I also loved the way that she gradually became more confident in herself with Sebastian's help. A lot of the time when a determined rake has been reformed we only see that in the relationship with the heroine but in this case we saw that Sebastian was able to rebuild relationships with others in his life as well.Īs for Evie, I thought it was fantastic when she forced Sebastian to lose his bet - so playful and sensuous.poor man never stood a chance. I was glad when peace was made between Westcliff and Sebastian. Lilian isn't my favourite of the Wallflowers but I did like the fact that despite the fact that she hated Sebastian, she was there for Evie when she needed her. I loved him, and loved the progression that we saw in this book - from desperate jaded rake, to attentive travelling companion, to determined businessman, to celibate man, to devoted husband, and along the way he even managed to be apologetic to Westcliff and Lilian. With Evie being almost kidnapped by her horrible family, Sebastian taking a bullet for her, and then Evie nearly being murdered in the climax, there were times when the focus on Evie and Sebastian was lost. Evie and Sebastian were put through the ringer in this book, and not in the interactions with each other.mainly from outside sources. The main thing I didn't like was the suspense subplot which led to the climax to the book. 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.Īfter putting my name down on the list at the library months ago, I FINALLY got Devil in Winter a couple of days, and yesterday I read it in one go!

I'm sure that everyone has read at least 3 reviews by now so I am going to keep it brief and just talk about what I did and didn't like.yes, there was something I didn't like and I'll start with that. Certainly an aristocrat with a fine eye for beauty could do far worse.īut Evie's proposal comes with a condition: no lovemaking after their wedding night. Still, this bewitching chit appeared, unchaperoned, on his doorstep to offer her hand. Sebastian's reputation is so dangerous that thirty seconds alone with him will ruin any maiden's good name.
