Their mothers dared all for love...
Their sisters did the same.
Something wicked this way comes...

The oldest trick in the book…
When Lyall Anderson, Viscount Buchanan, starts a passionate affair with Miss Lilith Fulbright, he realises too late that he’s been playing with fire. Caught in a compromising position by her parents, it’s all too obvious the beautiful, amoral young woman is only hungry for wealth and a title and has no regard for him whatsoever. Humiliated and furious, Lyall does his duty as an honourable man, knowing that his future with such a woman will be one of misery.

Adding insult to injury…
When Lilith discovers her husband is not one she can manipulate, she takes her chance to run off with another man and comes to a disastrous end, drowning in a shipwreck.

In the aftermath of his wife’s death, Lyall is stunned to discover he has been named as guardian to her cousin, Luella, and Jack, who is only twelve. Knowing full well this is just another scheme from a family who are infamous for being fraudsters and conmen, Lyall refuses to trust his new wards so much as an inch.

Tarred by the same brush…
Luella does not blame her new guardian for his suspicion and anger at being manipulated into providing for them. Her opinion of her late father is little different from the viscount’s, and all she wants is her inheritance, so she can begin a new life with her brother and give him a decent future, away from the shame of their family’s scandalous ways. Lyall is determined to stick to the letter of his guardianship, however, and refuses to let the two out of his sight for fear of the tricks they may play.

When attraction overrules good sense…
Little by little, and with a deal of nagging from both his mother and his housekeeper, Lyall is forced to admit that his new wards are not exactly what he expected, and a grudging admiration pushes aside resentment and suspicion.
Whisky has a lot to answer for, however, and a moment's indiscretion could change everything.

This is the third book in Wicked Sons and while it can be read as a stand alone, it is much more enjoyable when read as part of of not only Wicked Sons series but Daring Daughters and Girls Who Dare series.

    The pacing of this story was spot on. The characters - even secondary ones - are well developed. It is a treat to read about them even when the focus isn’t necessarily on the romance plot.

    Lyall is the perfect brooding Highlander. He is exasperating, but ultimately he is not stupid. There is a misunderstanding entirely of his making, but he owns up to it and comes to a logical conclusion on his own.

    The heroine Luella is a delight. She is smart and resourceful. She tries her best to become invisible, but the hero and scheming mom and cook do not make it easy. Best of all, she is no doormat or clinging vine. She has some pride. I like that.

    There are a few plot twists that made this an elevated story. And the teasers for future books did their job. I can’t wait.

    Thrilled to discover Return to Wildsyde was a return to the engaging storytelling I was accustomed to reading in an EVL book! Lyall and Luella are fully developed and complex characters that draw you in and keep you reading far beyond bedtime. I hope future books continue to be as engaging and the disappointing book 2 in this series remains an anomaly.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Losing interest
    Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Oh, Emma V Leech, what has happened to you??? This is the third disappointment in a row and I'm losing interest when I used to devour a new book in one sitting. Once again, there's so little spark between the characters. We're told they are interested in each other rather than shown; there's no actual chemistry. It's gotten soooo boring and predictably perfunctory. Why call this series Wicked Sons when none of the sons have actually been wicked? They're just ... bland. Where is the excitement???

    So far in this series, this is my favorite. It has more depth to it. I am still disappointed in the cover. I believe Wicked Sons should be given the same consideration as both the female stories. As you may can tell, covers are important to me.

    Once again Emma Leech weaves such great stories and has wonderful characters you laugh and cry with! The family trees in the beginning are a big fave of mine to help keep characters in order and overall I LOVE how the series weave together so many characters and setup future books. It’s all in the knees 😅

    I liked the first one very much, the second less and this one I didn't like at all.
    The hero is some kind of moron wanting his first wife only for her body and is being pretty surprised, that she wanted him only for his money. Everybody repeats on every second page how awful she was and how rightful he is to live his supposed damage out on innocents, to make him look less like an imbecile, but it really doesn't work.

    The Wicked Sons Books are about young men who grew up with a happy and loving family, who know about love, sadly Lyall knew betrayal and so couldn’t trust Luella. Until he understood she was all he needed to be happy.
    As always with Emma V Leech you are immediately surrounded with her hearty world, their characters old friends you are always glad to meet again. Can’t wait for the next book!

    Wow, this was a lovely story. It's so nice to have Mrs Leech back to her usual style. Great detail, gripping, and a believable love story. You could feel the curiosity between them, the pull. It was wonderful to read and feel completely engaged, although I am tired from being up half the night but that is testament in itself. Excellent hints at the next book, as well as snippets back to pip and Tilly finally meeting her grandparents. And lest we forget, we have an enemy in our mist. Intriguing! Still, maybe not quite the level of wicked one would expect. With the girls having had a few fallen women in them, I am surprised at how Christian all the "wicked" sons are! Alas, maybe Thorn will be the one to amp up heat!
