About this audiobook
In the second in Maya Rodale's delightful Wallflower series, London's Least Likely to Cause a Scandal is taking Society by storm . . .
Being good has worked out very badly for Lady Olivia Archer. All she has to show for four seasons on the marriage mart is the nickname Prissy Missy. Her prospects are so bleak that her parents have betrothed her to a stranger with a dire reputation. If Phinneas Cole—aka The Mad Baron— wants a biddable bride, perhaps Olivia can frighten him off by breaking every ladylike rule.
Phinn has admired Olivia's poise and refinement from afar . . . qualities that appear to have vanished now that they are officially engaged. This Olivia is flirtatious, provocative, and wickedly irresistible. She's not at all the woman he bargained for, yet she's the only one he wants.
He's determined to woo her. She's determined to resist. But Olivia is discovering there's nothing so appealing as a fiancé who's mad, bad, and dangerously seductive . . .

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book could have been good but… Olivia (insert big sigh) I really wanted to like this book.. mainly because of Fin’s character even though I did think he could have done a better job of explaining himself and not having him do so DIDN’T do any credit to the plot just dumbed it down… but Olivia and HER PARENTS definitely fell under the trope of too stupid to live. Their antics and nagging had me rolling my eyes so hard I found I was getting a headache. I understand that Olivia was an innocent but the author took her hysterics a bit too far for my patience. By the time of “the accident” I was hoping for Fin to drop Olivia at her parents front door and wash his hands of everything. I really tried to make it through this book but after she threw the fit about her husband missing her lame class ball because he had to fix the machine… THAT SHE BROKE!I decided to opt completely out on this one… if the author wanted to price to us that she was falsely given the nick name prissy missy well she did not succeed. Could have been better buuut wasn’t so it’s given a 2 star rating 3 in my opinion would be too generous.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Olivia is known as "London's Least Likley" and is known for her poise and following the rules and never stepping out of line, and what has it gotten her, unwed after four season. One evening she meets a man who sizzles her senses just from one look across the ballroom, and she almost kisses him in public. Afterward, she learns her parents have betrothed her to the "Mad Baron", Phineas Cole. She has heard many rumors about this Mad Baron, about how he murdered his wife. Phinn has admired Olivia from afar and knows that her genteel manner is just what he is looking for in a wife. What he doesn't plan on is for scandal after scandal to occur after he decides to marry her. Phinn has no idea what he did to her, but then he learns that she believes the rumors about his late wife, which he didn't ever think it had been gone around as much as it apparently had. Phinn is out to seduce his future bride and show her he isn't the monster she thinks he is, that he can love just as passionately as she dreams of.Wallflower Gone Wild is the second installment in the Bad Boys and Wallflower series that is the most recent series done by Maya Rodale. I have enjoyed reading her others series and this is the first book I have been able to read from this series. I am a bit disappointed that I have yet to read the first book, especially after loving this title so much. There was so much emotion and drama played out in this story. I couldn't help but fall for this story. From the beginning I was fully engrossed in the story, the longest it took was just a couple of pages and I was hooked completely. Maya Rodale definitely knows how to deliver a charming love story and Wallflower Gone Wild is definitely a new favorite.In this story we see two people that need each other and are each taught a humbling lesson about Trust. Olivia I liked from the beginning, and I loved how she schemed to make Phinn want to leave her, but all of her work and trying to create one scandal after another only tends to do the opposite reaction, Phinn starts to become more intrigued with Olivia. Olivia fears for her future with Phinn, but there is something so gentle about the way Phinn treats her and the way he is so patient, Olivia starts to slowly change her opinion of him. Despite the dastardly rumors that are flying around, she starts to realize she will have to trust in her true feelings about him, and not what other gossips say about him. Phinn is a scientist and could care less about public opinion, until he meets Olivia. Now he must prove to her that he isn't dangerous or a killer. I also loved seeing the close bond that Olivia has with her fellow friends, and it only made me more intrigued with reading the first book, after seeing her friend and her husband together.Overall a charming romance that tied me up in knots (but in a very delightful way). Wallflower Gone Wild is packed with romance, desire, engaging plot and characters to worm their way into your heart. A HEARTWARMING TALE!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5'Wallflower Gone Wild', a second in the Bad Boys and Wallflower series, was fun but not as much as the first story in this series. It was almost as entertaining and charming but the heroine left me wanting.
The hero was fine, yet he did and said a few things that made me question his love for the heroine.
All in all, not bad and I do recommend it to all of you that have read the first story in this series. The author continues with the lighthearted and entertaining bent to this series.
