Devil in Winter

The Wallflowers, Book 3

By: Lisa Kleypas

Narrated by: Mary Jane Wells

""I'm Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent. I can't be celibate. Everyone knows that.""

Desperate to escape her scheming relatives, Evangeline Jenner has sought the help of the most infamous scoundrel in London.

A marriage of convenience is the only solution.

No one would have ever paired the shy, stammering wallflower with the sinfully handsome viscount. It quickly becomes clear, however, that Evie is a woman of hidden strength—and Sebastian desires her more than any woman he's ever known.

Determined to win her husband's elusive heart, Evie dares to strike a bargain with the devil: If Sebastian can stay celibate for three months, she will allow him into her bed.

When Evie is threatened by a vengeful enemy from the past, Sebastian vows to do whatever it takes to protect his wife . . . even at the expense of his own life.

Together they will defy their perilous fate, for the sake of all-consuming love.

Love Evie and Sebastian

Evie and Sebastian are one of my favorite Kleypas couples. Mary Jane Wells does a terrific job fleshing them out.

Pure Enjoyment

I really enjoyed this book. The narrator made it so much fun to listen to. She make the hero sound like Shere Khan lol. Very good storyline had me on the edge of my seat.

My favorite of the series

I think North Saint Vincent is one of my favorite characters of all times. The way Mary Jane Wells read him is so perfect. This is my third time through I think, and I’ll probably do it again when I need a good retreat.

Made Me Happy

I don't usually make a big deal about the narrators, good or bad. However, I FELT like this one did the two main characters perfectly. Every tone and nuance felt like how I would expect them to be speaking and acting within the story, and it definitely added to my enjoyment

The story itself is lovely. I'm a sucker for the bad boy being kind to, and eventually falling for, the "quiet" girl. However, this quiet girl is not a pushover, and I like the courage she shows within the relationship. I feel the reforming of the rake is done well.

I know that this is a book I will enjoy listening to again in the future.

Sweet story

I love books about wallflowers and the rakes that reform for them.

In this Sebastian falls for his wife, Evie without even realizing he’s done it. And it happens pretty quickly, again, before he even realizes it.

Evie’s father owns a gaming house and when he dies Sebastian never leaves like he originally planned, in fact he throws himself into the business much to Evie’s surprise.

They both learn a lot about themselves but most of all they learn to let someone else in.
