3.5, rounding up. The weakest of the series, but pleasant enough. This series is all about the friendships between the wallflowers for me, and this book definitely delivered on that.

Yowza! Five stars based on heat alone - I loved the chemistry between Daisy & Matthew. Their vibe was “Pride and Prejudice” without being too overtly derivative. Plus, some strong female friendships as nice adjunctive plots. Definitely made me want to read more from Kleypas.
