Wealthy Lucy Penhallow prefers to avoid the dance floor and the flattery of fortune hunters. Instead, she finds herself entwined in a mystery when she witnesses a crime alongside Viscount Gilford, her best friend’s brother. As they seek Vera Blackwoood, a missing American heiress, their initial alliance transforms into a budding romance, complicated by societal expectations and the threat of a killer lurking in the shadows. Viscount Gilford faces financial ruin and needs an heiress to secure his future, making Lucy—who is off-limits—an unexpected target of his affections. The narrative balances humor, suspense, and romance, ultimately leading to a satisfying conclusion where love triumphs amidst chaos.
Readers will be drawn to A Wallflower’s Guide to Viscounts and Vice for its engaging blend of historical romance, mystery, and witty dialogue. The chemistry between Lucy and Viscount Gilford is palpable, offering a delightful enemies-to-lovers dynamic. Collins excels at crafting strong, relatable female characters, making Lucy’s journey both empowering and entertaining. With unexpected twists and a lighthearted tone, the novel provides a perfect escape into a world where love conquers all, ensuring readers are left eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series. The charming backdrop of the 1800s, combined with a thrilling plot, also celebrates female friendships and resilience. The book focuses more on romantic tension and emotional connection rather than explicit scenes. It's a great weekend read if you are looking for a historical romance. I also love supporting librarians turned authors!
