Spies, criminal investigators, and criminals are all like catnip for me and I have been itching to get my greedy paws on Sebastien’s book since the first book in the series. Paired with my fascination with Princess Anastasia and I was smitten. I loved Anya! She is exactly the sort of heroine I enjoy rooting for.

I’ve read a lot of Kerrigan Byrne this year and I’m wondering if she can do no wrong story-wise.

I’m beginning to wonder if Kerrigan Byrne will ever write something I’m not a huge fan of. The Earl of Christmas Past was such a fun spin on a Victorian holiday haunting!

Review: A Secret Surrender by ..

I’m always excited when I see the potential for a criminal romanced by a lawman (a constable in this case)! Selina is a con-woman trying to support herself and her best friend while they work towards their respective goals. Harry, a straight-laced gentleman that works for Bow Street, was an interesting character. While technically a part of the ton, unlike most second-born sons, Harry skips over purchasing a commission or becoming a man of the cloth and chooses to work […]
