I'll just say I agree on everything the third time around. I cried and laughed just as much as the first two reads.

Oh my freaking god - this book is so amazing! This was the second time around, and if anything I loved it more! I truly love the Wallflower series and this book is my favorite. If I could only read one romance novel ever again, then I would pick this one.

Oh my freaking god - this book is so amazing! This was the second time around, and if anything I loved it more! I truly love the Wallflower series and this book is my favorite. If I could only read one romance novel ever again, then I would pick this one.

I loved the writing, the humor, the plot, well everything! If I could, I would have highlighted the whole book!

I love Daisy. I see so much of myself in Daisy, and I would like to have her as my new BFF.

She was the most provoking, beguiling woman he had ever met. Thunderstorms and rainbows wrapped together in a convenient pocket-sized parcel.

Her father decides that she must marry before May, or he'll give her to Matthew Swift. Daisy is enraged but when she actually meet Matthew sparks fly. They are absolutely made for each other.

After all, every swift-sailing ship needed an anchor.

And I totally adored Matthew and maybe that has something to do with the fact that he did remind me of someone very close to my own heart. He is not as domineering as Hunt or Westcliff but he definitely hold his own and earn everyone's respect, except maybe Lillian's.

"But as much as I hate to admit it, that puts us in a minority. Swift is liked by everyone in the northern hemisphere, including Westcliff and his friends, my friends, the servants, the neighbors, children, animals and higher order of plants," Lillian finished sardonically. "If root vegetables could talk, I've no doubt they would say they like him, too."

And if not the love story is enough, the book is set almost exclusively on Westcliff's estate. We get to follow the other Wallflowers, and especially Lillian and Westcliff and the birth of their child! They play a huge role in this one, but we also get to spend time with Annabelle, Evie and Simon Hunt. It is a wonderful conclusion to a wonderful series! But do yourself a favor and start from the beginning - it is well worth it.

I cried and in the end I was super giddy. The best epilogue yet! Nerd alert! I also adored that this book deals with industrialism and the decline of aristocracy in England, and I really enjoyed all the conversations on public policy and social reformation. And, there were so many amazing moments. (view spoiler). ...more

4 stars. This is my second favorite book in the series. It was absolutely lovely from beginning to end.

The main characters, Daisy and Matthew, were fantastic and I adored them both so much. Daisy is such a kindhearted and stubborn character. She’s intelligent and funny and very likable.

Matthew is kind of stand off-ish in the beginning and isn’t all that comfortable with showing his emotions except for when it comes to Daisy. He’s very charming and funny. His pining for Daisy was everything to ...more

So sad to see this series end. I've become involved in these characters' lives and their romances. Lots of happily-ever-after writing, for sure, but written in a wonderfully humorous and enjoyable way. With each book in the Wallflower series, I thought...well, this is my favorite character so what will Kleypas do next? But each book got better and better. Daisy and Matthew turned out to be an adorable couple, and the bit of mystery involving Matthew kept my interest piqued until it was revealed ...more

Daisy is outspoken, and that is what is going to help her win a man she used to hate. What is so cool is that her father has already trying to put Matthew and Daisy together for his purposes. Matthew is a business man with Daisy's father's company. And boy is he hiding a big secret from her and the rest of her family. Matthew is invited to attend a hunting party with Daisy's family when he happens upon her making a wish at a wishing well. From there things get complicated because Daisy and Matth ...more

I loved this book. Daisy is the last Wallflower to find a husband. Her father has told her that if she doesn't have someone by the end of the season, she must marry Matthew Swift (who works for her father). When Matthew comes to England, she is shocked at how different he looks since she last saw him. As Matthew and Daisy discover their love, a cloud hangs over his head. I loved everything about this book. It had all the Wallflowers and their husbands. And, of course, we got to see Daisy finally ...more

As the last unmarried Wallflower, Daisy Bowman may end up being the least satisfied. Frustrated with Daisy's blue-stocking ways, her father has decreed s
