5By jal1025Very exciting story. I liked the suspense and intrigue. The characters were flawed but so likable. In the end, you are rooting for the HEA.Amazing feminine lead
5By LuBlkFrom the get go you get how tough Aggie is but it gets even more astonishing how much she has gone through to keep herself and family safe, she could have done it on her own but it was great how fast the Duke, Devin decides he is going to help her. Great twists and turns and even their traumatic pasts reels you into their love story. I had mostly been reading contemporary romance novels but this book reminded me how much I enjoyed reading historical romances and looking forward to more from K.J. Jackson and getting snippets about how Aggie and Devin are doing in the other book in this series.Good story line
3By Avidly Reading...There were good things to applaud in this book but I’m not into all the sex scenes and twisted mind games that the author had a need to include. The person who was behind all the terror didn’t seem true to it whom and where he associated. There was too much darkness and tragedy. Each character comes from a place of a harsh, debilitating history. The characters were lively, the plot moved along quickly, and there are some daring, last minute escapes and rescues which gave me the chance to give the book three stars.Stone Devil Duke

4By triple diamondsI enjoyed this book very much. The feisty young Aggie somehow managed to upend the duke's calm existence. She met him on one of her nightly escapades. Disguised as a hackney driver, she was out on the streets of London at night looking for her father's murderers. His need to protect her, even though she was a stranger to him, and her stubborn independence caused them to clash. In the end, however, she realized the duke was the best thing that could happen to her. Read the book to find out how their lives take a course neither had anticipated.
