Editorial Review: Product Description: A devil's bargain Easily the shyest Wallflower, Evangeline Jenner stands to become the wealthiest, once her inheritance comes due. Because she must first escape the clutches of her unscrupulous relatives, Evie has approached the rake Viscount St. Vincent with a most outrageous proposition: marriage! Sebastian's reputation is so dangerous that thirty seconds alone with him will ruin any maiden's good name. Still, this bewitching chit appeared, unchaperoned, on his doorstep to offer her hand. Certainly an aristocrat with a fine eye for beauty could do far worse. But Evie's proposal comes with a condition: no lovemaking after their wedding night. She will never become just another of the dashing libertine's callously discarded broken hearts -- which means Sebastian will simply have to work harder at his seductions...or perhaps surrender his own heart for the very first time in the name of true love.

 Rating:  - I didn't think Lisa Kleypas could redeem Sebastian, but she did!Devil in Winter is the third book in Lisa Kleypas' Wallflower series. This truly was an enjoyable tale, and I recommend reading them in order. Had I not, I would not have appreciated so many things that happened in the other books. I kept thinking in the back of my head how can Sebastian redeem himself. Evie visits Sebastian with a marriage solution that will benefit both of them. Evie, for protection and Sebastian, for money. What comes from that solution is a marriage that becomes real. Where they ... Read More Rating: - Beautiful romanceThis is one of the loveliest historical romances I've ever read. Sebastian is a darling. Indolent, witty and an amoral rake, he constantly surprises himself by his feelings for Evie and his efforts on her behalf. From the beginning he protects and takes care of her. He never mocks her stutters or social clumsiness. The scene where he asks her what it will take for him to get back into her bed is awww-worthy. Evie is a worthy heroine. Spirited but not foot-stampingly annoying, stubborn but ... Read More Rating: - Everything a novel should beThis is the first Lisa Kleypas book I've read and it definitely will not be the last. I cannot think of a single complaint other than I did not want the book to end. I am an English major from UCLA and I used to turn my nose up at ROMANCE books as formula tripe like a "B" movie to be avoided at all costs. Have I been wrong for forever!??!! I am so glad I picked up this book when I was stuck with a long wait. It has everything a grown up woman wants in a book. A real heroine with heart, brains, guts, ... Read More Rating: - Perfected!This is book 3 of the Wallflower series and if you have not read the first two, you certainly should begin with Secrets of a Summer Night (The Wallflowers, Book 1). Each and every one of Kleypas' books stand alone. However, you will enjoy each much more if you've read the prior and become well acquainted with the characters. Kleypas' absolute gift is taking an unlikely hero or storyline and taking you to a place that you could never have imagined. The subtle journey is a wonder. Sebastian ... Read More Rating:  - tepidI was really looking forward to this book. From the reviews I thought it was going to be the best in the series. I really didn't like it very much at all. It was so dark and bleary. Most of the book took place in a gaming club. Yuck. I missed the light airy feel to the two previous books. I thought Evie, after surviving her controlling and cruel family, deserved somthing a little more flowery and romantic. I also really missed the interaction between the other wallflowers. They really weren't present ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
