Synopsis

She was a sensible woman, he was a man who could drive a woman senseless with desire …Gareth Fitzallen is celebrated for four things: his handsome face, his notable charm, his aristocratic connections, and an ability to give the kind of pleasure that has women begging for more. Normally he bestows his talents on experienced, worldly women. But when he heads to Langdon's End to restore a property he inherited—and to investigate a massive art theft—he lays plans to seduce a most unlikely lady.Eva Russell lives a spinster's life of precarious finances and limited dreams while clinging to her family's old gentry status. She supports herself by copying paintings while she plots to marry her lovely sister to a well-established man. Everyone warns her of Gareth's reputation, advising her to lock her sister away. Only it is not her sister Gareth desires. One look and she knows he is trouble. One kiss, however, proves she is no match for this master of seduction.

Goodreads review by Nabilah on February 28, 2022

I think my GR friend @Luana has given an in-depth review on this book and I agree with everything she’s written. The characters were lovely, the mystery part was intriguing, the tidbits on the art seem solid but unfortunately, everything else was very UNREALISTIC. I can’t get over how blasé the heroi......more

Goodreads review by Wollstonecrafthomegirl on July 26, 2015

I found this quite difficult to rate. It's probably a bit under four stars in truth. There's much to like here. Hunter's books feel very period-appropriate; the setting, the language and the dialogue are all well done. I liked Eva, a self-possessed single woman trying to manage everything in difficu......more

3.5 stars; would have been higher except for social implausibility I thoroughly enjoyed this, not least for the unusual and plausible plot, involving art works hidden during the Napoleonic Wars. It didn't hurt that the H&H were engaging too. Their relationship felt convincing (with one caveat) as it......more

Goodreads review by Sophie on March 06, 2020

This is the first book that I've ever read by Madaline Hunter - I was actually planning to grab The Wicked Duke when I saw it advertised a while back, but changed my mind once I realized that there were two previous books in this series. Well written and with an art-mystery to be solved, His Wicked......more

Quotes

“Hunter combines desire with mystery and sensuality with adventure, bringing readers the kind of romance that makes their hearts soar. Here, she pits a sexy hero against an independent spinster, mixes in a mystery, humor and wonderful banter and gifts readers with a keeper.” RT Book Reviews (4½ stars)

“Hunter spins the intrigues of an enterprising bastard son and a resourceful artist to delightful effect in this excellent launch of the Wicked series of Regency romances…The period detail educates without being onerous. Characters, such as the eccentric sisters who befriend Eva and Rebecca, round out an entertaining cast, and the romance and suspense are balanced perfectly.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
