Eventually, all wallflowers have their chance at love...This is where it begins.
'The Wallflower's Dance' by Jen Geigle Johnson
Lottie Hughes likes people, as long as they aren't too close. Does it bother her that no one asks her to dance? Yes, but she's not sure how to drum up dance partners when she has almost no dowry, no title, and freezes up when anyone tries to talk to her. When she suddenly inherits a huge amount and is the new center of attention all over London, her secret dreams might come true but also her worst nightmares. Suddenly everyone wants to talk to her. Men ask her to dance. And she is inundated with interested suitors. She fights to stay close to the few friends she knows are true. One man saw her before her life changed forever. But does she want to accept his help when he, too, might be insincere?
'Letters to a Wallflower' by Heather B. Moore
Ellen might be beautiful and considered a diamond of the first water by Society, but she is so very tired of the pressure to marry a titled gentleman so that her beauty won’t go to waste. When her cousin Dinah dares Ellen to attend a ball with no frills and to stand with the wallflowers, Ellen takes on the dare. What’s in the wager for her? The prize cuttings of her aunt’s extraordinary roses. But what Ellen isn’t expecting is Lord Ravenshire to engage her in the most interesting conversation. When she confesses to him of her opposition in marrying for a title, he confesses his distaste of the London scene. They strike a bargain together, one which will either push them apart or lead to a future sweeter than either of them could have imagined.
'To Marry a Wallflower' by Anneka R. Walker
Charlotte Winters is destined to spinsterhood until she turns down an unwanted proposal and everything changes. With gossip rampant, her father attempts to salvage her reputation by betrothing her to another. Soon she is sent off to her aunt’s to meet Lord Templeton, her intended. Anxiety-ridden, Charlotte begs her aunt to let her observe Lord Templeton from afar before their introduction. She never planned to pretend to be her fictional cousin to learn more about him, or to fall in love with Lord Templeton’s friend in the process. Lord Templeton dreads returning to the empty halls of Newcliff Manor. When his father’s old friend, Mr. Winters reaches out for assistance, Lord Templeton finds himself returning home engaged to a woman he has never met. Desperate to learn more about Miss Winters, he befriends her cousin. He wouldn’t have spoken to her, or lied about his identity, if he’d known the quiet woman would sneak into his heart.

This anthology was just–so good!

All three authors delivered some very sweet, very on-point romance that fit the theme and made me want to pick up more books in this same vein.

In Johnson’s, The Wallflower’s Dance, Lottie is an awkward wallflower who doesn’t seem to be able to speak to the opposite sex–with one exception–her best friend since childhood. But when Lottie inherits money, she’s not sure if the men now interested in her are interested for the right reasons.

This story was a friends-to-lovers romance and I felt so satisfied and happy at the end with the way the love story grew!

In Moore’s Letters to a Wallflower, Ellen isn’t a typical wallflower. Until one night, because of a bet with her cousin, does she decide to play down her looks and attempt to become one. However, she ends up meeting Lord Ravenshire who, while wowed by her beauty, isn’t really looking for a wife, either. These two both have some distractions in their lives that keep them from wanting to settle down. And watching their friendship blossom into something more was just so fantastic. This couple was perfect for each other!

Walker’s To Marry a Wallflower is about Charlotte, who gets her name and reputation tarnished due to a scorned suitor. With no other options, a young friend of her father’s, Lord Templeton, decided to marry her–sight unseen. What follows is humorous and destined for failure as Charlotte, playing the part of a cousin, meets and gets to know Lord Templeton without him realizing it’s her. This was another fabulous story that ended with a perfectly done ending and was completely satisfying.

These are all very clean reads with just some slight kissing. The stories of love and friendship carry the tales to a place of romance in a time when men were gentlemen and women had few options.
