From the New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas comes the next title in the beloved romance series The Wallflowers - perfect for fans of Sarah MacLean, Julia Quinn and Eloisa James.

'Lisa Kleypas is the best' Sarah MacLean


The Wallflowers: four young ladies enter London society and band together to each find a husband. Has the third 'Wallflower' now met her match?

'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 . . .

'Kleypas can make you laugh and cry - on the same page' Julia Quinn

TEN STARS...because I can.

A re-read of one of my favourite books is something I will always enjoy. Now that I'm a fan of audiobooks, it has become even more enthralling. I'm experiencing the book through another's eyes. If the narrator is good, they can portray the highs and lows exactly the right way. Rosalyn Landor has become my favourite narrator in historical romances. Her voice is soothing, her ability to change characters is seamless and accents seem no obstacle. I am carried away while listening to the story and she makes me see things I miss when reading.

Devil in Winter is one of the BEST stories I've ever read/listened to. The metamorphosis of both Evie and Sebastian is remarkable. Normally, we may be treated to a wallflower turning into a butterfly or a rake turning into a dutiful and loving husband, but in this case, we get both. I loved seeing them grow and become better people.

It was a five-star read and it's a five-star listen, so I'm giving it a 10-star rating...because I can.
