Tempting Fate

Tempting Fate

The Goode Girls, Book 4

by Kerrigan Byrne

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


After reading the previous book, Dancing with Danger, this book was just what I was looking for!


There is nothing I love more than the redemption of a brutal hero by the love and care from a sweet and innocent heroine.


Gabriel Sauvageau, former braun of the Fauves has started a new life thanks the magic of plastic surgery. His face has been brutally disfigured since the age of 16, now he is able to go out in public and not be recognized as the monster he was.


Gabriel plans to leave England, but before he does, he must check on the lady he has loved from afar, his brothers wife sister, Felicity Goode. This excursion sets into motion the events that end in Gabriel being hired as Felicity’s personal body guard since she has had multiple suspicious attacks lately.


Oh- how I love a good forced proximity romance! This romance between Felicity and Gabriel was so sweet as they both fight with their feelings for each other. Feelings that are new for both of them! Swoon!


This story was as dark and grimy as I usually expect from Kerrigan Bryne, but in this case I didn’t miss it because the story didn’t call for it as Gabriel protected his society lady and escorted her to her balls. I loved with opposites attract match, good and evil, and the sizzling chemistry she created between Gabriel and Felicity. 



Tempting Fate by Kerrigan Byrne is scheduled to release May 11th, 2021.


I received a complimentary copy of this book from Oliver Herberts Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
