    About this ebook

    You can’t write a scientific formula for attraction—but when the right elements come together, it can create something wonderful . . .
     
    Six months after a painful breakup from her pushy ex, Gordon, PhD hopeful Beth is finally getting her life back on track. She’s hard at work trying to prove her scientific theories are correct, no matter how unusual they may be. And she’s even beginning to see her loyal lab partner, Hibs, as more than just a lothario in a lab coat.
     
    Hibs always held a candle for Beth, but never thought she felt anything for him until they decided to get a few drinks to unwind—and ended up examining each other in a very un-scientific manner. It seems they might just complement each other outside of the lab as well.
     
    But when Gordon storms back into town, will Beth be able to see beyond his shallow charms and realize that her true love is the man who stands by her side every day?

    Rhoda Baxter

    Rhoda writes contemporary women’s fiction with a hint of geek. Back in the early 2000s, when she commuted into London every day, Rhoda read romance novels and wished there were more stories about women who were not obsessed with shoes. Besides which, where were all the nice men - the sort that rely on wit and charm rather than money and biceps? Rhoda now writes the sort of books she wanted to read. She's lucky enough to have several books published by a traditional publisher (thank you Choc Lit!). Her books have been nominated for prizes and her articles have appeared on various websites, including USA Today. In real life, she has a DPhil in microbiolgy, so if her pen name sounds vaguely bacterial, you can guess why. You can find her wittering on about cake and science or making bad puns on her website (www.rhodabaxter.com), or on Facebook or Twitter (@rhodabaxter). Or, if you like, you can email her at rhodab@rhodabaxter.com. Please do say hello if you’re passing.

      Doctor January is romantic comedy with dark undertones. The dialogue is light and funny, but the main theme is about saving someone from emotional abuse. It also touches on the difficulties faced by women in science

      That does say it perfectly. The book is light and I liked the banter. But the more I got to know Beth I could see why she acted the way she did and when her ex comes back it gets worse. He is emotionally abusive and more. What I think is Beth is not really Beth, that is just Beth trying to please everyone and hiding.

      Right, back to the beginning. We got Hibs and Beth working in a lab (the author knows her science.) They are friends but maybe they could be more? If Beth was not still in love with her ex, and if that ex had not come back later. Arghhh I hated Gordon. A true idiot.

      The book takes a darker turn when Gordon gets back, but that is why this is not contemporary romance. It's more about Beth trying to live her life.

      There is drama, every day life, romance, and romance turned bad. All in one. And add some suspense too.

      The cover is all wrong in my eyes, that and the title made me think this was some kind of spy novel. See James Bond and more. Nope.
