Blog Tour: The Geographer's Map to Romance Review (Love's Academic, #2)
Hello, all!
Professor Elodie Tarrant may be an expert in magical disasters, but many would argue that she is quite the disaster herself. She's prone to flights of fancy and doesn't think twice before charging into any situation. Nothing fazes Elodie except for one person: Professor Gabriel Tarrant, her curmudgeonly colleague in the geography department and husband. Elodie and Gabriel couldn't be more different. The pair agreed to marry as a matter of convenience but were estranged soon after they exchanged their vows. But that hasn't stopped either from secretly pining after each other.
When a magical eruption threatens a small Welsh village, jeopardizing the rest of England, Elodie and Gabriel get assigned to the case. They haven't spoken in a year and can barely look one another in the eye, but they're willing to put their differences aside for their country's sake. But it's hard to keep things professional when faced with explosions, magically infected goats, and a small shared bedroom, and Elodie and Gabriel soon realize it's easier to give in to their desires than fight against them.
Holton continues to delight me with every new book. She's my go-to author when craving something light, humorous, and bonkers. Her characters are always witty, charming, and slightly unhinged (in the best possible way.) I loved how effervescent Elodie was. She had this child-like wonder about her that I found so endearing. On the flip side, Gabriel was stoic and grumpy, so watching them interact was so silly. I thought they had great banter, and you could tell that the pair loved each other but were too shy to act on it. I was yelling, "Just kiss already!" to myself the whole time. There's a nerdy little "my wife" scene that had me kicking my little feet! In typical Holton fashion, the magic system and world-building were pretty zany, but that's the whole appeal of her work. It's outlandish, but in a way that works. These books may not be for everyone, but they are definitely for me, and I can't wait to see what's next.
I've been obsessed with India Holton since her debut, so I was thrilled to get an early copy of her latest release, The Geographer's Map to Romance. Big thanks to the publisher for the copy! (You can read a review of the first book here.)
