The Importance of Being Wanton

The Importance of Being Wanton


Wantons of Waverton, Book 2

by Christi Caldwell


⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5



The Mismatch Society has some competition and its from none other than th original mismatched Earl!


Emma Gately and the Earl of Scarsdale were betrothed as children by their parents. Neither one truly wants the forced match and their childhood friendship soon turns sour as they grew into adulthood.


Now, years later and a month before their wedding, Emma and with the Mismatch Society’s strength behind her she puts an end to the betrothal… finally promoting Charles, the Earl of Scarsdale to take notice of her!


Just like any other man, Charles never appreciated what he had until it was going, and so he decides to win her back by creating a rival club to hers… soon his club is stealing her members and he earns her ire along with her begrudging respect.


These characters were really interesting to get their backstory on. We met both Charles and Emma in the first book as their engagement and the breaking of it starts a stir in London’s society, but we never know the story behind these two until now. 


Charles is originally portrayed as a villain and wastrel, so his redemption in the eyes of Emma was very satisfying. I loved the chemistry behind this pairing and the fact that if they ever just gave the betrothal a chance earlier on they could have been very happy together. But earning this HEA from both fides made it all the sweeter!




The Importance of Being Wanton by Christi Caldwell is scheduled to release June 29th, 2021.



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


Someone Wanton His Way Comes
