Thank you so much to Mils & Boon for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review.
How the Wallflower was Won (Last Chance Scoundrels, Book 2)
by Eva Leigh
Set in 1818, London, this is the second book in the
Last Chance Scoundrels series by Eva Leigh. Finn Ransome makes his money at
gaming tables, he’s much more comfortable in gaming hells than fancy balls. Although
he didn’t excel in school, he is street smart and can read people and
situations very well. However, his father has made it clear he must get himself
a wife soon or lose his inheritance. After a disastrous first season, wallflower,
Tabitha Seaton wants to avoid love and instead focus on reading and educating
herself. She wants to be taken seriously in the male dominated academic world,
she wants to make a change and have better education available for both men and
women, but in order to vote on this she must first join the Sterling Society
and attend their meetings. She is told that she is required to marry and be
joined at meetings by her husband. With Finn and Tabitha both needing to marry,
they strike a deal to marry each other. The two hit it off straight away, but
are complete opposites, neither thinking they are good enough for the other,
but they have such amazing chemistry and get on so well, can they prevent their
mounting feelings from developing further?
Finn and Tabitha see each other as they really are.
Something I loved about this book was the equal respect they had for each
other. They believed in and championed each other’s dreams. There was so much
support on both sides. I also liked how upfront they were about their history
and why they were entering into their marriage. They only thing they weren’t always
upfront about was their growing feelings! I liked how Finn gradually realised
he wasn’t stupid, even though his family had conditioned him to think that. And
Tabitha realised she didn’t necessarily need the Sterling Society to make a
mark in the world.
