Just Lie Back and Think Of The Bank Account

Wherein we discuss Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas - book one in her Wallflowers series of historical romance novels. Maude shares the sweet origins of her love for the genre, and we explore tropes galore, the problematic mores of Victorian high society, and one character's hysterically bad attempt to prepare her daughter for the wedding night. Oh, and we get a character's name wrong for almost the entire episode. (It's Westcliff, not Westfield. Sorry Lisa!) Support us on Patreon!
