April 2024 Book of the Month Recap Discussion - Chp. 12-End

🚨**SPOILER ALERT!!!**🚨
Marielle and Megan discuss chapters 12-End of April's BotM, The Wolf and the Wildflower by Stacy Reid.
*
James is waiting for Jules at the treehouse. They finally do the deed and it's so romantic, emotional, and HOT. 🔥
*
The next day, after everyone has gone to church, they walk home together and get down in the woods.🌲
*
They go to London for a night out with Linfield. They have fun, but when they end up at a brothel, things get interesting!
*
James can't imagine ever being with another woman besides his wildflower, but she can't imagine ever actually living as a woman. He confesses his love for her and asks her to marry him, but she can't give up everything she's worked for. It's heartbreaking.💔
*
After a few miserable days back at home, Jules is a mess. She receives a letter from James saying he's decided he can't live without her, and he's willing to live with her forever in her disguise if that's what she needs. She's so touched, and realizes that she's willing to give things up too.
*
She shows up at his ball, as her "cousin" Miss Juliana Southby. He's overjoyed at seeing her (especially after a misunderstanding due to a newspaper announcement!) and they dance the waltz together with everyone staring. Again. He asks her again to marry him, and she says yes.
*
A few days later she meets with her parents, and talks to her dad for the first time since her mom told him everything. It's everything she ever hoped it could be when she imagined him knowing the truth.
*
A sweet ending with James and Jules a year later running around their estate, doing whatever they want to. Because they're the Duke and Duchess of Wulverton, and they CAN. You love to see it!
