Publisher's summary

Rivalry, romance, and scandal run hot in this Wicked Wallflowers novel from USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell.

Regina (Reggie) Spark has loved Broderick Killoran, the resourceful and protective proprietor of the Devil’s Den, ever since he saved her from the streets and made her his right hand at the notorious gaming hell. For just as long, Reggie has never admitted her true feelings for him. Nor has she revealed her spirited ambitions - to buck convention and expectations and open a music hall.

While Broderick built his gaming empire with ruthless cunning, his loyalty to his employees is boundless. So when he learns of Reggie’s plan to leave his side and take charge of her own future, the betrayal cuts Broderick to the core. He responds as he would to any business rival…with swift retribution.

Instead of wilting, the savvy Reggie rebounds with a fury that shocks Broderick and stirs a desire he’s been holding in reserve for only ladies of nobility. But as their seductive battle of wills ignites under the harsh spotlight of the London Season, secrets are exposed as well - ones that could be ruinous in decent society but invaluable for the heart.

Another Gem from Christi Caldwell

I just finished this book, as I wipe a tear from my eye. The characters come alive on the page; in this case, listening to the voice of Tim Campbell, who brings the characters to life. Reggie and Broderick indeed need their own story. And it doesn’t disappoint!

Another winner from Christi Caldwell

I really like Christi Caldwell and her narrator, Tim Campbell. The Wicked Wallflowers follows The Sinful Brides in that it takes place in another Gaming Hell in "The Dials" of London. These characters are interesting and this entire 'world' of English nobility vs. the 'world' of the lower class "Hell" owners and their women is fascinating...plus, who doesn't love some hot romance!! Christi is judicious with her sexy interludes. This book is no different from many of her Historical Romances. It's all about the people and their stories. Tim Campbell has a glorious voice, just made to convey the 'sexy-rake' vibe. I am already thirsty for the next installment of this series...due May 7th!!...My calendar is already marked.

Unexpected

What an unexpected story. Broderick and Miss Steele, their story is so embroiled with past pain, misunderstandings and havoc you wonder how it will ever work out. Steven is definitely a little termagant.

SPOILER? I guess Gertrude’s book will be next, I hope

Great story

Reggie is one amazingly strong sexy woman. Broderick is one stubborn strong alpha man. Could not wait to see where the story went. Great ending.

Unique and well written. Satisfying read and ending.

This is a well paced, character driven story with plenty of action, well fleshed-out relationships and bad bad guys.

Completed in one story.

I love this type of story; the time and place it takes. It moves well and leaves you in tears at the end. I like the fact that the story does not care over to several books; however each person has their own.

The Governess is Amazing

I loved the audio version of the book. The entire story is fascinating with twists and turns. The antihero main character finds his love after many twists and turns. Tim Campbell is my favorite narrator. He does a great job on telling the story.

simply wonderful

the narration is excellent. the story superb, including much tension and romance. Somewhat sensual in places, but well done and pertinent to the plot and characters involved. Multidimensional characters that made me want to read stories about them. HEA.

One of her best books fo far

It only allows 5 stars for each
I would have given each 10 I definitely love her writing and as for Tim Campbell he is my number one narrator

The BEST in the series so far!

I've read & listened to so many of Chisti's novels and, of the ones I've read, I've enjoyed all but a few. This one was fantastic. And was that an Easter egg in Chapter 22?! Broderick is staring out of the window of the townhouse they're living in and spots a couple walking by... Anyone remember Daniel & Daphne Winterbourne? If you've read/listened to "To Redeem a Rake", you'll immediately know. That was a treat. I go through so many of Chisti's novels that I often don't have time to leave lengthy reviews but this one set itself a part. The entire series is really good but this has been my favorite. And of course, as I've said many times before, Tim Campbell & Christi Caldwell are an exceptional team.
Tim Campbell is the best narrator on the planet! What an incredible voice! And his singing! I could listen to him all day! He's just phenomenal.
