Review: Improper Relations
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 20, 2012
Widowed Hannah, who serves a distant family member as a lady's maid, is in the family library working on something and since she wishes to remain alone, hides when she hears someone enter the room.  She is both mortified and titillated to witness Leo, the youngest son, having a sexual encounter with a housemaid.  Turns out, Leo knew she was there and approaches her with a proposition.While the premise is a bit salacious, Improper Relations ends up being a sweet, albeit short, love story.  What starts out as a learning experience for Hannah blooms into a romantic and emotional relationship for both Hannah and Leo.As with any romance, there are obstacles, and the roadblocks in this story necessitate a tissue or two.The ending was a bit too pat and the resolution was handled much too quickly, but other than that, this was a really enjoyable story, and I'll probably add it to my keeper folder to reread when I need a certain kind of HEA.I am reviewing a copy of Improper Relations provided to me by NetGalley.
