The "hero" was disturbingly pushy and overbearing at first - he seems the sort of guy who'd come very close to crossing the line with an uncooperative woman when drunk... (  ) kayceel | Jun 27, 2009 |  Delightful fluff and a quick read. An airy pick-me-up after too much reality and a dreary winter. Will Rafe Bowman, wealthy American cad, marry the beautiful, charming Lady Natalie or her poor cousin Hannah? You know from the beginning who his choice will be, but the short trip to the end is so much fun! (  ) Vidalia | Apr 4, 2009 | The major strength of Lisa Kleypas 'A Wallflower Christmas' is the likeability of the protagonists. Uncivilized American rake Rafe Bowman is at heart a charmer who can't help being drawn not to the wealthy English lady he's supposed to be courting, but to her penniless cousin/companion, Hannah. Both Hannah and Rafe are drawn as essentially good people who have had difficult lives. But it's their biting wit and strong sexual draw that make the sparks fly. The major question, will Rafe and Hannah get together, is of course answered by the genre, and there's really little plot or character development, yet it's a pleasant read. 'A Wallflower Christmas' will, of course, be of interest to those who have read the earlier books in the series, but this novella stands alone. I haven't read the others and enjoyed this one. My major complaint is one of marketing: $16.95 for 213 pages is a bit steep. ( )1  dianaleez | Apr 3, 2009 | Excellent good (  ) karenbrohm | Jan 28, 2009 | I really enjoyed this cute little addition to the Wallflower series. It was a perfect Christmas time read! It felt warm and cozy, like catching up with old friends or sipping hot chocolate in front of the fireplace. Definitely not a deep, inspiring read by any means, but I adore the Wallflowers and Natalie, the newest addition, isn't bad herself! ( ) eljabo | Dec 29, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review

The Wallflowers are four young ladies in London who banded together in their wild and wickedly wonderful searches for true love. Now happily married, they join together once again to help one of the world’s most notorious rogues realize that happiness might be right under the mistletoe.…
It’s Christmastime in London and Rafe Bowman has arrived from America for his arranged meeting with Natalie Blandford, the very proper and beautiful daughter of Lady and Lord Blandford. His chiseled good looks and imposing physique are sure to impress the lady in waiting and, if it weren’t for his shocking American ways and wild reputation, her hand would already be guaranteed. Before the courtship can begin, Rafe realizes he must learn the rules of London society. But when four former Wallflowers try their hand at matchmaking, no one knows what will happen. And winning a bride turns out to be more complicated than Rafe Bowman anticipated, especially for a man accustomed to getting anything he wants. However, Christmas works in the most unexpected ways, changing a cynic to a romantic and inspiring passion in the most timid of hearts.
A Wallflower Christmas takes a trip to Victorian London, under the mistletoe, and on a journey of the heart. With her trademark charm, sensuality, and unforgettable characters, there’s no one like Lisa Kleypas to make you believe in the magic of Christmas.
