Book Description from Goodreads:
Miss Isadora Delafield may be an heiress, but her life is far from carefree. When her mother begins pressuring her to marry an elderly and uncouth duke, she escapes from the high society world she's always known and finds herself to be an unlikely candidate for a housekeeper position in rural Pennsylvania.

Mr. Ian MacKenzie is known for his savvy business sense and has built his reputation and fortune completely on his own merits. But when his adopted parents are in need of a new housekeeper and Isadora is thrown into his path, he's unexpectedly charmed by her unconventional manner.

Neither Isadora nor Ian expected to find the other so intriguing, but when mysterious incidents on the farm and the truth of Isadora's secret threaten those they love, they'll have to set aside everything they thought they wanted for a chance at happy-ever-after.


My Review:
Flights of Fancy is a romantic comedy set in 1885 and takes place mainly in or near Philadelphia. The characters got into silly situations (mainly involving farm animals, children, and the heroine trying to learn chores that she's never had to do before). Happily, this time the humor was in the banter and silly situations rather than in ridiculous, unbelievable behavior. The main characters were quirky but kind, and I cared about what happened to them. Both the hero and heroine needed to discover God's purpose for their lives. They got along well together. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this humorous novel.
