Well...I was really anxious to read this one because in the last book of Karen Marie Moning we get to know that something happened to Dageus, Drustan's twin. Now the mystery is solved...Dageus used the Druid's power to save his brother's life...but because of the power he used his body was "invaded" by the spirits of dark ancient druids who had once been banished of the planet. In spite of this, Dageus is still alive. As the darker spirits try to take advantage of him to gain a "body" he is tries to find a cure to send them back to where they were in the beggining...

Synopsis:

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.


This is book three in the Wallflower's Quartet...Well, after reading the previous book I couln't wait t read the story of Evie, the shy woman of the four Wallflower Quartet friends and the fabulously handsome and rakish Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent. Who could guess that Evie had the courage to ask him to marry her? she only wanted him to protect her from her relatives who didn't want her see her father and she end up falling in love for him...But to Sebastian this was a different thing too...he never expected to fell in love for real...Lovely! Highly Recommended!!

Synopsis:

Four young ladies enter London society with one necessary goal: they must use their feminine wit and wiles to find a husband. So they band together, and a daring husband-hunting scheme is born.

It Happened at the Ball...

Where beautiful but bold Lillian Bowman quickly learned that her independent American ways weren't entirely "the thing." And the most disapproving of all was insufferable, snobbish, and impossible Marcus, Lord Westcliff, London's most eligible aristocrat.

It Happened in the Garden…

When Marcus shockingly -- and dangerously-swept her into his arms. Lillian was overcome with a consuming passion for a man she didn't even like. Time stood still; it was as if no one else existed…thank goodness they weren't caught very nearly in the act!

It Happened One Autumn...

Marcus was a man in charge of his own emotions, a bedrock of stability. But with Lillian, every touch was exquisite torture, every kiss an enticement for more. Yet how could he consider taking a woman so blatantly unsuitable…as his bride?

This is book number two in the Wallflowers Quartet and it's the first one that I read...It's very beautiful to see two people that hated each other so much ever since they met fall in love... To Marcus, she was the most unsuitable woman that he had as a guest in his house -- To Lillian, he was the most arrongant man she had ever met...until they end up in the arms of one another...and Lillian thought it was because of her new perfume...

Devon St. James must surely be dreaming! She closes her eyes in London's poorest slum, and awakens wrapped in fine linens . . . staring into the eyes of the most gorgeous man she has ever seen! Sebastian Sterling, marquess of Thurston, is clearly shocked to have a girl from the streets in his bed, though the heat of the desire burning in his gaze is unmistakable. But if he believes Devon will easily submit, he is quite mistaken!

What the devil has he done? It's bad enough their family is already mired in scandal, now Sebastian has to deal with the exquisite young beauty in rags he had impetuously carried into his home! Worse still, the lady is driving the serious, responsible marquess to distraction with her fiery spirit and breathtaking sensuality.

A Perfect Bride



This book has a very sweet story...It is about a woman who lives and works on the wrong side of the city and the man she meets when someone tries to kill her...It was very funny to see how their relationship grows, I t will make you laugh. This was the first book I read from this author and I simply loved it :) The characthers are very charming and the whole story is delightful...
