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!
