Book Description

1 Aug 2006 Wallflower Quartet

After spending three London seasons searching for a husband, Daisy Bowman's father has told her in no uncertain terms that she must find a husband. Now. And if Daisy can't snare an appropriate suitor, she will marry the man he chooses—the ruthless and aloof Matthew Swift.

Daisy is horrified. A Bowman never admits defeat, and she decides to do whatever it takes to marry someone . . . anyone . . . other than Matthew. But she doesn't count on Matthew's unexpected charm . . . or the blazing sensuality that soon flares beyond both their control. And Daisy discovers that the man she has always hated just might turn out to be the man of her dreams.

But right at the moment of sweet surrender, a scandalous secret is uncovered . . . one that could destroy both Matthew and a love more passionate and irresistible than Daisy's wildest fantasies.

4.0 out of 5 stars A lovely ending to the series 16 Aug 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
And finally Daisy gets her turn...in the last book of the Wallflower quartet, Daisy Bowman meets her hero.

Daisy is the whimsical wallflower, always away with the fairies and with her nose stuck in a book. Her father, getting fed up with her failure to snag a husband, issues an ultimatum - find one quickly, or he'll see to it that she marries Matthew Swift, his protege in business.

Naturally, Daisy isn't happy about this (it would be a very short book otherwise) and her sister Lillian (now Lady Westcliff) adds her very vocal condemnations of Mr Swift...but wouldn't you know it? When Mr Swift turns up at the house party at the Westcliffs, he is no longer quite as odious as Daisy remembers...and unbeknownst to Daisy, he has been yearning for her for years, although he cannot give into that yearning due to a dark secret from his past. With the two of them thrown together at the house party, can they both fight the growing attraction between them?

This is a charming and well paced read that rounds off the series well, though I do find that it repeats the pattern of book number two (Lillian and Marcus) with the competitiveness between Daisy and Matthew, how they fight the attraction and the addition of a rival suitor to spur the hero into action. That's not really much of a criticism - Daisy is bound to be similar to her sister in some ways, and it's still a lovely story.

It's nice to visit with the other Wallflowers again; though I might have wished for more of Evie and Sebastian St Vincent, it wouldn't have added much to the storyline. As I have mentioned in a previous review, I do like that Kleypas keeps it relevant when characters from a previous book appear.

For info: The order that the books are written in is:

Secrets of a Summer Night

It Happened One Autumn

Devil in Winter

Scandal in Spring

I would recommend reading them in order.

4.0 out of 5 stars Scandal in Spring 11 Dec 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have to admit that I wasn't looking forward to reading this book. I loved Devil in Winter and knew that it was going to be impossible to beat plus I had been hoping that Daisy would end up with Mr. Rohan, the gypsy from Devil in Winter. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Matthew and Daisy's story.

I enjoyed Scandal in Spring although there wasn't much real scandal. Mr. Swift was a decent enough hero. There were quite a few funny scenes and the love scenes were tastefully done. The only problem I had with the whole story was Lillian. I found her to be annoying and I wish that the other two wallflowers had appeared more instead of her.

Overall, it was a nice end to the Wallflower stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars The final Wallflower 23 April 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I waited for what seemed like forever for this book to come out, and when it did I was slightly dissappointed. Daisy was always one of my favourite wallflowers and I felt that her book should be something really special, especially after she met the romantic gypsie Cam in the book before (the devil in winter). It seemed in all the build up to the book it fell just short of delievering the passion, fire and chemistry that the first three books had.

However, I still enjoyed it, and there were some really heart warming moments, epsecially when Lillian is giving birth. Lillian and Westcliff, and all the other wallflowers were featured often, so fans of the series can see how they grow, and the last chapter is a lovely ending of the serires (until Mine till Midnight where they return briefly). Matthew Swift is a likeable hero, and seems to be a good match for Daisy, their different natures balancing each other out (and not everyone can be a Westcliff or a Lord St Vincent).

Overall, I would reccomend this book to anyone who has read the rest of the series, and I think you will enjoy it. If you are new to the Wallflower series then start at the beginning! Secrets of a Summer night was my first Kleypas book and it got me completely hooked.
