Sometimes there comes an author who you immediately connect with. The writing and storytelling ability is like a compulsion. You simply cannot get enough.
I don’t usually read a lot of historical romances but when I see this authors name on it, it’s an immediate grab. With an upcoming release pending, I’m excited to share my thoughts on this new story. Book 3 in a series of standalones that intertwine somewhat, here are my thoughts on this emotional and powerful story.
A Scoundrel of Her Own by Stacy Reid
Publisher : Entangled: Amara (December 28, 2021)
ISBN-13 : 978-1640637689
OVERVIEW:
Lady Ophelia Darby exists in two worlds. In one, she is the impudent, willful daughter of a powerful marquess and darling of the ton. In the other, she moves through the underworld’s shadows as songstress Lady Starlight, protected only by the notoriously wealthy scoundrel Devlin Byrne. But when she stumbles upon her beloved father’s darkest secrets, the line between her two worlds quickly blurs. Now she needs the help of the one man a lady should never trust.
Devlin Byrne stands on the edge of London society, knowing he will never be accepted. No one else knows that his obscene wealth and ruthlessness aren’t without purpose. Or that his purpose has golden-brown eyes that shimmer with mischief, the palest of skin, and a lush mouth that beckons to be kissed, and deeply. But having Ophelia is only the beginning of Devlin’s plans.
It’s undeniable that Devlin Byrne is a dangerous temptation―but just as Ophelia begins to trust him, maybe even fall for him, she discovers she’s not the only one with secrets. And his would lead her down more than just the path of scandal…

A Scoundrel of Her Own by Stacy Reid Review
This is book 3 in the series and as I look back on the other stories I read, I rated them all the same, five stars. For me a five star rating in a historical romance is very difficult.
But Reid’s a storyteller unlike anyone else. The characters are not typical. Her plots are definitely not typical. She pushes the boundaries with her flaming hot, intense, passionate scenes that just get into your soul.
This story is definitely my favorite. A Scoundrel of Her Own is unique and the deep, burning love story is unlike any you have read before. All consuming, intensely passionate, and a deep love unheard of in this setting.
Tears, smiles, and much happiness!
Reid has become a compulsion for me. Her storytelling ability is like none other and she simply stands out in this genre. An author not to be missed.
5 STARS!
