Publisher's summary

Timothy Mayfield has nearly given up on his search for a wife. Though he is the picture of a fine, social gentleman, Timothy wishes his finances provided a more stable foundation. Then his Uncle Elliott presents to him a solution: participate in his "marriage campaign," and upon approval of his choice for a wife, Timothy's inheritance will be his.

Freed from the constraints of having to marry for money, Timothy is ready to marry for love instead. And he knows exactly what he wants in a wife: youth, optimism, beauty, blonde hair, fine-boned features, shapely shoulders, small waist, blue eyes, button nose, solid fashion sense, a light laugh, low voice, arched eyebrows, fair skin, elegant fingers, quick wit, calm manner, and a dazzling smile.

His friend, Maryann Morrington, an heiress in her own right, tells him outright that his expectations are ridiculous - no such woman exists. Maryann had considered Timothy as a potential suitor for a time, but then their relationship shifted to friendship, and she has avoided allowing herself to have feelings for him again.

She agrees to help him find his "perfect wife," because she's certain that the search will render nothing. Until it does. Miss Shaw appears to fulfill every single item on Timothy's list - unlike Maryann who has brown hair, brown eyes, lacks delicate features, and possesses a laugh that is definitely unladylike.

But when Timothy and Miss Shaw begin courting, Timothy realizes something profound. He'd rather spend his time with Maryann. But can he trust his judgment when his heart has led him wrong so many times before?

It is only when Maryann leaves the London season early, that Timothy realizes that he had truly fallen in love with her and that his list of requirements were nothing but fantasy. If he hopes to build a strong relationship, Timothy must convince Maryann that she is the very woman he'd been looking for all along - before it is too late.

Sweet and chaste. Beautifully romantic.

Sweet and chaste. Beautifully romantic. As with all romance novels, you know the ultimate ending within the first chapter, but its the route that it takes to get there that carries the weight.

Made me think

This was a great 2nd installment to the series. Timothy and Maryann had a great friendship. They were honest from the beginning and I feel like that gave the book a very interesting twist. The book made me think about things I hadn't before, such as how a man learned to be a gentleman and manage his estate with no one to teach him those things. I really loved Maryann as a character. She's flawed and wants to make sure everyone knows it, because that's real and normal.

Love the “not so perfect” woman!

So nice to have a protagonist that is not a bombshell beauty. What a wonderful love story, and again (as usual) a terrific narration by Justine Eyre. I pick all of my audible books by the narrator now, and she is one of my top choices. I hope this author is paired with another great narrator, because I really did enjoy this book.

If you love; Love this book is for you

I like a nice easy read that I can follow and where I can easily identify each character. This is the second book in this series and I’m hooked

Unique storyline

I love a strong female character, and I love this one. She was confident, intelligent , and empathetic without being overbearing.
The storyline was great too!

Clean Romance

The characters had good depth. Not cut and dry...enough story line to keep you on your toes.

Great series

I've heard the first three and can't wait to hear the fourth. The first one is my favorite so far but this one is still excellent. Loved the storyline. The narration is beyond fantastic. This was a charming book

Lovely story, very laid back.

Justine Eyre was great as always! The story was lovely, very laid back. Innocent if you're looking for a nice little love story such as this.

Book 2 is better than 1

I enjoyed both books from this series but the characters in book two grew more and seem truly suited for a happy ending together.
