BOOK REVIEW- TO CATCH A SPINSTER- Olivia Blakesley, self-proclaimed spinster extraordinaire, is quite happy with her life. She has her studies and her duties, what need does she have of a husband? With five sisters married she knows the reality does not live up to the promise, and does not need to personally experiment with the state to know she would be ill-suited to it. However, she finds herself envious of at least one aspect of marriage. But to experience the physical side of marriage, one doesn't need a husband, all one needs is the right man... Nathaniel Jenkins knows his duty. Marry a young girl from a respectable family and father an heir, no matter how cold the endless parade of suitable girls leaves him. But a shocking proposal from a scholarly spinster leaves him wondering if unsuitable is just what he's looking for. Can he convince his spinster that marriage is the greatest experiment of all?

A Fun Romp. I really liked this story and more than once or twice found myself laughing out loud. Olivia is stubborn, logical and persistent. She was raised as a lady but she had more leanings to scientific observations. As far as she is concerned marriage would put her too much into a mode that she had no interest in. She had her freedoms and had no desire to give them up to any man, by getting married. She does have some desire though; its very unladylike but she is determined. And once she studied Nathaniel, she decided he was the perfect one to practise with. While Nathaniel is tired of all the carbon copy, witless young girls. Olivia catches his imagination with not only her intelligence, uniqueness but also with her horrible way of dressing. He wasn't going to agree with her proposal at first because he is a gentleman but she made him laugh, kept him on his toes and he couldn't believe how direct she could be. She takes him on a merry chase.
