Story
When Sophie, the least interesting of the Talbot sisters, lands her philandering brother-in-law backside first in a goldfish pond in front of all society, she becomes the target of very public aristocratic scorn. Her only choice is to flee London, vowing to start a new life far from the aristocracy. Unfortunately, the carriage in which she stows away isn't saving her from ruin. It's filled with it.

Story
A decade ago, the Marquess of Bourne was cast from society with nothing but his title. Now a partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, the cold, ruthless Bourne will do whatever it takes to regain his inheritance - including marrying perfect, proper Lady Penelope Marbury. A broken engagement and years of disappointing courtships have left Penelope with little interest in a quiet, comfortable marriage, and a longing for something more. How lucky that her new husband has access to an unexplored world of pleasures.

A lady does not smoke cheroot. She does not ride astride. She does not fence or attend duels. She does not fire a pistol, and she never gambles at a gentlemen's club. Lady Calpurnia Hartwell has always followed the rules, rules that have left her unmarried - and more than a little unsatisfied. And so she's vowed to break the rules and live the life of pleasure she's been missing. But to dance every dance, to steal a midnight kiss - to do those things, Callie will need a willing partner. Someone who knows everything about rule-breaking. Someone like Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralston....

Narration detracted a lot for me. Listen to sample.
I like the idea of the new series with a change from the usual hero. Historical elements were interesting. Unfortunately, I found the narration so distracting and detracting that I will not buy another audio in this series.

Had high hopes. Stopped listening half-way through
I have enjoyed several of Sarah MacLean's other books, but found this one to be confusing and slow-moving. The heroine is supposedly a plain wallflower and a lady, who happens to know how to pick locks. No explanation of how she learned that skill. The hero is the bastard son of a duke who is a crime world under lord. I won't get into how these two come together because it was part of the confusion. One thing that really irked me is that he kept calling the heroine by her first and last name each time he addressed her. That got old real fast. The narrator was okay. I've heard her before so I think it was really the book itself. Overall, not worth the credit.

And she sucks me in again!!!
Why isn't Whit's story done yet Sarah?!?! Perhaps because this one only released a few days ago, but still! This is what I've been waiting for, the hard working non-aristocrat anti-hero love story! Devil and Felicity are perfect and the story drew me right in with both the characters and setting. Seriously though, I'll just be sitting here waiting for the next book.

Confusing list of characters to say the least!
I hate stories where I have to keep a list of characters with their relationship to each other at hand. The mark of a really good writer is that the characters can be easily remembered without a score sheet. Not this story. I don't run into this kind of confusion very often, but when I do, it kills the story.

Profanity-No Thanks!
I did not get through 30 minutes of this book. If I want profanity I will watch any movie on TV. I go to historical novels to be a part of that time period and escape the sadness of today's deteriorating language.

A new Sarah MacLean series--yay!
A new series from Ms. MacLean!
Wicked and the Wallflower is loosely connected to at least two other series of hers--the Fallen Angel from The Rules of Scoundrels is a customer of the Barenuckle Bastards, and Felicity was one of the failed suitesses of the Duke of Haven in The Day of the Duchess . If you haven't read all (or any) of those books, no worries, you'll manage--though perhaps the strangeness of what you'll hear about the plot of The Day of the Duchess might inspire you to pick that one up next. (DO IT. OMG, So. Good.)
This book of course has a lot of set-up for this series: we are introduced to the three (four) siblings (well, siblings-ish for the fourth) and find out some of their history, though there are quite a few gaps left in their backstory that will presumably be filled in as the series continues. I really did find that I wanted more of the gaps filled in here than we get--I have a feeling most of what I'm looking for won't be revealed until book three, which sadly doesn't even have a name yet (sigh)--but what we do learn gives Devil a suitably horrible childhood and helps show why he doesn't believe he'll ever be good enough for Felicity.
(Though that bit does get to be a bit much, honestly. She clearly wants you, dude, and doesn't care about your "darkness"--get over yourself, already.)
Still, this book gave me all the feels--I loved how Felicity managed to give as good as she got all book long, and watching Devil go from a moody guy who is bent on revenge to a man who finds love at last was just wonderful (as was watching his brother Whit mock him for it--just you wait, "Beast"). I can't believe we have to wait until next June(!) for the next book. Though maybe I'll use that as an excuse to re-read Duchess... ;)
Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A

Excellent Book
Sarah MacLean is a master of her craft and this book definitely does justice to her talent. I hate giving away plots and telling all in reviews, so I will simply say that if you are on the fence about this book, don't be. It's worth it.

Absolutely outstanding
I enjoyed Felicity and Devil's story because it had such a turn of the century feel. I reminded me of Sherlock Holmes. The bastards are great but the romance was the center peice of the story. Seeing thia couple meet and fall in love was wonderful. I cannot wait for the reat of the stories to be published. Until then, I will be reading her other series. Also, the author intherview at the end of the book was wonderful
i would love if more publishers addes that to the end of the book.

I like this author and this book was fun and different. Interesting plot. I can’t wait for the rest of the series to see what happens to the other characters and the plot twist I foresee coming for the perceived villain! I really enjoyed the interview with the author at the end!
