How the Wallflower Was Won – Quickie Book Review

Hot, hot, hot

How the Wallflower was Won by Eva Leigh started a little strangely, not slowly. Just strange. I didn’t realize when I started reading the book that it was number 2 in a series. It took getting past the first chapter and getting into the second chapter to introduce the main character, Tabitha – the aforementioned wallflower.

The setup is interesting since I was uncertain who to root for in the beginning. Finn is trying to set up his brokenhearted friend Dom with Tabitha. They need to find wives asap, but Dom is apparently more desperate, and Finn can wait. At first, I want to root for Dom, but he barely registers, and then it becomes clear that, despite Finn not thinking of finding himself a wife, he and Tabitha just click, and they end up making a go for it. By the middle of the book, I was invested in the characters and happy to see how they turned out. Did I mention the sex?

The scorch level of this story is high – like forest fire hot level sex, so that’s fun. Good times.

I don’t know if the first book had more backstory, or if the writer assumed that I would understand what their motivation was, but the first chapter was off-putting, and I almost thought about not finishing the book. Glad that it got better. The author’s choice of wording was strange, and there were some seriously obsequious vocabulary choices, but I made it through. I liked it well enough in the end. Maybe I’ll go back and read the first. Maybe.

How the Wallflower was Won by Eva Leigh is available on Amazon and other retailers.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced electronic copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
