Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas

5.0

My second book from the author & series. I really loved Simon Hunt - how he’s self made, how he distinguishes himself by not pretending to be something he’s not while not shying away from acknowledging the need to be amicable to the aristocracy; his farsightedness in economics to his shrewd business tactics. Loved the complexities of his character and the internal dilemma about his feelings and being on the road to understand them.
Annabelle Peyton - liked the character development; loved the internal conflict about her feelings; the push and the pull between the societal norms and her changing ideals in a new world. She might come off as snobbish at first but really liked how she pulled through and understood her feelings and her newfound place at the end of the book.
