Book Description:
IT HAPPENED AT THE BALL...

Where beautiful but bold Lillian Bowman quickly learned that her independent American ways weren't entirely "the thing". And the most disapproving of all was insufferable, snobbish, and impossible Marcus, Lord Westcliff, London's most eligible aristocrat.

IT HAPPENED IN THE GARDEN...

When Marcus shockingly -- and dangerously -- swept her into his arms. Lillian was overcome with a consuming passion for a man she didn't even like. Time stood still; it was as if no one else existed... thank goodness they weren't caught very nearly in the act!

IT HAPPENED ONE AUTUMN...

Marcus was a man in charge of his own emotions, a bedrock of stability. But with Lillian, every touch was exquisite torture, every kiss an enticement for more. Yet how could he consider taking a woman so blatantly unsuitable... as his bride?

I loved this book. All the charachters were well written, although both mothers were very harshly drawn. Lisa Kleypas has really made me a fan of historicals, which I used to never read.

I'm sucker for opposite attrack!! When Lillian (heroine) dislikes Marcus' (hero) "insufferable, snobbish, and impossible" act... it was fun to read their dialogue. The second book of four series, this is the first book I pick.

This was not my favorite Kleypas book. I enjoyed the characters but at the same time found myself irritated with their behavior. My favorite comment: Marcus says to Lillian..."Queen Victoria herself could not drag a pair of savage brats like you along the path of respectability." Take that you heathen. He obviously wasn't trying to woo her at this point.

Generic Avon stuff. Hero is straight out of central casting, heroine could use a slap upside the head, contradictory and mutually annoying ideas about the value of inherited greatness and making one's one way in the world.

Is it possible to love the second in a series more than the first?? If not then at least AS much!! This book was so easy to FEEL. When Marcus was enraged at his mother, I FELT it and even got goosebumps!! Lisa really did a great job on this one, and I immediatly picked up the next on and am on it. I'm already mourning the finishing of the series and I'm two books away!! LOL

lisa kleypas is one of my favorite authors. she writes love stories that have unique storylines. i loved this book in particular. american heiress and wealthy aristocrat have a mutual dislike for each other, but with one sniff of a 'magic' perfume, he can't keep his hands off her. throw in another suitor, a kidnapping, and the feisty dialogue - you will finish it in one sitting.

Very entertaining book regarding victorian England and the value of good breding and lots of money. The "Wallflowers" and a very enjoyable group of young ladies.

American Heiress Lilliam Bowman and her family are guests at the home of the Earl of Westcliff, one of London's most eligible bachelors. Lillian and Marcus have met before, and clashed over her unseemly American ways. But when Marcus kisses her, Lillian is overcome with a passion for a man she doesn't even like. Even though he tries to stay away from her, Marcus can't believe he is considering taking a woman so unsuitable to be his bride.

Entertaining story with great dialogue. Loved Marcus's apology to Lillian for kissing her. This is the second book in the Wallflower series. I highly recommend it.

Second in a quartet of romances involving the self-proclaimed "wallflowers." Lillian is an American heiress in London seeking to marry a peer. She doesn't care for Marcus, Lord Westcliff--he's insufferable and snobbish, but they are drawn together by consuming passion. Yet how could he consider taking a woman so blatantly unsuitable as his bride?
