Much to Stoker's annoyance, Tiberius also persuades Veronica to pose as his fiancé, which leads him to jealously join in their journey to Lord Malcolm Romilly's castle. Seriously, this is one of my favorite fictional relationships but the slow burn of it kills me.Ī Dangerous Collaboration starts with Veronica being whisked away to a house party on a remote island by Lord Tiberius Templeton-Vane, Stoker's arrogant older brother, after he calls in a favor of her. The two use their scientific minds to help solve mysteries with a good ol' helping of sass and sexual tension thrown in for good measure. I'm so happy to say, it did not disappoint!Ī quick little recap of the series: It takes place in Victorian England and follows Veronica Speedwell, a fiercely independent lepidoptrist (someone who studies butterflies), and the adventures her and her dashingly broody natural historian companion Stoker often get wrapped up in. From the moment I read it, it quickly became one of my favorite series of all time, so needless to say, the latest installment was my most anticipated release of this year.


A few months back I gushed all about how much I love the Veronica Speedwell series by Deanna Raybourn.
