Wicked in His Arms
Ratings4
Average rating3.5
Tobias Walcott, the Earl of Blade, has learned it is best to exercise rigid control over his passions and emotions in all that he does. Uncaring that it makes him seem cold and aloof to most in the ton, he is content with wooing only agreeable and demur women in his search for a wife. Until he finds himself trapped in a closet at a house party with the last women he would ever make his countess. Lady Olivia Sherwood is unconventional, overly decisive, and utterly without decorum—everything Tobias should not desire in a wife. But she cannot deny her attraction to the cold, handsome earl. Passion between them ignites, leading them to being discovered, and honor demands they wed. Tobias is unprepared for the strength of his desire for the bewitching beauty. He must do everything he can to avoid tempting the passion that burns for her...lest it lead to disaster. Each book in the Wedded by Scandal series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.

I have been having a real hard time finding a book to get into lately. Since I started working it has been a lot harder to find the time, and energy to sit down and devote brain cells to concentrate.
I must say that this book had a weird beginning, odd middle, and some emotional turmoil towards the end, and then, our full blown cheesy ending which I love in these kinds of books! One of my main issues though, per usual, is how quickly Livvie and Tobias knocked boots. Seriously? She is supposed to be strong willed, spirited, and intelligent. And he is supposed to be cold, and unfeeling. Surely BOTH of them could hold their “lust” in. I mean, I just dont get that situation. Like oh that excuses either of them. Whatever.
Anyways, Livvie's character develops throughout the book, and I did like her friendship with Francie, Tobias's sister, but it took me a while to really start enjoying the book. I still dont like the conflict with Livvie's brother.
There was a point in the book where Livvie said that Tobias was comparing her to a wart, which was probably the highlight of this one for me. Yes, relationships are like warts, lol.
Anyways, I guess overall it wasnt bad but it wasnt great. I definitely remember enjoying The first Wedded by Scandal book more than this one.
