Heart of Mine has everything I've come to expect of Ms Beattie's books: wonderful, believable characters who fight for what they want and a well plotted, well paced story that engages me from beginning to end.This novella is shorter than her usual offerings and it felt a bit rushed at times, especially in the transformation of the hero's opinion about his new bride.  But that is minor compared to the depth and richness of the characters and the details of their lives that Ms Beattie crafts into a story of a marriage of inconvenience which culminates in love.This 3 hour read is well worth your time if you want to sink into a story of simpler times with characters who make you root for them from the first page.
