"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.

From the Back Cover

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. --This text refers to the preloaded_digital_audio_player edition.

Lord Sebastian St. Vincent agrees to elope with Evangeline Jenner, daughter of a night club owner. He does it to get her diary as he is on the brink of financial ruin. She does it to get away from abusive relatives who want her dowry. From there the story takes off as their wedding journey is described. When they come back, they start living at the club and St.Vincent takes over its management. Together they deal with Evie's father's death, the abusive relatives, an assassin out to murder Evie, St. Vincent's brush with death etc etc. to finally achieve their HEA. In between there is also the bet that Evie places on her husband that he will remain celibate for 3 months before she sleeps with him.
A fun, enjoyable read. The hero is not too soppy and drooling over the heroine. There is a romantic sub-plot that I think has been covered in a separate novel and I am going to find it and read it.
I would recommend this, definitely!

My top favourite book since the past two years!

Sebastian ........................ You Are My Favourite Hero

Eva....................You Are My Favorite Heroine ( protagonist)
I am speechless, when I love a book too much then I lose words but I will try.

Lisa Kleypas .............. Ma'am, if feelings could be expressed in words, I'd give you words, if they were expressed in essays, I'd write those , if they were expressed in novels, I'd give you one. You are the best author who writes best classical/historical and modern romance. Your stories just take us into a different world ( I personally don't want to come out of that world).

It is a very good and fictional book. Every one should read it. The binding (paper back) is awesome. And the author of the book is New York Times best selling author. Anyone can observe historic romance in this book.

entertaining and lively

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 15 July 2018

This is the 3rd in a series, I haven't read any of the others, but hey, I like to live dangerously. The blurb on this was so beguiling and the others in the series not so much so I just jumped right in.

I was reliably informed that the male lead in this was the 'very nasty baddie' in the previous book, some reviewers get a bit hot under the collar about this, as if evil fictional characters should endure eternal torment at the end of their story to prove some moral point. I did read that book, so I don't care, and I am very glad about that, because I loved this book.

So, Evie was a bit of a no hoper in the regency marriage mart, a shy stutterer she failed to catch the eye of any of the eligible young gentlemen of the ton. When it begins to look like she will soon inherit a vast fortune her unscrupulous relatives look set to marry her to an odious cousin (he is very odious – I hope he is the hero of the next book). She looks for help from the most unlikely place. The viscount st. Vincent (great name) is a greedy, self-centred, arrogant seducer, but he is desperate for cash and she can make him an offer that he wont refuse.

This is an entertaining and lively story that kept me hooked 'till the end. True, there are plenty of plot points here that you can find in every other 'modern regency' romance that has ever been written, but it does still manage to have a freshness too it. It works well as a stand alone.

Read the series in order - but this is a favourite

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 September 2014

Verified Purchase

This has to be one of my favourite historical romances - I am just rereading the series. What I love about this book is that the main characters come to the story without any expectations of themselves or each other. Until the wedding, you see them comfortable with each other because of their situation - in fact Sebastian states that he has never been referred to as 'comfortable' - but they have chosen a path which they both need, in fact are desperate for. Thereafter, the relationship is strained while Evie, quite understandably, but without any expectation of love, keeps Sebastian at arm's length rather than become another notch on his bedpost.

Sebastian's discovery that he has unwittingly found an occupation that he both wants and is good at is so uplifting, while Evie, away from her ghastly relations, steps out of her shy and retiring nature, enough to give Sebastian a run for his money.

Their gradual and moving affection for each other is endearing, and in the next book in the series, Evie tells one of her friends the exact moment she knew she was in love with Sebastian - when you know the circumstances, it is clear that she also knew he loved her at that same moment. Thereafter, she accepted her own feelings while having to convince Sebastian to deal with his feelings for her.

A lot of romances have sex scenes which are pretty much unnecessary to the plot - in this book, they are done so well, and are entirely pertinent to the developing relationship; good heavens, the 'virtual' pages were steaming!!

Super, super book, which I shall read again and again. If there was one tiny jarring note, it was the writing about the time spent between Daisy and Cam. I don't know whether they were originally to be paired, before the Hathaways came into being, but since the next book is about Daisy [without Cam] perhaps the author just wanted to keep us wondering!

FANTASTIC - A MUST READ

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 January 2013

Verified Purchase

A lovely storyline, I was hooked from the moment I started reading the first page. The story flowed from start to finish. It has romance, intrigue, mystery and it is well worth a read.

Lord St. Vincent is portrayed in the last book as a handsome, charming, rake, someone not caring of womens feelings. To him women were to be used and then discared. That is of course, until he met Evie. Evie was a very shy, timid girl who has been abused by her Aunts and Uncles but it seems she has a backbone that shows itself in this storyline.

I finished reading Devil in Winter this morning and I am so glad that I read it. I have read book 1 and book 2 of the Wallflower series and although I enjoyed them, this one seems to have that Wow factor. In Book 2, St Vincent kidnapped Lilian with the intention of marrying her against her will to secure her inheritance and I was wondering how he was going to redeem himself in his own book.
Evie, one of the wallflowers, lives with her mother's family. Her father is dying and she will inherit his fortune on his death. The aunts and uncles are trying to force her to marry one of her cousins so that they can get thier hands on her inheritance. Out of sheer desparation, Evie visits Lord St. Vincent late one night with a proposal...that if he marries her then he can have her inheritance. St Vincent is broke and he accepts her offer. They elope to Gretna Green where they are married. On their return, they visit the Club that Evie's father owns and finds that he does not have much longer to live. St Vincent looks over the club and realises that something could be done to make the club a success.
I love the fact that Evie comes to accept all of St. Vincent's past mis-deeds and is willing to "take him on". It was obvious that all his past adventures with women affected him more than he realises...they wanted him for his looks and charm but weren't prepared to go deeper. No wonder he hid his feelings and it took someone like Evie to bring them to the surface. It was so Poignant when Evie said that she wouldn't have minded if St Vincent lost his looks, she wanted him for who he was not for his surface veneer. I think he couldn't quite believe what she was saying and it took him awhile to accept it. St Vincent was so caring and protective of Evie, and although he didn't realise it at first, his feelings grew and he didn't know how to cope with them. But with Evie's love and help he finally came to terms with his emmotions. With Evie by his side, Lord St Vincent becomes a changed man.

Almost perfect !

I really enjoyed reading this book ! It kept me hooked from the very beginning. The love story between a wicked rake and a shy wallflower indeed hold my attention so I couldn’t stop reading this book. Unfortunately our hero had a few attitudes toward our heroine that rubbed me the wrong way. Sadly, it turned out I lost my enthusiasm considerably. However, this is still a good book and considered a classic by so many therefore it is worth reading anyway.

Love, Love, Love these two!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 July 2017

Evie Jenner was always the most passive of the Wallflowers, beaten down by her nasty relatives she appeared to be a very sweet mouse of a woman in the first two books….So Kleypas' decision to pair her with Sebastian St Vincent - the man who tried to kidnap Lillian in the previous book, and is a very bad man indeed - is of course inspired… Even better it's Evie - who insists on their marriage, with one dastardly condition, no love-making after the wedding night… Unfortunately for her there is nothing Sebastian likes more than a challenge! Especially when he has a reputation as a great lover to protect, but he can't even entice his own wife. Devouring this series at breakneck speed… Love, love, love these two.
