A clean and wholesome Regency romance, Love for the Spinster is the second book in the Women of Worth series. It can be read apart from the series but works best in proper order.

Miss Freya Hurst had just dropped and orange cat named Jasper into the drawing room so she could have the pink room. Her best friend Lady McGregor, Rosalynn had just arrived and was escorted to the pink room though the Butler disapproved of this. She had brought her four sons (two sets of twins) to London to see their Aunt Freya. As Rosalynn was explaining this to Freya she realized Roslyn was expecting and asked her if she thought she would have twins again. Roslyn said she didn’t know and then invited Freya to come for Sunday dinner and to see the boys. Freya really didn’t want to go for Sunday dinner because she didn’t know who would be there and the ton had gossiped about her extensively four years ago because her father had to families his legitimate family lived in France, and she and her mother lived in England where her mother was considered her father’s mistress and she was illegitimate. On Sunday her best friend Elise Nichols and her husband Lord Cameron showed up at Roslyn’s as soon as she saw Freya, Elise ran to her leaving her husband.

They arrived at the ball and things were just getting started when who should walk in, her father his wife and his daughter. Freya took one look and ran out of the ballroom with the Elise Lord Cameron following behind her to get into the carriage and go home. To discover what Freya does and how the book ends you have to read it. It’s a very good book…
Freya was disgraced when she discovered that her parents marriage was invalid and that she was illegitimate. Years after discovering the news, her father appears with his new family and daughter’s coming out in London. Freya flees London for the country estate she inherited but has never seen. She hopes that she can feel safe in the country from the scandal that rocked her world. She is looking forward to meeting Mr. Daniel Bryce, the steward of her estate, and with whom she has been corresponding for some time. Their correspondence has been so easy and she is hoping that he can be the father figure for her that she is missing in her own father.
When Freya discovers that Mr. Daniel Bryce is not the elderly gentleman that she imagined and is actually one of her contemporaries, she is determined to keep her distance, though her feelings he stirs in her seem to make that an impossible task. There is a happy ending in this story but it takes the entire book to reach that conclusion.
I have enjoyed reading the stories of the three friends and look forward to more in this series and more from this author. This story was a clean regency romance with no foul language or descriptive intimate contact. I was given an arc copy of this book and I willingly offer my honest review.
I absolutely loved this book! Kasey hasn’t wrote a book yet that I don’t like!
I really enjoyed Freya and Daniel’s journey to love. The characters were well written and the story was interesting and fun. Good read

I looked forward to reading Freya’s story but was sadly disappointed. For two thirds of the book I had a hard time engaging with Freya’s character. Too flighty, too unsure, too indecisive and she fought too hard against acknowledging her feelings for Daniel. She worried too much about her family secret, her past. I found her to be the opposite of what she hoped she would be treated by others. She was too inquisitive and determined to find out whatever it was she wanted to know. Unfortunately, I started skipping pages feeling sure I was not missing anything. I did enjoy the love between Freya and her best friends Elsie and Rosalynn. Also, with Mrs. Overton. Freya did show compassion from time to time that was touching. Daniel’s past coming to face him was a surprise. I am glad that at least towards the end of the book it ended with a HEA. I do wonder about the jealous Miss Chappelle what became of her when she found out about Freya and Daniel’s situation. I wonder about Mrs. Overton’s illness and how long she had with her precious Daniel. I would have found an epilogue advantageous if it covered their time at the Abbey with Lord and Lady Melbourne. Also, what would have become of Freya’s relationship with her father? Would Freya allow herself to get to know her half-sister? So many questions so many loose ends. There is definitely room for improvement. This storyline has potential but needs a lot of work.
Good characters.
Have you ever read a book that you enjoyed reading yet still found some missing pieces? Well, that is how I feel with this story. A young woman lives under scandal because of her father when he re-enters her life she decides to retreat to the country. Little did she know fate has the unexpected awaiting her. Good characters, an interesting story yet the reader can see more challenges facing the main characters. Since I became invested into the story I want to know what happens I do not want to say very much since it would spoil it for other readers, but where I want to give this one a solid 5 star it has to be a 4 there is that little bit missing. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Book two in the Women of Worth series a well written story that held my interest throughout. I enjoyed reading Freya and Mr. Daniel Bryce’s story and everything they go through to be together. A great storyline with a story that flowed smoothly from page to page I want to read the next book in this series.

I was glad Freya was getting a second chance at life and love after it was revealed in a previous book that her father was not married to her mother. I loved the cats and the dog Coco, who was rescued in that book. There was attraction between her steward Daniel and her upon meeting, but he is a different social class and she won’t bring her scandal upon him and his budding horse breeding business. It was great to catch up with the characters from the previous books.
Freya and Daniel Bryce have both suffered due to th opinions of other peoples’ double standards. I was captivated by the way the characters developed over the course of the book. I felt drawn into the story right from the start, and was rooting for Freya till the end.
