About this audiobook

USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell’s Wicked Wallflowers series burns hot as two rivals meet in the flesh and feel the heat…

Adair Thorne has just watched his gaming-hell dream disappear into a blaze of fire and ash, and he’s certain that his competitors, the Killorans, are behind it. His fury and passion burn even hotter when he meets Cleopatra Killoran, a tart-mouthed vixen who mocks him at every turn. If she were anyone else but the enemy, she’d ignite a desire in him that would be impossible to control.

No one can make Cleopatra do anything. That said, she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her siblings—even if that means being sponsored by their rivals for a season in order to land a noble husband. But she will not allow her head to be turned by the infuriating and darkly handsome Adair Thorne.

There’s only one thing that threatens the rules of the game: Cleopatra’s secret. It could unravel the families’ tenuous truce and shatter the unpredictably sinful romance mounting between the hellion…and a scoundrel who could pass for the devil himself.

    The story of Cleopatra and Adair was wonderful! The characters were well written and I was excited to see a strong female character.

    This is the first Christi Caldwell book that I’ve read. I enjoyed it! I think this might be a spin-off from another series because I felt like I was missing some back stories but I just went with it and it was fun.

    I'm not sure if the writer intended for Cleopatra to be as annoying, conceited, disregarding of other's efforts and disrespectful towards people she *forced* into helping her as she comes across, or if she genuinely thought these traits are what make a "strong female" strong, but she might be my least favourite female character in a book, ever.

    Half the book in and I've yet to see her behave like an actual human being with some awareness of their surroundings. Considering most of it has been told from her perspective, this is like following the secret diary of a 16 year old rich emo teenager that thinks they have it worst in the world and no one could ever understand their pain because they got sent to boarding school because of their own behaviour.

    The first 10 chapters of the book are her inserting herself *against everybody's wishes, including her own* into the home of a *rival* family that just had tragedy happen to them, only for her and her family's benefit, just to constantly insult them, assume their intentions as evil, downplay their stories and believe herself the victim in the situation despite antagonizing everyone all the time and putting 0 effort in adapting to the situation that, once again, she put herself in for no reason ("protecting" her 2 older, kinder, more mature and understanding sisters that could've and would've voluntarily been the better option). She physically assaults the male protagonist with a weapon and without it unprompted several times and we're meant to see this as "empowering" instead of childish, abusive and unnecessary.

    I honestly wanna finish listening to this but I'm gonna end up doing it by skipping all of her narration and trusting that I can fill in the gaps with context clues lol

    If you're looking for an actually good story with a "strong female lead" from this writer go listen to/read Spitfire tbh
