My thoughts: You know of course that I love the Quilts of Love series and that I’m always happy to read the newest one. Well right now the newest is Masterpiece Marriage! It’s a great read! I love the setting of the book and the fact that we get to meet a meddlesome aunt as well a young sophisticate from England. Or is she really English? What is her role really and who is she? And the most pressing question, why would you name a child Zenus? Or maybe that’s just me that wants to know that! Mary wants to do some unconventional things while Zenus desires his Aunt’s help to save his textile mill. But not for the conventional reasons. He doesn’t care for himself but for the women with young children he employs. What will his Aunt require in exchange for helping him? Will he find out how to use his heart to think before he loses his love? I really enjoyed this book and was pleased with the ending though I’m ready for a sequel already!

Just from reading your first paragraph I can tell that this is a book worth reading. It really touched me because my grandmother would quilt when I was a young child and tell me stories while doing so. Very intriguing and I hope to read it soon.
