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

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance!   Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
