Daisies and Devotion

In the second novel of the Mayfield Family series by Josi Killpack, titled 'Daisies and Devotion', Timothy Mayfield is ready to find a wife. He wishes to marry for love, but his finances are low and he knows that he must marry for wealth as well. When he suddenly comes into a fortune, his dreams of marrying his "perfect women" are now within his grasp. He has a very long list of what his future wife must look like, and how she must act.

Timothy's dear friend, Maryann Morrington, is a very wealthy women, who is tired of men chasing after her for her fortune. At age 22 she can't really afford to be picky, but finding her match seems impossible. Timothy and Maryann decide to team up to find each other's life long companions. Maryann tries convincing Timothy that his ideal women is a fantasy, but then a certain Miss Shaw, comes to London, and all of a sudden Timothy's dream becomes reality. Maryann tries to be happy for her friend, but she is battling intense emotions of her own, and is worried that she will never marry but become a spinster.

I really enjoyed this book. I didn't think it was as good as the first one, but it was another proper romance novel that I liked reading. I especially loved the "realness" of  Maryann and Timothy. Their flaws and little quirks really made me fall in love with the characters. Josi Kilpack has definitely become one of my favorite authors and I can not wait for the next book in the Mayfield Family series.
