Love in Numbers by Scarlett ColeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Meh.
Emerson Dyer and her siblings have inherited their father's gin distillery after his heart attack. Money is tight and they want to expand to capitalise on the success of their latest gin. Connor Finch is Finance Director of his father's multi-million dollar liquor business. He's been trying to persuade his father to acquire some premium brands, like high-end gin distilleries but his father won't countenance Dyer's Gins as he counts Emerson's father as his worst enemy.
Emerson and Connor meet by chance on a flight where they have both, unaccountably, have been allocated the same seat. They feel an instant attraction so Connor is bewildered when he finds out she is the daughter of his father's nemesis. Initially Connor thinks he can get close to Emerson to get the inside dirt about her company but soon he is falling for her. But can this Romeo and Juliet overcome their enmity?
I have loved some of Scarlett Cole's previous books but I have to say this and the last book I read indicate that our love affair is over. I hate to be unkind but honestly this felt predictable, lazy and cliched, complete with the moustache-twirling (figuratively) evil uncle.
