Benedict Grey has returned from Greece after several years on an archeological expedition. He is reunited with his old friend, Lady Honoria Maitland, leading to an arrangement proposed by Honoria herself. She suggests a pretend courtship to help Benedict, a wallflower, reintegrate into society and fulfill her father's wishes before he passes away. However, Honoria's plan overlooks the emotions that emerge, not just within Benedict's heart, but within her own as well.

This is a simple romance. Nothing more and nothing less. Sometimes that’s all I’m looking for, and this delivered exactly that. Our two main characters have known each other since childhood, so they didn’t have to get to know each other as other romances.

I listened to the audio version and the narrator had such a soothing voice! I could have listened to him for hours! Sadly, this novella meant the audiobook was only two and a half hours long.

This also eventually has him explaining it to fellow classmates because they see it as boring, but it is not. It has many great math concepts to use in a class. I would not read it as an read aloud, but take some parts of it to introduce a certain topic such as probability. I would also have it in my classroom library for my middle school students so they are able to read it on their own and to see that math is everywhere. Such a informative book and relatable book for middle school adolescents. This can also be used across content areas as well such as science and ELAR.… (mere)
