What I'm Reading: A Christmas Spark (Diana Biller)

This is a VERY short story, with almost no angst to it at all. But it's Christmas, so who cares? It also has a very steampunky feel to it, which I love. The h/h are both scientists, the hero is a total cinnamon roll, and there's ice-skating. Also, I love the cover.

The author has three books (this and two others) that I assume are linked in some fashion; this one is set in the 1840s, the other two are set in the 1870s and the heroes in all three books have the last name Moore. 

I'm assuming a family connection and that THIS Moore might be the father of the other two. I've ordered one of the other books in hopes of finding out, but I REALLY wish authors would make things like that more obvious on their websites.

Winnifred can’t believe her luck! She’s been hired to work for renowned scientist John Moore - which in 1843 is the next best thing to being a scientist herself. Unfortunately, she didn’t expect to find his very presence so… distracting during experiments.

 John thinks Winnifred Byrne is a disaster of an assistant. She makes a dreadful cup of tea and has caused not one but multiple explosions! Except...she's warm, funny, brilliant, and to make matters much worse, is probably the most beautiful woman he's ever met.

 As the snow falls and their friendship deepens, one thing becomes clear: he’s met his match in more ways than one.
