Who will be the last unmarried man standing?
No man in his right mind would want to get married, but every duke, earl, and viscount knows that a fellow must do his duty in the end. So four of London's most desirable gentlemen make a wager—the prize going to the one who remains unwed the longest.
Gideon Pearsall, Viscount Warton, thinks he has a fair shot at winning. After all, he's managed to enjoy the favors of many a lady while resisting the parson's noose. Even when he's stopped dead in his tracks by the most scandalous woman in all of London—Judith, Lady Chester—he vows to have her bedded but never wedded.
Beautiful, and more than a little bit naughty, Judith has always kept herself within the bounds of respectability, even while playing by her own rules. And the experience has taught her to avoid marriage. She has no desire to resist Warton's hot kisses, and his tempting touch is impossible to ignore.
But soon both Judith and Gideon can't help but wonder . . . is it possible to be a little bit wicked and still follow your heart?

Little Bit Wicked
A Little Bit Wicked is book 1 in Victoria Alexander's "Last Man Standing" series. These 4 guys make a little bet about who will be the last one to get married, although it isn't REALLY a big deal--they're just 4 friends and whoever wins only gets 4 shillings and a bottle of cognac, or some such.
Anyway, so this book is about Gideon Pearsall, Viscount Warton, who we find out in the prologue has been married before and is QUITE cynical about love and marriage and all that--he has ZERO intention of EVER falling in love again, though he knows he'll have to get married and beget an heir and all that... but he's just cynical.
So, then there's Judith, Lady Chester, who is a widow (of Lucian, Baron Chester, so she's a Baroness)... and basically Judith and Gideon met eyes across the room at a party and felt a spark. So, since Judith is a widow, and widows can do whatever they want, they strike up a little arrangement. They become lovers (without the love)... and each end up falling for the other.
But both of them have CRAP that happened to them in their pasts that they aren't having such an easy time letting go of... I thought I really understood what was going on with each of them--and I think you kinda DO get his side of the story fairly early on, but her side... you only know about half of it until about 50 pages from the end. So I was like, "Ummm... get over it already, Judith!" But then I got to the explanation of what was REALLY going on in her head.... HOLY COW...
I cried. I haven't cried during a book in a while. Not since Eclipse, I think. Holy cow, Eclipse... but this book was just so good. Very cathartic at the end. It was quite surprising for a romance novel!
So, my first Victoria Alexander book was really good! I'd give this book 4 1/2 stars if I could! :)
