Full review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 This is the third book in Joanna Shupe's Wicked Deceptions series. Kensington sent me all three books at once and I devoured them like my roommate's brioche rolls (she needs to take these things away from me). Her heroines are strong, her dudes are a little dim (but they get better), and her plots are lots of fun. 
 The heroine in The Lady Hellion is Lady Sophia Barnes, the daughter of a Marquess... and sometimes known as Sir Stephen Radcliffe, a young pup of a dude who shows up at gaming hells and brothels while investigating missing women. (YES IT IS A CROSS-DRESSING TROPE YAY). She's known Quint forever, and held a torch for him for at least that long. He's also held a torch for her, so we also have two idiots who can't use their fucking words. 
 Honestly, Sophia is way more interesting than Quint. The resolution to his mental problems is (view spoiler)[a little "Oh, mystical East Asian thing!" (and a little just figuring out what the actual problem is and what works) which works better here than in some other books. (hide spoiler)] Honestly, the resolution is so far beyond "He just needed to boink the right Magic Hoo Hoo to be healed!" that I know I'm grading on a curve, and I know I am, but it's a solid B+ resolution. 
 I enjoyed this series quite a lot, and am looking forward to see what Shupe writes in the future.
