It's the late 1870s in England when young American socialite Katherine visits the seaside town of Brighton. Feeling stifled by propriety and by her mother, Katherine disguises herself as a maid so that she can sightsee and finally have some fun. When she meets Graham Spencer, she has no idea that he is actually the sought-after Lord Avonleigh. Hijinks ensue as miscommunication and misunderstanding abound while the two fall in love. Graham is being forced to marry a very wealthy heiress in order to save his crumbling estate. He has never given into romantic notions until he met Katherine, and he considers perhaps making the maid his mistress to be the answer to his prayers.
VERDICT A heartwarming and amusing romance from Goodger (If I Wait for You), with steamy scenes and believable tension to keep the reader hoping that there could be a happy ending after all. The supporting characters have stories of their own, which helps to flesh out the main plot. Though a quick read, this title still feels worthy of a reader's time as the hero in Graham gives us all hope.
