A Perfect Equation
Elizabeth Everett 336 pages | Published by Berkley Publication Date: February 15, 2022
Letty Fenley is hard at work preparing for a presentation for the prestigious Rosewood Prize for Mathematics when she's suddenly put in charge of Athena's Retreat, the secret women's club that is home to female scientists. An outcast in society because of a mistake she made six years ago, Letty feels the pressure to successfully run the club along with Lord Greycliff, an icy man with the sole mission to keep things orderly and in control. Letty is determined to stake her claim in the scientific community any way she can, while Greycliff seems hell-bent on diminishing the work of Athena's Retreat.
Another reader on Goodreads, India Holton, summed up my feelings better than I could have: "Elizabeth Everett has once again created a fabulous story about a smart, brave woman and a man who develops the good sense to love her."
I am positively in LOVE with Letty! What an A+ woman. All of the ladies of Athena's Retreat are intelligent and outspoken but I so admire Letty for being as brave as she is. Her status as an outcast within society could have resulted in a quiet life at home, trying to be as quiet as possible - not taking charge of a secret science club for women in London.
Letty and Grey's dynamic was just perfect - they had great chemistry and brought out the best in each other. I do think the book had a bit of a slow start but once it hit it's stride I couldn't put it down!
According to the preview at the end, the next installment is about Grantham and I absolutely cannot wait! As much as I love the dark and brooding boys I definitely have a soft spot for the dandelion ray of sunshine guys.
Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the advanced e-book!
