This book also had so many cameos from the previous Wallflowers. Literally, all these books have such an over the top, dramatic ending and I know it’s incredibly unrealistic, but it’s so dang fun to read. Again, Kleypas managed to bring the drama at the end – and I freaking loved it. I had an inkling of what it might be, but the reveal was WILD. The first time there was a hint that he had a secret, I went “ooOOoooOOhhhh” out loud. I also loved the drama around Matthew’s backstory and identity.
I have to say, the goose scene has got to be up there as one of the best scenes in a romance novel – what a way to realize you might have feelings for someone! Also, that lawn bowl scene – I relate to that hard as I too have a competitive edge and I loved watching Daisy and Matthew go head to head.
In classic Kleypas style, this book had the perfect blend of romance, humor and drama. I loved his wry sense of humor so much – it made for some great banter between him and Daisy as well as him with Westcliff and others. Vincent much in Devil in Winter, I found Matthew so refreshing. Matthew was also such a great hero! I loved that he’s been in love with Daisy for years and her quirkiness was something he valued about her and not something to hold against her. I feel like there were some definite Pride & Prejudice vibes at the start of this one with how Daisy felt towards Matthew, and it was so fun to watch her realize she might have been wrong about him. I feel like I went into this one a little skeptical after Devil in Winter, but this is up there with I t Happened One Autumnas my favorite in the series. Meanwhile, he’s harboring a secret that could threaten everything he’s worked for and make him unworthy of Daisy’s attractions. It’s been years since she’s seen Matthew, and when she runs into him again, she finds he’s changed and that she might not hate him as much as she thought. Her father offers her an ultimatum – find a suitor to marry this season or be forced to marry Matthew Swift, his business partner who she despises. Daisy’s the last of the four Wallflowers left unmarried after two plus years on the marriage mart.
In our final installment of the Wallflowers series, we get Daisy Bowman’s story. Links: Amazon – Barnes & Noble – GoodreadsĪfter Devil in Winter not being my cup of tea, I was desperately hoping that Scandal in Spring would finish the Wallflowers series on a high note.
