First of all, the ending was perfect, because the series closed on the beautiful friendship among the wallflowers. It really warmed my heart.

“To friendship," Lillian said, her voice suddenly husky. And their four glasses clicked in one perfect moment.”

I loved the main relationship in this book, I loved that the hero was from a working class background, I loved the daisy-shaped diamond ring, I loved the chemistry, the meet-cute (she wished for the right man for her AND HE APPEARED… HOW PERFECT IS THAT), the button with her hair he was keeping, the way Daisy and Matthew challenged each other, EVERYTHING. I love that SHE seduced HIM, I loved the parlour games scene, I loved that the scandal in the title is not what I was expecting it to be, and I even loved the further characterisation of Mr Bowman.
This is now my favourite Wallflowers book. What a lovely ending.
