The Number of Love
is the first book in a new series from Roseanna M. White. Margot, the main character, was previously
introduced in A Song Unheard. Margo is a codebreaker in World War I. Her mind sees numbers and patterns everywhere.
She even prays in numbers. After the war, she wants to go to university and
study mathematics. She doesn’t want to be the traditional wife and mother. She
has goals and dreams.
Enter Drake Elton. He is her best friend’s brother and
secretly a spy for England stationed in Spain. When he gets hurt and sent back
to England, he falls for Margot. She declares she has no use for romance but
slowly her feelings for Drake intensify.
The tension rises as enemy spies are about. Margot needs to
break the code they are using so Drake can stop them.
I really enjoyed this story.
Margot is a well thought out character.
Her journey from extreme logical thinking to finally accepting and
giving love was very believable. The
plot with the enemy spies was exciting. It was nice to learn more about
codebreaking in World War I.
I received this book from Netgalley for an honest opinion.
