All she has to show for four seasons on the marriage mart is the nickname Prissy Missy. I recommend this story if you’re looking for a funny story about two very unpopular people in English society looking for a chance at love.In the second in Maya Rodale’s delightful Wallflower series, London’s Least Likely to Cause a Scandal is taking Society by storm…īeing good has worked out very badly for Lady Olivia Archer. Phinn really carried this story for me and the friendship between the wallflowers was also very sweet and endearing. Granted she thought she was marrying a murder. Although I liked Olivia she was overly silly. It is impossible not to ache for Phinn, especially when all his secrets are revealed. The problem is that Olivia doesn’t believe that. He prefers to spend his time working in the country or his machines and is socially awkward at times. He is more into mathematics and building machines then into chasing woman around English society.

I really thought this was a great and funny romance. When Olivia goes out of her way to prove otherwise he realizes that his reputation is shadowing any chance he might have with her. He believed Olivia to be sweet, gentle, kind and a proper English lady. Phinn picked Olivia because she was (or so he thought) everything his late wife was not. Lady Olivia and her other wallflower friends devise schemes to dissuade “The Mad Baron” from wanting to marry Olivia. Olivia becomes desperate to cause a scandal when he offers for her and her parents accept!

Her dreams are completely destroyed when that same gentleman is none other than Phinneas Cole-aka The Mad Baron. One night she meets a handsome a very alluring stranger. She is in her fourth season and no marriage proposals in sight. Says what is expected of her and by all accounts is a perfect English Lady. Lady Olivia Archer has always followed the rules. Combine that with a very stuffy English society and it becomes very comical. The hero and the heroine are not the only ones that make this story funny, the supporting characters have their own mischievous acts. These characters really do and say the craziest things. There were so many scenes and so many conversations that are laugh-out-loud.

Wallflower Gone Wild was a historical romance/comedy. I also like that her characters are always different, unique and almost a little bit of outcasts. She writes scenes with such precision that they are easily believable. I read Maya Rondale before and I think she is really a fantastic and creative writer.
