Book Description:
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.

One of Kleypas' best, in my opinion. Definitely the best in this particular series. A very touching, sexy, and credible story of two people who should be completely wrong for each other, yet somehow manage to prove that opposites really do attract - and for very good reason.

This was a very good book. Romantic and witty, with great chemistry between the characters. I highly reccomend it to anyone who loves historical romance.

Devil in Winter is the third book in Lisa Kleypas' Wallflower series. This truly was an enjoyable tale, and I recommend reading them in order. Had I not, I would not have appreciated so many things that happened in the other books. I kept thinking in the back of my head how can Sebastian redeem himself. Evie visits Sebastian with a marriage solution that will benefit both of them. Evie, for protection and Sebastian, for money. What comes from that solution is a marriage that becomes real. Where they each quit being what others think them to be, and they turn into what they WANT to be. Sebastian is BAD, REAL BAD, and he doesn't care, but it's a front, and Evie knows it. Sebastian sees that there's more to Evie than her stammers and shyness, but she is a treasure- rich as a sweet and soothing lady. There was a bunch of symbolism (Jenner's Club) that occurs with this book, and the little actions that Evie and Sebastian take. You watch them fall in love, and enjoyable to see Sebastian be brought to his knees.
This is a memorable book, it's very emotional. If you haven't visited this series… You many want to think about it!

I was pleasently suprised with this book. I picked it up at a bargain book sale, even though I was unfamaliar with the author. I really enjoyed it, and have picked up more of her books since. The hero, Sebastion, is very yummy. You'll be happy you read this book.

Good book! I enjoyed seeing Evie go from shy, stuttering wallflower, to a woman in her own right.

This book is number 3 in a series, so it is slightly important to read the first two, it will help this book make more sense. The book read excellently; it flowed from one event to another and left very little unfinished. Lisa Kleypas writes beautifully and artfully. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who reads this genre of book.

The Wallflowers have struck again. Very entertaining story about the lives and loves of the "Wallflowers" and how they find love where they don't expect it.

This is my least favorite book in the Wallfower series. The hero is horrible and crude, and my opinion never changed, even at the end of the novel.

This book was so fun and very sexy. I really enjoyed reading it.

Wealthy Evie Jenner shows up unchaperoned on Viscount St. Vincent's doorstep with an outrageous proposal. If he will marry her and protect her from her unscrupulous family, Sebastian can pay off his family's debts with her inheritance. But the proposal comes with a condition...no lovemaking after their wedding night. Evie doesn't want to be just another one of Sebastian's discarded women. This just means Sebastian will have to work harder at his seductions...or surrender his own heart for the very first time.

Excellent story. Two opposites enter a marriage of convenience and find out they are just what the other person needs. I highly recommend.

Evangeline Jenner went to Sabastion St Vincent to ask him to marry her to get away from her family. I don't think I've read the first 2 books in the series. I plan to read the 4th amd final im the series.
