I enjoy fast books, and I usually adore Kerrigan Byrne’s writing but this one flew by and I ended up feeling a bit disappointed. Crying Wolfe is entirely focused on the characters; no side mystery or plot to zhuzh things up or distract from the budding relationship. That can be lovely, but it also puts a lot of stress on the characters to deliver. I really enjoyed Rosaline and Eli was amusing in his stereotypical “American West” gruffness. Out of […]
Like most of Byrne’s books, Tempting Fate bring readers a sweet romance with a hint of mystery. The last unattached Goode Sister, Felicity is the sole heiress of her parent’s estate. After a stranger threatens her in broad daylight she quickly puts out an ad requesting interviewees for a bodyguard. Felicity runs into Gabriel, literally, and hires his looming hulky self to guard her. Throughout the series, Felicity has been characterized as fragile with a sweet, timid heart. Easily frightened, Felicity […]

In Prudence’s book, Honoria (Nora) was an easy character to dislike and honestly felt a bit like a villain. I was excited to see Courting Trouble on the docket so we could see how complicated Honoria was! We picked up right at the tail end of book one (not going to spoil it) and Honoria ends up in Titus’s clinic. Now, […]
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! I haven’t seen many paranormal historicals, but I am absolutely here for it. Even as a short holiday novella, Byrne expertly wove interesting backgrounds for Vanessa and John. Vanessa’s burning curiosity about John’s situation after the initial scare was so much fun. Coupled with her love of photography, […]
I stumbled on Kerrigan Byrne’s work last year after an opportunity to read and review How to Love a Duke in Ten Days but this is my first time reading one of the Victorian Rebels! Reading it as a standalone worked perfectly well, but I admit I would have enjoyed it more if I had the other books to reflect on for the cameos. The first meeting of our dear couple, Morley and Prudence, is steamy and scandalous and I […]
