The 2nd in The Secret Scientists of London series as Violet is heading off on a trip and leaving Letty and Grey in charge of Athena’s Retreat, that houses the secret society of women scientists.

Letty and Grey have some past as Letty made a mistake in giving her heart to his cousin 6 years prior. Well more than her heart but she was not what she seemed then and she is still not what she seems. She is small in stature but her theories on mathematics and female equality are huge!

She was cast out of society in a way so her only place is Athena’s retreat and that could be taken from her. Grey is getting way more than he bargained for with close proximity with her and his place in his position is shaky with the opposing party trying to take power.

I loved the refuge for the “undesirable” women in society the learned ones that would have made a difference if men weren’t so small minded at the time. 

I really enjoyed A Lady’s Formula For Love and I’m excited for A Love by Design the snippet was intriguing!

Synopsis:

How do you solve the Perfect Equation? Add one sharp-tongued mathematician to an aloof, handsome nobleman. Divide by conflicting loyalties and multiply by a daring group of women hell-bent on conducting their scientific experiments. The solution is a romance that will break every rule.

Six years ago, Miss Letitia Fenley made a mistake, and she’s lived with the consequences ever since. Readying herself to compete for the prestigious Rosewood Prize for Mathematics, she is suddenly asked to take on another responsibility—managing Athena’s Retreat, a secret haven for England’s women scientists. Having spent the last six years on her own, Letty doesn’t want the offers of friendship from other club members and certainly doesn’t need any help from the insufferably attractive Lord Greycliff.

Lord William Hughes, the Viscount Greycliff cannot afford to make any mistakes. His lifelong dream of becoming the director of a powerful clandestine agency is within his grasp. Tasked with helping Letty safeguard Athena’s Retreat, Grey is positive that he can control the antics of the various scientists as well as manage the tiny mathematician—despite their historic animosity and simmering tension.

As Grey and Letty are forced to work together, their mutual dislike turns to admiration and eventually to something… magnetic. When faced with the possibility that Athena’s Retreat will close forever, they must make a choice. Will Grey turn down a chance to change history, or can Letty get to the root of the problem and prove that love is the ultimate answer?
