Helpful Score: 1

Lisa Kleypas continues her Wallflowers series with Lillian and Marcus's story. Lillian is refreshing, and gives the reader a new perspective on British aristocracy. I enjoyed how Kleypas gave her characters more personality and unique qualities; I didn't feel as if I was reading the same formulaic romance over again. The book is a pretty good read, although I did not particularly care for the ending. I know it should come off as: damsel in distress, and hero is coming to save the day! However, I felt that the story took off into a different direction making St. Vincent look undesirable (not a good thing, especially since Kleypas pairs him with another Wallflower in her next book).
Overall impression: good, kind of different because the heroine is not a typical English rose, but has unnecessary obstacles.
