Before I get to "Devil in Winter" I have to say I am terribly biased. I LOVE Lisa Kleypas and will read anything by her, and I mean anything. Traditionally I prefer paranormal and historical romances, versus contemporary, but Kleypas has proven time and time again that no matter what genre she writes under it will have a really good chance at being my next favorite. I found "Devil in Winter" about two years ago and have probably read it about 150 times.
"Devil in Winter" is the 2nd installment of the "Wallflowers" series, but it is a great stand-alone and you don't have to read the previous ones to enjoy the book. The story is about Evangeline Jenner, a shy red-headed heiress and Viscount Sebastian St. Vincent, a jaded rake. In an attempt to save herself from her abusive guardians, Evangeline purposes marriage to the equally desperate Sebastian, who agrees. I love how shy Evie blooms into a strong-minded woman who has the womanizer wrapped around her finger. Sebastian is a narcissistic jerk for most of the book. Which of course makes his inevitable fall into monogamy all the sweeter.
This is an amazing book and one you have to finish in one sitting. Simply because you can't put it down.
