This series only gets better and better with every book, I could not put this book down. The story of Evie and St Vincent was breathtaking.

Evie, who was raised by her dead mother’s family, will do anything to receive sanctuary and protection from their abuse and to visit her dying father, a notorious gaming club owner.

The hardened rake St. Vincent who was so desperate to marry for money that he kidnapped Evie’s wallflower friend Lillian in It Happened one Autumn, and failed. So why would Evie go to him? Well sometimes desperate situations, cause for desperate measures.

Evie goes to and ask St Vincent to marry her pronto, she pleads with him that she wants so badly to see her father but each time she attempts to escape to see him they bring her back and beat her. St Vincent who is dire need of funds agrees to the marriage, because when her father dies Evie will be a wealthy woman.

Well they say opposite’s attract and in this relationship they do more then that. Evie wants nothing further to do with St. Vincent after their wedding night she is afraid she will in fall and love with him and he will break her heart, but he does not want to let her go so easy. He escorts her to her fathers gaming club and realizes since his illness the club has been loosing money, so he quickly takes over and makes changes, and he begins to take more notice of Evie and begins to genuinely care for her. He decides he wants them to behave as husband and wife, well Evie is very reluctant to this and decides she will on one condition, and that is that he can remain
From having relations with other females and become monogamous.

Can St Vincent remain faithful to Evie? Who will be the first to break their deal? You will have to read and find out, if Evie is able to tame this rakish man into a loving faithful husband.

I give this book STARS

Today was an awesome day to finish up this book mid July here but could be mistaken as an early autumn as nice as the weather was.

The book was also awesome. This is the 2nd book in the Wallflower Series and the story of Lord Westcliff (Marcus) and Lillian.

Lillian and her sister Daisy were born in America, and their mother wants them to both marry aristocrats. Lillian who does not think it possible visits a apothecary and he offers her an aphrodisiac, of course she does not believe in such things, until....... she is kissed unexpectedly by Lord Westcliff then she believes, but is it the aphrodisiac or is it love?

These two are very headstrong and neither want to believe they could be falling in love, so they deny their attraction to each other and their friends. The plot moves along quickly with Marcus believing Lillian is all wrong for him, while she is busy spending her time with the scandalous Lord St. Vincent. Marcus does not approve of the pair, regardless Lillian proceeds to pursue him as a possible husband.

Soon Lord Westcliff's mother The Countess learns that Marcus plans to ask for Lillian's hand in marriage. The Countess will not stand for the union. Lord St. Vincent soon becomes a pawn to stop the marriage from happening.

I enjoyed this book more then the first book in the series. Both Marcus and Lillian are enjoyable characters who keep you reading to see what happens next.

My Review: Three Stars ***

I really enjoyed the story and getting to know the characters, but thought lacking in the passion and romance department. Somedays it was hard to pick up the book to read, I just wanted it to end.

I enjoyed the hero Simon very much but wish she developed him more, I found Annabell more dull and not interesting at all. There was no chemistry between the two, well not from Annabell. Simon was alluring and a mystery.

The secondary characters are interesting I believe she spent some time developing some of the wallflowers and could have spent more time on the hero and heroine; so I am looking forward to following their stories in the remainder of the series.

I love to read historical romance and fiction. I will be posting what I am currently reading and reviewing books as I finish them.

I will be doing reviews of some of my past books as well.
