Book: The Love Remedy by Elizabeth Everett

Rating: 4/5
As the proprietor of her family's apothecary, Lucy has discovered that the formula for at least two of her cures have been stolen. As a woman in Victorian England, she has little recourse, but is determined to keep it from happening again. So she hires John Thorne, an investigator. This historical romance was fun and I enjoyed the interactions between the two leads, as well as the people who frequent the apothecary. This is the first I've read by Elizabeth Everett, and I believe it references a previous series she wrote. Although I felt that Lucy was a little too righteous in her anger at times, I really enjoyed the world Everett created, with its forward thinking and emphasis on female equality. I'll definitely read more by her.
