Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers, #1)

4.5 This series is fantastic!!!
I’ve been sick for the past few days and what I really wanted were some good romance books to comfort me. Some people eat chicken soup, I curl up with Lisa Kleypas, who I think is one of the best historical romance writers.
If you haven’t read this series, you really need to. The series is about 4 ladies and they are consider Wallflowers, which basically means they aren’t the traditional English single ladies and because they are so very untraditional, they aren’t desirable.
The first book is Annabelle’s book. She’s poor with no dowry. The only thing she can offer is a title, but even then no one wants to marry a girl with no dowry, even if she is very very very pretty.
I wasn’t sure I was going to like Annabelle. I found her very selfish, conceited and very snobby. But I do like that she was pushed down a peg or two because she’s a very snobby poor girl.
Annabelle and Simon met one night and had one kiss. It’s two years later and Annabelle is still single and looking for a husband. This is the last season for her to find a husband before she is considered a spinster and no one will want her. Her option is to becomes someone mistress or marry a poor English gentleman.
So Annabelle is desperate, you would think she wouldn’t be so choosy, considering the RICH Simon Hunt is well on the hunt for her, but no, she is picky because Simon doesn’t have a title! Heaven forbid she marries a man without a title, even though he’s MEGA rich. It was really hard for me to grasp this concept, but Lisa does a very good job in explaining how hard it would be for a traditional title girl to marry below her class.
The whole book is about Simon hunting for Annabelle and I LOVED IT! I love it when the hero chases after the Heroine. I love the banter between the main characters and I couldn’t get enough of it. I just love being sucked in this world and I never wanted it to end!
