Book Summary
Emily Norton loves nothing more than losing herself within the pages of a good book. But the solitary pastime is poor preparation for participating in the dreaded London Season. Her trepidation over formally entering Society is all-encompassing, until she stumbles upon an enigmatic gentleman digging up flowers in a hedgerow. Before she can learn his name or the reason for his unusual activity, however, she is whisked into a carriage bound for London.
Henry Buckland has a secret: he cannot discern the difference between certain colors. It’s a particularly difficult disability for the curator of natural history at the British Museum, but no more challenging than his repeated attempts to outmaneuver the machinations of the town’s most notorious matchmaker. At his parents’ dinner party, he receives assistance in outwitting the persistent busy-body from a surprising source: the intriguing young lady he met on the country lane. As Emily and Henry become formally acquainted, they discover a shared love of science and nature that makes them ideally suited. However, Henry is not alone in his admiration for the young woman. As the competition to woo Emily escalates, so, too, do tensions at the museum. When an unexpected danger threatens Henry’s livelihood―and life―it appears he may not have the chance to win Emily’s heart after all.

My Review
The Unassuming Curator is book five in the Georgian Gentlemen Series. It's such a sweet addition to the series. I loved how well the main characters Emily and Henry fit together. They both loved learning about new things and were studious. This is originally what brought them together. Henry is a curator for the natural history British Museum. I was very interested in the many things Henry was working on. I would love to go there someday. Emily loves reading and really doesn't love the whole "society" thing. It was fun seeing how their relationship developed.
I also loved having Phoebe and Adam from a previous book included in this novel. I also adored Henry's, Aunt Millward. Everyone should have a vivacious and smart Aunt to help them navigate life. She stole every scene she was in.
This book can be read as a stand-alone and enjoyed by readers. As I always say though, you will enjoy reading the whole series in the written order as many characters are seen in the other books. The Unassuming Curator is another lovely romance written by Sian Ann Bessey filled with humor, mystery, artifacts, and of course love.
