Secrets of a Summer Night

Brisk and sexy! I have stuff to say about the series thus far that I'll add to the review of Wallflowers #2 I'm about to write, but this book has its specific charms. Probably at the top of the list is that because it's the start of the quartet, it's got the most about the development of the female friendships, which I like. There's an entrapment subplot that doesn't feel totally consistent with the heroine Annabelle's character, but then again, she looks with pretty clear eyes at the reality of being a English woman in her social class at this point in history. Also, as my goodreads makes clear, I've been reading lots of romance, and Kleypas writes the best sex scenes of any I've read. Carry on!
