Scandal in Spring Audiobook Summary

Quirky and fun-loving American heiress Daisy Bowman is the last unmarried Wallflower. Her exasperated father has informed her that if she can’t find a husband by the end of her third London season, she will be forced to marry a man she hates–the ruthless entrepreneur Matthew Swift.

Daisy is horrified. A Bowman never admits defeat, so she decides to do whatever it takes to marry someone . . . anyone . . . other than Matthew. What she doesn’t count on, however, is Matthew’s unexpected charm, or the blazing sensuality that soon flares beyond both their control. And Daisy discovers that the man she has always hated just might turn out to be the man of her dreams.

But when a scandalous secret is uncovered, it could destroy both Matthew and a love more passionate and irresistible than Daisy’s wildest fantasies.

4 Standing by your man Stars Scandal in Spring was a touching and sweet read. I loved Daisy and Matthew. Matthew had a funny dry sense of humor that was very charming. Daisy was a romantic and a dreamer. They made a cute couple. I thought Matthew was so sweet the way he loved Daisy. I loved the bowls war they had. I laughed so hard. I have to say I really don't like Daisy and Lillian's parents. Just sayin' they are cold-hearted assholes. This book was a little slower for me then some of the others in this series. There was some action towards the end, and a really sad part that made me tear up. Overall I enjoyed this book. Devil in Winter is still my favorite of the series!

"Scandal in Spring" is about the youngest of the four wallflowers, Daisy Bowman who finds her soulmate in the one man she has always detested,but a man who have secretly loved her after all these years.Lisa Kleypas writes a marvellous love-story and proves yet again how deep and severe the power of love can be.[image error]Daisy is an idealist, a dreamer, a mercurial creature who alternated between childlike whimsy and shrewd intelligence.Her love of books is something i always adored about her-we both have the same interest when it comes to Romantic Novels!But soon after meeting Matthew Swift she realizes that the reality can be far more wonderful than fantasy-and that`s where i loved her growth and understanding when it came to the world.Matthew had always longed after his Daisy-a young woman he always had found as a fascinating exotic creature.One of Matthew’s more convenient skills was the ability to store long lists of figures in his head. He loved numbers, their patterns and secrets, the way something complex could be reduced to something simple. In mathematics, unlike life, there was always a solution, a definite answer.And i loved it when he had to come clean about Daisy-to move forward in his love for her,when it was so clear that he couldn`t resist her.He is a smart handsome man,caring,curious,ambitious and very carefree when it comes to his Daisy.I love the way she made him jealous-GOD how funny these scenes were.!The scene where they fought each other while playing bowls was hilarious-and how annoyed Westcliff and Lillian was,haha!The sex-scenes was totally hot and beautiful at the same time,love that Matthew plans to put up walls around their garden to ravish Daisy whenever he wants..!Ahh but they are perfect for each other..!And their banter was so enjoyable and fun to read.I love the scene where Daisy mentions to Matthew in her bedroom right before he makes love to her,that it before had been Westcliffs sisters room (heroine from Again the Magic).And that a handsome stable boy used to climb up the balcony to be with her.I knew directly that it was Aline and McKenna she mentioned and i was soooo happy,miss Aline and McKenna so much!In the end of the book we also see a secret Sebastian and Evie had..a BABY!God how excited i was.I love these two so much in Devil in Winter that are amongst my fave novels ever..!Westcliff and Lillian are as beautiful couple as they are,and i truly adored the little scenes with these two,and a big fat kiss from me to Anabelle and Simon (Hero and heroine from Secrets of a Summer Night)The deep pure friendship between these four Wallflowers undid me.They share a bond of deep, caring trust.Always there for each other.Oh,like i fell for "Hathaways" i now have fallen for "Wallflowers"..Lisa Kleypas simply writes amazing,with unique love-storys that presents unforgettable characters.I soon will be off to read the next book in the series A Wallflower Christmas about Daisy`s and Lillians wild brother Rafe Bowman as the hero,i am looking forward to it!

Daisy Bowman, the last of the wallflowers left to marry, has had three season and has yet to find a man to marry. So her father insists that she has two months to find a husband, or she will be marrying Matthew Swift. From what she remembers of Matthew Swift is a cold man so much like her father, who is driven and intelligent, but when she meets him again she is stung by how much he has changed over the years. No longer a "bag of cabbage" he is handsome, strong features and mesmerizing. So with the help of her brother n' law and Evie's husband, they have selected some gentlemen eligible for her, to come to Westcliff's home in the country. Matthew Swift exudes charm and sensual beauty that has every woman tittering in his favor. However Daisy is insistent on trying to ignore Matthew, but as much as she tries, she finds herself feeling more alive around Matthew than any other man. His kisses waken up her senses, and she aches not only for his sensual touch but she also aches to know the man as well. But Matthew is hiding something, something that haunts him and could destroy everything....Scandal In The Spring is the fourth in the Wallflower Series. This is Daisy's story. I find that whenever I read any books from this author, I just fall in love with the story and the characters, and the same is true for Scandal In Spring. It was such a delight to read this one, and it has been some time since I have. I loved both of these characters, as far as hero's go Matthew Swift is one of my favorites. He is handsome, driven, passionate, and throughout the story we see Matthew come to life. The interaction between Matthew and Daisy is witty, fun, and at times sensual; and entertaining to the reader. As far as love stories go this is a golden treasure, and one that will charm any reading with a romantic heart. Scandal In Spring is definitely at the top of best romances!!

