A Wallflower Christmas (Wallflower Series, Book Five): Lisa Kleypas

“The Wallflowers are four young ladies in London who banded together in their wild and wickedly wonderful searched for true love. Now happily married, they join together to once again to help one of the world’s most notorious rogues realize that happiness might be right under the mistletoe….

“It’s Christmas in London and Rafe Bowman has arrived from America for his arranged meeting with Natalie Blandford, the proper and beautiful daughter of Lady and Lord Blandford. His chiseled good looks and imposing physique are sure to impress the lady-in-waiting, and if it weren’t for his shocking American ways and wild reputation, her hand would already be guaranteed. Before the courtship can begin, Rafe realizes he must learn the rules of London society. But when four former Wallflowers try their hand at matchmaking, no one knows what will happen. And winning a bride turns out to be more complicated than Rafe Bowman anticipated, especially for a man accustomed to getting anything he wants. However, Christmas works in the most unexpected ways, changing a cynic to a romantic and inspiring passion in the most timid of hearts.”

I must admit that the Wallflower Series by Lisa Kleypas has to be one of my favorite series that I have ever read. Kleypas has a knack for remaining true to her characters and creating fun and absolutely fascinating plot lines. The dialogue is witty and the situations interesting so the readers are unable to put her books down.

This book, in particular, was on the shorter side, but it was no less delicious. I read about Lillian and Daisy’s brothers in previous books, but I never thought I would “meet” one of them in a book. Rafe was a well-written hero and—I don’t want to give too much of the plot away—but I thoroughly enjoyed his outspoken heroin. They make such a fantastic match and it was a lot of fun to watch as the Wallflowers banded together to help them come together! I found myself smiling numerous times—especially in the first scenes where the readers get a real taste of what Rafe is like. I hope you all enjoy this series as much as I have! I think it’s just brilliant how Kleypas has linked pretty much EVERY one of the books that I have read by her. It seems as if Stony Cross Park really is a place for magic!
