OK OK Deep secret reveal here.....I am a big time Historical Romance Fan....GASP...what you can't believe it??  Yes, I do love to read about the big puffy dresses and the "proper" manners while the girl from the wrong family falls for the handsome, bachelor ever single gold digging woman wants to marry.  I know I am a closet Historical Romance girl......so when this book came into our review emails , I JUMPED!!!  The Wallflowers by Lisa Kleypas is one of my most favorite series (thanks Susan).So this is a very short, easy and quick read but very adorable.  So basically Colin has a craptastic family life and is befriended by Matt.  Matt drags Colin home for the summer and in the first day he literally "catches" Catherine.  Well for 3 years she does everything imaginable to get his attention but he totally rebuffs her because Matt's Family is HIS family and he doesn't want to ruin anything......can you blame the guy???  Remember the part about a craptastic family life with his real family......Well now Colin has decided Catherine is of marrying age and he WILL marry her.  He begins courting her and it is rather funny how she can annoy and infuriate him.  Catherine has her doubts about his "true love" of her versus "marriage of convenience".My only complaint is I wish it was longer. Because it was a short story I feel like I missed a bit but I totally loved the story.  I would love to see the story developed more and see some more encounters with Colin and Catherine as they were 'dancing around their feelings" when they were younger.  But all in all, you don't miss anything of their feelings with the short story.
