USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell's Wicked Wallflowers series burns hot as two rivals meet in the flesh and feel the heat...
Adair Thorne has just watched his gaming-hell dream disappear into a blaze of fire and ash, and he's certain that his competitors, the Killorans, are behind it. His fury and passion burn even hotter when he meets Cleopatra Killoran, a tart-mouthed vixen who mocks him at every turn. If she were anyone else but the enemy, she'd ignite a desire in him that would be impossible to control.
No one can make Cleopatra do anything. That said, she'll do whatever it takes to protect her siblings--even if that means being sponsored by their rivals for a season in order to land a noble husband. But she will not allow her head to be turned by the infuriating and darkly handsome Adair Thorne.
There's only one thing that threatens the rules of the game: Cleopatra's secret. It could unravel the families' tenuous truce and shatter the unpredictably sinful romance mounting between the hellion...and a scoundrel who could pass for the devil himself.
The Hellion is book one in the Wicked Wallflowers Series by Christi Caldwell. If you are trying to start reading Caldwell’s books with this one, you will feel lost. First go back and read The Sinful Bride’s series beginning with The Rogue’s Wager. You won’t regret it. Then once you have read that series, begin the Wicked Wallflowers. That will put the stories in their proper order.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Although Cleopatra Killoran didn’t start out being my favorite heroine, I soon found myself warming up to her. Both the hero and heroine are rough around the edges to say the least. I grew to love Adair Thorne and his loyalty. There are some steamy scenes in this book.
“He glanced up from his task, and that slight movement sent a dark lock tumbling over his brow, lending him a boyish look. ‘Cleopatra Killoran, I’d wager there isn’t a thing you don’t know how to do.’ And just like that, Cleopatra fell in love. Hopelessly, helplessly, she lost her heart to Adair Thorne.’ I can’t wait to read the next book in the Wicked Wallflowers series.
