Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted over at Breaking the Spine. It highlights books we just can't wait to get our greedy book loving hands on.
I've read 3 out of 4 of the books in this series and have liked them all. (I will probably go back and read the one I missed, too.) I have to admit, I'm not a fan of this cover, though.

The Blurb:
Like everything daredevil Gabriel Sharpe does,
pursuing Virginia Waverly is a high-stakes game. Ever since her brother
Roger died racing Lord Gabriel, Virginia has yearned to take her
revenge on the reckless lord by beating him at his own sport. But when
she challenges Lord Gabriel to a race, the hellion who has always
embraced his dark reputation as the “Angel of Death” counters with a
marriage proposal!
Gabe
knows Virginia's family is in dire financial straits—why shouldn’t she
marry him and solve both their problems? She claims to be appalled by
his proposal, but her response to his kisses says otherwise. So when the
two of them begin to unravel the truth behind Roger’s death, Gabe takes
the greatest gamble of all, offering the cunning and courageous beauty
something more precious than any inheritance: true love.
. The Hellions of Halstead Hall is about five scandalous siblings who are given an ultimatum by their purse-string-holding grandmother to marry within the year. This is the eldest, Oliver's, story.
