How to Love a Duke in Ten Days (Devil You Know #1)

by Kerrigan Byrne

Kerrigan Byrne has started her new series, The Devil You Know with an ablate bang! From the moment I started on the first pages of How To Love A Duke in Ten Days, I was hooked and enamoured with the leading ladies of this new series. They call themselves the Red Rogues and have banded together at boarding school together. These are the girlfriends you want on your side!

How To Love A Duke in Ten Days tells the story of the strong, intelligent and beautiful archeologist, Lady Alexandra Lane as she ventures to the castle of the scarred Duke of Redmayne, in order to rescue her friend and fellow Rogue from her marriage to said duke! Ever the loyal friend, Alexandra proposes herself to the duke!

Both the characters of Alexandra and Piers , the Duke of Redmayne, are wonderfully written and immediatly relatable, both are flawed and in need of something to make them whole. I fell in love with their intimate kindnesses to each other.

I adored this story and am now anxiously awaiting the next book in this series. Also- the cover art on the book is perfect! Beautiful and taken right from the book, I love it!

How To Love A Duke in Ten Days by Kerrigan Byrne is due to release August 27th, 2019.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin's Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Art of Taxidermy

by Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley.

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms! This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
