Lana J. Weston
Pretty and popular, Miss Clare Westmore knows exactly what (or rather, who) she wants: the next Duke of Harrington. But when she twists her ankle on the eve of the Season's most touted event, Clare is left standing in the wallflower line watching her best friend dance away with her duke.
Dr. Daniel Merial is tempted to deliver more than a diagnosis to London's most unlikely wallflower, but he doesn't have time for distractions, even one so delectable. Besides, she's clearly got her sights on more promising prey. So why can't he stop thinking about her?
All Clare wants to do is return to the dance floor. But as her former friends try to knock her permanently out of place, she realizes with horror she is falling for her doctor instead her duke. When her ankle finally heals and she faces her old life again, will she throw herself back into the game?
Or will her time in the wallflower line have given her a glimpse of who she was really meant to be?

Any additional comments?
I purchased this audio book right after its release. I love wallflowers and spinsters so I was hoping for a good story. I tried many times to listen to it but just couldn't get into it due to the heroine, Claire and her awful friends...One could say they were the Victorian version of Mean Girls. Once I got past the 1.5 hour mark, I was engrossed!Claire had one goal in mind; to become a Duchess. She's has had her eye on the heir to a Dukedom for sometime now. She's the cream of the crop along with her snobbish friends Sophie and Rose. Everything is going as planned until she sprains her ankle and is forced to be absent from the ton. How will she ever catch her Duke if she's at home with her foot propped up on a pillow? Unfortunately, this could be the least of her worries. Fate, secrets and rumors have a way of changing ones outlook.
Enter Dr. Daniel Merialis. He's a handsome doctor who is working on trying find a perfect method of administering Anesthesia. He's been rejected so far but is currently working on an experiment that is very promising. Due to a frail patient, he was invited to a ball and he notices that Claire is limping. Offering assistance backfires as she insults him for the most part. However, she does decide to allow him to look at her ankle and care for her as she heals. He's drawn to her immediately, despite the difference in their station. He knows that nothing can ever come of it but there's something about her that intrigues him. Dare he hope?
Once Daniel comes into Claire's life, she starts to thaw even when she doesn't want to. We see the smart, witty, curious, funny Claire (actually, I felt that she was always this way but she felt that she had to be a snob in order to secure her future). It was a believable transformation and she grew so much throughout the book. They have a great chemistry and the dialogue is very witty and entertaining at times. As a reader, I knew there would be a HEA but I was still nervous!
Despite her conflicting feelings, Claire still has aspirations to be a Duchess so she ruthlessly tries to remove Daniel from her life. Additionally, she has noticed something odd going on with her parents (Claire realizes this early in the book when she walks in on something that has the ability to fuel the gossips for weeks). She's not sure if her friends are her friends and now rumors are now flying around the ton about her... All of her carefully laid plans are on the cusp of being ruined!
I promise you, this book was great. I loved her siblings, Jeffrey and Lucy. I loved the relationship they had. I also liked her parents. The thing about this family is, it felt so much like a normal family. Yes, they were part of the ton but they were different. There are many secrets, possibly scandals and intrigue in this story but all very well done. When sparks start to fly and secrets become reality, what will happen to Claire, Daniel and her family?
Read it to find out.

The somewhat crazy quilt ending was well done and I loved it. Family is family and love is always there, no matter what. Pass the tissue!
This book will steal your heart

The story line and plot was good. I liked that he was a doctor and inventor. A nice twist to HR instead of a Duke. There was lots of great dialogue throughout the entire book. I love lots of dialogue.
As for the narration. Well, Lana Weston REALLY REALLY needs to work on her men's voices. They all sound like women. At times I had rewind to see who was talking. She also reads a bit slow and needs to speed it up and use a bit more emotion when reading. She does have a nice reading voice that doesn't grate on the ear nerves, so there is that. I want to listen to the next book but I am hesitant because of this narrators mens voices. Sigh..
Good story, not a very good narration.
