Lillian Bowman and Marcus Masden, Earl of Westcliff
I can't even put into words exactly how much I loved Lillian and Marcus and Lillian and Daisy. The relationship between the sisters made me smile and laugh, and the chemistry between Lillian and Marcus was hot. It didn't matter if they were arguing or having a moment of passion.
The friendship between the wallflowers is still going strong and any time girl power is celebrated it's a plus.

4.5 stars. Life's craziness was all swept away in the hours that I read this wonderful love story. Outspoken and too American Lillian Bowman attracted to the stuffy, judgemental Lord Marcus Westcliff.

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.

I love strong, feisty heroines, and Lillian is one of the best. She won't take crap from anyone, no matter how rich and powerful they are...or how much her mother tries to change her. The end took me a little by surprise; it didn't seem to fit the characters (well, the mother sure, but St.Vincent? I wasn't feeling it).

The second book of the series is even better than the first!! Lillian is a feisty heroine who made me laugh often!! A fun and engaging read!! Can't wait for more!
