The Spitfire (Wicked Wallflowers #5)

Carla Winters is a reformed madam trying to make an honest living for herself and other women with limited options. Along with her one friend, she has created the music hall, The Muses. Sadly, if Carla has any luck in life, it seems to be bad! While, walking home from he Muses a few weeks before opening, she comes across a lord being beaten and near death. Ever the softie, she pulls out her pistoling to rescue the hapless lord. Now, on top of readying her music hall to open its doors, it appears she will be playing nurse too. What has she gotten herself into!?

In attempt to research the the very streets he is attempting to make safer, Lord Waterson finds himself on the verge of his own death… Ever proper and vigilant to the political cases to improve the safety of British citizens, Henry March, Earl of Waterson did not see this as the way he would go. And it appears it will not be, when he is rescued by the saucy and very improper Miss Winters… Will he ever be able to repay her for saving his life?

This was a fun read. I really enjoyed the fact that the characters had been around the block a bit, so to speak. Not being “straight out of the schoolroom” these characters felt more rounded and their goals ambitions and goals more relatable. The characters were well written and the plot moves at a good pace.

The fifth book in the Wicked Wallflowers series, The Spitfire by Christi Caldwell is due to release September 17th, 2019.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Montlake Romance through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
