“With this novel, I am almost done the Wallflower Quartet. It really does help to read this type of series in order. Unfortunately, I read 3, then 1, then 2. I will try not to make that mistake again.

Marcus and Lillian have been battling ever since they first me. As a romance reader, I knew where this story was headed.
All the readers of this book know happily ever after is a requirement - it is how we get there that is the fun and the reason for reading such books. Kleypas did what I love in good romances. She made the trip to the altar fun, infuriating, sexy, and parts were unexpected.
I am going to be sorry when I finish this series. Forunately, Kleypas keeps writing and so there are more good romances on the way.”
“First impressions can be wrong. Take for example, Mimi. Now when one first meets Mimi, one sees a gorgeous, sultry, voluptuous beauty, with a penchant for plaid. You would think she spends all her time charming men into deadly snares, while being fed peeled grapes and lying in a warm milk bath. No one would ever guess, just by looking at Mi, that behind and underneath the gorgeousness, lies the world’s biggest fan of all things associated with blood, gore, bones, catacombs, all the “saw†and “texas chain saw massacre†movies, serial killers, and an appreciative understudy of the creative art of removing another’s skin (intact) for the purposes of wearing said skin for fun. Not. Me. But that’s Mimi and we love her all the same…unless she happens to be smelling like bat poo. But enough about that. The purpose of the aforementioned analogy is to discuss “It Happened One Autumn†– the story of Lillian Bowman and Marcus, the Earl of Westmoreland; a story upon first reading I hated so much I refused to do a review about it but now, upon a second reading (because no series mentioned on this blog of ours will go unfinished due to our anal retentive personalities), thoroughly enjoyed.

“The novel like all other Lisa Kleypas', is set in a charming old century england.The story flows smoothly and I find it a bit similar to Pride & Prejudice in it's basic storyline.I enjoyed reading it. ”

“Great story, I've always wondered how the two of them would end up, how their story would progress. In this case, opposites do not attract, but the more you hate the more you love so doing the opposite of what you want to do is just a defense mechanism. Characters from the first Wallflower book are still here, I liked the continuity of the story, everything is consistent. Some scenes are unpredictable and it makes me wonder what they'll argue about next. Lillian's spunky attitude is just the perfect dose for Westcliffe's overbearing nature of being brought up to be cold and distant. The development in their relationship is gradual and I liked the conflict, it brought a little suspense, but with secondary characters always giving comic relief, I found myself turning the pages 'til the last. Although Marcus's history was more defined, Lillian's introduction was enough in the first book. Even after an awkward situation, her quick one-liners would sure light up the mood. I love Lisa Kleypas!”

“One of my favorites. I loved Marcus and Lillian's relationship. It was maybe the funniest of the series and they were adorable.”

“My favorite book of the wallflowers. The characters a Lillian and Marcus are so fun to read and are well built throughout the story. Not only that but they are very entertaining to read about how they interact with each other since they are about as different as night and day as well as not being able to stand each other, yet thats what makes them such a great couple. Watching Marcus realize that he wants someone who you wouldn't really call apporpriate is hilarious. Its a very romantic story of two people who are too blind to see past the things they find annoying about each other are also the things they love about each other. In some ways in reminds me of elizabeth and darcy from pride and prejudice.
