Stacia in Progress

I've never been known to do things the right way. So it should be no surprise that I'm reading Kleypas out of order, having started this series after completing Hathaways.Book 1 in the Wallflowers series felt a bit slower than book 1 of Hathaways. I wasn't as invested in the conversations between the Wallflowers, but absolutely loved every single interaction between Simon and Annabelle. The scene after our heroine finds herself wounded with a snake bite was too cute. I've always been a sucker for unconventional heroes, and Kleypas has a certain flair for writing them.This was almost a 4 star book for me, but there were a few slow parts that knocked my rating down a bit. Nevertheless, I happily look forward to the next book. I can't wait for book 3, which I hear is a goodie.
