"The Unlikely Master Genius" by Carla Kelly 2018
Volume One in the St. Brendan Series
Able Six was on half-pay from the Navy during the time of the Truce of Amiens. He took a position of teaching two sons of a country Vicar who was too busy to continue with his son's lessons. There he met the love of his life, Meridee Bonfort. After knowing her for only a month, he married her.
Meridee saw something amazing in Able when he was visiting her brother who was as attorney. She saw his eyes scanning all the book titles behind her brother. She later found that he had memorized all of them. Whatever he read, he remembered. Whatever he experienced, her remembered. She knew in her heart that he needed her.
Able got a position of teaching at St. Brendan the Navigator School. This school was an experiment in taking in boys who came from workhouses. They then trained them to serve in the fleet. Meridee and Able were asked to take in four of the younger boys who needed extra attention but it wasn't only the boys who needed the extra attention but Able when the war broke out again. Very different but great story. Happy Reading! ReadingGenie
