A Wallflower Christmas by Lisa Kleypas
We get to meet another member of the Bowman family – Lillian and Daisy’s eldest brother Rafe. Our heroine is Hannah Appleton, cousin/companion to Lady Natalie Blandford, Rafe’s intended bride. But she (Hannah) isn’t even mentioned in the cover blurb – what’s up with that? Rafe has arrived from the States and joins the gang at Stony Cross Park. Lillian/Marcus and Evie/Sebastian (yay!) get some spotlight time among decorating for the holidays, the adventures of a misplaced toupee and a love letter. It’s too bad the book isn’t longer; it clocks in at a little over 200 pages. An enjoyable but short holiday-themed read for Wallflower fans.
This could be read on its own. The previous Wallflower books in order are Secrets of a Summer Night, It Happened One Autumn, Devil in Winter, Scandal in Spring.
