About this listen

Two damaged hearts learn there’s a fine line between love and hate in a Wicked Wallflowers novel from USA Today best-selling author Christi Caldwell.

Gertrude, the eldest Killoran sister, has spent a lifetime being underestimated - especially by her own family. She may seem as vulnerable as a kitten, but given the chance, she can be as fierce as a tiger. Her adopted brother, Stephen, has just been snatched back by his true father, and she’ll be damned if she relinquishes the boy to the man reviled throughout London as the Mad Marquess.

Still haunted by a deadly tragedy that left him publicly despised, Lord Edwin holds only hatred for the Killorans - the people he believes kidnapped his son. And not one of them will ever see the boy again. But when Gertrude forces her way into the household and stubbornly insists that she remain as Stephen’s governess, Edwin believes he may have found someone madder than himself.

With every moment he shares with the tenderhearted Gertrude, Edwin’s anger softens into admiration…and more. Is it possible that the woman he loathed may be the only person who can heal his broken soul?

Well where do I begin.
I laughed, I cried. My emotional state has been up and down. Thank you Christi Caldwell for the most amazing story your characters come to life especially with the voice of Tim Campbell.

The concept of the story is more realistic, the hero has already been rejected by society due to his presumed madness and his in-laws hatred. The heroine might be a "gutter snipe", but she has educated herself and help the children in her care. The secondary character's behaviour is acceptable as he is a child.
However the concept that they will ever be accepted by the "TON" is so fantastic that it is best ignored. His son would suffer, if sent to boarding school. They could final manage to fit in with the rich merchants classes, but no further. Their origins would always be held against them.
Still ignoring all that rubbish, the story is worth listening to and enjoyable. The heroine doesn't expect the impossible, she works intelligently with what she has. The hero has only one thing holding him to sanity, that is the "love of his son".

Enjoyable.
