Description
Geography professors in a failed marriage of convenience inconveniently reconnect for an emergency mission in this swoony historical-fantasy rom-com.
Professor Elodie Tarrant is an expert in magic disasters. Nothing fazes her—except her own personal disaster, that is: Professor Gabriel Tarrant, the grumpy, unfriendly man she married for convenience a year ago, whom she secretly loves.
Gabriel is also an expert in magic disasters. And nothing fazes him either—except the walking, talking tornado that is his wife. They’ve been estranged since shortly after their wedding day, but that hasn’t stopped him from stoically pining for her.
When magic erupts in a small Welsh village, threatening catastrophe for the rest of England, Elodie and Gabriel are accidentally both assigned to the case. With the fate of the country in their hands, they must come together as a team in the face of perilous conditions like explosions, domesticated goats, and only one bed. But this is easier said than done. After all, there''s no navigational guide for the geography of the heart.
Report
"A funny, cozy romantasy with a splash of Indiana Jones. I can't wait for the next installment!" Julia Quinn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Bridgerton series
The Geographer s Map to Romance charts a trajectory from first dances to second chances, equal parts earnest and tongue-in-cheek, and entirely, madly charming. Holton has done it again with her trademark frothy, joyous storytelling, this time celebrating love and landscape (often sublime; sometimes explosive). Her writing positively sparkles with magic. Brigitte Knightley, author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy
"India Holton s books are unlike anything else in romance right now and that s very much a compliment!" Paste Magazine
[E]ffervescent...Holton ratchets up the whimsy in her worldbuilding and her characters leap off the page, especially taciturn Gabriel, who manages to imbue myriad meanings into a simple 'Hm.' The result is a delicious, feel-good romp. Publishers Weekly
Holton layers on detail and frothy jokes like a pastry chef with an eye for fabulous icing roses, covering every inch of the story with sugared delights. Beneath this is an unfolding reconciliation between Elodie and Gabriel that becomes more satisfying as the book advances. Library Journal
Praise for The Ornithologist's Field Guide to Love
India Holton infuses the story with wry wit and meta inside jokes. Every sentence is positively vibrating with the kind of charm that will have you pressing your lips together with laughter. And yet amid all the outrageous and camp fun, Holton also succeeds in building a genuine love story between two people who have kept the world at a distance for years but somehow find a home within each other. And if that doesn t sell you, then you should at least know this book has one of the funniest twists on the one bed trope I ve read in a long time. NPR
Holton continues to be the world s leading engineer of the romp. The Ornithologist s Field Guide to Love is positively confectionary: a sweetly earnest love story wrapped in layers of sharp word-play, deadly magical birds, and cheeky narrative awareness. Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House
Holton s prose winks and sparkles with wit and magic, flitting expertly between laugh-out-loud hijinks, swoon-worthy romance, and adventure filled with fowl play. The Ornithologist s Field Guide to Love is pure, rollicking fun and will set your heart aflutter. Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Fragile Enchantment
