Another book down from my TBR list and I for one am happy to check this off.
Granted had I known it the third of a series, I might have thought about reading the first two but I do love that it worked as a standalone quite well for the most part as the author didn't depend too much in the first two books to tell this story of Sebastian and Evie.
I give it to Sebastian—he is a rake, through and through. He's selfish, overbearing and he knows it and admits it which probably got him into some trouble as this book starts with him already contemplating his last scheme and how the shy and stuttering woman happened in his home.
That in itself was a great setup and had me intrigued because I have no idea how Evie with her gumption and smarts is actually a wallflower...unless her attitude has something to do with Sebastian because, aside from her stuttering which probably lead to her shyness due to being ridiculed, I don't see other wallflower tendencies unless it's more apparent in the previous books.
I wish there was more of Sebastian moments. I feel that really could have helped his character's arc from rake to husband of convenience to caring and loving at the end because while I enjoyed the book, I just didn't really fall for it but I had moments were maybe with a little more something, I could have.
