Kitty is a widow living with her mother in law in a perpetual state of grief. When she gets an opportunity to visit s friend and perhaps meet a man looking for a wife, she jumps at the chance. Arc from NetGalley.

An honest portrayal of a marriage of convenience standalone romance with two compelling protagonists, engaging narrative, and a strong well plotted storyline. Quite enjoyable as our couple explores their new marriage with open eyes and expectations. My only complaint is I wish the time frame matched the emotional development.

Grade: C+
