The Earl Not Taken by A.S. Fenichel

Poppy was one of a group of four girls that were sent to boarding school where they forged a bond and called themselves the Wallflowers.  One of her friends is to be married to a duke without ever having seen him.  Poppy makes it her mission to make sure that the prospective husband is an honorable man.  little did she know she was going to be aided by London's most unsuitable rake.

Rhys Draper, Earl of Marsden, has known Poppy since she was sent to boarding school with his sister.  Their first meeting was an utter disaster and branded Rhys an unsuitable rake in Poppy's eyes.  Rhys wants a chance to redeem himself and will help Poppy in her endeavors.  As they attempt to find out more about the prospective Duke husband, Rhys develops feelings for Poppy.  Can Poppy discover the man Rhys truly is and discover her own HEA?

I loved this book.  It was so well written.  While the book centers around Rhys and Poppy, the other Wallflowers play supporting characters.  I felt bad that Poppy misjudged Rhys.  Poppy was a strong character that stood on her own against her self-centered parents.  I liked the ending of the book and I can't wait for the next book in the series.
