Daisies and Devotion (Proper Romance Mayfield Family Regency) by Josi S. Kilpack
This is the second book in the “Mayfield Family series” and I enjoyed this one just as much as book 1. Typically I find the Regency period a little boring but I was pleasantly surprised with book 1, so I didn’t hesitate to read this story and I’m glad I did!
Timothy and Maryann were great characters and I loved their friendship and banter back and forth. I liked how Maryann kept challenging him and kept him on his toes which was rare during that time period-for women to speak their mind and have an opinion. It was fun to read their different courting catastrophes and the dating etiquette and expectations in that time period.
Peter and Julia are mentioned (from book 1) in the last part of this story, so it was great to hear how their marriage was progressing.
I really enjoyed reading this story and series-highly recommend!
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
Timothy Mayfield is ready to marry for love, but since his personal finances are thinner than he’d like, he knows he’ll also need a wife with wealth. After receiving an unexpected inheritance, Timothy’s circumstances change, and he is free to pursue his “perfect woman”—one with blonde hair, blue eyes, a light laugh, arched eyebrows, elegant fingers, and a dazzling smile, among nearly twenty other characteristics.
Maryann Morrington doesn’t match anything on Timothy’s list—except for wealth. An heiress in her own right, she is tired of men pursuing her only for her money. But at nearly twenty-two years old, and not a particularly stunning beauty, she can’t be as picky as her friend Timothy is.
The two friends end up playing matchmaker for each other. Timothy will find a decent gentleman for Maryann, and Maryann will prove to Timothy that his “perfect woman” doesn’t exist.
Until Miss Shaw comes to London.
Now, with Timothy’s heart captivated by the blonde, blue-eyed beauty, Maryann must decide if she should risk her heart and reveal her true feelings for her friend, or if she should settle for someone else. It’s an up-and-down game of “he loves me, he loves me not,” with both hearts and friendships on the line.
