4.0

This short historical romance is both quiet and lovely, and in particular the careful, sensitive attention Mimi Matthews paid to Beryl's mental health throughout the course of this book really stood out to me in a genre where there aren't a lot of books with the same sort of focus.  Mark and Beryl have richly earned their happily ever after, and rarely have I been so happy for two characters by the end of a book.
