Overview

For a quiet girl from the Cotswolds, the smoke-filled streets of 1920s Birmingham is a foreign world of soot, secrets, and sharp edges. Elisabeth Montgomery is thrust into a life she doesn't understand, with a family that's falling apart at the seams. Naive and innocent, Lizzie's never known the thrill-or the risk-of a man's touch. Until she meets James MacGuire. A brooding former Irish gangster with a past drenched in blood and whiskey. James is everything Lizzie should avoid, yet one smouldering encounter ignites a fire she can't extinguish. He's dangerous, intoxicating... and hiding dark truths that could shatter them both. As long-buried secrets rise to the surface and enemies close in, James must confront his past. But redemption comes at a cost-and Lizzie's heart might be the price. Will love be enough, or will the truth destroy their only chance at a future?

4.25⭐️ Peaky Blinders for the ladies If you want a Gatsby-eque, peaky blinders adjacent, historical romance then you really do not have to look any further. For a debut novel, this really surprised me in the best way! There is no element lost in this story. The characters have backstories and growth. The plot has interest and intrigue. The romance is complex and the vibes are there. I can't wait to see what more Whitney puts out into the world. ️ ️.5 - Che.ysbookshelf 5⭐️ The gangster love story of your dreams! This book is an absolute gem-set against the gritty backdrop of Birmingham's gangsta world, it manages to be fun, dark, and unexpectedly sweet all at once. The atmosphere is vivid, the time period clear and authentic, yet written with selective, beautifully placed language that makes it so easy to read and completely immersive. The dual perspective adds a depth to both the story and its characters. You're not just reading their journey, you're living it alongside them, feeling the pulse of the city, the danger of their world, and the intensity of their love. It's an epic love story that grips you from the very first page. Thrilling, emotional, and absolutely unputdownable. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves romance with real grit, heart, and atmosphere. - Tammi 5⭐️ WOW!! Grab a bottle of whiskey and find a comfy chair, because you're going to devour ""Love & Knives""in one sitting. This sexy drama is richly written and satisfying (see what I did there?) You'll be pulled into the 1920s and you won't be able to tear yourself away until you know the fate of the characters. And long after the last page, they'll stay with you. - Joy
