Tempting Mr. Weatherstone (Wallflower Weddings, #.5) . . .
This wallflower had the eye and the
heart of the one of the most eligible bachelors the ton could ever have. Penelope
had loved Ethan for a long time but the friendship they had was more to her the
deepest desire of her heart. But sometimes you have to take a chance to have
that grand adventure.
For Ethan Weatherstone life was
predictable and orderly, with the exception of his dear friends Penelope. She
was feisty, headstrong, and adventurous. In his attempts to keep her out of
trouble/danger/bad reputation, Mr. Weatherstone stepped beyond his neat and
orderly life and found more than he could have expected.
This was a short read and I found to
be a good introduction to the Wallflower
Weddings series. I love spinsters and I love it even more when they get
their own happily ever after.

Penelope
Rutledge longs for passion, but only with the man of her dreams: the brilliant,
dashing Ethan Weatherstone. If only her longtime neighbor would open his eyes
and realize how much she loves him. If only they weren’t best friends with so
much at stake. Penelope knows her future - and their friendship - is in her
hands, but is she willing to take the biggest risk of all on the man she loves?
If it were up to Ethan, life and love would be as predictable as the figures in his ledgers - certainly nothing like the adventures Penelope longs for. Yet his childhood friend has grown into a beautiful, feisty woman blissfully unaware of the danger she causes when near. Ethan knows he must save Penelope-and her reputation...but can he save himself from the temptation of her lips?

From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Daring
Miss Danvers (Wallflower Weddings, #1) . . .
I have said time and time again. I
am a sucker for a spinster or wallflower romance. This time the proper
wallflower Emma Danvers find that she willing gives herself over to a faux engagement
to the roguish ways of Viscount Rathburn. Her brother’s friend. All this of
course was to gain the inheritance that pinned the future on a marriage.
I was swept into the read with the
characters and the ups and downs of Oliver and Emma’s adventure of faux
engagement. Then to watch them fall in love was entertaining. Emma wanted
nothing to do with falling in love because she would be left hurt at the end of
all this but things change. Oliver saw the sensual creature that lay beneath
the proper exterior that she showed the ton.
The banter was charming. The blooming
relationship was taking place before all but neither could truly see it. I just felt from the beginning of it all that
this was a sweet, yet delightful road to romance that they both will cherish
for life.
Through it all I was always
comparing things to my favorite wallflowers (from Eloisa James and Lisa Kleypas)
and the reason that I love them so much. The storyline was good. The characters
I loved. The off color remarks or more so the off continent verbiage and out of
context references did not change the way that I enjoyed the story.

It’s
all fun and games...until someone falls in love.
Oliver
Goswick, Viscount Rathburn, needs money and soon. With time ticking away and
his inheritance held hostage until he’s properly wed, Rathburn’s slim options
point to just one solution: a mock courtship. In need of the perfect bride, he
knows of only one candidate: his best friend’s wallflower sister. The plan
seems flawless; except for just one thing...he can’t help falling in love with
her.
Poised,
polished Emma Danvers knows nothing good can come of Rathburn’s scheme.
Spending the next two months engaged in a mock courtship is not what she’d
imagined for her final season. Yet, charmed by his roguish ways and the
inexplicable hammering he causes in her heart, she accepts his challenge.
For
Emma, keeping the secret seems easy when it was just a game... but as Rathburn
begins to see past her reserved exterior to the passionate woman within, the
risk of losing her heart becomes all too real.

Blurb for Winning Miss Wakefield
She’s got nothing left to lose…
She’s got nothing left to lose…
With
her fiancé suddenly engaged to another and her reputation in tatters, Merribeth
Wakefield needs a bold plan to reclaim her life. She must be brave. Confident.
She must… kiss a rake? The suggestion is ludicrous! Yet, when Merribeth finds
herself alone with the dark and brooding Lord Knightswold, suddenly the plan
doesn’t seem so farfetched. So she does something she never thought she’d
do—she kisses him.
But he
has everything to gain…
The
Marquess of Knightswold—Bane to most—has no use for the affections of women.
Well, none lasting longer than a single night. A plot for revenge weighs heavy
on his mind, leaving no room for romance. So, when a shy, witty miss borrows a
kiss from him in a darkened room, everything he thought he knew about innocent
debutants vanishes along with her.
Yet
when a twist of fate brings Merribeth within Bane’s grasp, he’ll have to resist
her charms—or risk losing everything—for the sake of his heart.

Delaney
McFarland is on the hunt for a husband—preferably one who needs her
embarrassingly large dowry more than a dutiful wife. After the unspeakable
incident at her debut, Delaney knows marrying for love is off the table, but a
marriage of convenience—one that leaves her free to live the life she
chooses—is the next best thing, never mind what that arrogant, devilishly
handsome Mr. Croft thinks. Delaney plans to marry for money … or not at all.
Ever since the fiery redhead burst into his life—in a most memorable way—Griffin Croft hasn't been able to get Miss McFarland out of his mind. Now, with the maddening woman determined to hand over her fortune to a rake, Griffin knows he must step in. He must help her. He must not kiss her. But when Griffin's noble intentions flee in a moment of unexpected passion, his true course becomes clear: tame Delaney's wild heart and save her from a fate worse than death … a life without love.

Excerpt for FINDING MISS McFARLAND:
“I
don’t understand you, Miss McFarland,” he said, studying her with new interest.
“Last Season, I was nearly convinced you went out of your way to ensure that we
were never seen in the same place, to avoid association to the—”
“The incident,” she supplied quickly.
“That is the only delicate way to refer to what happened at my debut, Mr.
Croft.”
He
grinned at the haughty way she addressed him, saying Mr. Croft as if accusing him of a wrongdoing or misbehavior. “Then,
a year after the incident, I cannot
go three steps without running into you. Why, you practically laid your bonnet
at my feet yesterday, daring me to pick it up.”
Her
lips parted on a gasp, offering him a flash of her pink tongue. “I did no such
thing. It was the wind and nothing—I repeat, nothing—more.”
A
bit of deviltry flared to life within him. Now, he wanted to hear her haughty
address again. He wanted to goad her into those three syllables. “Yet you came
here to spare my mother’s feelings and then stayed long enough to encourage
her, praising her in a way that gave every indication of your interest in her
son.”
“Mr.
Croft!”
He
felt her admonition cover him, tightening the flesh over his bones. He could
feel heat radiate from each drop of blood in his veins, feel the length of each
hair on his body. His follicles contracted—released—contracted with those three
syllables out of her small pink mouth.
Mis-ter Croft.
