I like this book because for once it gave us a glimpse into the life of a servant who also happens to be the hero of the story. Other books have had either the hero or heroine dressed up and ACTING like a servant, but it was a ploy and they were really an aristocrat. But this was original in that the hero really WAS poor and uneducated. There was no long lost rich family he could claim by the end of the book(again, as some books have done). Some parts of the book were slow and the affair wasnt the steamiest, but because of the originality I could overlook these things. A nice first book by this author.
