A group of wallflowers band together to find one another husbands and forge a beautiful friendship in the process. Secrets of a Summer night follows Annabelle and Simon and I just loved watching their relationship evolve. The story starts slow because you have to get the backstory on the four women and they need to come together to figure out their plan and set it in motion, but I feel like around the halfway point it really picked up.

Scenes where the hero has to take care of the heroine and she's just completely resistant? *Swoon*. And when Simon said to Annabell, "Sweetheart, I would take you to the ends of the earth if you asked," I literally melted. The end of the book set up the next story perfectly. I've already started it and can't wait to see what happens.
