The wallflower and the scoundrel, a trope match made in heaven. Of course, I\u2019m going to read it. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>We begin with an awkward encounter, where scoundrel, <strong>Kit Ward<\/strong>, finds a woman in his room at a house party and not one that he invited there. Heiress <strong>Alice Lusk<\/strong> is desperate to get the upper hand in her mother\u2019s matchmaking schemes by getting tutored in how to attract a man or else she\u2019ll be married off to a fortune hunter and not to someone she\u2019d rather choose herself.<\/p><p>Of course, Kit\u2019s happy to oblige, only because Alice\u2019s father employs a chef he needs recipes from for an upcoming club he\u2019s opening. In exchange for lessons, Alice will provide the recipes Kit so desires, but what starts as a few tips and pointers becomes an obsession. Kit can\u2019t get enough of Alice, nor can he stop himself from wanting more time with her.<\/p><p>I enjoyed this story, with Kit and Alice constantly trying to not fall for each other, but each \u2018lesson\u2019 makes it near impossible. Add in Alice\u2019s secret love of cooking, which I also love to do, and I immediately wanted her to make all her dreams come true. Though as the story progressed, I didn\u2019t think an HEA would be possible.<\/p><p>Side note: I feel horrible for this English Duke that keeps getting tossed around. In the first book of this series, he was ditched by the heroine after proposing. In Alice\u2019s story, Alice charms him and then of course her attraction and desire for Kit gets in the way. This guy can\u2019t catch a break. \u00a0I really hope Shupe has something planned for him in the future.<\/p><p>Overall, this is a nice read to get lost in for a few hours and a good follow up for the first in the series. I\u2019m looking forward to the next book as these scoundrels keep falling.

The wallflower and the scoundrel, a trope match made in heaven. Of course, I\u2019m going to read it. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>We begin with an awkward encounter, where scoundrel, <strong>Kit Ward<\/strong>, finds a woman in his room at a house party and not one that he invited there. Heiress <strong>Alice Lusk<\/strong> is desperate to get the upper hand in her mother\u2019s matchmaking schemes by getting tutored in how to attract a man or else she\u2019ll be married off to a fortune hunter and not to someone she\u2019d rather choose herself.<\/p><p>Of course, Kit\u2019s happy to oblige, only because Alice\u2019s father employs a chef he needs recipes from for an upcoming club he\u2019s opening. In exchange for lessons, Alice will provide the recipes Kit so desires, but what starts as a few tips and pointers becomes an obsession. Kit can\u2019t get enough of Alice, nor can he stop himself from wanting more time with her.<\/p><p>I enjoyed this story, with Kit and Alice constantly trying to not fall for each other, but each \u2018lesson\u2019 makes it near impossible. Add in Alice\u2019s secret love of cooking, which I also love to do, and I immediately wanted her to make all her dreams come true. Though as the story progressed, I didn\u2019t think an HEA would be possible.<\/p><p>Side note: I feel horrible for this English Duke that keeps getting tossed around. In the first book of this series, he was ditched by the heroine after proposing. In Alice\u2019s story, Alice charms him and then of course her attraction and desire for Kit gets in the way. This guy can\u2019t catch a break. \u00a0I really hope Shupe has something planned for him in the future.<\/p><p>Overall, this is a nice read to get lost in for a few hours and a good follow up for the first in the series. I\u2019m looking forward to the next book as these scoundrels keep falling.
