The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love by India Holton – Book Review

The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love is the new historical fantasy novel from the international, bestselling author of the Dangerous Damsels series .

Two rival ornithologists, both hunting one deadly, but beautiful, bird. Will the hunt of their lives also result in finding the love of their lives?

Professor Beth Pickering is close to capturing the rare Deathwhistler bird when Professor Devon Lockley swoops in, stealing both the bird and her imagination.

Much to his surprise, Devon has never been more smitten than when he first sets eyes on Beth.

When a competition is announced to the birding fanatics to become Birder of the Year by capturing an endangered caladrius bird, Beth and Devon are forced to team up in order to have any chance of winning!

They’re hunting the rarest of species. Will these rivals, however, discover something even more elusive, that of true love ???

Set in the 1890’s, this wonderful novel is a mix of the fanatical etiquette and rigidity of dress code in the Victorian era, offset by the obsessive culture of capturing fabulous, but lethal, mythical birds.

With a devilish sense of humour throughout, it follows our hero and heroine in pursuit of their quarry, as other birders try to remove them from the chase.

A wonderfully awkward, boy meets girl romance, coupled with the thrill of the chase while attempting to mind one’s manners!

The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love is an absolute must-read for 2024!

ISBN: 9781405954983

The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love is available paperback, e-book and audiobook.
