New from Abingdon Press’ Quilts of Love series | Masterpiece Marriage
He wants to save his business. She wants to be a professor. But are they asking for more than they can really have?
After a flood damages the looms at Zenus Dane’s Philadelphia textile mill and the bank demands loan payment, Zenus turns to his aunt for help repurposing his textiles. Trouble is . . . his aunt has already been hired by the lovely yet secretive Englishwoman Mary Varrs.
Eager to acquire his aunt’s quilt patterns, Zenus attends the summer Quilting Bee, a social event his aunt has uniquely designed with the secret purpose of finding Zenus a wife. However Zenus only has eyes for Mary, but Mary has no such desire for him.
Though his aunt is determined to design a masterpiece marriage, both Zenus and Mary will have to overcome their stubborn ways. Can he realize that love requires stepping out of his routine? And will she recognize that following her heart doesn’t mean sacrificing her ambition?

MY REVIEW-I have really been enjoying the Quilts of Love installments as they release. These books are all written by different authors and it isn't like a story-line where the books flow together, but each one has had something in it that made the book come alive. Masterpiece Marriage was no different and I quickly became engrossed in the story of Mary and Zenus.
Mary is a botanist who is one strong lady!! This character drew me from the start and I felt like she was a kindred spirit. The way she stands up to the people in the cafe and then Zenus made me laugh! Zenus was definitely not a kindred spirit and at first I had trouble connecting with him. His arrogant attitude and thinking that everyone needed to work on his time frame thoroughly had me worried. I appreciate a good hero but I wasn't sure if I would like Zenus at all. Nice thing is that he grows on you. Once you read more of the book you see why he has his problems, as we all do, and what makes him tick. His aunt was another favorite of mine and her spunk matched Mary's. There was a time or two where I laughed out loud, think of meeting a person for the first time and telling them you are going to marry them:D A great book that I really enjoyed.
