This is the fourth and final of Lisa Kleypas simple yet brilliant Wallflower books. It's a light, uplifting, happy book.
At the start of the series four Wallflowers--women who each, for various reasons, were unable to find suitable husbands--agree to band together to help each other. Daisy is the last left unmarried and after three unsuccessful seasons in London, her father has put his foot down. If Daisy can not find a man of her choosing by the end of this season, he will arrange for her to marry his business associate Matthew Swift. Daisy is sure Matthew is the exact opposite of what she would want in a husband. Pragmatic, sensible, and ambitious to a fault, he appears not to have a single romantic bone in his body. But Matthew has been secretly in love with Daisy for as long as he's known her. He insists he cannot marry her, however. Secrets from Matthew's past haunt him even as the romance between he and Daisy blooms.
There's a lot to love about this book. Daisy is charming and adorable. Matthew's personality compliment's hers well, his practicality balancing out her romanticism. He shows a great deal of appreciation for her just the way she is, and repeatedly jumps to her defense. The plot is simple and uncluttered. The one major conflict didn't fit particularly well, however. It seemed like Kleypas put it in because she felt something else needed to happen, and that was the best she came up with. But, the women are charming and their friendship is great fun to read about.
I would definitely recommend this series to lovers of light historical romance. They are quick, easy, enjoyable reads.
