Scarlett Scott’s novels are always a must-read for me!
Absolutely lovely read!
Oh wow!! I loved this story, this book was so much fun to read. The sassy Lady Jo and the gorgeous outrageous Mr. Elijah Decker.
It all started with a list, and how it ended in the wrong hands. He finds her list and likes it, he tells her he has it and makes a scandalous list.
This is such a loaded story, with familiar characters and an exciting story line, secrets revealed. Tastefully hot love scenes!! All of her books are a must read. This book 2 in this beautiful and romantic series. They can read as stand alone, but it’s so much fun reading all of them.
I was given a copy of this book for an honest review.
Lady Josephine “Jo” Danvers is a diminutive wallflower who is shy around those she does not know well, but full of personality around her friends. Mr. Elijah Decker was born of the relationship between an Earl and his mistress. Decker is a handsome, savvy businessman with a cynical heart and the lifestyle of a wild libertine. One of his many businesses is a print shop. Among his print shop accounts is that of The Lady’s Suffrage Society, where Lady Jo drops off print orders. When she accidentally includes her own list of “Ways to be Wicked” in the latest suffrage pamphlet order, Decker realizes there is a lot more to her than he ever imagined.
Their relationship is born when he convinces her to fulfill her list with him. They both discover that she is more passionate than anyone ever imagined, and that he has a more loving heart then anyone ever thought was possible. This was really a wonderful story, full of discovery, laughter, tears, joy, and the effervescence of hope. The HEA is well-deserved, and the epilogue still has me smiling. Once again, Scarlett Scott has given us a story to remember.
Yowza! It really doesn’t get much better than this marvelous story by Scarlett Scott! Just when I think I have read her best book ever, she writes another that wins my heart!
Decker. Oh yes Decker won my heart or rather made it beat faster. “The words taunted him. Tempted him. He had to stop thinking about her. Had to stop perusing the list. And he would, Decker promised himself. Soon. But first, he was going to read it again.” Double sigh!
It is often the quiet shy, ones that hold the most passion. Or dream of it as Lady Jo Danvers did and decided to do something about it so she made a list. “Ways To Be Wicked. “Oh but she somehow left it it in the pamphlet she had taken to the printers for the Lady’s Suffragette Society Pamphlet.
Jo had looked for it everywhere and when she received a note that read “I believe I have something of yours. D.” she knew. Yes she knew “she had given it to the odious, sinfully handson, utterly self-absorbed rake who owned the publisher that was now printing all the society’s pamphlets.”
The best part though is when she went to retrieve her list. Their banter like a cat and mouse was priceless and I could not wait to see what would happen!!
Delightfully sinful, witty, intriguing and of course classic, amazing Scarlett Scott storyteller extraordinaire bring a memorable story not soon forgotten!!
Scarlett Scott shows yet again why she is one of my favourite new-to-me-this-year authors. Steamy, but with emotional depth and intriguing characters. And once again she allows her characters to show that actions speak louder than words. There were tears – from the characters and from me.
Loving her writing.
An amazing heartwarming story!!!! The characters of Jo and Decker were so well written. The author takes us on a journey with both characters. Jo is more than a wallflower and Decker is more than a rake. They both find the love that they never thought they deserved. I loved the original plot of how the characters got together with a scandalous ways to be wicked wish list. There is great mix of humor and sensuality. This is another gem from Ms. Scott. You will love this book. Can’t wait for the third book in the series and Helena’s story. I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Oh my God What an amazing book!!! I really love the chemistry between Jo and Decker. This is the second book in the series The Notorious Ladies of London, but it’s a stand-alone book with a beautiful HEA.
The story begins when Decker discovers a list that belongs to Jo mistakenly tucked between the pages of a pamphlet for the Lady’s Suffrage Society. It’s a list of ways to be wicked! And he is really intrigued about this shy wallflower and her need to be wicked. Can he be the one to corrupt her?
When Jo realizes her error and storms in his office demanding he returns her list, Decker agrees on one condition: that she accepts his aid in crossing off each scandalous act. Could she dare to do that?
In this sexy love story, you can learn about two different people that look for something else in their lives, something that can make them feel alive and complete again. The characters are well written, and there are really HOT scenes between them (Hello is a Scarlett Scott´s book!!)
If you enjoy amazing dialogues, hot scenes between a shy wallflower and a sexy bastard of and earl, and of course to smile A LOT during a book, this is the one for you. A treat anyone who loves romance shouldn’t miss!

This is the second book in the series but could be read on its own. I loved that the third Danvers sibling has had her story & that characters from the previous book in the series & also characters from other series make appearances, for me it’s the icing on the cake. I loved Jo who’s feisty & intelligent but I adored Decker who was so much more than he seemed. Oh boy their attraction was combustible, whilst he was a rake who only had one night stands he didn’t rush Jo & surprised himself by wanting to see more of her. A well written engrossing entertaining read which was a lovely romance, I loved every page & so glad I started it early in the day as I found it to be unputdownable
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
From the very beginning I was pulled in. Jo had made a Wicked list and accidentally gave it to Decker with some other papers. When Decker found it he new exactly what he was going to do. Jo and Decker were made for each other and their journey to discover that is filled with funny and HOT dialogue. This story is so HOT you need to have a cold drink and fan with you while you read it. Decker had personal demons to overcome that he saw as a hindrance but Jo saw through the barres and loved him for the kind and generous man that he was. I loved Mcfie as a secondary character in this story. He helped Decker talk through his troubles and made him realize that Jo was the perfect women for him. Mcfie had me laughing at his antics. Decker had to go through tragedy before he realized that Jo was the love of his life, she stood by him when he needed her the most and didn’t give up on him. I loved this story and couldn’t put it down till I had read the entire book. Scarlett Scott’s books never disappoint.

