Synopsis (Goodreads):
When Wicked Comes Calling...Thoughts on Wicked and the Wallflower: Oh, good gravy. Felicity and her Devil were FANTASTIC. I can't even pinpoint where I fell for them. They were just...just...right for one another. Which made the fact Devil was planning on betraying her all the more heartbreaking. Good thing Felicity wasn't a normal lady with normal pastimes.
When a mysterious stranger finds his way into her bedchamber and offers his help in landing a duke, Lady Felicity Faircloth agrees—on one condition. She's seen enough of the world to believe in passion, and won't accept a marriage without it.
The Wallflower Makes a Dangerous Bargain...
Bastard son of a duke and king of London's dark streets, Devil has spent a lifetime wielding power and seizing opportunity, and the spinster wallflower is everything he needs to exact a revenge years in the making. All he must do is turn the plain little mouse into an irresistible temptress, set his trap, and destroy his enemy.
For the Promise of Passion...
But there's nothing plain about Felicity Faircloth, who quickly decides she'd rather have Devil than another. Soon, Devil's carefully laid plans are in chaos, and he must choose between everything he's ever wanted...and the only thing he's ever desired.
You know, because her lock picking abilities gave her focus and determination. And she wasn't going to let one ridiculous man who'd locked himself up tighter than a smuggler's hold get away from her. By the by, the fact Felicity could pick a lock as good as Devil or any of his men just made me adore her madly. I like women who defy societal expectations. Especially when it involves something as scandalous as picking locks and finding their way into places they're not supposed to be.
Devil had his share of defying going on, too. He'd built an empire with his brother out of nothing. He kept the peace in a lawless section of town (you know, by cracking skulls when it was needed) and he had made a vow he was determined to see through. Even if it meant hurting someone completely innocent in the process.
Then Felicity happened and suddenly Devil's life was a whole lot more complicated.
I'm loving the brothers (well, two of the brothers, at least) and their feisty sister. I ADORED watching Devil fall for Felicity and her wily ways. I can't wait to see Beast get snared by his special someone.
