Raised in service on a large estate, John Toogood is an exceptional, if starchy, valet. Then his circumstances change, and he ends up as a butler, something he'd never wanted to be, and finds he has a lot to learn—not all of it to his liking. Susan "Sukey" Grimes, the young maid he marries, has a lot to learn as well, but they complement each other beautifully as they work through various family problems and issues of their own. An unconventional maid-of-all-work and a very proper gentleman's gentleman agree to wed in order to attain better positions and unintentionally find love and understanding.
VERDICT This well-researched, erotically tinged romance captures the flavor of rural Sussex in a romance that highlights the lives of the servants instead of their employers. Lerner (True Pretenses) lives in Seattle.
