Publisher's summary

The Wallflowers

Four young ladies at the side of the ballroom make a pact to help each other find husbands...no matter what it takes

Proud and beautiful Annabelle Peyton could have her pick of suitors - if only she had a dowry. Her family is on the brink of disaster, and the only way Annabelle can save them is to marry a wealthy man. Unfortunately her most persistent admirer is the brash Simon Hunt, a handsome and ambitious entrepreneur who wants her as his mistress.

Annabelle is determined to resist Simon's wicked propositions, but she can't deny her attraction to the boldly seductive rogue, any more than he can resist the challenge she presents. As they try to outmaneuver each other, they find themselves surrendering to a love more powerful than they could have ever imagined. But fate may have other plans - and it will take all of Annabelle's courage to face a peril that could destroy everything she holds dear.

This edition of Secrets of a Summer Night contains an altered version of the content that appeared in the original 2004 edition.

Loved it!

Simon’s character was just so perfect and Annabelle was just straight out annoying, not just if she had other qualities except being pretty. I’m not sure that the reason of being a wallflower was credible but all in all the story was good because Simon was so excellent - the declaration at the end was heart melting

Enjoyable

This book made me go through a lot of emotions. But I enjoyed it, the sweet interaction with the main couple towards the end was enough to make me cry. I can’t wait to read the next book after this.

Good story

The story was good and did not lag. Although I like Rosalyn Landor performance usually, the New York accents were not good

Very entertaining

I’ve just returned to this book for the second or third time after reading some of LK’s darker novels. Like a breath of fresh air! I hope she’ll return to more series like the wallflowers.

Great performance

I really enjoy Rosalyn Landor’s audio performances. Decent storyline by Lisa Kleypas, too. I’ve listened to this book a few times and I still like it.

Enjoyable, lovely story.

I loved this writer. The stories are nice and don’t end at the wedding night.
The characters are well developed and they the story makes me believe in love. I think the narrator was excellent. I will be buying the series.

Delightful

The story is light and delightful. I especially liked the hero. The ending is good and unpredictable. The narrator, however, needs to work on her male voices. Her male voice is unpleasant and all her male characters sound the same, which is confusing. I had to rewind several times to make sure who was talking.

Second version

I really prefer the original version. When I began listening I thought " why did they leave out the prologue?" But then realized it was a re-write.