Audio: 4 STARS!Story: 4 STARS! "You're the only one I've ever wanted." I've come to the end of the Wallflowers. 😥 I'm sad, but I loved being back with them in Scandal in Spring. Though this wasn't my favorite installment of the series, I wasn't disappointed at all with Daisy's book. It was full of LK's signature humor and tender moments. And Lillian and Marcus played large roles in the story, which thrilled me.What didn't thrill me, however, was Matthew; he was too 'cold' for too long. But honestly, even a cold LK hero is better than most, so I'll stop my whinging before it really begins. 😂If you love historicals and you haven't read the Wallflowers, you're missing out!OVERALL: Book 1: 3.75 STARS --> AnnabelleBook 2: 5+ STARS --> LillianBook 3: 5 STARS --> EvieBook 4: 4 STARS --> Daisy

I can safely say that I loved all of the Wallflowers, and I loved all of their men. But I do think I loved Matthew Swift most of all. He is such a down to earth person, not really caring about others opinions of him. He just does what he wants, and what he wants is usually wonderfully endearing. His interaction with Annabelle's baby made me melt. He and Daisy's "bloodthirsty lawn bowling" game made me laugh out loud. And his enduring love for Daisy was beautiful. There are so many lines in this book that come from Matthew that I want to put them on a poster and hang them in my room like a teenager. I adored this addition to the series. They were really all quality reads, but this is my favorite. There's just something about Daisy that I love. Her bookish nature, her romanticism, and her awe of Matthew when she finally gives in to what is building between them. As I said in the update, big fat sigh!!!

Daisy is the most fanciful of all the Wallflowers. She is forever with her head stuck in a book and thinking random thoughts. “When he had explained why investors who wanted low risk and moderate returns should put their capital into national debt shares, Daisy had interrupted him by asking, “Father, wouldn’t it be wonderful if hummingbirds had tea parties and we were small enough to be invited?” Matthew on the other hand is dependable with two feet firmly on the ground and pockets full of solutions to various problems. He has been in love with Daisy for years, but a secret in his past has made him keep his distance and now when they are thrust together again he is trying very hard to remember how to not let her get under his skin. She was the most provoking, beguiling woman he had ever met. Thunderstorms and rainbows wrapped together in a convenient pocket-sized parcel Daisy’s father has finally set down the law, Daisy will need to either find a husband in the next few months or….she will have to marry Matthew. While Daisy’s father is trying to push them together her sister is completely against the idea of Daisy marrying and American and leaving to live in America. She has enlisted her dutiful husband to help dissuade Matthew from pursuing Daisy. “I informed Mr. Swift quite sternly that I will not allow anyone to make Daisy unhappy. And I demanded that he give me his word not to marry her.”“Oh, thank God,” Lillian said with a sigh of relief.“He refused.”“He what?” Her mouth fell open in astonishment. “But no one refuses you.”“Apparently Mr. Swift wasn’t told about that,” he said. I think this was actually my favorite in the series. In all the other Wallflower books the men were rakes and/or very alpha. But Matthew Swift is a different hero altogether. He is a bit timid most of the time and in complete control of himself for the most part. He wants the best possible life for Daisy even if he doesn’t believe that he himself can give it to her so he is determined to help others see how very special she is. Matthew is easily likable and anyone who can stand up to Westcliff wins some respect in my book. “You don’t like Mr. Swift any more than I do,” she retorted. “No,” Lillian said frankly. “But much as I hate to admit it, that puts us in a minority. Swift is liked by everyone in the northern hemisphere, including Westcliff and his friends, my friends, the servants, the neighbors—”“You are exaggerating—” “—children, animals and the higher order of plants,” Lillian finished sardonically. “If root vegetables could talk, I’ve no doubt they would say they like him, too.” Also I enjoyed that fact that Daisy has to be more of the pursuer once she realizes that she maybe has some feelings for Matthew. He is bound and determined not to bring her into the potential mess his life could become and she practically has to seduce him. I really liked the change in romantic tactics in this book. I loved the way Daisy handled him into her ruinatiuon.. There are some very tender moments also that I enjoyed and I really loved that when Matthew’s past came to light the loyalty that was shown by all his friends. There is still the humor and side banter of all the Wallflowers and their husbands and as all the circles have grown to include a few more characters I really like where everything ended up. All and All I have had a really good time with this series and will probably try a few more books by LK.

4 STARS "A versatile flower, the daisy," Matthew commented, breaking the silence. "Lovely in its freshness and simplicity. I've always thought it went well in any kind of arrangement." Another wonderful story by Lisa Kleypas. And a sweet ending to the Wallflower series. I was really happy that she included the other characters in the book. And Daisy finally got her happy-ever-after ending. I felt that this one was a little bit more predictable than the first three novels. But I loved the characters. Daisy was a bit of a free spirit. Almost too much so for the time period. And a little bit of an exhibitionist. LOL. How scandalous. And Matthew Swift was just perfect for her.

This is my favorite book in the Wallflower Series. What a ride! I’m kind of crying right now, LOLOLOL! I can’t believe I read all 4 books in a week and now it’s over! It’s done. This series, as a whole, is an absolutely EPIC journey! It’s a 5 + star series that has the most incredible cast of characters. I love them so much and I’m so sad it’s over! Gah! I need to take a minute! LOL!

It was a popular belief in Victorian society that women, with their mercurial natures and lesser brains, could not have the same quality of friendship that men did. Only men could be loyal to each other, and only men could have truly honest and high-minded relationships. this has got to be one of the coolest gif's I've found. WTF is going on here?So, the Victorian asshats didn't think much of women, huh? Well, I say to them: The last of the Wallflowers finds her true love in this book. It is a cute story, but definitely not quite as good as the first three. It was just slightly less than the others. Less humor. Less dimension in the supporting characters. Less St. Vincent
