A review by ccgwalt
At Your Service by Sandra Antonelli

4.0

This is definitely one wild ride for Kitt and Mae. The plot is complex and convoluted, and there is really no way to figure out what is going on until it's all revealed. The fact that Kitt turns out to be hiding things make it even more confusing. Still I couldn't help liking him, although I felt Mae might have forgiven him a little too quickly.

Kitt in At Your Service reminds me a little of Kit in K.J. Charles Will Darling Adventures. Both are hiding more than they are sharing and although they care about the other person (Will and Mae), they still deceive them. I find this Kitt a little more relatable.

Antonelli's writing style is different from what I'm used to in romantic suspense, and although this is definitely suspense and there is definitely a romance building, I'm not inclined to give it the RS label. While part of the story is watching Mae and Kitt figure out their own feelings and motivations, that is not the focus of the book. The relationship development, or perhaps it's better to say relationship revelations, are seamlessly woven into the action and the mystery. The reader isn't sure where their relationship is eventually headed for most of the book.
