The Wallflower Win

Eliza and Christopher’s antics made me laugh!

This is one of the best stories I’ve listened to in awhile. I was enthralled, giddy little smile plastered to my face. These two characters equally stole my heart. Saint is every book boyfriend dream in a tasty little package. He thinks himself ‘too unconventional’ in the bedroom but really he is absolute perfection and everything Eliza didn’t know she wanted. She is his perfect match on every score, meeting him head-on for every challenge, on and off the chess board. And omg! Don’t get me started on Eliza! Her tenacity knows no bounds and I absolutely LOVE it!! She is so bloody amazing! I love her obstinately forward persona and the fact that not a single thing is beyond the pale for her. She is bold, brash and oh so perfectly charming!! I was quite literally glued to my AirPods for this entire book. The narrator read each character with such delicious nuance, perfecting each reaction and line. This is my introduction to Valerie Bowman’s writing, and if they are all like this then my tbr just took a huge hit because I need them all!
