Book two-eighty: Scandal in Spring

Scandal in Spring (2006)
Lisa Kleypas

Rating: 2/5

At first I was disappointed that this was about Cam. Hadn’t he been groping her in the book I just read in this series. By the end of the third chapter, however, I had decided I like Matthew for Daisy better.

I think I would have enjoyed this more if I had read the first book in the series (or may be the first two for that matter). As it was I wanted to slap Lillian for the majority of this book and it wasn’t even about her, so I don’t think I’ll be reading her story any time soon. Anyway, my point was, that if I knew more about her or was invested in her character in anyway, I may have understood why she was so selfish and controlling and mostly mean.

After spending three London seasons searching for a husband, Daisy Bowman's father has told her in no uncertain terms that she must find a husband. Now. And if Daisy can't snare an appropriate suitor, she will marry the man he chooses—the ruthless and aloof Matthew Swift.
Daisy is horrified. A Bowman never admits defeat, and she decides to do whatever it takes to marry someone . . . anyone . . . other than Matthew. But she doesn't count on Matthew's unexpected charm . . . or the blazing sensuality that soon flares beyond both their control. And Daisy discovers that the man she has always hated just might turn out to be the man of her dreams.

But right at the moment of sweet surrender, a scandalous secret is uncovered . . . one that could destroy both Matthew and a love more passionate and irresistible than Daisy's wildest fantasies.
