Kerrigan Byrne

A brand-new deliciously wicked romance series from USA Today Bestselling Author Kerrigan Byrne. The Goode Girls are aren't simply good, they're stunning. Doctor Titus Conleith emerged from his time as a battlefield surgeon with a mysterious fortune, a lethal secret, and a demon on his back. Ruthlessly intelligent, he was able to lift himself from his beginnings as coal-stained bastard through merciless discipline and inexhaustible skill. Alone by choice, he swore never to open his heart to another. Not after Honoria Goode. The heiress who shattered his hopes and then tread upon the shards of his heart with her bejeweled slippers. The beauty with whom he shared his first taste of passion, before she gave her hand to another. The woman whose life he just saved from bleeding out on his table... Honoria's life as a Viscountess has been nothing but a misery she'd brought upon herself with her own cowardice. Trapped for years in a loveless marriage to a cruel rake, she has been widowed by the consequences of his villainy. Now, she must face the man with the blazing golden eyes of the boy she once worshiped, and the dark past they both share. As their passion reignites with the same fervor of their youth, Honoria can't help but begin to wonder... Will he allow her the second chance she doesn't deserve?

My first 5-star review of 2021! I LOVED THIS ONE!! I had forgotten just how much I love Kerrigan Byrne's books and how beautifully written her characters are. I wasn't too sure about this one as it was a second chance romance, but as always, I was blown away!

Titus and Nora have such a beautiful, true love that made my heart swell. They had been torn apart by the worst circumstances and are brought back together in even worse circumstances when (mild spoiler) Nora almost dies and Titus is the one to stitch her back together just as he nursed her back to health when they were younger. I was rooting for them the entire time and fell in love with both Nora and Titus. This was a second chance romance that I wasn't upset or angry at either of the characters which is a big plus! Most of the time I find myself hating one of the characters because of something horrible they did to cause the split but neither of them were horrible people which was a huge relief. Now let's get down to the nitty-gritty!

What I loved:
-Titus. Without a doubt a man that now has my heart. He is angsty and sweet and loyal.
-Nora and all of her sisters! I loved their dynamic and the love they have for one another. 
-Titus being a surgeon is also a big bonus. There's something so hot about those scenes with them while he checks her wound that had my toes curling!
-The conflict didn't feel forced at all. Most of the time I can't stand whatever is standing in the way of a repaired second chance, but for this one it felt real and awful! It really had me stressed; in a good way though.
-The promise of all the other books in the series is a big plus! Knowing there are all these other books coming out after this one has me so excited!

What I didn't love:
-there was nothing major that could take away any stars, the only thing I didn't find perfect about the book is the length of them finally being together. I wanted more of the end, but again that's something that comes with sequels so I'm not upset about it. I just figured I would put this in for anyone who was not aware that this is a multi-book series and has trouble waiting for sequels because I know I'm struggling until the next one releases in February!

*I received this ARC through NetGalley and voluntarily read this book. my thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you, NetGalley and Oliver Heber Books for giving me the chance to read an advanced copy!*
