i can't decide if this was a 4 or 5 star - definitely somewhere in the middle

i LOVED lillian and marcus's dynamic but i definitely felt there was a lot of sexual grayness (non-con followed by tons of explicit consent?!) plus the ending is kinda wild in a bad way??

i'm very eager to see how sebastian gets redeemed, and with EVIE of all characters.... but at least he didn't r*** her at all or any SA which some of these reviewers had me nervous about. and i'm getting ~tortured~ male vibes so i'm probably going to be head over heels for this (fictional) man like a FOOL

anyway. lisa kleypas has me by the throat right now!

I’m not sure what to say. I just finished this and all I could think about was this is way more dramatic than it needs to be. Despite of the drama, somehow I did not feel the chemistry between the main characters. I know LK can write better love stories than this.

This, alongside the Wallflowers prequel Again the Magic, is my favorite installment in the series. Marcus and Lillian are everything you want to see in an enemies to lovers, opposites attract historical romance.  Definitely my favorite couple in the series. The angst, the tension... I utterly devoured this.

🌶🌶.5

my personal Wallflowers ranking:
1. It Happened One Autumn & Again the Magic (tied for first)
2. Secrets of a Summer Night
3. Scandal in Spring
4. Devil in Winter
5. A Wallflower Christmas
