drey's thoughts:
Gwen Maudsley is blessed with looks and money, and has spent her life learning to be a proper lady so that she can marry a proper gentleman. Why? Well, because that's what her parents wanted for her. But when she's left at the altar yet again, she decides that she's no longer going to be the nice, proper lady.

Wicked Becomes You is a fun romp through the mindset of a girl who grows up to be everything a proper gentleman should want... And when that doesn't happen the way she imagined, she discovers that maybe, just maybe, her late brother's best friend will show her how to be naughty. Throw this on your to-read pile. The dialog is fun, and you just can't help but feel for Gwen. Even if you are wondering where she finds these men...

About the book:

She’s been burned not once but twice by London’s so-called gentlemen . . .
Gwen Maudsley is pretty enough to be popular, and plenty wealthy, too. But what she’s best known and loved for is being so very, very nice. When a cad jilts her at the altar—-again--the scandal has her outraged friends calling for blood. Only Gwen has a different plan. If nice no longer works for her, then it’s time to learn to be naughty. Happily, she knows the perfect tutor-—Alexander Ramsey, her late brother’s best friend and a notorious rogue.

So why won’t a confirmed scoundrel let her be as bad as she wants to be?
Unbeknownst to Gwen, Alex’s aloof demeanor veils his deepest unspoken desire. He has no wish to see her change, nor to tempt himself with her presence when his own secrets make any future between them impossible. But on a wild romp from Paris to the Riviera, their friendship gives way to something hotter, darker, and altogether more dangerous. With Alex’s past and Gwen’s newly unleashed wildness on a collision course, Gwen must convince Alex that his wickedest intentions are exactly what she needs.
