A Dark and Stormy Night

Victorian Rebels, Book 7

by Kerrigan Byrne

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Fate has a way of bringing opposites together… and when the get together, they light up like a match in a gas leak… B-A-M!!!

All I can say is that this book started off with a bang (literally 😉) and held on for the rest of the story!

Sir Carlton Morley, Cutter is a character wrapped in shadows He has risen ups from the streets on lies and secrets, but one night in a shadowy garden cracks his reserve and he now needs to find a way to live and trust in the truth.

Prudence Goode doesn’t want a loveless marriage to a man needing her dowery and going after anything in a skirt. She decides to choose herself and visits a hedonistic garden to give the gift of her body to the man of her choice. These memories will keep her warm in her loveless marriage… until her shadowy lover becomes her husband.

Morley was a hero that reminds you of Batman and sexy as hell. He could have carried this story himself, but Pru added another dimension as the king to his yang. A perfect pairing!

As book 7 in the Victorian Rebels series other characters showed up from past books… This was my first book I have read from the series and I found that it could easily be read as a standalone - BUT this book was so good and the side characters so intriguing that I now need to go back up and catch up on all the other Victorian Rebels!

A Dark and Stormy Night by Kerrigan Byrne is scheduled to release June 2nd, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Gnarly Wool Publishing through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
