All Scott and Bothered

Devil you Know series - Book 2

by Kerrigan Byrne

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Kerrigan Bryrne harkens back to the roots of old school historical romance with her latest offering!

If hansom, gold , Scottish men with an extreme sense of righteousness and brimstone are your thing, than this is your jam! Lord Chief Justice Cassius Ramsay is in a mission to stop vice at any cost… even when he discovers that the latest owner of a seedy hell and brothel is actually is sister-in-laws beautiful best friend.

Cecelia Teague was rescued and has been living off of the generosity of a mysterious benefactor, that is until they pass away and she inherits the school/ gambling hall that has been supporting her all these years. Now she will fight for the rights of her employees and the women they help to keep her establishment… even if she is at risk!

This is an enemies to to lovers in the extreme book. Ramsay and Cecelia are fighting on opposite sides of the law and genders. Ramsay starts off as a female hating suspicious man in this book and his prejudices are slowly chipped away at by our fearless heroine. Ramsay may rescue Cecelia a time or two, but she is the real hero of this story. She is strong, when all others are against her. She is kind and generous when others have not been to her. She is a fight for they disenfranchised and the leveller of men. Without her, our hero would still be a roaring beast. She literally is the precipice that makes him open his eyes to real truth and justice, not his black and white version.

Even though, it was hard to get over the hero’s character in the beginning of the story, holding out was made all the sweeter for his transition. This was an empowering addition to the series!

***This book is part of a series, but can easily be read as a stand alone.

All Scott and Bothered by Kerrigan Byrne is scheduled to release September 29th, 2020.

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