Beatrix and Christopher fall in love via letter as Beatrix writes to Christopher while he’s off fighting in a war. The only problem is, Beatrix is signing the letters using another woman’s name, so Christopher thinks he’s in love with that woman.

DNF at 71% There's just too much "I can barely contain my uncontrollable lust when I look at your shapely legs" for me. That, plus a couple of instances of "If you don't answer my question, I'm going to take you forcibly right now." Ew. I'm not going to waste another 2.5 hours on this.

Re-read. The following is my original review: 5⭐️ Absolutely obsessed with this! This whole series is incredible, but this one was so good. These characters were really special. I love Beatrix’s relationships with her siblings so much, especially Leo. I also thought that seeing Christopher struggle with the effects of war was so incredible. The author did an amazing job of portraying that. Their connection was really sweet and I loved their banter.
