It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas

Lillian Bowman is one of the Wallflowers and boy did she take us for a ride.

Lillian Bowman has come to England from America, in order to catch a husband.

This is really her parents wish. They have made a fortune in the soap business, but even with all their money, they also want a title.

Wanting the money and the title, Lillian's parents decided to try their hand at finding someone in England with at title for their daughters to marry.

It was a good idea, but unfortunately not much people are willing to marry Americans, especially when they are as strong willed as Lillian. Lillian does not mean to repel men with her personality, is just that she can't help herself.

Things seem to changed when she and her sister joined the Wallflowers, a group of woman dedicated to finding a husband for each other. Since it was a success to the oldest one in the group, it seems that now its Lillian's turn.

Anther stroke of luck (or bad luck) is when Lillian stumbles upon a fragrance that attracts men to her. Not just any men, but Marcus, Lord Westcliff, the most insufferable man Lillian has ever had the displeasure to have ever met.

The feeling seem to be mutual for Lord Wesrcliff seeing as he cannot stand Lillian's disregard for the rules and her loud and open way of speaking. Women are suppose to be seen and not heard (a little stretch for in his thinking) and everything about her drives him crazy.

It is made further unbearable by the unexplained attraction that he feels for her. Every time he sees her, she either does or say something that makes his blood boil and all he want to do is to hold her in his arms and ravish her.

A fire seems to start anytime the two of them are in close together, but when someone disapproves, would they be able to split up this unlikely romance? Find out in the second installment of the Wallflower Series, It Happened one Autumn.

+Lisa Kleypas is one of my go to authors. I know I just have to pick up a book with her name on it and I'm going to love it. This book was funny. We have impulsive Lillian, who does things on a moments notice. Then we have straight laced Marcus, who does nothing without over analyzing the pros and cons of every situation.

They do not sound like a good combo, but surprisingly they are exactly what each other needs. Even though Marcus was at the top of the Wallflowers list for the most eligible bachelor, Lillian wanted nothing to do with him. But when all they did was bump into each other when they were trying to stay away, well I was in constant laughter.

Marcus's mother was a piece of work, oh how I wanted to punch her after what she said to her own daughter (that witch) but I felt alright after what Marcus did to her (evil laughter). Intrigued? I know you are, buy the book and find out what happens, especially with the part that St. Vincent had to play.

NOTE: St. Vincent is my number one, book boyfriend and it has not changed in a number of years.

HAPPY READING!

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town.

Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it. Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

WICKED BOND by Sawyer Bennett

Finally, we come to Bridger's story and I must admit, it was not what I was expecting. Bridger Payne is a walking enigma that no one can quite figure out. Even his best friend don't know the full story of where Bridger came from. In the Silo, Many want him but not can have him, well not the real him anyway. That's because Bridger lives with so much pain, a pain he has no reason to get rid of since the pain is what makes him survive. If you've read the books from the series you would know Bridger. He helped each and every one of my lovable guys to get their head out their arse and go after their women. You would think that a man that gives such good advice would also take his own preaching, but no such luck. Bridger more believes in happily ever after for everyone other than him. In his mind, he's too f*cked up to be helped and he's learned to accept that, but then Maggie was unexpectedly dumped in his care and Bridger found emotion he's neve...
