Product Description:
Four young ladies enter London society with one common goal: they must use their feminine wit and wiles to find a husband. So a daring husband-hunting scheme is born.
Annabelle Peyton, determined to save her family from disaster, decides to use her beauty and wit to tempt a suitable nobleman into making an offer of marriage. But Annabelle's most intriguing—and persistent—admirer, wealthy, powerful Simon Hunt, has made it clear that while he will introduce her to irresistible pleasure he will not offer marriage. Annabelle is determined to resist his unthinkable proposition . . . but it is impossible in the face of such skillful seduction.
Her friends, looking to help, conspire to entice a more suitable gentleman to offer for Annabelle, for only then will she be safe from Simon—and her own longings. But on one summer night, Annabelle succumbs to Simon's passionate embrace and tempting kisses . . . and she discovers that love is the most dangerous game of all.

I found Secrets of a Summer Night incredibly sweet! Although all the real romance is towards the end, once I got there I was like "Oh! God that's so sweet." The main characters have good chemistry and it shows in their dialogue and actions, especially when a certain kind of animal bite is involved. Yeah there were a few plot holes that I wished were filled, ex. Simon's decision to get married but overall I really liked this book. Oh, also the first love scene is again one of the sweetest things I've ... Read More

I generally love Kleypas' books. I like her style of writing, I like the character-driven romances. But the hero and heroine in this book were a bit... flat, lacking a certain believable chemistry. I found Anabelle to be somewhat disagreeable, unlikable. A very shallow, snobby creature who seems somewhat insipid compared with Simon. His character had a depth that was lacking in Annabelle. I couldn't see why he was attracted to her in the first place, and maybe that's why I didn't like the book. The secondary ... Read More

If I were a writer, this would have been a book I would have enjoyed writing. I suspect Ms. Kleypas smiled wholeheartedly after writing endearing scenes such as "rounders in knickers", "checkmate" or "champagne from slippers". And these are only three such scenes when there are so many I could mention. Overall the story was creative and novel in that it included funny, sad, tragic, loving and historically educational moments. If all's equal in writing style, these added themes have a far more likely chance of ... Read More

I really loved this book. The characters were all wonderful and I was hooked almost immediately. It was very refreshing to have a Hero fall first and boy was he determined. My only complaint was toward the ending. Sex, sex, sex! I'm not a prude but I do read these books for the romance and there was just page after page of sex in the last chapters. After the excessive fornication Lisa Kleypas gave a very solid ending. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Annabelle's family financial standing is in dire straits. As a result for the last couple seasons she has been relegated to wallflower status despite her obvious physical appeal and charm. She's 25 and the clock is ticking as this is the last season she will have to land herself a husband. She and three other wallflowers make a bargain and a plan to help each other find husbands, the oldest first. Not adverse to a little scheming and manipulating, the girls will do whatever it takes to find suitable husbands. ... Read More
