Lessons in Love<\/a><\/em> (2008) Charlie Cochrane<\/a> (Cambridge Fellows)<\/p>\n

\"Lessons<\/a>Set in England in 1905.<\/p>\n

Jonty has returned to St Bride’s College as a fellow in English. He is immediately drawn to dark, silent, and grumpy mathematics fellow Orlando Coppersmith.<\/p>\n

The words aren’t used (because of the setting) but Orlando is very clearly demi.<\/p>\n

Orlando thought it strange, if other people were anything to go by, that he\u2019d reached the age of twenty-eight without finding anybody he wanted to be close to.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Orlando is incredibly naive (perhaps sheltered is a better term) and he has absolutely no idea about much of anything except mathematics.<\/p>\n

Peters was looking more and more uncomfortable. \u201cBut I\u2019m not so deeply immersed in the groves of academe as some of my colleagues and I do understand the nature of the things that can go on in a single-sex society. It\u2019s just possible that this is still a crime of passion and there be no woman involved.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I understand.\u201d Orlando looked from Jonty to Dr. Peters and back again. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll explain later.\u201d Jonty\u2019s voice was constrained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The mystery was fine, but I very much enjoyed the dynamic between Jonty and Orlando. This is one of their earlier books, so in places things aren’t as polished as the series I just finish, and the story doesn’t qualify as a cozy, as there is some minor sexual content, and a disturbing scene with the killer at the end of the book, but it’s engaging, and mostly sweet and I am going to read the next book.<\/p>\n

Perhaps right now.<\/p>\n
