When your reputation is ruined, why not enjoy it?For Regency wallflower, Miss Verity Barnes, nothing is more difficult than obtaining a voucher to Almack’s Assembly Rooms…except salvaging her reputation after committing a grievous faux pas within ten minutes of stepping through the doors. But being cast out of fashionable society inspires Verity to seek out a different way of life—a way she … life—a way she believes will bring her happiness, comfort and security—becoming the mistress of a powerful man.
Thomas Manfred, Marquess of Landsbury, isn’t looking for a biddable woman to warm his bed. His fortunes lie on the brink of ruin, so he needs a wealthy wife, and Lady Charlotte Grey, darling of the ton, seems to be his only answer. But he cannot forget the adorable, amusing, and naïve young beauty who humiliated herself at Almack’s. And when Verity shows up on his doorstep, demanding he take her as his mistress as amends for the part he played in her ruin, he simply cannot resist the temptation.
But Lady Charlotte isn’t willing to give up her position at Thomas’s side or share his attentions with anyone. Her acid tongue could ruin Verity’s reputation even more thoroughly than it has already been destroyed…unless fate intervenes.
A light-hearted, fun, SUPER steamy, Regency romp—a quick read, not to be taken too seriously.

This one is so much fun and steamy, steamy, steamy! An absolutely refreshing story that tells the flip side of the usual Regency (and what we like to think were Regency attitudes). I love any heroine that embraces life no matter what, and this one delivers. A great read!
The Accidental Mistress (When the Wallflowers were Wicked, #1) You’ll need to splash yourself with some cool water with this one by Merry Farmer. Love the heroine, she is witty and wonderful and so curious. Thomas is sexy and fun! You’ll have to read it to find out more!
I just fell in love with Verity. She is everything innocent, caring, adventurous and loving. I had to laugh at some of the dialogue it was just too funny. Thomas is a great guy. Near destitute his hopes were on the return of a ship with his cargo. But everyday became bleaker and bleaker. Verity brought sunshine, laughter and happiness into his life. I cracked up laughing at one of the scenes where Verity and her two sisters were at breakfast and had sausage. If you get my meaning. Everything Verity learned from Thomas she shared with her sisters. This is a quick read and fun. I do recommend it. I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Am totally in love with this new series from Merry Farmer, kicking off with Accidental Mistress.
Charming and whimsical, there are so many wonderful (laugh out loud) scenes…
those breakfast sausages!
These are perfect, lighthearted reads, guaranteed to leave you giggling.
I am reading this steamy and fun romance! I love Merry Farmer’s Regency/Victorian Books!!!! She is awesome! Miss. Verity and Lord Thomas are sexy beautiful together. I loved this story so much!
This is a very entertaining start to a new series. I have not read anything quite like this plot before! Instead of trying to minimize the damage to her and her sisters her ill-timed words have caused, Miss Verity Barnes decides to embrace her notoriety and live life to the fullest. Good dialog, humor and steamy scenes. I’ll be reading more of this series.
This is a fun read and rolls along quickly. The language was abrupt, but was appropriate to this fast pace steamy story. In my opinion, this story is more about carnal relations though, so if you’d rather a story overflowing with sweet words, hand holding, and eye lashing each other, this ain’t it. I really like that this story has tentacles and is the beginning of a trilogy. Still sweet though.
Always like Merry Farmer
It was a fun an steamy short read with unconventional characters.
Because of one (rather embarrassing) misstep, Verity is shunned from the ton and with her ruin comes the one of her sisters. But it was so entertaining to see her bounce immediately on her feet and not be discouraged. No weeping nor screaming, she just looks for a new way to be happy outside society. She is rather naive but her joyful glance on life is refreshing why she seduced the Marquess Of Landsbury to do her bidding.
Thomas Manfred tried to follow the rules but a bankrupted estate and mountains of debt drove him to the trade business, and now when he is on the verge to lose everything , he has meet a woman who keeps him high on stamina but also makes him laugh and forget.
It is a very sexy and funny read with two nice peoples, and the more interesting was to see Verity navigates as a fallen woman, enjoying it and instructing her sisters, the pirate and breakfast scenes are hilarious.
The Accidental Mistress book 1 by Merry Farmer in the series When the Wallflowers were Wicked. Their chemistry is amazing and the passion hot. The characters are likeable and witty. This is a well written and very entertaining story.
Caution it is steamy. My free opinion. Thanks
After an innocent comment at Almacks, Verify and her sisters are ruined. Verify has a plan. If they are already ruined,then their best chance is to become the mistresses of men who can keep them in jewels, clothes and a flat. Things turn out differently when Verify falls in love with her protector. A laugh out loud that will keep you thoroughly entertained.
A wonderfully sensual tale from the beginning to end!
Verity Barnes without wanting to signed her fall from life in the “ton” before she even had a chance to make her debut.
Insulting non other than Lady Charlotte was a mistake to be sure but the man next to Lady Charlotte didn’t help the matter by laughing. What’s a young woman to do but seek the man that helped her downfall.
Thomas Manfred, Marquess of Landsbury isn’t really looking for a wife but he might just have to bite the bullet and ask Lady Charlotte.
But a proposition from the very delectable Verity just might be the best thing that’s happened to him.
A sexy quick read that doesn’t disappoint! Witty and fresh from the beginning this was a very HOT read that keeps the reader turning the pages!
I recommend highly!
I received a complimentary copy from the author. This is my honest unbiased opinion.
Book one in When the Wallflowers were Wicked series. Each book about a different sister who has already been shut out of society. I loved this steamy historical romance! Short but plenty of back story and character development. Lady Charlotte and her sisters relationship is great, their conversations are so funny. The Marquess of Landsbury has to either marry for money to save his family estate, or follow his heart. I am looking forward to reading the sisters books!!
When Verity ruins chances for her and her sisters in the ton, she embraces it as freedom. She propositions Thomas who she met at Almacks who witnessed and was part of her faux paux, to be his mistress. He tries to dissuade her but it taken by her boldness. The more time spent in each other’s arms form a bond. But he is in dire straits and needs an heiress. But he hopes his ship will literally come in to save his fortune and to marry Verify. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.
Woah baby! This is one hell of a hot read. Enticing, exciting, and entirely delicious. Verity is a hot mess, and a bit of an odd duck, but charming in her own way. Thomas is a fun and magnetic hero, I could not get enough of him. The two of them together? Rawr! The writing is fantastic and it was so easy to get absorbed in this story. It was hilarious, steamy and original. It was a quick read, I couldn’t put it down! Loved it!
