It Happened One Autumn (Wallflowers Series, Book Two): Lisa Kleypas

“Four young ladies enter London society with one necessary goal: they must use their feminine wit and wiles to find a husband. So they band together, and a daring husband-hunting scheme is born.

“IT HAPPENED AT THE BALL…

“Where beautiful but bold Lillian Bowman quickly learned that her independent American ways weren’t entirely “the thing.” And the most disapproving of all was the insufferable, snobbish, and impossible Marcus, Lord Westcliff, London’s most eligible aristocrat.

“IT HAPPENED IN THE GARDEN…

“When Marcus shockingly—and dangerously—swept her into his arms. Lillian was overcome with a consuming passion for a man she didn’t even like. Time stood still; it was as if no one else existed…thank goodness they weren’t caught very nearly in the act!

“IT HAPPENED ONE AUTUMN…

“Marcus was a man in charge of his own emotions, a bedrock of stability. But with Lillian, every touch was exquisite torture, every kiss an enticement for more. Yet how could he consider taking a woman so blatantly unsuitable…as his bride?”

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! There were so many instances where I was cracking up over Lillian’s antics as well as the side of Marcus that the readers haven’t seen yet. In the past two books that he was in (Again the Magic and Secrets of a Summer Night), we got to see the protective, brotherly side as well as the nosy, overbearing side, but this is the first time the readers got to see that he’s actually a very complex and deep man. I love how Lisa Kleypas’s characters are so multi-faceted. It makes for some seriously interesting sequels!

The plot behind this book was sweet and very straightforward with some very interesting twists and turns! It was wonderful to see Annabelle and Simon Hunt return because no Wallflower book is complete without all of the Wallflowers! I can’t wait to read more!

***This book also has one of my new FAVORITE quotes!!! "There is nothing on earth more beautiful to me than your smile...no sound sweeter than your laughter...no pleasure greater than holding you in my arms. I realized today that I could never live without you, stubborn little hellion that you are. In this life and the next, you're my only hope of happiness." Awwww!***
