Author: Stacy Reid

Mass Market Paperback: 400 pages

Lady Ophelia Darby exists in two worlds. In one, she is the impudent, willful daughter of a powerful marquess and darling of the ton. In the other, she moves through the underworld’s shadows as songstress Lady Starlight, protected only by the notoriously wealthy scoundrel Devlin Byrne. But when she stumbles upon her beloved father’s darkest secrets, the line between her two worlds quickly blurs. Now she needs the help of the one man a lady should never trust.

Devlin Byrne stands on the edge of London society, knowing he will never be accepted. No one else knows that his obscene wealth and ruthlessness aren’t without purpose. Or that his purpose has golden-brown eyes that shimmer with mischief, the palest of skin, and a lush mouth that beckons to be kissed, and deeply. But having Ophelia is only the beginning of Devlin’s plans.

It’s undeniable that Devlin Byrne is a dangerous temptation but just as Ophelia begins to trust him, maybe even fall for him, she discovers she’s not the only one with secrets. And his would lead her down more than just the path of scandal…

Each book in the Sinful Wallflowers series is STANDALONE:
* My Darling Duke
* Her Wicked Marquess
* A Scoundrel of Her Own

My thoughts:
A Scoundrel of Her Own is the third book in the Sinful Wallflowers series.  It absolutely can be read as a stand alone.  In fact, I think that the events in the first two books take place around the same time as the main events in this one.  This is Devlin and Ophelia's story.  

I thought this was a really sweet and at the same time steamy romance.  I loved how they turned a brief  childhood friendship into a very strong adult relationship.  Their banter was fun both in and out of the bedroom. Ophelia learns something about herself and goes on kind of a quest.  I appreciated that the scene at the end when she fulfills that quest was genuine.  Because in real life when things like that happen, her reaction is often the realistic one. I'm being vague because I don't want to spoil anything.  I definitely recommend this one.
