Loved the female friendships...at first. But when they turned out to be pretty shallow and one-sided in the case of everyone else and this MC, eh.
Needless to say, this female lead was not my favorite. And this male lead could have been cut and pasted from countless other HRs.
Which is why I can't binge read this genre. After two books, it all starts to melt together, so that I can't remember if I just finished a book about the dark and brooding male lead with a heart of gold and the virginal Mary Sue with a chip on her shoulder, or the dark and brooding male lead with a chip on his shoulder and the virginal Mary Sue with a heart of gold.
Finally was the word before i started reading this book,finally have i started with the "Wallflowers" series i have for so long wanted to read,ever since i finished "The Hathaway" series. It was so wonderful to know of these 4 wallflowers Annabelle,Lillian,Evie and Daisy.Their different but spiritful personalities and their wonderful friendship just warmed me.As of "Secrets of a Summer Night" we get to follow the glorious and carnally delightful Love-Story of the spirited and determined Annabelle Peyton and the irresistible and sinful Simon Hunt.
I had so looked forward to their story ever since i met them in special appearances in "the Hathaway" series.They looked a very passionate couple (as every couple does in Lisa´s books) and looked very smitten with each other,so no wonder what a delight i found in their beautiful romance in this book.Annabelle proved herself a worthy heroine in my eyes in the end (also in Westcliffs,hehe) and i just admired her courage for the man she loves.As for Simon...(dreamy sigh) what a man!He was a combination of sinful charm, cool intelligence, and arrant worldliness.I love that he was a hero in pursuit after his heroine,and i knew that he would eventually propose marriage instead of a affair,which was that he had realized (very much earlier than her) that he had fallen in love with her.Their relationship that only got deeper before the marriage just overwhelmed me,as i loved every scene with them together.Their devotion,care and the blistering desire between them was too much,and i pretty much melted when they played chess together,when Simon teases her and does NOTHING to hide his desire for her.
I love the scene when Simon followed her like a tiger ín the hotel in Paris to ravish her after their marriage,that scene was SO FREAKING SEXY!I just love that scene!!!The scenes with Westcliff was also interesting,as i have met him in "Again the Magic" as i read his two sisters love-stories.I know that he will get his story in the next book "It happened one Autumn" with the spitfire Lillian-God how i look forward to watching her tame the man!
