 It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas
Rating: 8/10 As I mentioned in the previous podcast, It Happened One Autumn is the second in the Wallflower series. Lisa Kleypas always writes consistently good books, but alas, some are better than others. Lillian Bowman is a spitefire, known for outspokenness. Lord Marcus is a bit of a stiff, always doing the right and proper thing. He finds her American ways obnoxious but he cant seem to help being captivated. Throw in some love potion, some calve brains for supper, some sneaking of the household spirits, and a destitute Adonis as a second suitor, and you've got an amusing love story with lots of heat and passion. Lillian is very likeable - she's intelligent, stubborn, and she's got strong opinions. Marcus is a bit more difficult to warm up to, and you'll find yourself rooting for the second suitor, if only because he seems to understand Lillian better. Unfortunately, Kleypas has a remarkable talent for writing her next book's characters in so well in THIS book, that by about half way through the book, I was more interested in the buildup for the next book than I was in seeing how Lillian finally bagged Lord Marcus.
