When Wicked Comes Calling... When a mysterious stranger finds his way into her bedchamber and offers his help in landing a duke, Lady Felicity Faircloth agrees -- on one condition. She's seen enough of the world to believe in passion, and won't accept a marriage without it. — The Wallflower Makes a Dangerous Barga...  more »Bastard son of a duke and king of London's dark streets, Devil has spent a lifetime wielding power and seizing opportunity, and the spinster wallflower is everything he needs to exact a revenge years in the making. All he must do is turn the plain little mouse into an irresistible temptress, set his trap, and destroy his enemy.

For the Promise of Passion... But there's nothing plain about Felicity Faircloth, who quickly decides she'd rather have Devil than another. Soon, Devil's carefully laid plans are in chaos, and he must choose between everything he's ever wanted...and the only thing he's ever desired.

I'm in this one for the long haul! An intriguing backstory and a group of bastard siblings were so fascinating that I absolutely want to read each of their stories. While I felt Devil's revenge strategy was a bit thin and Felicity was just this side of shallow, I did love the dark world he created and her clever talent for picking locks that seemed to land her in all kinds of trouble. Several scenes were pure gold; moving, romantic, and thrilling. (That he could tap his walking stick and call out into the night--staking claim--and everyone obeys his command, well, that's simply breathtaking. Yep, give me more of that.) Getting into Devil's head and heart, and seeing his vulnerabilities made this one a winner for me. 4 stars.

This is a good plot for a story, but Ms MacLean uses 100 words when 10 would have told the tale just fine. I finally skimmed through the book and skipped whole chapters - and still managed to enjoy the story. Only two stars. This could have easily been a 200 page book.

Bravo! This is what a HR is all about.
A strong willed gel and a rouge that clash and spare and find love.
Great story, quick pace and lots of fun characters and dialogue.
First in a series and looking so forward to the next.
