The Wicked Wallflower by Tracy Sumner
5.0
Knee-weakening, life-altering love!
Nothing could sum it up better. A slow-burn that ignites every page! Words can not express how much I enjoyed this book. It is pure emotion. Having come to know and love Macauley since his beginnings in The Brazen Bluestocking, I knew Sumner would do his character justice in his own telling. Then watching the early connections with Pippa in The Scandalous Vixen, there seemed to be whispers of spark even in mundane interactions. Glimpsing everything they could be, Tracy Sumner took this beginning and wove it into a remarkable story of the most selfless unending love. I could go on and on about every little detail that made this book special, but that would most definitely give away what needs to be felt for yourself.
This story had all the feels, joy, anger, love and laughter. I found myself laughing out loud to tears falling. My heart clenching at moments, than bursting at others. Someone mentioned this as Frenemies to lovers, and I could not agree more. Their harsh banter while trying to deny their feelings is what makes the connection to the raw emotions. But what I love most is how Sumner carries forward past characters, giving you a glimpse at friends you fell in love with first, while still allowing the couple to take centre stage. Knowing that the Leighton Cluster is a family that loves and supports tirelessly, no story would be the same without that connection. I did not think any could overtake Tobias Streeter in my heart, but what is clear is there is no man like a Rookery Boy! You’ve outdone yourself Tracy Sumner! This deserves way more than 5 stars!
