the Crown’s most dangerous agents. She’s the Countess of Mont Claire, or is she? Frances Cavendish is seeking revenge for the death of her family many years earlier. The Crimson Council is responsible and she means to destroy them. Can the Devil of Dorset protect her when she goes after them? He suspects that she is not who she appears to be but is drawn to her. Will his past destroy any chance at love for them or can they look to a brighter future? This is book three in a great series by Kerrigan Bryne. I recommend this entire series.

This story certainly was different, there was so much going on. Francesca was one tough lady! I did find the story to be a bit too dark for my tastes, but it picked up towards the end and got my interest. The ending was the best part. 3-1/2 stars
.

I have loved getting to know the three Red Rogues throughout this series. And I couldn't wait to find out all of Francesca's backstory in The Devil In Her Bed. And boy, was it worth waiting for. Though this is a series, and I highly recommend reading all of these books because they are fantastic, each book can be easily read as a standalone.

I loved the strength of both of the main characters here. Chandler and Francesca each had their own strengths. They also were able to see and appreciate the strength of the other. They complimented each other in every way. You could feel the passion burning bright between them.

This was a sexy, riveting tale full of suspense, passion, and enough twists and turns to keep me furiously flipping the pages. I cannot wait to read more novels from Kerrigan Byrne.

The final book in the trilogy, this book shows what Francesca has been up to with the men of society and who the mysterious Chandler really is. It answers all our questions about the crimson council as well. I really enjoyed all the characters of the trilogy and this book, though very dark, was enticing.

The Devil in Her Bed, is a very exciting romance novel. Something new every chapter. I will be telling all of my friends to add this to their read list.

How does one return from loosing everyone they have ever loved? They do it by hanging on to revenge. Francesca lost everyone she loved at 14. She took on the identity of another so she could enact her revenge. Chandler lost everything twice. One as a small child and then again a few years later at 16. Everyone was murdered. He must enact revenge the man who had them all killed. The two come together in a passion so bright it will blind you. They both have secrets and mistrust. Can they learn to forgive and forget and love? You will have to read to find out.

Unfortunately, The Devil in Her Bed doesn't stand alone without a great deal of confusion for the reader. The writing was fine and the adventure and suspense were fun but it was difficult to understand the plot, as it relied upon the previous books in the series so heavily.

The Devil in Her Bed is the third book of the series, featuring the final friend of the Red Rogues. I enjoyed this Kerrigan Byrne series immensely, although I do think this is my least favorite of them all.

I was intrigued by Francesca since the beginning and I couldn't wait to see how her story would play out. I loved her character, I loved the suspense and intrigue and the conclusion to the trilogy. I also loved Chandler and how the two of them interacted.

What I didn't love was how long the secrecy went on between Francesca and Chandler, specifically Francesca's secret. I felt she had so many opportunities to reveal her true identity, and she just kept putting it off. And then Chandler's reaction to the revelation was disappointing to say the least. He took it a little too hard all considered.

That hindered my absolute enjoyment of the book, but it was still Kerrigan Byrne so it was still a great story.

3.75 -4 stars

t: second chance
cw: murder, cult-like secret society, mentions of sex trafficking

Didn't realise Francesca was this badass judging from the previous books but anyway I love her and Chandler. This book is also probably the horniest out of all three? Not a complaint, obviously.

Also for some super spy, it certainly took Chandler a loooong while to figure out that Francesca wasn't actually Francesca, huh?

1 star

In order to review this ARC I read the entire series.

This one was the best of three bad books, at least in terms of pacing.

Yet we have again, a hero that didn't even come close to deserving or respecting the heroine. Another hero who absolutely hates the heroine because he thinks she's a slut, until he takes her virginity and falls in love. In this case, we have the Madonna / whore complex: he loves the virginal memory of Francesca, but finds his lust for the "whore" adult version sinful / repugnant / immoral. It is a lot to work through, and he doesn't do it fast enough.

