Underestimating Miss Cecilia (Regency Brides: Daughters of Aynsley #2) (Review)
My Review
The Queen of Regency Romance has done it again! The second title in the Daughters of Aynsley series impresses as much as the first title does. When you are in love with the boy next door, for quite a while, let me tell you and he makes no move but you feel like he really does have feelings for you well, it's beyond frustrating! We all know how frustrating it can be waiting for the man to make the first move, especially when he flirts with other women of the ton and acts like you are just sister material. What will happen if she decides to just let go and let God, putting all matters into his hands? I love Carolyn Miller's writing style, her realistic characters and situations and can not wait to read Cecelia's sister Verity's story! The obvious research the author puts into her work makes for very realistic and enjoyable stories. Expected publication: July 23rd 2019 by Kregel Publications I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.
GoodReads Summary
Cecilia Hatherleigh has many secrets in her shy, sweet heart--but none bigger than her unrequited love for Edward Amherst, the earl's son next door. Her love has persevered over many years, even when he grows to be a bit of a rake. Yet despite his fondness for females, he never seems to see her as anything more than the quiet younger sister, and nothing Cecy does has changed that. Rather than pining after his perhaps unworthy love, she decides to turn her focus toward living out her newfound faith. Now she's determined to follow God's leading to make a better world for the poor and dispossessed around her. A London riot awakens Edward to the responsibilities due his family name. It's time to turn his life around to please his noble father--and that means restoring his abandoned legal career and making a marriage of convenience. Neither will be easy, given his past and the prejudices of the upper echelons of society to which he belongs. When misadventure strikes at a house party, these two are thrown together even as their lives are upended. If Cecy can't trust God, overcome her shyness, and find her inner strength, the good work they've both done may be for naught-and neither will ever find true love . . . Well known for her authentic Regency romances set against less-explored, true historical backgrounds, best-selling author Carolyn Miller continues her newest series with a clean, wholesome tale sure to please her many fans.
