DINNER ON PRIMROSE HILL
A slice of Americana delivered
with her characteristic warmth, endearing characters, and authentic Texan
flair, the third Honey Creek novel by New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author Jodi Thomas takes readers to Clifton Bend, Texas, a small college town
where two very different scientists must team up on an experiment on “The
Chemistry of Mating.”
Can these two opposites attract
and quantify the science of love? The author of over 50 novels with millions of
books in print, Jodi is truly the queen of creating small towns which readers
want to revisit over and over again – in fact the Honey Creek series has become
her best-selling series in trade paperback in her storied career!
Jodi welcomes readers back to the
picturesque Texas valley that cradles the town of Honey Creek—a place where
friendship and warm welcomes can be relied on, and love always finds a way . .
.
Benjamin Monroe is pretty sure
how his life will play out. He’ll continue teaching chemistry in his small college
and spend his free time biking through the valley. Eventually, he’ll retire to
putter around in his garden and greenhouse.
His colleague, Virginia Clark,
is not one for routines. She’s chatty, spontaneous, and bubbly, and before
Benjamin realizes what happened, she’s talked him into collaborating on a research
project—studying the mating habits of college students. Virginia knows her
desire to work with Benjamin is motivated by more than the potential prize
money . . . and hopes he might not be quite as indifferent as he seems to be.
Ketch Kincaid, one of
Benjamin’s star students, returned to college after serving in the army. He
needs something to get his mind off his recent breakup and collecting research
data might do it. And there’s another distraction on the horizon—a woman who
looks like she, too, knows about heartache. Soon enough, their project, “The
Chemistry of Mating,” is gaining notoriety. Friends, neighbors . . . the whole
town has become involved. But no matter what the data determines, one
conclusion seems inescapable: love follows its own rules . . .
