Lisa Kleypas Series: Wallflowers #4 Published by HarperCollins e-books on July 25, 2006
Pages: 384
Genres: Historical Romance Amazon B&N Apple An unexpected desire.
Quirky and fun-loving American heiress Daisy Bowman is the last unmarried Wallflower. Her exasperated father has informed her that if she can’t find a husband by the end of her third London season, she will be forced to marry a man she hates—the ruthless entrepreneur Matthew Swift.
Daisy is horrified. A Bowman never admits defeat, so she decides to do whatever it takes to marry someone . . . anyone . . . other than Matthew. What she doesn’t count on, however, is Matthew’s unexpected charm, or the blazing sensuality that soon flares beyond both their control. And Daisy discovers that the man she has always hated just might turn out to be the man of her dreams.
But when a scandalous secret is uncovered, it could destroy both Matthew and a love more passionate and irresistible than Daisy’s wildest fantasies.
We’ve come to the end of the Wallflowers series with a delightful story about Daisy Bowman, the American soap heiress and younger sister of Lillian. I loved every petite inch of the rebellious, romantic bookworm.

Enemies to Lovers, Historical Romance

Lillian Bowman was a favorite of mine in Secrets of a Summer Night, and It Happened One Autumn has solidified my adoration for this feisty, headstrong American soap heiress. Despite her mother’s insistence, she couldn’t give a toss about finding a titled husband. I was continually amused by her fun-loving antics and the way she defies the myriad social customs of English aristocracy.
I read the third book in the series before reading this first book. Oh well. I enjoyed Secrets of a Summer Night immensely anyway and read it in one sitting.
I chose to read Devil in Winter as part of the Ultimate Reading Challenge for September 2018 which is to read a book outside your comfort zone. Historical romances are definitely something I avoid, but I bit the bullet and dove in.
