A Rogue by Night is the third book in the Devils of Dover series by Kelly Bowen. It is currently scheduled for release on May 28 2019. You do not need to have read the previous books to fully enjoy this one, but returning readers will enjoy seeing favorite characters make their appearances.
Baron. Physician. Smuggler. Harland Hayward is living a double life as an aristocrat by day and a criminal by night. As a doctor, Harland has the perfect cover to appear in odd places at all hours, a cover he uses to his advantage. He's chosen this life to save his family from financial ruin, but he draws the line at taking advantage of the honest and trustworthy Katherine Wright. Katherine thought she was done smuggling. Having finally convinced her ailing father and injured brother to abandon their criminal pursuits, she's returned to England to help them escape to a new life--once she helps them fulfill their last contract. And that means working with Hayward, even when her instincts tell her that becoming his ally may be a risk to her heart - as well as her life.
A Rogue by Night is a engaging historical romance, and I love how strong and independent all the women in this series are, and Katherine is no exception. She is an accomplished surgeon, with battlefield experience and an unusual set of skills and contacts that come in very handy. Harland respects women, and is well versed in how intelligent and unexpected they may be. I enjoyed watching these two find their way through danger and their less than stellar histories to find a way forward. I found both characters and their story to be compelling and entertaining. There were moments were my mind wandered, but I think that is more on me and the hectic nature of my week rather than an issue with the story.
A Rogue by Night is a good historical romance, and a nice addition to the series. I think it is a must read for fans, and a good weekend read for anyone else that enjoys strong women and their men.
