A Lady's Formula for Love by Elizabeth Everett
4.0
Rating: ❄️❄️❄️❄️/5
“How terrifying when dreams walk the earth. Perfect in their imperfections: messy and flawed and more beautiful for it. When you let a person in, they mattered, and when you lost them, worlds ended.”
— A Lady’s Formula for Love, Elizabeth Everett
Violet Hughes is a widowed scientist who spends her time presiding over a household and a secret club surrounded by other likeminded women. She is a shell of a woman.
Arthur Kneland is a government agent hired by Violet’s stepson to protect her from an anarchist society in exchange for enough money to buy a farm back home in Scotland and retire away from the rest of the world. He is a shell of a man.
When these two literally crash into each other, sparks fly. But their relationship isn’t easy, with one of them fighting their feelings and the other not confident enough to express their deepest desires. Will they find a way to make it work, or will their chemistry blow up in their faces?
The only thing that made this fall short of a five star read for me was the fact that the plot felt choppy and underdeveloped at times. While I enjoyed watching their relationship unfold, I also thought that the romance between Violet and Arthur felt rushed. Hopefully these issues will be addressed before its release!
Thanks to Evie Dunmore, I have become such a huge fan of historical romance, and when this comes out on February 9th, it will be welcomed into the fold with open arms. I am sure everyone will thoroughly enjoy it.
