#Review: ALWAYS THE WALLFLOWER by Emily EK Murdoch



  2 of 5 stars

Lady Letitia Cavendish is twenty-two and still painfully shy. She secretly harbors a crush on Edward, Viscount Wynn, a rake recently returned to Town. Letitia never likes any attention on her and the only time she actually dances with Edward, he insults her and she storms off the dance floor. Now Edward is more determined than ever to find out why Letitia is not throwing herself at him the way all the other ladies do and he wants to win her over. Letitia wants nothing to do with Edward now, but he is persistent in his pursuit of her. Can she overcome her initial dislike of him and fall in love?

The premise of this book was very good and I was hoping there would be lots of witty banter before the happily ever after, but that was not the case. I did love that Letitia finally did stand up for herself, but I thought Edward was a jerk and wasn't ready to give up his rakish ways. I felt that Letitia forgives him way too fast. In the end I was hoping for a reformed rake and didn't really believe that Edward had accomplished that.
 

I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
