Previously appeared in the e-book anthology Five Golden Rings . USA Today bestselling author Vivienne Lorret revisits her Wallflower Wedding series with a delightful tale of friends-to-lovers, just in time for Christmas. Penelope Rutledge longs for passion, but only with the man of her the brilliant, dashing Ethan Weatherstone. If only her longtime neighbor would open his eyes and realize how much she loves him. If only they weren’t best friends with so much at stake. Penelope knows her future—and their friendship—is in her hands, but is she willing to take the biggest risk of all on the man she loves? If it were up to Ethan, life and love would be as predictable as the figures in his ledgers—certainly nothing like the adventures Penelope longs for. Yet his childhood friend has grown into a beautiful, feisty woman blissfully unaware of the danger she causes when near. Ethan knows he must save Penelope and her reputation … but can he save himself from the temptation of her lips?

Tempting Mr. Weatherstone is a beautiful Wallflower Wedding novella by Vivienne Lorret. The hero and heroine are almost OCD in their desire to live by a schedule and never divert for adventure. But when Penelope Rutledge desires a change, her best friend Ethan Weatherstone realizes that he is losing her. This novella is only nine chapters long and easily read at one sitting. There is one masterfully written steamy scene.  I thoroughly enjoyed this little historical romp. I can’t wait to read more by Ms. Lorret.
