Title: Not Kleypas' best
Review: I was really geared up for a new novel from Lisa Kleypas,a dn the idea of the Wallflower series was good. Unfortunately the execution so far isn't up to Kleypas' usual standard.Annabelle is a difficult heroine to like--she's a snob and somewhat unethical, willing to do almost anything to snare a rich husband. Simon is okay, but not the dreamy heroes Kleypas usually conjurs up.Kleypas is usually steamy, but the love scenes here seemed forced. Worse, the entire books is shallow, superficial, much like the heroine. It's slow and makes for a long read. A real disappointment. In fact, as I've written this review, I've lowered the rating. It's only 2 & 1/2 and comparing it to some many other, better works, I'm downgrading it from a 3 to a 2.
Is the review positive or negative?
