Tess Barker loves history and Jane Austin’s Mr. Darcy. With a degree in history but not a love of teaching in a classroom, Tess leads tours of tourists around the Northland introducing them to the history of Aotearoa. While she loves what she does, she is thinking it is time to move on and try working in a different environment. She is afraid to commit to a relationship or even go see the doctor. She has also managed to offend a good friend who she is secretly in love with. In other words, her Mr. Darcy.
Finn is another person who happens to love history just as much as Tess does. He works at the Waitangi iTreaty Grounds n the museum in the Education Department. He sets up exhibits and teaches as a part of his job. For those not familiar with Waitangi and its importance to the history of En Zed, it is the treaty between Britain and the Maori chieftains which created the nation of New Zealand as a part of the Commonwealth.
Finn has recently had some issues and is ready to leave the area and teaching but he doesn’t want to leave working in a museum.
There is a position opening up at a museum in Christchurch and both Finn and Tess apply for it. It would be a great chance for both of them and they decide to work together and help each other compete for the same job. They are both doing their own presentations but are helping the other one prefect their presentation which is a part of the job application. Working together does help spark the attraction between the two of them.
When they are both in Christchurch to present, the sparks do flare up into a full fledged flame. But can they overcome their issues? In true Serenity Woods fashion, there are still some bumps and hurdles along the way.
Although this is the fourth book in this series, it can be read as a stand alone. This series is a fantastic series and once you read one, you will be hooked.
I did receive an advance reader copy of this book in exchange for a fair and unbiased review. Not that I don’t order her books and read them anyway. Her writing is that good.

Her Mr Darcy
Serenity Woods has written a wonderful series about a group of friends living in Northland, New Zealand.RosieHer Mr Darcy
Reviewed in Australia on April 22, 2019
They have all been affected by the death of a woman who was sister to some, and dear friend to others. Ciara was serving in Afghanistan, when a bomb took her life.
In each book, the characters are trying to move on with their lives, find love and happiness, while honouring Ciara's memory.
In this story, Finn and Tess have known each other four years. They have each had relationships meaning that they didn't have an opportunity to connect on a romantic level until now.
These two have so much in common - they are both history nerds.
When they discover that they are both vying for the same job, they pool their resources and help each other, rather than hinder.
While they are out of town together, to attend the interviews, they become lovers.
Tess is dealing with a worsening case of endometriosis and the subject is woven into the story with care and sensitivity.
She is nervous about sex, because past partners were not sympathetic. But Finn is fully on board.
This story offers moments of hilarity, with an adorable parrot, who has been taught Shakespearean swear words.
Next book will hopefully resolve the impasse between Beck and Josie.
