Devil in Winter (Wallflowers, #3)

This 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 not stupid, she deserves such a great hero. She's a virgin but refreshingly not frightened of sex. Only fear of having her heart broken keeps her from sleeping with Sebastian after their wedding night. This is one of the story's main conflicts and a realistic one, given Sebastian's acknowledged rakishness. Practically she proposes a 3 month period of celibacy for Sebastian to prove himself. Can Sebastian last the 3 months?
The sex scenes are not many but are very sensuous and full of feeling. The sexual tension throughout is superb. Both hero and heroine grow and their HEA is richly deserved. I love this romance!

I love that book as well Agent Scully and plan to re-read it soon, as I've missed reading the first and last of the series so far. Sebastian and Evie are both great characters and, though I usually don't care for sweet heroes, he's one of the best ever!

Awesome review, Scully. I don't know how I missed this one.
The scene where he asks her what it will take for him to get back into her bed is awww-worthy.It most definitely is! I loved this book. Sebastian and Evie are my favorite historical couple. :)
This was a fabulous review! "Devil in Winter" with Evie and Sebastian is one of my favorite romance books. I so glad you loved it as much as I do!
Thanks girls! I *heart* Sebastian :-)
Can't help but love Sebastien :) Evie really came into her own in this book compared to the previous one.
Great review!! I loved both characters in this one and plan a re-read soon.
I guess we're all St. Vinnie's Ninnies like Dina or Beanbag coined. I'm proud to be one. Sebastian puts a goofy smile on my face. :)
LOL, it was Beanbag who coined that term, but I'm proud to be one too. :)
Thanks, Dina. I couldn't remember which one of you did, since you're both very witty.
Great review! Another proud member of St. Vinnie's Ninnies! I love how resistant he is to the idea of being in love even as his actions say differently moment to moment. Another rake who just needs a hug.
I love those hug-deficient rakes. :)
