Lawrence Coffey finds himself outside of Hookham’s Book Shop and Lending Library. Could he be as lucky as his friend Justin (see A Similar Taste In Books) and find the girl of his dreams?  He does spot a beautiful young lady.  Both of them reach for the copy of Pride and Prejudice that is on the return table.  Lawrence tells her to take it.  Then overhears she is going to a lecture that evening.  Of course Lawrence goes and when the young lady leaves the lecture hall she drops her handkerchief. He ends up returning the handkerchief the next day and even helps her find her mathematical error.  Has Ellen found her Mr Darcy?Lawrence returns to help Ellen’s father and brother build their steam engine.  He has purchased used clothing to wear as it is very dirty work.  Why he purchased used undergarments is beyond me - all he got for his totally authentic look were welts all over his body.  No one told him cheap undergarments were itchy!Things to ponder:  Would Lawrence ever get to spend time alone with Ellen? Has he learned his lesson about buying used clothing?  What is with the protective duck?Linda Banche has done it again. I love her regency novellas.  They are the perfect little confection that makes your day.  It was a fast fun read.  I read it in one sitting.  I am hoping there will be more in this delightful series.  So, if you like a good read that is romantic and laugh out loud funny, then you should be reading A Mutual Interest in Numbers.FTC Full Disclosure - A copy of this book was sent to me by the author in hopes I would review it. However, receiving the complimentary copy did not influence my review.
