She
is an over-educated bluestocking who has never met a debate she did not
like. He is the boy next door. Will she realize the perfect man is
right in front of her?
Olivia is the oldest of the four, beautiful Deverell sisters. She is also a reformed tomboy whose best friend is the earl next door. But she has reached the age where she is expected to marry—and her sisters can’t ‘come out’ until she does. Philosophy, politics and debate of any subject are the tools of her trade but these might not get her far among the social elite of London.
With little enthusiasm for her season, she has a change of heart when she learns that an eminent young scientist will also be in town. Orchestrating events to meet him, she is surprised when he invites her to help him with his work. Could this be a match made in heaven?
Olivia is Book 1 in the Women of Worcester series.

My Review: 4 StarsIt's always fun for me to read a series about a family and Olivia is the eldest sister and her story is Book 1 in the series.
Olivia is smart and what could be considered a bluestocking. Since she must marry, she's determined to do it her way and can't see what's right in front of her face.
I found this story to be short, sweet, and enjoyable. Matern does a good job with the characters and the situations they find themselves in. It's always interesting to see how invested other family members could be at the time. The road to true love isn't always visible or easy, and it was amusing to read about Olivia's experiences. I'm now curious to read about the rest of the family.
