My Review:

The Lady of Larkspur Vale is my first book by Kasey Stockton, but it won't be my last. I have not read the first in the series, but I did not feel like I missed anything by starting with the second book. 

I was surprised to enjoy this book as much as I did. I liked Mabel when she wasn't down on herself for being too tall. Her care for others, including her Gram and younger sister, makes her an enduring character. I was rooting for her and Mack from the beginning and hoping for their happily ever after.

Read for:

-literary society

-second chance romance

-childhood friends to more

-precocious Pippa

-sweet story

-unconventional family

-house party

I am looking forward to reading more about Charles (Mabel's cousin) and Amelia (one of Mabel's BFFs).

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

She wants to forget she ever knew him; he just wants her.

Mabel Sheffield is too tall, or so she believes. It one of the reasons she has given up on finding a husband and instead embraces her role as a spinster, dedicating her days to managing her grandmother's estate and her seven-year-old sister. But when Liam MacKenzie shows up at her house to stay for the summer, she's unsure if she can keep her resolve. The problem: he's the other reason she's a spinster.

Book two in the Ladies of Devon series, The Lady of Larkspur Vale is a childhood friends-to-lovers and second chance romance story. It is a clean Regency romance that continues telling the story of the four women who make up a literary society in Devon and form a lasting friendship.
