The Wolf of Mayfair by Christi Caldwell

 💖💖💖💖/5


The Wolf of Mayfair by Christi Caldwell is about a woman on the run who is seeking help from the godmother she's never met, but who is a duchess. When she arrives at the duchess' home, the only one there is the roguish and grumpy son. He is Lord of the castle at this time and he has no interest in a maiden in distress besides her body.


Recently orphaned Helia Wallace travelled from Scotland to London, seeking shelter with her godmother, the Duchess of Talbot; trying to avoid her dowry-chasing cousin. The duke and duchess are wintering elsewhere, but their son,  Anthony, the Marquis of Wingrave, is there. Hellia tries to convince Anthony to help her, but he doesn't believe his mother is her godmother ; also not't caring if she dies in the elements. Or so he says. Once Helia becomes ill, there is a battle of wills and a lot of heated exchanges between the two.

I loved the feisty, strong willed, outspoken Helia from the start but thoroughly disliked Wingrave, he was a strong alpha, cynical, offensive, and rude. It was wonderful how Helia stood up to him and gradually melted the ice walls around his heart. The chemistry between them sizzled, the banter was wonderful, with a really good story of love and healing behind that. Overall, I really enjoyed their story and the ending.
