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.

So quite to my surprise, the book I was least excited about turned out to be my favorite of the entire wallflower series. Daisy and Matthew's story was perfection from beginning to end.

I appreciate that Kleypas didn't pretend the encounter between Daisy and Cam in Devil in Winter never happened. That's why I wasn't so excited about reading this book, because I was disappointed to find out they didn't end up a couple after that steamy exchange. But I love Matthew. He and Daisy are great together.

3.5, rounding up. The weakest of the series, but pleasant enough. This series is all about the friendships between the wallflowers for me, and this book definitely delivered on that.

Yowza! Five stars based on heat alone - I loved the chemistry between Daisy & Matthew. Their vibe was “Pride and Prejudice” without being too overtly derivative. Plus, some strong female friendships as nice adjunctive plots. Definitely made me want to read more from Kleypas.