Wow! Get set for a sensuous, steamy, sizzling, and delightfully charming read in Scarlett Scott’s newest offering in her Notorious Ladies of London series. I adored the two main characters, Lady Jo and Decker. Jo is a never-been-kissed-wallflower who has always been on the sidelines. Decker is the darkly handsome, libidinous businessman who mistakenly gains possession of her list of ways to be wicked. Decker’s sexuality leaps off the pages. He is the big, bad wolf and she is little, red, riding hood, and he is determined to help her fulfill every wish on her list. Decker knows he shouldn’t have anything to do with Jo as she is a Lady and he is only the bastard son of an Earl, but he is drawn to her. Jo knows she should steer clear of Decker as well but she too is tempted by him. Ms. Scott has crafted an engaging story of the two characters and the emotions at play. The story is full of lively dialogue and witty banter. The secondary characters are superb, especially Mcfie. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and highly recommend it. Warning, have a cool drink handy and a fan!

Another fantastic read from Scarlett! Jo and Decker are amazing characters who share electrifying chemistry as well as a naughty lust that brings them together. Plot twists and lists aside the story is fun, naughty and romantic with a high level of steam! Totally recommended! I received a free copy, these however are my true and sincere opinions.
What a great book! I loved the dynamic between Jo and Decker and I absolutely LOVE Decker—I think he may be an all time fav! This book was funny, sad, steamy…you name it, this book has it. My favorite thing Scarlett does, is weave “old” characters into new books. You will see lots of past characters in this book, which was great and is always an unexpected bonus!
This was a wonderful book and I highly recommend. I received an ARC and this is my honest review. Thank you, Scarlett!
P.S. I LOVE Macfie!
Decker and Lady Jo are unexpectedly placed in each other’s lives. Decker has a wild reputation and he doesn’t try to hide it. He admits his attraction to Jo but will never approach an innocent. At least, that is the plan until completely by accident he discover Jo’s secrets. His heart has been broken before so he will never marry. Lady Jo is so much fun and so open to Decker. They are so good for each other but not everyone would agree. Decker doesn’t want Josie as his wife but he doesn’t want her to be another man’s wife. There is the conundrum.
I know this is not a trope, but I love when there is a list involved in the story. The hero always wants to help the heroine with the list. Hijinks usually ensue and it is such fun. This story was so freaking good. I loved every single word of it. Jo is tenacious, sticks by her guns and does not let Decker’s history and lack of communication get her down. Now there is a woman I like to see in stories. This is a beautiful love story.
I received a complimentary copy from the author.
My Favorite Quote from the Book: “Now and forever. My heart has always known yours.”
Mr. Elijah Decker is a handsome, wealthy, bastard son of the Earl and a very successful businessman. He is snubbed by society because of his birth and the debauched life he lives but inside Decker lives a completely different and wonderful man – if only someone could see it and bring it to the surface.
Lady Jo Danvers is a beautiful sister of an earl and she is very bored with the way her life is going. All of her friends are married and Jo hasn’t even experienced a kiss. Her answer to this is to build a list of some wicked things she would like to do and now all she needs is to find a man to help her check off the items on her list.
After Jo drops off printing to be done at Mr. Decker’s printing company; Decker finds a list among the pages to be printed. A very intriguing and wicked list and after sending her a missive, she realizes her list she has been searching for is in his possession. Decker agrees to return the list to her but on the condition that he aid her in fulfilling the items on her list.
The electricity between Decker & Josie amazing – I loved the story, I loved Decker and Josie and Scarlett Scott deserves 10 Stars for making me feel so many emotions throughout the book.
I was gifted the Advanced Reader Copy of this book & all opinions are my own & have been voluntarily given.
Well another book I loved by Scarlett Scott! This is the 2nd book in the series The Notorious Ladies of London, but it is a stand-alone book. This book is about Decker, who is an illegitimate son of an Earl and a businessman, and Lady Jo, who is bored with her life, and wants to experience passion, she wants to be wicked. Jo makes a list, Ways to be Wicked, which Decker finds, which tempts him. Decker and Jo have such a chemistry it will give you goosebumps. I really like Decker; he is a man who is not at all what he seems. I love a bad boy who cannot help being good with the right women. I believe I have a crush on him. This book was so good and so well written, I finished it on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I have read the 1st 2 books in this series and I cannot wait to read more.
I received a free copy of this book, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
⁸An OK Story
3 1/2 stars
I wished I could have given more, but the sex scene of the consumption dragged on so long I almost stopped reading the book.
The Story is is good. It just missed the mark with all the sex this couple has. I did enjoy a few of the “The Wicked Winters Series”
What’s not to love about a Scarlett Scott story. Lady Jo Danvers makes a list of her scandalous wishes. She is considered a wallflower and wants to experience some passion. She inadvertently leaves the list in a book that falls into the hands of Mr. Elijah Decker, handsome and intriguing to Jo. He offers to help with her list and there the story goes. I loved it as I do all SS steamy stories. This is another Notorious Ladies read and just as good as all the rest.
A good read set during that time that women did not have many rights. The background of the Suffrage movement is interesting and informative. Great characters and development of their life.
