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.

5 stars. If I could give this an infinite amount of stars I would.

Reread: 5 stars again I just love Christopher and Beatrix so much😭💗

Reread 2/12/23: this book keeps me sane, this book keeps me sane, this book keeps me sane, THIS BOOK KEEPS ME SANE!!!! Yeah this is probably my favorite Kleypas and I’m so sorry to Chasing Cassandra and Scandal in Spring. I finished 75% of it in a day and just UGH this book is a hug like truly it’s just so good. Infinite amount of stars yet again

4.0

Honestly, the redemption book that the Hathaways needed in my opinion (esp after the first two being wild with their slurs for the Romani people, two main characters fitting the Romani stereotypes, etc.). I really enjoyed the angst of leading up to the moment that Christopher found out that Beatrix was the one that was writing the love letters to him all along. I'm that that there wasn't too much coming between them once that bridge had been crossed, but leading up to it was so so good. Great plot and idea for the main love interest. Also there are mentions of Christopher having war PTSD and the affects that can have on people's relationships with him. Only have it 4 ⭐️ because I felt the ending could have been fleshed out more and that the conflict resolution was too rushed at the end.

Decorated war hero with PTSD and his peculiar neighbor fall in love via letters she wrote as her more conventional friend. Shenanigans ensue. I really liked this book, but maybe shouldn't have read a book about a war with Russia while Russia is actively attacking Ukraine. I appreciated Captain Phelan's criticisms of war as much as I appreciated Bea's interactions with Phelan's dog.
