Devilish indeed!

The Devil in Her Bed (Devil You Know #3) by Kerrigan Byrne   

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The last unattached member of the Red Rogue Society, Lady Francesca Cavendish, Countess of Mont Claire, is continuing the battle with the Crimson Council. Using her attractions to sway men attached to the group to reveal their secrets.

The story of this strong dangerous woman that is Francesca, how she arrived here is riveting. Past and present intersect with her story to give us a violent, daring epistle laced with hope.

I loved Francesca’s comittment, her fearlessness to avenge those she loved and lost.

I admired the almost ninja / Mata Hari type she’s become in that endeavour, her singleminded focus—a warrior queen. Her ability to remain cool and focused in dangerous situations is part of who she is.

The way she takes charge and makes decisions even in the most passionate of moments is telling.

I was drawn to the ferocity and fire that’s Declan Chandler aka the Devil of Dorset, and the past that has shaped him into the now.

I just wish he’d given time, or they’d both had time for confessions. Always something interrupted that process, naturally building the tension, but I was always silently urging them to listen to each other. They didn’t! 

I felt Francesca’s two Rogue sisters could have been more supportive, but I was touched to see Ramsay (Lord Cassius Gerard Ramsay—engaged to Rogue Cecelia) going into bat for Francesca and his acceptance of her.

I felt decidedly queasy at some parts of the story—yet those occasions do form the background of evil at work.

Chandler and Francesca, the tiger and the dragon rise Phoenix like from the ashes of their childhood but it’s a close, hard fought thing.
