The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . HOW TO WOO A WALLFLOWER (Romancing the Rules, #3) . . . Enemies-to-romance-to-lovers-to-more. Clarissa (Clary) wanted to only make things better for the working poor of her community. She had the opportunity to do so with the death of her father and the inheritance that he left her. She just knew she could do a lot of good. There was a catch. She had to be married to receive a single shilling of that inheritance. Clary had not intentions on ever marrying but now that plan has been changed to find a man should could marry. In comes the manager, Gabriel, of her family’s paper. He was paired with her to show her the ropes and keep her out of troubles. So that was the plan. Plans have a way of not going the way you planned.

Gabriel and Clary have a way of dealing with each other to get though the day. That was until that kiss. That one thing neither should have been thinking to do. Then it was time to learn more about Gabriel and his life before. A life that may just cause more harm. Gabriel had become the office manager of the Ruyhaven Publishing. He had thought he left the life behind him but find that it was just on hiatus. He desires to marry a plan boring woman went out the door when he finds a connection with Clary.

I did not find much connection to the other stories from this series, but I did enjoy the read regardless and felt the premise went along well with the Romancing the Rules.

BLURB

An Unconventional Wallflower…

Clarissa Ruthven was born to be a proper lady, but she’s never wanted to live up to the expectations her late father set. Determined to use her inheritance to help the less fortunate women of London, she’s devastated to learn that she won’t be inheriting anything until she marries, a fate she has no interest in. Unwilling to let go of her plans, Clary works at Ruthven Publishing for Gabriel Adamson, a man who’s always hated her. She’s always returned the feeling, but as she begins to turn her family’s publishing company upside down, she finds herself unable to forget her handsome boss.

Never Follows the Rules…

Gabriel Adamson believes in order. He certainly doesn’t believe Clary should be sticking her nose in the publishing company, and she definitely has no business invading his every thought. But Gabe soon finds he can’t resist Clary’s sense of freedom or her passionate kisses and he starts to crave everything she’s willing to give him.

Especially When It Comes to Love…

When Gabe’s dark past comes back to haunt him, he’ll do anything to make sure that Clary isn’t hurt…even if it means giving up the only woman he’s ever loved.
