The Scot Beds His Wife is the next lush, captivating Victorian romance in the Victorian Rebels series by Kerrigan Byrne.
They’re rebels, scoundrels, and blackguards—dark, dashing men on the wrong side of the law. But for the women who love them, a hint of danger only makes the heart beat faster.
Gavin St. James, Earl of Thorne, is a notorious Highlander and an unrelenting Lothario who uses his slightly menacing charm to get what he wants—including too many women married to other men. But now, Gavin wants to put his shady past behind him…more or less. When a fiery lass who is the heiress to the land he wishes to possess drops into his lap, he sees a perfectly delicious opportunity…
A marriage most convenient
Samantha Masters has come back to Scotland, in a pair of trousers, and with a whole world of dangerous secrets from her time spent in the Wild West trailing behind her. Her only hope of protection is to marry—and to do so quickly. Gavin is only too willing to provide that service for someone he finds so disturbingly irresistible. But even as danger approaches, what begins as a scandalous proposition slowly turns into an all-consuming passion. And Gavin discovers that he will do whatever is necessary to keep the woman he has claimed as his own…
It’s about stinkin’ time I come across a historical romance novel that exemplifies all of the qualities in a good novel I crave. I can’t express in words how I felt when I began reading and realized that I was getting the raw, gritty Victorian scoundrel hero I wanted so much and the leading lady with a good, working brain in her head. We (readers) are pretty well done with swooning idiots in a corset who can’t make up their minds or open their mouths enough to say more than an oooh or an aaah. Consider that request granted.
Kerrigan Byrne’s writing is fantastic. I love her descriptions and the way she delivers her characters’ mannerisms to the reader with ease. The story leaves absolutely nothing to be further desired and the delivery of plot is fantastic. I have absolutely nothing to complain or nit-pic over.
I can’t imagine not reading the rest of the books listed on the author’s website as belonging to the Victorian Rebels collection. Now that I know they exist, I’m going to read them next.
