𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐝:
• There was such great character growth in this book!
• I love Phoebe’s sarcasm - she is a true villain and I adore that about her!
• Sam is just perfect even with his quirks
• The chemistry between them was off the chart! Loved the banter!
• The friendships - willingness to forgive Phoebe for what happened before
• This cover is absolutely stunning!
𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: I absolutely loved this book! I had previously read A Lady’s Formula For Love from The Secret Scientists of London series so I was familiar with several of the side characters. I will be going back and reading ALL of Elizabeth’s books. I love her writing style and felt like I was in the story with these people. I felt such sorrow for this family and all what they had to endure at the hand of such a terrible man. I look forward to reading more of these fantastic historical women in STEM!!!
Special Appearance…Pasha (our kitten)
