A Treasured Lily

A Treasured Lily is the second book in A Marsden Romance series and is an enjoyable historical romance. This story is about Lilliana Marsden, daughter of Pia and Thor (A Flawed Jewel) and her journey to Charleston to run a plantation. She is headstrong and spoiled. Rand is the captain of the ship who agrees to transport Lily to her new life. This is a well-written short story with drama, twists, and a sweet romance. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Spoiled and always getting her way, Lilliana Marsden decides she wants to live in Charleston on a plantation. When her parents don’t take her seriously – or at least do nothing to help her achieve this – she decides to make it happen on her own. She finds an American, Randall Collins, who owns a shipping fleet, and convinces him to take her on his next voyage to America. He agrees if she will pay him with a kiss. The attraction deepens as they are travelling. Will Lilliana get the family plantation she has her mind set on without having to marry for her inheritance? Or will something – someone – else become more important to her along the way? Once again, this author has amazing stories to tell us. I love the humor and the strong female characters. Luckily for Rand, he seems like the type who may be able to make Lily happy without squashing her delightful spirit. Will he convince her that she should be his wife? Grab your copy and see what their futures hold for them!
