Customer Reviews

So much better the second time around!

I read this book a year ago, and while I enjoyed it I enjoyed it so much more this time because I had read the other Hiatt books about the Saint of the 7 Dials. I am often confused as to why authors and publishers don't make these series books clearer as to which books come in what order. Wickedly Yours is probably about the 4th book in this series and having an understanding of which other men had been the Saint and the history of how Flute was an important character to Wickedly Yours I felt helped me to enjoy this book so much more in the second reading. It was also helpful understanding what nasty people the Mounteaths were and why Lord Peter was even more concerned about Sarah remaining with that family any longer than necessary. I really enjoyed this book - the love story between Sarah and Peter was a beautiful one and it was a great addition to this series by Brenda Hiatt!! Good read but read the others first!

exciting Regency romance

In 1816 Sarah Killian is shocked to learn her sixteen year old brother William ran away from his school. She travels to London to find work as a governess and to locate her errant sibling. She asks her relative Lady Mountheath for temporary shelter, but the odious woman puts her through a ringer before reluctantly accepting her impoverished relative as an employee. Only luck in terms of accidentally meeting Lord Mountheath keeps her out of the downstairs.Lord Peter Northrup assists Sarah on her way to asking Mountheath for shelter, but encounters her again at a social event. He likes her instantly though he hides his true self from her and the ton by pretending to be a peacock. Peter is surprised to learn that the arrest of the traitorous Black Bishop apparently means that the Robin Hood activities of the Saint of Seven Dials are over as the same man did both. As Sarah and Peter become better acquainted they fall in love and the Saint of Seven Dials still steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Peter must find the felon, but what will happen if he does unmask the thief who currently is his beloved Sarah trying to keep William from a life of crime?WICKEDLY YOURS is an exciting Regency romance that stars two delightful lead protagonists who readers will appreciate. Though how Sarah becomes the latest Robin Hood like thief is not adequately explained, her adventures and her fear of her beloved finding the truth make Brenda Hiatt's tale into a fine read.Harriet Klausner
