How the Wallflower Was Won

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it. I have not read the first book of this series. While those characters make multiple appearances, I didn't need to in order to understand this story. I loved that this book was written in a dual POV format. Getting glimpses into the character's thoughts during and/or after a scene really help me to better connect to the character. I will say that there were times when Tabitha's intellect was over-the-top. I almost wanted to skip some sections but forced myself to read it through. I didn't want to miss something else that may prove to be necessary to understand later on. I adored Finn! I wanted to cry and hug him several times throughout the story. Having a problem reading can be hard on someone. The author did a wonderful job in really showing the suffering that he went through to highlight how one’s disability could affect other aspects. Tabitha was a delight until about the last portion of the story. She never communicated with Finn her history so when something Finn says is taken the wrong way, she fled! I really lost a lot of respect for the character, especially one of her supposed intellect. I mean how can someone say innocent words not knowing how they could possibly affect someone if that someone NEVER communicated about a past event? This is a very steamy story with some vulgar language so if you do not care for it, well you decide.
