So I was a total sucker for the fact that this had so many little The Sound of Music inspired things in it! 
 Also I love the hero in this. They always have their flaws, but I love the ones who's weaknesses are along the lines of "sad, intellectual, loner just looking for a break" vs. "dissolute rake to be reformed by nice girl". 
 The whole lack of a chaperone bit was a stretch as well as her taking off to see a strange man in the first place. But ya know what?
