Lady Margaret Westbrook, a longtime widow, has a predictable life, one that she's content with though her mind isn't always as engaged as she might like. She's interested in science, but as a woman in the nineteenth century, she's not been given the tools to understand it all or the means with which to pursue her interests. Then she meets Felix Oliver. Felix is a kind of physicist, studying electricity in particular. He comes to give a talk to Margaret Westbrook's ladies society. Chemistry (rather than physics) happens and the two are drawn together.Did I mention that Margaret is 41 and Felix is 26? No? Well, the age difference makes a difference to Margaret at first. It is a hard thing to overcome.Felix and Margaret manage to put aside their age issue and get married. Then they start having sex. And more sex. And more sex on top of that. In fact, they have so much sex that it's a wonder their knees aren't scraped. Felix also spanks. Sometimes he spanks for spurious reasons, but Margaret doesn't actually seem to mind. Their banter, however, is wonderful. Etta Stark has put a lot of humor into their repartee.This is a fun book with, as I might have said a time or two, lots of sex and lots of spankings and a bright sense of humor. If you're looking for a quick and satisfying read, you'll enjoy Lady Westbrook's Discovery.
