What is a Victorian lady’s formula for love? Mix one brilliant noblewoman and her enigmatic protection officer. Add in a measure of danger and attraction. Heat over the warmth of humor and friendship, and the result is more than simple chemistry—it’s elemental.
Lady Violet Hughes is keeping secrets. First, she founded a clandestine sanctuary for England’s most brilliant female scientists. Second, she is using her genius on a confidential mission for the Crown. But the biggest secret of all? Her feelings for protection officer Arthur Kneland.
Solitary and reserved, Arthur learned the hard way to put duty first. But the more time he spends in the company of Violet and the eccentric club members, the more his best intentions go up in flames. Literally.
When a shadowy threat infiltrates Violet’s laboratories, endangering her life and her work, scientist and bodyguard will find all their theories put to the test—and learn that the most important discoveries are those of the heart.
A historical twist on the popular steamy STEM romance novels, this book travels back in time and across the ocean to a private women’s club in London. The variety of women–from the upper and lower classes–meet at their club to secretly work on math and science problems that society deems unladylike.
When the club’s founder is in trouble, her bodyguard presents two problems: he’s a body guard and he’s from a different class, which wouldn’t be a problem if she wasn’t attracted to him.
The characters are expectedly quirky and likeable, and their club provides a fun, new setting for a historic romance. The author’s writing style is definitely unique, which sometimes made it difficult for me to follow along. Because of it, I didn’t connect with the characters quite as much as I’d hoped, but I still enjoyed the story and all the swoony moments.
A fun combination of Ali Hazelwood and Julia Quinn books.
R-rated for sex and swearing.
