Wild in Winter (The Wicked Winters Book 6) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 3,284 ratings

Gill, the Duke of Coventry, has never been the sort of gentleman who woos ladies with effortless ease. In fact, he’s never even kissed a woman, let alone courted one. But as the new duke, he’s in need of a wealthy bride to replenish his dwindling familial coffers. Preferably a sweet, calm bride who is equally reserved. A bride who is nothing at all like Miss Christabella Winter.

Christabella is looking for passion. She longs for forbidden kisses in hidden alcoves, for a dashing rake to sweep her off her feet. Therefore, her dratted infatuation with the shy Duke of Coventry makes no sense. Particularly since he cannot be bothered to speak to her in complete sentences.

When she inadvertently learns the duke has never been kissed, however, Christabella forms the perfect plan. She can show him how to win a lady’s heart and kiss him out of her system at the same time. But the problem with kisses is they often lead to something more, and soon, the only heart she wants him to win is hers.

    Starring Christabella Winter and Gill, Duke of Coventry.

    Oh. My. YUM!! Christabella and Gill are absolutely delicious together (fanning myself)!! They had me smiling and ugly crying AF like a lovesick fool... So. Much. FEEEEELS!!

    I looooooove a good virgin hero story.... and Gill is going down as one of my faves. Because of his traumatic childhood he’s developed a speech affliction in social settings. It’s also causes him not to interact comfortably with the opposite sex... which is why he still has his v-card. Ooooh but that doesn’t mean he’s not a swoon-worthy hero.... coz he definitely is!! He may not be a rake, but he will make your toes curl. Gawd bless them silent types, y’all!! Hmmm-mmmm... be still my heart!!

    I absolutely loved that Christabella is feisty, tenacious, and a take charge kinda heroine. Oh she is a hoot and exactly what Gill needed to help him come out of his shell. She may insist that she wants a rake... but her heart knows exactly what she needs. Her road to discovery made me laugh out loud a lot. I love that she’s the naughtiest Winter. She’s climbing the charts as my favorite.

    Christabella and Gill are going on my “All Time Favorite couples” list. Opposites attract with these two. Such a magical combination and they made my heart so happy. And their kissing sessions always lead to some haaaawt and steamy scenes.... like wowza!! I cheered the loudest for their HEA.

    This is the last book in the WICKED WINTERS series. It had me bawling because it was so beautiful AND I don’t want to let go of this group of siblings and their significant others!! Total praises for Scarlett Scott for creating this awesome Winter Wonderland filled with these amazing characters. No surprise that she’s one of my auto-buy, Keeper shelf authors. If she’s writing it... imma gonna be reading it!!

    Learned a new word:
    mésalliance /ˌmāzəˈlīəns/
    a marriage with a person thought to be unsuitable or of a lower social position.

    My Star rating:
    5 stars x 100... Coz I gasped and Squeee’d!!!
    Ugly cried AF. Major book hangover. Characters and storyline were amazing. Made me wanna hug the author for writing a book that gave me all the feels!! Will be re-reading this story over and over and over again!! In fact, I may turn around and re-read it again NOW!!

    These entertaining historcial romances, by new to me author Scarlett Scott, are filled with layer upon layer of sexy innuendos, flirty fun and charming Regency era dialogue with enough steamy moments to permanently melt your Kindle. 

    The devilishly handsome, wealthy beyond imagination, eldest Winter is determined to gain respectability for his 5 independent, beautiful sisters and himself by marrying into the British aristocracy. At least that was his plan! Beginning in London and ending with a month long holiday house party at their rambling country estate, a wild time awaits with exciting characters, each with their own stories to share. It seems there is no rest for the wicked, who are unable to resist embroiling themselves in inappropriate situations while looking for love in every darkened corner.   What else would you expect from this unusual family??

    These stories were hard to put down, easy to love, brimming with laughter, witty banter, naughtiness and flirty fun, ensuring that this delightfully delicious Wicked Winter series is worthy of a nice long binge, sure to warm you up on many a long, cold night. I am so happy to have found Scarlett Scott, with her easy, witty writing style and swoonworthy storylines, to add to my list of go to historical authors.

    I absolutely loved this book! Book 6 in this fun Regency Romance about five beautiful sisters with a loving older brother. Mr. Dev Winter wants his sisters to marry good, loving gentleman!
    Miss. Christabella Winter is a beautiful, red haired, blue-green eyed sister who is not betrothed. She is considered a hellion, too outspoken, and wild. When all she wants is a handsome rake to court her.
    Gill, the Duke of Coventry and his younger brother were invited to the Winters for a house party. Gill is shy and reserved, his brother, who is book 5 was a rake!
    When Gill and Christabella meet in her family library, they are attracted to each other. She is refreshingly daring and outspoken, he is tongue tied.
    When she finds out he has never kissed, well she insists on teaching him! From that lesson this story line gets better and better!
    Such a refreshingly, well written book, with attention to details, I love that about Scarlett Scott’s books! The book flows, and the characters are fun, and interesting, especially a Lady Adele.
    I laughed, I cried and I simply loved this series! Each book has an original story line, each sister is different and together they are a force to reckon with!
    They all have happily ever afters and tastefully written love ❤️ scenes. I’m glad she saved Christabella and Gill for her last book, because their story is sooo different from the others. I recommend reading this series, you will not be disappointed!

    I've really enjoyed this series. Scarlett made Christabella's and Gill's story quite different from the some of the others with a poignancy that I thought was wonderful. The Winter girls interactions were funny, witty and loving just like a real life organic one. I didn't want to say goodbye to them at the end of the story and am thrilled that there are more Winter adventures to come! Fabulous read!

    Wunderschöne einfühlsame Geschichte von Christabella und Gill.
    Ich bewundere es, wie Scarlett Scott die Gefühle der beiden beschreibt und zum Schluss nochmal Schwung mit einem Vorgeschmack für die Fortsetzung hineinbringt.
    Man könnte die Story noch etwas ausweiten indem man mehr über die Vergangenheit von Gill bringt. Es wird gerade das nötigste mitgeteilt.
    Aber so bleibt natürlich mehr für Romantik und Erotik :)

    Reviewed in India on March 2, 2020

    Just when I thought this is the last of the Winter series, when (spoiler alert) author introduces six illegitimate siblings of Winter in the end. So yes we can expect continuation of the series
    Coming to this book, it's better than previous book but still ok. Since Duke was a virgin who was treated miserably by his parents, it could have been elaborated more rather than filling pages with lustful thoughts. Besides this story does happen along with Pru and Ash's story so there are some repetition. After Grace, I liked Christabella in this series as she was quite spunky and smart. Infact she did Gill's share of conversation too. Their interactions were witty. She puts Gill at ease. Two complete opposites attract each other and fall in love. As usual there is HEA and introduction of Dominic winter , step and illegitimate sibling of Winter. Overall good

    This Wicked Winters series is an absolute treat for the imagination. As we follow the Winter family through each book we are introduced to another member of the Winters and their search for love.
    Scarlett Scott's wonderful talent introduces us to these engaging lively characters who pop up in the books that follow, so that there is this lovely flow of characters we have already met continuing through each storyline. Their stories are full of adventure, emotion, humour and passion.
    This complete series is not only entertaining but it also has the right amount of sizzling heat too!
    I heartily recommend this unforgettable series.
