I enjoyed this book even more than the first one, I think because Lillian is one of my favorite Wallflowers (besides Evie). To quickly sum it up, Lillian Bowman and her sister Daisy are wealthy American daughters of a successful businessman who are essentially husband hunting in England to elevate their family's status. The Bowman sisters, however, are fish out of water when it comes to the English peerage; the scenes where Lillian and her sister violate the social rules imposed by the class system are some of my favorites. Meanwhile, they are guests of Lord Westcliff at his country estate, the same site where the first book, centering on Annabelle, took place. Lillian and Westcliff had run ins in the past and both claimed to hate each other but, well, you know how that goes in romance books. Meanwhile, notorious rake Sebastian St. Vincent appears to set his sights on Lillian (or her fortune), which further complicates her romantic life. 
 I think what made this book stand out was just how real the characters seemed. Kleypas created very believable characters whose back stories and personalities are revealed expertly throughout the story as we get to know them. Lillian is definitely one of my favorite romance heroines so far; she's confident, unwavering in her beliefs, and prides herself on strength, while also being humble enough to admit when she's wrong. She's also forward-thinking while still being pretty believable as a character for the time period. 
 I'm glad that this series just keeps getting better and better, and I'm so excited to read about Evie's story next!
