Yep. Mercedes Lackey. It's sort of a fantasy/romance novel, partially following the story of Beauty and the Beast, where the heroine is studious in a time she's supposed to be quiet and find a good husband. She gets hired to help the hero with his studies, and is the exact opposite of the average 'too stupid to live' heroine. "A locked door? It's probably locked for a reason. I'll go check out the rest of the mansion."
The hero's rich, and while keeping the pretense of being proper and it being business expenses, he arranged for a visit to the city with an appointment with an optometrist (her prescription needed to be updated) and a visit to the bookstore where she could get anything she wanted.
Thinking about it, this is a very minor aspect of the novel, but it made me go 'awwww!'
