Strictly by the Book
by Brenda Margriet
An adventurous, go-with-the-flow historian…a scrupulous, stick-to-the-rules scientist…an attraction so wrong it’s absolutely right.
Natalie Minton’s cheerful exterior hides desperation. She’s been out of work for months when her estranged sister appears on her doorstep pleading for help. An offer to write the biography of a local political legend couldn’t come at a better time.
Rafe Talbot rejected family tradition and chose medicine over politics. When he stumbles upon evidence of a hidden scandal, his only recourse is to work alongside—and stay one step ahead of—the vivacious scholar hired to chronicle his mother’s career.
Natalie’s exuberance strikes sparks off Rafe’s steely severity, luring them to ignore the secrets shadowing their pasts…until the glare of the present exposes intolerable truths.

Review
This book was a delight to read. I love the name Rafe, so I was excited to see if I'd like the character and I so did!
Natalie has appeared in a previous book in this series, in this book we get to know more about her family, life and heart.
Natalie is hired to write a biography of a late politician, but one of the politician's sons (Rafe) isn't keen on the idea. He's more irritated when he meets her and finds her attractive.
I loved the development of their relationship, from the first swimming pool scene which started a flame, and the finale!
The storyline was engaging, the characters interesting and all in all a great read.
***** 5 stars *****
