Devil in Disguise

update: at first I rated this 3 stars but then I saw the current rating was 4.12 which it definitely did NOT deserve so I decided to knock it down to 2 stars.

3 stars for Devil in Winter fans. Very weak as a standalone but who cares?? It has Sebastian and Evie in it!! Since I'm a sucker for them, I, and the other fans, will definitely read any book that features them and boy, how the publisher is fully aware of this. At this point, they're just milking Sebastian and the rest of the Wallflowers characters until the fans have had enough.

For non-Kleypas readers, this book only rates 2 stars, so only read this when you have nothing to do and are just looking for some random books to fill your time. Do not expect much from this book but please don't let this book discourage you from trying out Kleypas' other (much better) books

4.25/5 and most of it is only for Sebastian (and Eve!)

So... the beginning was very interesting but as the book and plot progressed, I was only invested in Sebastian. I just love him so much and I'm so glad that there were a few chapters from his point of view. I just love him. And how much he loves Evie... Their reunion was AMAZING.

“Christ, it was undignified to pine over one's own wife.” That was hilarious! I love them!

Meritt was a great character but I would have loved to read more about her running her own company. What's going to happen next, is she going to leave it to her brother? I'm so confused since there was nothing about it once she started seeing Keir.

And the plot of her unable to have children... It was completely unnecessary given the epilogue. If the author needed a reason for her husband to die, it didn't have to be because he went to America after he learned that she couldn't have children.

Great end to the Ravenel series! Although the title would be a spoiler to anyone who's read others in this series or the Wallflowers, I'll spare any details except to say that some of my favorite characters return here in fun ways. I'm writing this review way late, but suffice it to say I will keep & re-read this one and found it sexy and fun.

I'm going to say that this book was fluff. It's really about two people who experience insta love. The classic we cannot be together even tho we love each other bit. There is a storyline of a possible assassination and true Heritage but it really didn't take precedence. Negative 1 star for the epilogue 😡. I have not read any other books in the series but I enjoyed this one enough to check out the others. Negative half star because the ending was anticlimactic. 
I listened to an audio and the narrator (Mary Jane Wells) did a phenomenal job!

(3.5, rounding up.) This was just a little bit silly and the plot was definitely overstuffed, but I enjoyed it more than I was expecting to!
