Scandal in Spring by Lisa Kleypas
5.0
Daisy is such a sweet character. The youngest of the wallflowers, she’s seen her sister and two friends find love and get marriage and she wants that for herself, but on her terms. Unfortunately, her dad decides that if she doesn’t find a husband of her own withi two months, she will be forced to marry one of his employees, who is also his fave person, Matthew Swift.
What Daisy doesn’t know is that Matthew has been in love with her for years, while she has NOT LIKED HIM AT ALL. He also doesn’t know that he’s being set up for a marriage, and despite wanting to be with her, tells Daisy they can’t marry.
Until, of course, they do some fun stuff and he’s all “okay, now we gotta get married because I love you and because reasons that means other men may not marry you.” Okay, that’s not verbatim but you get it.
Daisy has a chance to get to know Matthew and really likes him. But Lillian doesn’t, which makes for some tension between the sisters, which throws a good dynamic into the book series.
And, Matthew has a secret that he knows he needs to tell Daisy but unfortunately, he doesn’t get to tell her on his terms.
I love how Daisy gets to show off how strong and kind she is, and how she is growing into her own person, especially as she doesn’t have her sister with her as much as she did as before (because, of course, Lillian got married and is boinking Marcus a lot).
Spending more time with the Wallflowers is lovely, to see them each find love and still cherish and value their friendship. I love it.
