![]() ![]() ![]() She is the last of the wallflowers to find a husband, so her father decides whom she will have to marry. ![]() In “Scandal in Spring”, it is finally Daisy’s turn. There is just something about that story that is special. I have waited to read the last ones left and I can declare that is my favorite OVERALL, ihih. Vincent’s story has been my favorite so far. We have finally arrived to Spring after we have seen the love stories of Annabelle, Lillian, and Evie in the previous seasons. Each character has a specific mindset and behavior, which could be stereotypical, but enjoyable. The stories of the ex wallflowers are very simple and predictable, yet they have their own details. Despite she is contemporary, she is able to write stories set in the England of 1800, which is one of my ever favorite literature periods. I love the way the author, Lisa Kleypas, writes.

McQuain![]() ![]() He finds that he starts having dreams of the creature, who is becoming younger and more robust, but also doesn’t comprehend just how quickly he has healed from his wounds. Very early into his flight to New York he is attacked by a creature but, the attack being interrupted, he survives (despite a wicked knife wound to the chest). ![]() It also means, as he subsequently runs away from home, that he is in many regards a blank slate, polite but little else, for which to draw upon and build upon.
