Devil in Winter (The Wallflowers #3) by Lisa Kleypas

"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.

5 out of 5 stars

Hands down, Devil in Winter is my favorite in The Wallflowers series. A marriage of convenience and a redemption story? Perfection! The journey and growth that Sebastian and Evie go through was amazing. I hung on every word right from the start. An absolutely brilliant story!

Be still my heart, Sebastian St. Vincent was an outstanding character. I loved him! Since first meeting him I was intrigued and I loved seeing his depth, watching him grow, seeing his true character hidden behind that gruff attitude. He kept doing all these small, sweet, wonderful things that made me melt. And Evie, dear sweet Evie. I knew I was going to see change in her but had no idea just how much. She was such a strong, determined force and I loved that strength. I loved watching that strength grow and build throughout the story, it was phenomenal. Together Sebastian and Evie were fantastic! How they played off each other and all the wonderful dialogue, I couldn't get enough.

I loved seeing the wallflowers and their men, getting updates on them and their take on everything that was going on with Sebastian and Evie. I loved the drama and the element of mystery that was woven into the story. It made it even more exciting to read. I loved meeting new characters and seeing new relationships. I really like how this book was set apart from the previous two books in a different environment, it felt fresh and exciting.

Lisa Kleypas is officially one of my favorite historical romance authors. She has this way of making me feel like I’m invited into the stories and the characters lives. The words, the build, the descriptions, were wonderful. I truly loved this! It just filled my heart up and left me feeling extremely happy!
