The Wallflower’s Dance is a sweet friend to lovers’ love story centred around tongue-tied Lottie and Denny who has been the best of friends since they were children. Each story is unique, captivating, and memorable. I have to say that I love all three of them and would definitely read more books by these talented authors. To Kiss A Wallflower is a book that contains three sweet, fun Regency romances. I really love reading a book that is full of short stories, because it usually means I am going to be introduced to a lot of wonderful characters and get to experience a variety of different love stories.
