Carolyn Miller has done it again! She continues to delight with her Regency tales. Underestimating Miss Cecilia the story of Cecelia Hatherleigh's quest for love. For years she has loved Ned Amherst, her next door neighbor, but he only sees her as a sister. Her parents have forbidden Cecelia to have anything to do with him after he was involved in a scandal that rocked the Ton.
I love Miss Miller's style of writing. She creates realistic characters and situations. She has obviously researched Regency life. I also love the way she weaves faith in God throughout the story in a natural way. I can't wait to read Cecelia's sister Verity's story! So make a pot of tea and some cucumber sandwiches and settle in for a great read!
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher with no expectations. All thoughts are my own!
From Amazon:
Shy, sweet Cecilia Hatherleigh has always been in love with Edward Amherst, the boy next door. Yet he’s never seen her as anything but the quiet girl in the background as he flirts with the other vivacious women of the ton.
When a near tragedy brings Edward’s attention to his family duties, this prodigal son decides he needs to settle down with a proper wife. Cecilia hopes to convince him to choose her—but God may want her to forget the wayward nobleman and put her future in His hands alone.
These two try to find their way toward happiness, but prejudice, political riots, and the changing face of England’s societal structures begin to block them at every turn. Can their struggles turn to triumph—or will their paths permanently diverge?
