A Perfect Equation

The Secret Scientists of London, Book #2

by Elizabeth Everett

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Athena’s Retreat, a haven for lady scientists, is in need of some managing assistance when the director decides to take a break and heard north with her husband… she asks her friend and one of the founding members to take on that role while she is gone. Miss Letitia Fenley prefers to stay out of the spotlight since scandal years ago ruined her reputation. Her work as a female mathematician only exacerbates her notoriety, but she will do anything to keep the club that has been her saviour alive… even work along side her nemesis, Lord William Hughes, the Viscount Greycliff.

Greycliff permits his former step-mother to have her club and even steps up to keep the members safe while she is away… but when the club comes between his ambitions and what he believes is his duty to his country, will he be able to reconcile his priorities when the club alters his perceptions?

This was a delightful enemies to lovers tale, that brought our MC’s to lovers very quickly (yippee!!). But at the heart of the story, trust and ambition rules these characters and their decisions.

Our mathematical dreamer, Letty was a beautiful heroine to watch as she came out of her our self created chrysalis. She absolutely blooms through friendship and unwitting support she finds from the ladies at the club and from Greycliff when she opens up to them.

Greycliff came in hard and turned out to be a big softy! His teddy bear personality and need to care for those he loves was a great contrast to the other men portrayed in the book and made him worthy of book boyfriend status!

I had such a fin time enjoying the secondary characters in the book as well. They were so unique and added a lot of fun to the story!

Though, I did not read the first book in this series, but could this book very easy to step into and enjoy without the background from the first book. Saying that, I am eager to catch up with what I missed and get in more time at Athena’s Retreat with A Lady’s Formula for Love!

A Perfect Equation by Elizabeth Everett is scheduled to release February 15th, 2022.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Berkley Publishing Group through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Art of Taxidermy

by Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 #TheArtOfTaxidermy #sharonkern...

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms! This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
