Book Review By Steph
The Rake and the Wallflower by Allison Lane

Shy bookworm Mary and her vain sister Laura are being given a Season in London by their older sister. Laura quickly amasses a bevy of suitors, but Mary dislikes the rush to catch a husband. At a party, she accidentally bumps into Lord Grayson, and they form an unlikely friendship. Although she quickly falls for Grayson, she considers herself too plain and clumsy for him.

Laura, unaware of Mary's love for Grayson but intrigued by his shady past, sets out to trap him into proposing to her. Mary and Grayson fight against Laura's schemes, and try to solve the mystery of who is secretly trying to harm him.
