My heart just went pitter-patter when I realized how closely he had been observing her over the years, so much so that he knew every detail about her, her likes and dislikes, the difficulties she'd had with her parents and the closeness with Lillian, and most of all what a wonderful woman she was when few other people seemed to see it. I think it was utterly sweet that Matthew fell in love at first sight (even though he didn't recognize it as such) and had been pining for Daisy ever since. I could tell right from the start though that there was much more to him than meets the eye. Daisy and Lillian seemed to have a preconceived notion that Matthew was an uncaring, ruthless businessman who is just like their father, simply because their father likes him so much and he is so good at being his right-hand man. It was amusing how his feelings for Daisy don't quite make sense to him in the beginning, and he simply wrote them off as mere lust. His logical nature can sometime make him seem a little cold, but underneath it all he has a very kind and sensitive heart. Highly intelligent and a whiz with numbers, he's a force to reckoned with in the business world. For me, that was a good thing, because I adore betas. Kleypas is known for her sexy alphas, so Matthew is something of a departure from the norm. He is probably the closest Lisa Kleypas has come to writing a beta hero, and perhaps that's why I don't see a lot of love being expressed for the character. Everything just came together to create an emotional story that is definitely a keeper for me.Īlthough I adore Marcus ( It Happened One Autumn), Matthew has at the very least, tied him, but may have nudged ahead just a bit, as my favorite hero of the series. I suppose the ending was a tad bit rushed, but not enough to be unsatisfying.

The secondary characters were fabulous too, and there was also some decent suspense created by the wait to see what secret Matthew was keeping and what the fall-out from it might be. I also felt that the characterizations were more well-drawn, or at least, the characters were more relatable for me. The couple had a sweet, tender relationship with plenty of deeply romantic moments. Both the hero and the heroine were extremely likable which wasn't necessarily the case for me with the first three books. As such, I wasn't sure what to expect going into it, but now that I've finished it, I'm going to go against the grain again, by saying that in my opinion, it is the best book amongst the original quartet. Based on the ratings I've seen at various book-related sites and the fact that I rarely see it mentioned as a fan favorite, it would seem that Scandal in Spring is possibly the least favorite book for most readers of the series.

Until now, the Wallflower series has been pretty good but not 100% satisfying for me like it has been for so many other readers.

To marry Daisy would be a dream come true, but Matthew simply cannot make her his wife with the sordid secrets of the past still hanging over his head. He can barely stand to be in the same room with Daisy without wanting to sweep her into his arms and make passionate love to her. When Matthew is called to England, he assumes it is strictly business, only to discover that there is more to the trip than meets the eye. Matthew has been in love with Daisy from the moment they met seven years earlier, but he harbors a dark secret which could ruin the life he has worked so hard to build. He's a hard-working, intelligent young man who knows the business inside out. Matthew Swift has been a right-hand man to Daisy's father for years. Daisy would rather marry anyone other than her father's choice, but may find Matthew to be an unexpected surprise. Daisy's relationship with her father has always been strained, and she remembers Matthew as nothing more than a carbon copy of her ambitious businessman sire who never had time for his children. Tired of paying for extravagant gowns and parties in an attempt to make a match for her, Daisy's father gives her an ultimatum: Find a husband within two months or marry the man of his choosing, Matthew Swift.
