At Your Service by Sandra Antonelli
5.0
This was the most surprising book. I've read Sandra Antonelli before and I've always appreciated how she doesn't consider characters over 40 to be dead, but I didn't expect this one at ALL.
Mae is smart, organized, amazingly competent and still grieving her late husband when she takes on a new tenant, Major Kitt. She then becomes his butler. He pays her rent for his lodging and she makes his scrambled eggs and cleans up his booze and the female debris left behind after his numerous conquests.
And then the trouble starts and doesn't stop. And they are in the thick of it.
Kitt is not quite James Bond, but there is some definite channeling of Daniel Craig here. He's usually quite competent but Mae throws him off his game.
I love that Mae is older than he is. I love that he values so much more about her than her scrambled eggs with Bernaise.
I don't want to spoil too much, but this is a tour de force.
Read it.
And I'm very encouraged about that Book 1 signifier up there in the title.
