Summary

USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell’s Wicked Wallflowers series burns hot as two rivals meet in the flesh and feel the heat...

Adair Thorne has just watched his gaming-hell dream disappear into a blaze of fire and ash, and he’s certain that his competitors, the Killorans, are behind it. His fury and passion burn even hotter when he meets Cleopatra Killoran, a tart-mouthed vixen who mocks him at every turn. If she were anyone else but the enemy, she’d ignite a desire in him that would be impossible to control.

No one can make Cleopatra do anything. That said, she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her siblings—even if that means being sponsored by their rivals for a season in order to land a noble husband. But she will not allow her head to be turned by the infuriating and darkly handsome Adair Thorne.

There’s only one thing that threatens the rules of the game: Cleopatra’s secret. It could unravel the families’ tenuous truce and shatter the unpredictably sinful romance mounting between the hellion…and a scoundrel who could pass for the devil himself.

“Christi Caldwell writes a gorgeous book!” (Sarah MacLean, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author)

Oops Wicked Wallflowers!

Read Lost Lords of London trilogy and loved them. Thought I'd found a new author to add to my library but apparently not. More or less same story but less posh.

Surreal, not possible in time set.

I love Americans' fantasy of English high class tolerance. It took years for the BBC to allow news readers with regional accents. Even if the Gentry accepted a gutter snipes, their sevants definitely wouldn't. Mushrooms and Nabobs, were just about acceptable, anything else was not condoned.
Once again an Author builds up the two families as being equal rivals, yet the heroine runs rings around the hero and his family. I am a true supporter of women's rights and equality, but this is unbelievable and stupid, especially for the time it is set in.
Even servants are expected to speak with a true English accent, yet the heroine is expected to enter the "TON", no manners, no upbringing, no education, wearing specticals and "common as muck". The "Lord" would have to be really desperate to marry her as he would be rejected by the rest of society.
It isn't realistic and very irritating in the childish behaviour of the Heroine. The Hero is a wash-out, just background noise.
I fell sorry for the narrator, as he is good, with rubbish material.
