Book Review: It Happened One Autumn (Wallflowers, #2) by Lisa Kleypas

It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book didn't take me long-it was a quick read for me (which is oddly weird) but I digress, let's get one to the review....

Like the first novel, I didn't ship Lillian and Marcus, Lord Westcliff. I really didn't-Lillian's american, stubborn, and fiery-won't let a man control her one bit. And Marcus is a calm gentleman who's the same a little bit-stubborn, full of pride, and don't smile at all because of his father making sure he didn't smile or care for anyone...until he met Lillian.

At first, Lillian didn't like him one bit (if you read the first book, you know why) but then as they got closer (and the aphrodisiac she got from the aproctoary...which I believe it's perfume...or the Regency Era's version of Chanel No. 5), even though she didn't listen to him when she took that one jump on the Jumping course that could've broken her neck, and he forbade her to ride any horses while she was there at his home, then the little lessons by Marcus's mother, the Countess of Westcliff, whom I was reminded of by a certain Dowager Countess of a certain show called Downton Abbey...

But after Lillian got drunk in Marcus's library, they made love and Marcus asked her to marry her. She refused at first, but then as she thought about it...she loved him more than ever, and even though Lord St. Vincent was a good friend to her, she wanted to marry him first, just to make Marcus jealous, but then she didn't want to marry Lord St. Vincent at all.

When Marcus told his mother that he was going to marry Lillian, all hell broke loose. The Countess devised a little plan that made Lillian get kidnapped-by Lord St. Vincent, then lie that Lillian told her that she and St. Vincent were eloping. Marcus didn't believe her one damned bit once he got the truth out of her, and raced to the Inn where Lord St. Vincent had her, and beat his sorry ass all over the tavern (after Simon Hunt let him do it before he was killed.)

But in the end, Marcus and Lillian got married at Gertna Green, and Lillian was now the Countess of Westcliff....and then Evie visited the Lord St. Vincent just to see him....to make a deal?!

Say wha??

But that will come in another book review another time....
