The Gentleman's Gambit by Evie Dunmore


💖💖💖💖/5

Catriona and Elias take us on an emotional journey in The Gentleman's Gambit by Evie Dunmore, book four in her League of Extraordinary Women series. For the introverted and highly talented Lady Catriona, nothing is more important than her scientific work and the fight for women's rights. She also secretly longs for love; but only with a man who would allow her to remain herself and not try to change her. Elias Khoury, a young scientist from the Middle East, enters Oxford and Professor Campbell's circle with ulterior motives. While he tells everyone he's there to classify ancient artifacts, he really wants to take them back to his homeland in the Middle East. When he's introduced to Catriona, he sees an opportunity to use her to get what he wants.

 

For the first time in her life, Catriona feels like someone really sees and appreciates her for who she is; little does she know that Elias is in England for completely different reasons than he claims. It doesn’t take Catriona long to discover what Elias is really up to and is determined to help him; getting her friends to help, she pulls off something no one would ever have expected of a lady scholar.


Elias didn't expect to lose himself in his feelings for her and even though he knows it can't really go anywhere, the seduction he planned actually falls to the wayside as they find themselves becoming more; forcing Catriona to choose between love and the work that means everything to her.

 

Ms. Dunmore took her readers on an emotional journey as she completed. She provided a tale rich with clever banter, sizzling chemistry and endearing characters allowing Catriona and Elias a chance to obtain all each desires.  I definitely recommend The Gentleman's Gambit to other readers.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
