I rather liked it, though there are some problems with the historical accuracy... I am 100% certain that NO English lady would wear a la Grecienne in the middle of the winter as day dress how ever “fashionable” it was. And... how common was it for a kitchen maid to rise to become a housekeeper? Especially in a household that seemingly didn't have a butler. And would a single lord keep a household without a butler, but with a housekeeper? Also, the guests would leave tips whether they knew the servant had inherited or not, because that's what you did. And the lord was a bit too comfy in the kitchen with the ladies. But - who cares. It was entertaining, very entertaining. They even managed to wind in a murder mystery! (Or murder attempt mystery, to be precise :-D) The romancing wasn't too heavy either, so I don't think this counts as a romance novel either... hmm... cozy mystery?
