Genre: Regency Romance (Clean)

Georgiana Linfield is a lady biologist who is determined to travel the world. Upon arriving in London for the Season, she decides the best way to fulfil her dreams is to find an amenable husband to indulge her every whim. Refusing to give up her interest in natural history for a dull domestic life, she sets out to forge a different path for herself.

When her father’s elderly cousin asks her to set his natural history collection in order, she accepts his request with joy. However, the task brings her into almost daily contact with his godson, Sir Giles Tavistock, a renowned entomologist, who regards her with some suspicion. When Sir Giles discovers her skills as a scientific illustrator, he asks her to sketch his South American butterfly collection, and they forge an uneasy truce.

Their tenuous connection is shattered, however, when Sir Giles believes a rumour casting Georgiana in a far-from-flattering light. Vowing to have nothing more to do with him, she keeps him at a distance. But when the baronet’s butterflies attract unwanted attention, a series of events unravel that make Georgiana wonder if the famous collector might have done the impossible and captured her heart.

My Thoughts on The Baronet’s Lady Biologist

Okay, so this is book three in a series.  I read book one but then did not have the pleasure of reading book two.  This is book three and you do see a character that I feel that we met or delved more in-depth with in book two.  Having said that it does read well as a stand-alone book.  You might initially have a small bit of confusion but it goes away quickly and does not affect the plot or overall book.  

Now onto the book!

I really enjoyed getting to know Georgiana.  Georgiana loves science.  She works with her brother and father.  It’s unconventional and you’d think she’s been content and happy. But she’s not.  She wants to pursue science her way and do so while on the go.  

Enter our male her in the story!

Sir Giles!

So, maybe it’s just me, but this book definitely made me think of Pride and Prejudice.  So if you enjoyed that book you’re going to love this one as it has more adventure and less over-explaining. 

You’re going to love this one.  It’s got intrigue.  It’s got romance.  And it has gorgeous butterflies.  Just know that you’re going to want to delve into the world of butterflies and learn about them and it might lead to a unit study on butterflies for your homeschooled children and then a trip to the butterfly exhibit at the zoo.  Not saying I did that or anything. . . okay, yes I did that.
