Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Lisa Kleypas returns with an enthralling and steaming romance between a Scot with a mysterious past and strong-willed lady looking for adventure - and love.

“The devil never tries to make people do the wrong thing by scaring them. He does it by tempting them.”

Lady Merritt Sterling, a strong-willed young widow who’s running her late husband’s shipping company, knows London society is dying to catch her in a scandal. So far, she’s been too smart to provide them with one. But then she meets Keir MacRae, a rough-and-rugged Scottish whisky distiller, and all her sensible plans vanish like smoke. They couldn’t be more different, but their attraction is powerful, raw, and irresistible.

From the moment Keir MacRae arrives in London, he has two goals. One: Don’t fall in love with the dazzling Lady Merritt Sterling. Two: Avoid being killed.

So far, neither of those is going well.

Keir doesn’t know why someone wants him dead until fate reveals the secret of his mysterious past. His world is thrown into upheaval, and the only one he trusts is Merritt.

Their passion blazes with an intensity Merritt has never known before, making her long for the one thing she can’t have from Keir MacRae: forever. As danger draws closer, she’ll do whatever it takes to save the man she loves...even knowing he might be the devil in disguise.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time

But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Lovely as usual...

I listened to this book the day it was released. I don’t normally write reviews but the over the top negative review below compels me to. If you like Lisa Kleypas books, you will like this one as well. I have read all of Lisa’s historical romances and I’ve enjoyed them all. This one does not differ greatly as the negative review stated. Oh and if you loved The Devil in Winter as I did, you will love all the scenes with Sebastian and Evie. I will also add Mary Jane Wells does an incredible job as always. Lisa and Mary are a wonderful combo. Enjoy

Fantastic Addition to the series

Devil In Disguise by Lisa Kleypas
Narrated by Mary Jane Wells
Series: The Ravenels Book 7 
Ravenels Meet The Wallflowers Book 3

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this series and this addition was wonderful! Watching the characters intertwine with the ones from all the previous books I have enjoyed just makes it feel like being amongst family. 

Mary Jane Wells is fantastic at her narrations and seeing her name on this project made it even easier to pre-order this book. 

Merritt and Keir are a perfect match and right away you feel the chemistry between them. There is a decent plot which, even though it was guessable, didn't detract from the enjoyment one bit! I would highly recommend this book and honestly the entire series starting with the original Wallflowers if you're up for the challenge!  

I sincerely hope there are more to come for this series.

A Must for fans of the Ravenells and the Wallflowers!

I have read most of this authors books and am a fan of the Ravenell series. While I have seen some reviews who are unhappy with the use of the Wallflower characters as parents; I LOVE it. Sebastian and Evie were my favorite characters of that series so I will never complain about learning more about them and their family!

I really enjoyed these two main characters and the story. My only complaint is that the ending seemed a little abrupt. Please continue to give me stories of the Duke of Kingston’s children and the Ravenells.

Very enjoyable! More Wallflowers than Ravenels.

Many beloved characters from the Wallflowers appeared in this one, which was very enjoyable. There were a few from The Ravenel's, but not the ones you would expect. It was a really fun read (or listen in my case). There was romance, humor and some mystery too.

I hope we get more books with characters from both the Wallflowers and the Ravenel's. What would be really fun if characters from the Hathways were to be included as well. A romance between one of the Wallflower's children and one of the Hathway's children perhaps?

If you haven't read The Hathway's series I highly recommend it. I recently discovered it, and didn't realize it was a spinoff of the Wallflowers. (It's post Wallflowers and pre Ravenels.) The first book had interactions with the Wallflowers characters. The following didn't, but the Hathway characters were also a lot of fun. So if you need a Wallflower's /Ravenel's world fix it's the series for you.

The story was entertaining with both romance and mystery.

I liked the dynamics between the two lead characters. I also enjoyed the mystery plot of someone out to murder him & the strong woman lead who was daring and willing to go to lengths to protect him.

Every Aspect is Perfection

Mary Jane Wells is the absolute queen of narrators'. She can perform several different character voices with distinction. She complements Lisa Kleypas' words well. I enjoy her plots, the lightness and wry humor in short I loved it!

Good story

Don't pay no mind to the whiners, that lie. Sex on the beach, let's goooooo! BS about the family being in view. These are escapades wrapped up in historical drama. If you can't handle the mention of a "peen" then run away! Five starts for steamy. Great romp!
