    <body><![CDATA[As I read the third book in the Wallflower series, I couldn’t get the image of a young strong woman taming a blue-eyed dragon. The dragon though was a handsome rake; Sebastian St. Vincent who at first comes across as cold, selfish and callous thinking of himself and only his self. So when Evie comes to him with a deal to save him from the so-called poorhouse, he takes the deal with both hands like a greedy child. Evie sees Sebastian as her only way out from the abuse of her family and to see her dying father one last time. <br/><br/>  While the shyest of the wallflower group, you see Evie come into her own, growing stronger and with a core of steel hidden deep within. Thru the lost of her father and her marriage to  Sebastian, Evie truly blossoms into a strong woman. I didn’t care to much for Sebastian as a hidden villain in  It Happened One Autumn, but it did go  to show another side to this imperfect, beautiful man,(who I come to adore myself) who didn’t even know he had a heart and that he could love so deeply like he loves Evie. Slowly he’s shown to have a heart of gold willing to protect and risk his own life for the woman he loves. <br/><br/>   Not as light as the first two books, this book by far the most beautiful. With two tragic and complex leads finding each other and themselves thru hardships and lost. <br/>   <br/>     Even the sensual level between Sebastian and Evie is great, showing you the bond between them becoming stronger along with their love for one another.<br/>  <br/>  The wallflower group wasn’t in the background much. As secondary character limelight was shown brightly on Cam Rohan, who at times shown more wisdom and trust in matters. While I look froward to his book, I kinda wished him and Daisy would have got together *wink*<br/><br/>Overall: a beautiful book with two very beautiful characters who grow, shine and find love in one other as they make their way toward their happy ever after!]]></body>
