I recieved a free copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I've been in a little reading slump DNFing the last several books I opened but this one helped.
This is a relatively short novel but Marcus and Vivian are good.
When Marcus's little sister is caught in a minor scandalous situation, they need the support of the Paragon, Vivian.
Vivian has dedicated her life to upholding society's rules and protecting families who become embroiled in scandal because she had her own brush with a potential scandal when she was younger.
The plot of protecting Marcus's sister quickly dries but the relationship between Marcus and Vivian is great.

This was a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed this book. I think this is a great book for those who want an easy read and fun romance read. I liked Vivian and Marcus and the dynamic between them. The plot kept the story going as Vivian aka The Paragon helps to squash scandals while having her own scandal to keep secret as well. The romance is flirty and fun. Overall, a really fun and enjoyable read.

A Little Bit Wicked by Robyn DeHart is the First Book in the Forbidden Love Series. This is the story of Vivian March and Marcus Kincaid, Earl of Ashford. Vivian is know for smoothing over scandals and the threat of them. But she has her secret to her reason why. When she is called into a situation involving Marcus's family, Marcus finds that he has a instant connection to her. Vivian also feels the pull to him but with her secrets along with that age difference can they have a chance? Enjoyed their story.

When I pick up a book by Robyn DeHart I always know I am in for a delightful read and will be thoroughly entertained for hours! A Little Bit Wicked was not exception. How can you be a little bit wicked? Well a great title for our two characters that show you how!
Vivian March thinks herself firmly on the shelf. But she has established as The Paragon, due to being able to work magic helping those who need scandals to be swept under the rug and lips sealed. She has had her own brush with both and she gets satisfaction on helping others.
What she doesn't expect is Marcus Kincaid, Earl of Ashford, who she had brief encounter of the kissing kind years ago! He needs her help with his younger sister's potential scandal.
Loved these those and Vivian not a simpering miss but a strong woman and Marcus is sigh worthy.
Sit back and enjoy the start of this new series!

Ms. DeHart has hit a home run with A Little Bit Wicked. When scandal threatens to touch the Kinkaid family the only thing to do is call in The Paragon. However, Marcus knows Vivian is anything but the picture of virtue she appears to be and he just can't help but set out to seduce her. Romance readers will not be disappointed in this book.

This is one of those stories that is very easy to read, is light with lots of fun parts, has lovely characters who engage you and make you want to find out what they will be getting up to next.
Loved this wonderful piece of good humor and entertainment and am definitely recommending it.

One moment of indiscretion leads to a lifetime of regret. Vivian March steals a kiss from a man she thinks is Frederick Noble, yet it turns out to be Marcus Kincaid. However, she soon discovers that Frederick has left the country to become an artist in France. Fearing that her past will come back to haunt her, she decides to position herself in society as someone who helps other women out of ‘difficult situations’. Her title as ‘The Paragon’ sees her enlisted to help the sister of Marcus Kincaid, ten years after their one kiss. Marcus has not forgotten Vivian and does all that he can to pursue her despite her insistence on keeping a distance from her. Now more than ever, Vivian begins to fear that Frederick will return and ruin her carefully constructed life.
Both Vivian and Marcus are determined to do the best for the Kincaid family, and it was this strength of character that was quite appealing to read about. Their interactions and dialogues were witty. Marcus’ family and in particular his cousin, further enhance this story, making for a delightful way to spend an afternoon.

When Marcus returns from his career as an adventure tour guide to take his deceased brother’s place as Earl of Ashford and the head of their family, he’s bombarded with a potential scandal that could ruin his younger sister’s life. Vivian March, also known as The Paragon, is available to assist, and Marcus remembers her from a night a decade ago when they shared a passionate kiss.

As a way to detract from Marcus’ sister’s scandal, and to keep Marcus at arm’s length, Vivian decides Marcus must marry. Marcus agrees to look for a wife but really intends to seduce Vivian. He is drawn to her from the start, and their brief but memorable interlude ten years prior sets the stage for an enchanting and spicy romance.

Vivian and Marcus are an unlikely pair in many ways. She is seven years older than him and in her thirties, and she deems herself a spinster. Marcus is not fond of polite society and doesn’t care what people think of him, whereas Vivian built a life around what society thinks of her. Marcus is daring, and Vivian is practical.

However, the pair is also quite similar. They are both smart, sincere, and family-oriented. They both fear falling in love and believe they are not made for marriage. They both have insecurities and wounds from the past. It is clear that they admire and are attracted to each other, but internal and external conflicts, including someone from Vivian’s past, prevent them from facing their ever-growing feelings.

Vivian is a smart and independent woman who has made a name for herself in society. Marcus is newly returned to society and has eyes only for Vivian. He admires her honesty and the fact that she has a mind of her own. He sees her as his equal, and I love that, especially considering the time period. Their fun and witty banter, as well as their flirtations, are wonderful, and I love how Marcus never gives up on Vivian. Ultimately, Vivian and Marcus complement each other well.

I also enjoyed the other characters in the novel, though they weren’t as deeply developed as Vivian and Marcus. As this is the first book in a series, the characters are sure to be developed more in future books. I am especially curious about Marcus’ younger sister. Her story sounds intriguing!

A fun and romantic story with scandals, secrets, and blackmail, A Little Bit Wicked is a fabulous start to the Forbidden Love series. Thanks to Netgalley and Entangled Publishing for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Marcus Kincaid, Earl of Ashford, has returned to England to find that his younger sister's reputation is in danger.
Vivian March is known as The Paragon. She moves easily through Society, curbing gossip and smoothing out scandals. She uses ton secrets to cover her own past, including a mistaken kiss with Marcus years earlier.

I liked how the book started, but the pacing had me losing interest after a while.
