Review:
Francesca Cavendish, Countess of Monte Claire, is on a secret mission to infiltrate the organization responsible for the massacre of her family years ago. As the sole survivor, she bides her time while plotting revenge and masquerading as a rich, carefree, often promiscuous countess. But appearances can be deceiving. Only the other Red Rogues, her two best friends since childhood and their spouses, know her darkest secret. In short, Francesca is a powerful, justice-wielding warrior - one who is in dismay at having drawn the attention of the man called the Devil of Dorset. Unbeknownst to Francesca, the "Devil" is harboring secrets of his own. One of the Crown's secret weapons, he too is on a mission to expose and bring down the evil Crimson Council. Powerful, protective, gruff, he's a man just as horrified as the Countess at the intense physical attraction sizzling between them. Both loners, neither has the time nor inclination for romance and thus they snarl and snap at each other, denying their attraction and true identities for as long as they can. When secrets escape, chaos ensues and everything comes crashing down. What will happen when their past catches up to them? Who will survive?
The Devil In Her Bed is a dark historical romance overflowing with a wide range of emotion. I love a dark damaged hero and readers certainly get one in the Devil of Dorset whose true identity is in question. They also get a damaged yet strong, determined heroine in Countess Francesca. I enjoyed the tenacity and determination of both characters as they battled wits. Deceit, secrets, danger, passion all combine to drive this suspenseful story at a frantic pace to several revelations that will rock each character's world and surprise some readers. Byrne's brilliant rendering of this powerful story kept me turning pages even after some secrets are revealed - some I guessed, some I didn't. All in all, I found this to be the perfect ending to a fantastic series. The Devil In Her Bed is the third and final book in the Devil You Know trilogy featuring three friends and their search for truth, love and happiness. Since these stories really build upon each other, I highly advise starting with book one and working your way through to this one. Highly recommended to fans of suspense and historical romance.
