![]() ![]() And if there’s one thing that Kerrigan Byrne does best, it’s a second chance romance involving two people who loved each other when they were younger. I can’t really explain why…but historical romance writers really do this trope justice. When it comes to second chance romance, I typically enjoy this trope the most in historical romance. Furthermore, the prologue might be an information overload if you didn’t read Seducing a Stranger/A Dark and Stormy Knight. But keep in mind that the events from the first book heavily influence the turn of events in Courting Trouble. If you’re new to Kerrigan Byrne, you will get a short breakdown of the events that unfolded in the first book. If you’ve read Morley’s book, then the prologue will act as a quick refresher. The author quickly summarizes the events from the first book Seducing a Stranger/A Dark and Stormy Knight during the prologue. ![]() I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Ĭourting Trouble is the second book in the Goode Girls series and it features an angsty second chance romance between two lovers who were torn apart because of their difference in social class. ![]()

Baldacci himself seems only partly engaged in the task here. Scooby-Doo had villains more complicated than these distinctive quirks of the characters, such as one wearing 19th-century clothing, make them only mildly interesting. Baldacci is not a particularly graceful writer, e.g., “Like all Secret Service agents, his suits were designed a little big in the chest, to disguise the bulge of the weapon.” Worse is the author’s chronic inability to draw convincing characters. ![]() ![]() Throughout, Baldacci ( Hour Game, 2004, etc.) drops reliable twists, revealing the federal agent murder to be-surprise-a minuscule piece of a much bigger plot involving snipers, nukes, a presidential kidnapping and an even gloomier vision of the future.

I will also say that when I started this book back in April 2019, I had no idea it was going to take me until October to fully finish it. There were quite a lot of high-octane, important moments that pique your interest, but with that comes a lot of slower moments within the four intertwining stories that may or may not be a real haul to cross over, and it felt like because of that the more exciting parts of the story fell flat because they couldn’t entirely hold up the weight those slower scenes gave us. There were quite a lot of parts of the story that I enjoyed immensely, some more than others, but I felt as though the book needed a little more editing done as in it maybe needed to be condensed because this book was long…so so long, and I felt like it didn’t need to be.
