3.7 stars. This was a really sweet and cute novella. Too short, IMO but I suppose I'm just not cut out for short stories.I loved Eleanor from the very beginning. I love heroines who pine away after the heroes and are in love with them from the beginning. But this story got to me - I found myself actually taking Eleanor's side instead of Henry, the hero. And when that happens, circumstances are very severe indeed. Because I'm always, always, always on the hero's side. I loved the passion between the two and also the *ahem* bedroom scene. Took my breath away. As for Henry, admitted, he was a bit of an ass but he makes up for it later.Now let's move onto the French maid. She was a hoot, calling both of them lazy! I admired her audacity, I wish I could read more books where she plays a hand in the union of more couples. Or, even better, I'd like to see her in a novel of her own.
