THE WALLFLOWER'S DANCE (Jen Geigle Johnson) -- 2 Stars
Lottie Hughes hopes to find a husband, but with no dowry, title, or communication skills, she's worried that no one will notice her. Suddenly, Lottie becomes an heiress, and everyone wants to meet her. The one constant in her life is her best friend, Denny, Lord Ragsdale. However, now a duke is in the picture, seriously wooing Lottie. Who will she choose? Who cares? I cannot believe anyone printed this feeble story.
LETTERS TO A WALLFLOWER (Heather B Moore) -- 5 Stars
Because Ellen is a Diamond of the First Water, she considers herself safe to marry nobility. However, her cousin Dinah dares Ellen to leave her frills behind and attend a ball, standing with the wallflowers. Ellen agrees. After Dinah and Ellen agree to the wager, Ellen wears one of Dinah's old dresses, and they set off. Ellen is hoping to get cuttings from her aunt's exceptional rose plants if she wins.
She meets a young man who was called back from the Navy when his older brother died, to take care of his mother. Ellen and Aaron Bolton share some likes and dislikes, standing amongst the wallflowers. What she doesn't know is that he is part of the aristocracy she doesn't care to join. He tells her that he would rather be in the country, not in London. Later, they strike a bargain: he will appear to be courting her (but will return to his estate), and Ellen can beg off of balls, claiming she is courting someone.
Do you think this will work? This one is a charmer. Ellen may be a Diamond of the First Water, but she doesn't take her beauty seriously. This story was delightful.
TO MARRY A WALLFLOWER (Anneka R Walker) -- 4 Stars
Mr. Winters, whom Lord Templeton knows, enters Whites in London and is distraught. A younger man is arguing with Mr. Winters, and Lord Templeton wants to know what is going on. After the young man is removed (for arguing and trying to start a fight), Mr. Winters explains that the interloper is causing trouble because his daughter, Charlotte Winters, has refused to marry the young man. Mr. Winters is beside himself because the interloper has threatened to ruin his daughter, Charlotte Winters' name.
Because of Mr. Winter's kindness at the time of Lord Templeton's father's death, he felt obliged to help him. Thus, he offered to marry Charlotte (sight unseen). Lord Templeton was in the market for marriage because he was very lonely. Now, Lord Templeton is confused; he knows nothing about Charlotte. He befriends Charlotte's cousin to learn more. However, he soon becomes interested in Charlotte's cousin. This confusion between the two muddled the story. However, all ended happily.
