It Happened One Autumn is the story of Lillian Bowman, a bold and headstrong American heiress, and Marcus, Lord Westcliff, the most eligible peer in England. But even though Lillian is hunting for a husband, Marcus is the last man she would ever consider marrying.


In this scene from “It Happened One Autumn”, Marcus, Lord Westcliff, finds the impetuous American heiress Lillian Bowman in the library. Although he has so far resisted the temptations of a woman who is entirely unsuitable for him, he is no longer able to control his desire for her . . .

What I Think :

I Fell in love with the Lilian Bowman character when I read the first wallflower series. She's a rich american heiress, with a lot of money, but naver ashmed of admitting that her grandma was a dock washer. She's a foul mouthed women, headstrong, and a sharp minded, which are the quality that Marcus, the earl of westcliff detested most. But somehow, she gets into her skin real quickly.

The story was fast paced, with a lot of witty lines along the way, and it's fun to read how Marcus little by little soften his heart towards Lilian, and how he finally admitted that maybe she's the kind of woman the he may need ... big time.

While on the other hand, Lilian, who's impulses seldom get her into trouble, learns that Marcus is more than what he appears to be, he's more sensitive and more of the kind of person that Lilian looking for... all in all... a match made in heaven.

4/5

Love of the way Lilian talk to Marcus, in the age of victorian, I think the way she talks really present a modern woman nowdays....
