Cute! Extremely charming "roadtrip for science (and lust love?)" story.

Double POV, spicy, story about an insomniac rake bullied into escorting a geologist spinster to Scotland. 

This is the second Dare book I've read with an archetype (rake) that just wants to be a straight up soft boy. It works.

Minerva is a fun character. No baby fever out of nowhere. Very science focused. Down to jokes about licking rocks. A little bit of "not like other girls"ing occurs, but the second main character, Collin, often comes in with the "wait a minute," so that's nice.

Collin is a sweet character with a lot of good reasons and bad experiences. He's got jokes and bits and that's a good time. 

The prose and dialogue in this are good. There are some plot elements that are a little unresolved, but it doesn't hurt much. Ending is great, but leaves you wanting more of this couple.

Sex Scenes - hot. Dare does use baffling language ocassionally (shoutout to "globes".) But this one has a few scenes that are pretty unique and excellent.
