Lucy is a tall, long stemmed, English beauty convinced that she is a wallflower because of her height. Despite her insecurities, she is betrothed to the delicious, but distant Mr. Ravenscroft, who has his own agenda and suffers from his own set of different insecurities. When Lucy suddenly inherits a fortune, her mother is convinced that her daughter can do better in the marriage mart and wants Lucy to break her betrothal. Lucy is already halfway in love with Ravenscroft, but she does throw him over for her own reasons. She wants love in life and in her marriage; Ravenscroft seems clueless about love. Of course, this makes Ravenscroft see Lucy in a whole new light and makes it his priority to win over the wallflower. This lovely novella has the potential to make you an Eloisa James addict. This is not a bad thing! I've been addicted from her very first novel "Potent Pleasures' **Also noteworthy, is the fact that this novella introduces the female protagonist of Eloisa James' next novel in her "Fairy Tale" series: Olivia Lytton in "The Duke is Mine." (December 27th release)

I won't give away the ending but for any gal that has found herself on the edge of the dance-floor or on the edge of the party just watching -This is a must read! For all the times you've drempt of standing up for not only yourself bur for what's right - this is a must read! In this delightful novella the couple not only learn that they are both worth a lot more than they thought, they also end up proving thier worth to each other and their families. All while falling in the oh so unfashionable state of true love. The only drawback to this novella is that it ends much to quickly! I highly recommend reading this and look forward to the sequel novel "The Duke is Mine." Barbara

I did not like this book. James is one of those authors that feels the need to repeat herself throughout the book. I get it... the main female character is tall and hates it... I get it... the main male character is very, very, very handsome (aren't they all?). I got it the first time you introduced them, no need to repeat it a solid 15 times more.

It was a great read...romantic and lovely, with the perfect amount of fire! The writer developed the characters really well, especially the complete turnabout of Cyrrus. Really wonderful! Everyone who is into romance should read this!

I enjoyed reading this cute little book. It is all of 188 pages. Think Romantic Comedy in 1812, London. Thre are no surprises, but it will keep you company if you want some light reading!

Really liked this one and felt the characters were well-sketched and clear. They grew and changed, even over such a short period of time, as they got to know each other for real.
The sex at the end felt a tad gratuitous, as if they really hadn't reached that level of intimacy yet. I would have liked to see them stand up to her family and his cousin the duke and meet his parents.

I liked that even though Lucy considered herself a wallflower, she had enough self-esteem to turn down the unenthusiastic proprosal of Ravenscrost (once she had the means), and open his eyes to see she was a prize worth winning.

i like pretty much everything this author writes. This is a quick, satisfying read. Think "Some Enchanted Evening",only he's not a stranger. Sigh.

Great intro to this writers wit and style. Not in in depth novel but a short but interesting one with some previews of other books in the series. Certainly worth the money.
