Fans of
historical romance authors Lorraine Heath and Sophie Jordan will adore
Vivienne Lorret's latest Wallflower Wedding novel.
Delaney McFarland is on the hunt for a husband—preferably one who needs her embarrassingly large dowry more than a dutiful wife. After the unspeakable incident at her debut, Delaney knows marrying for love is off the table, but a marriage of convenience—one that leaves her free to live the life she chooses—is the next best thing, never mind what that arrogant, devilishly handsome Mr. Croft thinks. Delaney plans to marry for money . . . or not at all.
Ever since the fiery redhead burst into his life—in a most memorable way—Griffin Croft hasn't been able to get Miss McFarland out of his mind. Now, with the maddening woman determined to hand over her fortune to a rake, Griffin knows he must step in. He must help her. He must not kiss her. But when Griffin's noble intentions flee in a moment of unexpected passion, his true course becomes clear: tame Delaney's wild heart and save her from a fate worse than death . . . a life without love.

So
when I saw the blog tour for another book the wonderful Vivienne Lorret's
Wallflower Wedding Series and I was SO excited, not only to read the story but
to be a part of the tour. Vivienne Lorret is such a wonderful writer and has
helped me fall in love with historical romance. Her first two books were
amazing and completely blew my mind. But then I read Finding Miss McFarland and
the story brought me to my knees, the power and emotions in this book are
amazing! Which lead me to say "Vivienne, where have you been all my (book
reading) life!
But
let’s start with a glimpse of the story shall we. So the book starts with a disastrous
debut and unfortunately it’s the debut of our heroine Delaney McFarland. To
cover the issues of the debut, Delaney's father just added more money to her
obscene dowry, but that doesn't some any issues, you see Delaney McFarland
needs a husband. But not for love, oh no! Delaney McFarland is looking for a
marriage of convenience (I know! switcharoo!), because she wants to be free to
follow her own pursuits (I'm not going to tell you what they are ;-))
But
then comes Griffin Cross (whom, in my head is the perfect man), a man who looks
beyond Delaney's wealth and even her disastrous debut and just sees her.
I
laughed, cried, snorted (I know, not pretty) and cheered my way through Finding
Miss McFarland, it was such a beautiful story and one that I have re-read 3
times. Each character in this book holds a special place in my heart and one I
would love to send to a dungeon somewhere (you will know who I mean when you
read the book). This book is pure goodness and a keeper for many years.
I give Finding Miss
McFarland 5 stars! It is a beautiful story and in my humble opinion, a timeless
historical romance classic!
