A Rogue by Night (The Devils of Dover #3)

by  

This is the third book in the Devils of Dover series, in the first two books of the series we hear the story of the Hayward sister overcome personal and family struggles to find love. Now in ‘A Rogue By Night we hear the final tale of the Hayward siblings, brother, head of the family, merchant, baron, teacher, doctor and smuggler, Harland Hayward.

Dr. Hayward has been living on the Dover coast with his suiters at their school for girls and hiding in plain sight for years. He is not what the residents see and he is not what his family sees with. Secretly he has been leading the coastal smuggling ring and using the profits to rescue his family from financial ruin.

Miss Katharine Wright has recently returned to Dover from using her medical expertise int he wars on the continent. She has stayed alway for longer that needed to nurse her patients and her bruised ego and broken heart. She returns to her smuggling trade family sure in her belief that she will not go back to her old ways… until they need her… and a certain doctor needs her medical expertise.

This is a delicious enemies to lovers story where the hero and heroine are so much alike, that they can’t help to hate and eventually love each other. I loved learning about the brooding doctors back story and more about the smuggling hinted at in the past books. I feel this book is enjoyable in the series but can stand on its our for reader who have not read the first two. Kelly Bowen’s writing is enjoyable to read and her characters have many interesting facets.

A Rogue By Night by Kelly Bowen is to be released May 27, 2019.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Forever (Grand Central Publishing) through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener!

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
