Three years into the Great War, England’s greatest asset is their intelligence network–field agents risking their lives to gather information, and codebreakers able to crack every German telegram. Margot De Wilde thrives in the environment of the secretive Room 40, where she spends her days deciphering intercepted messages. But when her world is turned upside down by an unexpected loss, for the first time in her life numbers aren’t enough.
Drake Elton returns wounded from the field, followed by an enemy who just won’t give up. He’s smitten quickly by the intelligent Margot, but how can he convince a girl who lives entirely in her mind that sometimes life’s answers lie in the heart?
Amid biological warfare, encrypted letters, and a German spy who wants to destroy not just them but others they love, Margot and Drake will have to work together to save themselves from the very secrets that brought them together.

Summary
The Number of Love by Rosanna White was a very enjoyable read and my first book by Roseanna. I was thrilled to learn it is book one in the Codebreakers Series! I will be looking for the next in the series and have already added most of her previous books to my TBR list.
She created a remarkable character in both Margot and Drake. Margot is the only woman codebreaker in Room 40. She is wicked smart. Picture a female Sheldon . She deciphers codes that have been intercepted. She thinks in numbers.
Drake was adorable. He accepted that she was crazy smart and was intrigued by her even more; not intimidated. He was perfect for her which was shown in how he decided to woo her.
I enjoyed her relationship with Drakes sister as much as I did her relationship with Drake. Roseanna was able to capture the acceptance and friendship of two women that very different from each other.
There was also a captivating mystery with the story. Truly I would have loved the story even if it was just the relationships. They were that good.
