Second Mayfield Family Regency Romance As Diverting As the First
12:08 PM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
The Season is the time to show off the beauty and social graces of London's newest crop of debutantes. Maryann Morrington doesn't have much of either, but the 22-year-old does possess a hefty inheritance. Despite her advanced age, her money is more than enough to draw a crowd of suitors to her side. Well aware that, for most men, her wealth is her most appealing asset, Maryann nevertheless longs to marry a gentleman who appreciates her for her.

Unbeknownst to Timothy, Maryann regards her friend as much more than just a pal or, heaven forbid, an older brother. When Timothy meets Miss Shaw, a young woman who seems to fit his every requirement for a flawless mate, Maryann knows she must give up any fantasy involving herself and the man she loves. Timothy will never see her as anything more than a steady companion and trusted advisor. Or will he? Caught in a confusing game of "he loves me, he loves me not," Maryann must learn to trust her own heart before it is crushed to pieces. Again.
I enjoyed Promises and Primroses, the first book in Josi S. Kilpack's Mayfield Family series, so I was eager to give the second installment a go. Like its predecessor, Daisies and Devotion offers a light, entertaining story that's clean, uplifting, and fun. I like my Regency romances short and sweet, so this one ran a little long for me. Still, overall, I enjoyed it and will definitely continue with the series.
(Readalikes: Promises and Primroses by Josi S. Kilpack; also reminds me of proper romances by Sarah M. Eden, Jennifer Moore, and Julianne Donaldson)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for very mild innuendo
To the FTC, with love: I received an ARC of Daisies and Devotion from the generous folks at Shadow Mountain in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!

This makes me think of Jane Austen novels.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the back of this one I thought it sounded like fun. I'm glad it didn't disappoint.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was an enjoyable story. Nice review. I am not a big Regency Romance lover or I might have picked this one up.