My relief that the anti-Romani racism and stereotyping I was expecting based on slurs used in book 1 never materialized was quickly ruined by the reveal that the villain in this novel, a depraved, perverted, treasonous murderer is... Gay!

Seriously.

This is homophobia folx. This is the only gay man in the series (other than his partners, never named).

So villain 1: child sex abuse survivor
Villain 2: jealous exploitative sex worker
Villain 3: gay man

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC; this opinion is wholly my own.

If you like strong women, read Joanna Shupe, Eva Leigh, or Sarah MacLean. Their heroines get head and shoulders better treatment than this.

What an emotionally gripping book. It draws you in and makes you want to give everyone a hug, because they absolutely need it. Pip and Declan are strong characters who have been to hell and fought their way back. One of my favorite quotes is, "It was widely thought that women were delicate creatures. Like seashells and flower petals. Like things that were easy to break and crush and discard. Useful, pretty. Ephemeral.

If this was so, Francesca Cavendish was a flower made of steel."

The other books in the series are just as good as this one. What an amazingly talented author!

Revenge is best served hot..(SPOILERS)

Rating: 4 stars

The Devil in Her bed follows the 3rd and final member of the Red Rogues , Francesca Cavendish aka Pippa. Francesca is out for revenge against the people who killed her family and friends along with her love Declan Chandler. Along her road to revenge she runs into Chandler who she believed to be dead. Chandler is suspicious of her because he remembers her to be a gentle slight woman but this Francesca is her own hero. Francesca doesn’t tell Declan who she really is because he was always in love with the real Francesca and not her (Pippa).

This book for me wasn’t the most heartbreaking story of the trilogy. (How to Love a Duke in Ten Days still holds the title) however it is a close second. She didn’t just murder the whole family she murder murdered them and Francesca had to witness all of it. That is the most heartbreaking part of the story. And like any good Kerrigan Byrne story you are just stressed and entertained the rest of the time.

The book has a childhood lovers/ unrequited love/ revenge troupe about it which are featured in several of her other books so I like that she returns to that in several of her novels. The series as a whole was great and this book really delivers on sexy good times. Declan and Francesca have such a great chemistry that it really irks that she doesn’t tell him who she is sooner and you just want to punch Declan in the face for even suggesting that she was just after Francesca’s title and money. The book has twists and turns and a surprise that I wasn’t expecting so this was a good read and I Highly recommend!

The final book in the Red Rogues series is just as exciting and sexy as the first two were. Kerrigan is an amazing writer who keeps you turning pages.

4.25/5⭐️

This is the final in a trilogy from an author I had never read before but have now become a fan of.

This one started out with the heroine Pippa (as a girl of 9) losing her entire family/friends to a violent massacre. She is hidden by Chandler, her childhood crush who is later killed as well. Twenty years later, out of revenge for the deaths, she has assumed the life of her dead friend Francesca (a countess). As she investigates a mysterious and sinister secret order, she uncovers more than she bargained for.

I enjoyed Francesca’s/Pippa’s feisty, cunning character and her loyal single-mindedness in rooting out the villains. In the end, she faces the heart wrenching decision of exposing her true identity to the man she loves. Well envisioned and unique plot.

Many thanks to #NetGalley and #StMartinsPress for providing me the early ARC. The opinions are strictly my own.

Both Chandler and Pippa, scarred by a tragic attack on their family, think each other dead. They both remake themselves into someone else. So much so, they don’t recognize each other when they meet many years later. They both have been seeking the people responsible to get revenge. Can they work together to finally get justice? I received an ARC from NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for my honest review.

This book was very very good!! Francesca is trying to find out who murdered her family and meets Chandler who is also investigating it. The description and dialogue are great! There was suspense, mystery, romance and action! I don’t want to give too much away there was so much detail and the story is fantastic you have to read it for yourself to discover it!

This was a diverting read. Kept me interested from start to finish and had a lovely story line. I would like to see stories for some of the other characters mentioned in this book as well.
