Publisher Description

She's a maid-of-all-work, and he's a valet of no play...

 

John Toogood always prided himself on being the perfect gentleman's gentleman: skilled, discreet, and professional. But now he finds himself laid off and blacklisted, stuck in tiny Lively St. Lemeston until he can find a new job. Any job.

 

His instant attraction to his happy-go-lucky maid Sukey Grimes couldn't come at a worse time. Her manners are provincial, her respect for authority nonexistent, and her outdated cleaning methods...well, the less said about them, the better.

 

Sukey can tell that John's impeccably impassive facade hides a lonely man with a gift for laughter—and kissing. But she also knows he'll leave her sleepy little town behind the moment he gets the chance, and she has no intention of giving him her heart to take with him.

 

John learns that the town vicar needs a butler—but the job is only for a respectable married man. Against both their better judgments, John and Sukey tie the knot. The ring isn't on her finger long before Sukey realizes she underestimated just how vexing being married to the boss can be...

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“I’m a nosy person—my fictional escapism does not require escaping fictional work. I love seeing the cogs in the machine, the competency and failings of the worker, the worries of the people in a specific culture. Rose Lerner delivers this with each book, and as a butler-lover, this one had me hook, line, and sinker from the get-go. I somehow missed that this was an age-gap romance, so that took me by surprise, but it’s dealt with carefully. This is an insta-lust romance, but these two tangle themselves into ribbons over their own hang-ups and miscommunications that the sexual tension was actually a breath of relief from the other tension! So I was fine with it for the most part. And for all their miscommunication, these characters talk out their problems as much as they can, and I ATE THAT UP. These 2 kept trying and trying, slamming into metaphorical walls and running up figurative stairs to make the relationship work because they WANT it to work, and thats what I sign up for in a romance.”
