That love letter ... I read and re-read it how many times I forgot *sigh* (and tried hard to believe not LK but Rafe wrote it for Hannah!!) :p I would've LOVED to know more about Evie and Sebastian's life and how it is between them now that she is pregnant. Agree about the one-liner Lola. :) I had ENOUGH of Lillian from Daisy's book, now in this one, too!!! She is just ... *speechless here* ... I did feel like braining her with something for doubting our Huggy Manly Bear (otherwise known as Marcus Marsden, Lord Westcliff of The Stony Cross Park :p) ... And then, there is of course the fact that Mr. HMB 'punished' her for being looney (oh dear!) *blushes* Back to Hannah and Rafe, loved them both and again, I was kinda caught off guard by that 'love letter' *sighhhh* ... Rafe the rascal, you are sweet! :p I DO love the intensity in a hero and LK is just amazing in this regard. :D Ah … That love letter … I read and re-read it how many times I forgot *sigh* (and tried hard to believe not LK but Rafe wrote it for Hannah!!) :p

I thought the sweetest part of the epilogue was the one-liner regarding St Vincent. Too cute for words! I don't know if it's the last wallflower book, but they occupy the same world as the Hathaways anyway, so we might see occasional glimpses of them.

Or maybe it was that it was too short and his character wasn't developed properly. I loooooooooooved that we got to see what happens to the wallflowers. Do you guys know if this was the last wallflower book?

Review coming soon! And regarding sugarplums, well, I guess it beats the nutcracker suite *wink!* <strong>Renee</strong>, your local library is da bomb! Mine only stocks incredibly old copies of Johanna Lindsey and Catherine Coulter, because all the newer romances get cleared out overnight by the mysterious romance elves so I never get my hands on them! And I'm totally with you <strong>Bridget</strong> regarding Lillian. She is incredibly annoying, pushy and basically a know-it-all. Pfft. I did do the Wallflowers quiz and it should come as a surprise to none that I would be Annabelle, lover of all things sparkly (including but not limited to Edward Cullen). I thought Rafe and Hannah were quite a cute couple, <strong>Alice</strong>, and I wish that Lisa Kleypas had written a full length novel about them. :( Well, I don't think the Wallflower Series is THAT bad <strong>jenny</strong>. I do prefer Lisa K's stand-alones like "Dreaming of You", but I think the Wallflower Series is still tons better than other stuff that's out there!

Made it slightly more worthwhile although I agree. I wanted a lot more Sebastian and Evie than Marcus and Lillian (even if I do like that couple lots). Another thing, I would have enjoyed Rafe and Hannah more if the book had been longer with more focus on them. I ended having to read just their story and skipping the others to get a better love of it. Fav scene though: Family jewels. *giggles* Alice: I had coupons.

I do remember looking at the front cover and thinking that I'd love to wear a dress like that white one if I ever get married. Stunning! :) Lillian bugs the crap out of me. I couldn't stand her in her book and I couldn't stand her in this one. She's a meddlesome annoyance that I wanted to kick. *sigh* My favorite will always be Simon. Mrowr! :D Bridget Locke: I enjoyed this book, but I can’t believe I paid as much for it as I did.

It was a perfectly enjoyable book, especially because I didn't have to spend $17 for it. I love me some Lisa Kleypas, and enjoyed Rafe's and Hannah's romance. I would much rather have had more of them (or Evie and StVincent) than the somewhat annoying subplot with Marcus and Lillian. Great review!

Guys, your comments are reproduced below: <strong>Dulce</strong>: I've had this book in my TBR pile for two months now. There is something that keeps on nagging me not to read it yet. I am currently reading Julie Anne Long's "Like No Other Lover" and I guess I'll read AWC next since we are celebrating the holidays now. BTW, I cracked up with the following: "Rafe does manage to introduce Hannah to his sugarplums." Ha ha brilliant! LOL Attack of the killer spambots! Guys, your comments are reproduced below:
