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

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.
