About this ebook

From the New York Times bestselling author of Devil
in Disguise, the first book in her beloved Wallflowers series.

The Wallflowers: four
young ladies at the side of the ballroom make a pact to help each other find
husbands . . . no matter what it takes.

Proud and beautiful
Annabelle Peyton could have her pick of suitors—if only she had a dowry. Her
family is on the brink of disaster, and the only way Annabelle can save them is
to marry a wealthy man. Unfortunately her most persistent admirer is the brash
Simon Hunt, a handsome and ambitious entrepreneur who wants her as his
mistress.

Annabelle is
determined to resist Simon's wicked propositions, but she can't deny her
attraction to the boldly seductive rogue, any more than he can resist the challenge
she presents. As they try to outmaneuver each other, they find themselves
surrendering to a love more powerful than they could have ever imagined. But
fate may have other plans—and it will take all of Annabelle's courage to face a
peril that could destroy everything she holds dear.

I bought this after yearning to dive back into the world of the Wallflowers. Perplexingly; The book is still good but I noticed two glaringly obvious things: They took out the Prologue where Annabelle and Jeremy met Mr. Hunt for some Diarama show and a chapter of when Annanabelle experienced the scorn of the nobility, a consequence of marrying a rich commoner. I do not understand why these were omitted as they hold great nuances and character development for Annabelle and Mr. Hunt. which the least to say...A disappointment to an Avid Wallflower fan who has reread the older prints as a college student. I now open Lillian's book with apprehension and hope I don't see any missing chapters.

Where is the prologue? It has huge significance to the story. Also parts of the story have been cut out within chapters. This is a mess and a rip off, there are huge chunks of the book that have been cut out of the ebook. Waste of money

Simon Hunt makes for an interesting hero, and this story was fine. But just that. Nothing particularly excellent about it but also nothing outrageously bad. I could do without a dramatic action movie crisis in every Kleypas novel, but I recognize that is her MO.
