  Her Night with the Duke by Diana Quincy My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was my first Diana Quincy novel, I really enjoyed her writing style and I will definitely be checking out her other books.

  All Scot and Bothered by Kerrigan Byrne My rating: 5 of 5 stars So good! Kerrigan Byrne draws you in and makes it impossible to put down. I love the Red Rogues and how they have each other's backs. Cecelia was strong and resilient despite her initial upbringing. Cassius was so grumpy I wondered when I was going to like him and lucky that finally changed. I did not want this one to end. I'm already looking forward to the next book in this series. Cecelia Teague was plucked from an abusive home by a secret benefactor and sent to respected boarding schools and even university. Out of nowhere, she inherits a gambling house, frequented by some of London's more powerful people. Lord Chief Justice of the High Court: Cassius Gerard Ramsay is captivated by Cecelia. His past has made him unwilling to give in to any of life's pleasures but Cecelia might be the one to change that.
