A Treasured Lily is the second book in the Marsden Romance series and is about Liliana (Lily) Marsden. If you have read book one then you met Lily’s parents Pia and Thor. In this book Lily, determined to make her way to the American plantation her mother grew up on, convinces Randall (Rand) Collins to take her. I loved the determination of Lily and how she was willing to take a chance on a life she’s always dreamed of. This is a fun, steamy, well written read and I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
A Treasured Lily is a beautifully written story with plenty of romance and adventure. Lily is a strong-willed girl who knows what she wants and is used to getting it. Rand also knows what he wants, and he wants Lily. Both characters have their own agenda and it was fun seeing how they each went about trying to achieve their goal. The witty banter between them was so much fun to read. These two have so much attraction and chemistry between them. I had a lot of fun reading this book! A wonderful addition to the series and I can’t wait to read the next one!

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!

Lily and Rand were a beautiful couple. Once they could agree on things, that is. Lily is the daughter of Thor and Pieretta from A Flawed Jewel, the first book in this series and she is just as spirited and determined as her mother was then. Plus, her parents have raised her to be a strong, independent woman who is not afraid to speak her mind. This was a lovely romance by Ms. Brower and I always enjoy it when her books feature the next generation of characters since we get a chance to see how couples we had met in earlier books have fared.

I hate to leave less than perfect reviews but this book left a lot to be desired. It is the story of Lilliana, or Lily, a young lady whose gotten it into her head that she wants to go live on her family’s plantation in America. She plots and schemes to set everything up to sail from England to America. That’s where Randall Collins, or Rand, comes in. Rand owns a shipping company and he lives in America. He agrees to take Lily back to America because he has fallen instantly in love with her. Lily, on the other hand, doesn’t believe in lasting relationships and wants to seduce him. Although there was a hint of mystery in the book, ther was no climax. The role reversals didn’t suit the characters. I just didn’t care for this book as much as the others.

A second steamy romance in the Marsden saga. It was a jump to go from the parents to the daughter, but I think it turned out well with the level of interaction. It was a good storyline and I do admire the self-control the men show in these books.

The well written storyline pulled me right in from the very first page! However, it was the well developed characters that kept me totally captivated as I turned each and every page! This book was such a pleasure to read that I read it in one sitting!
Yet another well written romance from Dawn Brower. The authors has made research and I like that historical stories are true to their periods.
A stubborn and strong woman asks a Captain if he can take her on his next travel and he agrees. They have a instant attraction but he was not in her plans.
Captivating, enjoyable short read.

I think the words that sum up this story best are taken from the book they are Once upon a time a lady asked a gentleman to help her run away… and that is how Lilliana Marsden meets American ship captain Randall Collins. A well-written story that I enjoyed reading. This story is connected to the first book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
