Most of the book is about how scared the heroine is of hero and why he puts up with her and her nonsense, I didn't get it. Plus, he's not very interesting either! I didn't find any of it romantic and didn't feel an ounce of attraction between the characters. I found myself skimming much of the book, it was just plain boring and I distinctly remember rolling my eyes many times. It felt as if the characters kept saying and doing the same thing over and over... I'm a avid historical romance novel reader, and this book is a let down.
Olivia is an acknowledged wallflower. She dreads showing up at her finishing school's annual ball a single miss after four seasons without a marriage proposal. Controlled and her life regimented by her parents, especially her mother, she doesn't even know what she would enjoy doing or what she wants in a husband, except to be loved. Tired of their daughter's unwed state, her parents arrange a marriage for her with a man she has never met - a man who the ton whispers killed his wife. She becomes outrageous in her actions to embarrass him into calling off the wedding.
Second in wallflower series loved the first book as much a I do this one.
