hi girls how are you?
I am Mai and like you an excessive consumer of Romances
I came to recommend The Wallflower Series by Lisa Kleypas .It involves the stories of 4 women who are considered by society as “wallflowers “ and have no hope of finding husbands. They are :
Anabelle Peyton:As beautiful as an English rose.She lives in genteel poverty.
Lilian and Daisy Bowman:The American rebels ! Daughters of a New York business man who is a millionaire but comes to England desperate to marry his rebellious daughter to a peer.
Lillian is cheerful and strong-willed while Daisy is like all of us a dreamer and an avid reader of romances.
Evie Jenner :Red- headed daughter of an owner of a gentleman clup .Her mother is a gentle lady. She is painfully shy and has a stuttering problem .Lives with her mother’s cruel family who abuse her .
The four of them join forces together to help each other find husbands! Each story is full of romance ,comedy and hot male leads .
What makes Ms.Kleypas unique in her own right is having these things :
Sexy gorgeous heroes .
Likeable heroines.
Wonderful Plot.
Steaming hot love scenes .
The right amount of humor .
The Tension between the hero and heroine !
Great supporting characters.
Accurate historical information.
sth new which is the introduction of the working class in the 19th Century .
No painful misunderstandings ,no annoying TSTL(too –stupid –to live heroines), no domineering heroes ,no I-hate-you-but-want –to sleep-with-you sort of thing .
By the end of the story you know and believe in your heart that the hero loves the heroine so deeply that it hurts!
Wallflower Series
Secrets of a Summer Night
Anabelle’s story)
Secrets Of A Summer Night is the first novel in my Wallflower series, about four young ladies who enter London society with one common goal: they must use their feminine wit and wiles to find a husband. So a daring husband-hunting scheme
Annabelle Peyton, determined to save her family from disaster, decides to use her beauty and wit to tempt a suitable nobleman into making an offer of marriage. But Annabelle's most intriguing--and persistent-- admirer, wealthy, powerful Simon Hunt, has made it clear that while he will introduce her to irresistible pleasure he will not offer marriage. Annabelle is determined to resist his unthinkable proposition... but it is impossible in the face of such skillful seduction.
Her friends, looking to help, conspire to entice a more suitable gentleman to offer for Annabelle, for only then will she be safe from Simon--and her own longings. But on one summer night, Annabelle succumbs to Simon's passionate embrace and tempting kisses... and she discovers that love is the most dangerous game of all

. It Happened One Autumn
Lillian’s story
"It Happened One Autumn" is the second installment in Lisa Kleypas's "Wallflower" series
which features as heroines four friends from Victorian England who band together in their search for eligible husbands. The heroine of "It Happened One Autumn" is the brash American heiress Lillian Bowman. Along with her younger sister Daisy and under the watchful eye of her social-climbing mother, Lillian has come to England in the hope of marrying into the British aristocracy. In the first book in the series ("Secrets of a Summer Night") Lillian clashed memorably with Lord Westcliff, a stuffy, autocratic member of the British peerage. In this book, Lillian and Westcliff are front and center in the story and their head-on collision and oil-and-water chemistry is a delight to behold.
Lillian is an excellent heroine--high-spirited, willful, bold, outspoken, uncomfortably direct and a bit cynical; she is a wealthy heiress by virtue of her father's business interests, but readily admits the fact that her grandmother was a dock washerwoman. Lillian is the antithesis of the demure, well-bred bride that Westcliff has always intended to choose as his countess. Westcliff, the survivor of a harsh childhood with a brutal, unloving father who groomed him to always do his duty to the earldom, is an unfailing honorable man but a bit of a prig. Westcliff has spent his life invariably doing the correct and proper thing and is appalled to find himself attracted to the American hoyden. The clashes between these two strong-willed people are tremendously entertaining, particularly watching the arrogant Westcliff completely lose his famously cool head when Lillian dares to defy him

Lisa Kleypas It Happened One Autumn
The Devil in Winter
Evie’s story
A devil's bargain
Easily the shyest Wallflower, Evangeline Jenner stands to become the wealthiest, once her inheritance comes due. Because she must first escape the clutches of her unscrupulous relatives, Evie has approached the rake Viscount St. Vincent with a most outrageous proposition: marriage!
Sebastian's reputation is so dangerous that thirty seconds alone with him will ruin any maiden's good name. Still, this bewitching chit appeared, unchaperoned, on his doorstep to offer her hand. Certainly an aristocrat with a fine eye for beauty could do far worse.
But Evie's proposal comes with a condition: no lovemaking after their wedding night. She will never become just another of the dashing libertine's callously discarded broken hearts -- which means Sebastian will simply have to work harder at his seductions...or perhaps surrender his own heart for the very first time in the name of true love.

Now my favorite :
Scandal in Spring
Daisy's story
After spending three London seasons searching for a husband, Daisy Bowman's father has told her in no uncertain terms that she must find a husband. Now. And if Daisy can't snare an appropriate suitor, she will marry the man he chooses—the ruthless and aloof Matthew Swift.
Daisy is horrified. A Bowman never admits defeat, and she decides to do whatever it takes to marry someone . . . anyone . . . other than Matthew. But she doesn't count on Matthew's unexpected charm . . . or the blazing sensuality that soon flares beyond both their control. And Daisy discovers that the man she has always hated just might turn out to be the man of her dreams.
But right at the moment of sweet surrender, a scandalous secret is uncovered . . . one that could destroy both Matthew and a love more passionate and irresistible than Daisy's wildest fantasies.
