Synopsis:
Timothy Mayfield is ready to marry for love, but, since his personal finances are thinner than he’d like, he knows he’ll also need to find a wife with wealth. After receiving an unexpected inheritance, Timothy’s circumstances change, and he is free to pursue his “perfect woman”—one with blonde hair, blue eyes, a light laugh, arched eyebrows, elegant fingers, and a dazzling smile, among nearly twenty other characteristics.
Maryann Morrington doesn’t match anything on Timothy’s list—except for wealth. An heiress in her own right, she is tired of men pursuing her only for her money. But at nearly twenty-two years old, and not a particularly stunning beauty, she can’t be as picky as her friend Timothy is.
The two friends end up playing matchmaker for each other. Timothy will find a decent gentleman for Maryann, and Maryann will prove to Timothy that his “perfect woman” doesn’t exist.
Until Miss Shaw comes to London.
Now, with Timothy’s heart captivated by the blonde, blue-eyed beauty, Maryann must decide if she should risk her heart and reveal her true feelings for her friend, or if she should settle for someone else. It’s an up-and-down game of “he loves me, he loves me not” with both hearts and friendship on the line.

I love that the women in the Mayfield Family series are not flat or boring. They are smart, strong, and beautiful women that want to be appreciated and loved. Such is also the case for Maryann. She knows she must find a suitable husband, but finding one that wants her for more than just her money proves to be challenging.
Seeing Timothy’s priorities change once he receives his inheritance was pretty interesting. Though I didn’t care for some of the choices he made, overall I liked him. He has a silly side to him, but he can also be serious when warranted. Timothy is very smart when it comes to handling his business affairs, though matters of the heart are a different subject.
Maryann and Timothy’s friendship is so natural and easygoing. I enjoyed seeing them interact with one another. Them agreeing to find a match for each other was a fun and unique aspect to the story. It’s not long before their friendship is put to the test and Maryann and Timothy must decide whether they will follow their heads or their hearts in the process. And if the result will be worth it.
Daisies and Devotion was a cute historical romance story. Having read and very much enjoyed the previous book, Promises and Primroses I knew I had to see what was in store for the next member of the Mayfield family. I was not disappointed. The characters were easy to like, and the story was engaging. If you are a fan of clean historical romances than I recommend you give this book and this series a read.
RATING: 4 OUT OF 5.
