TO: The guy who dumped me because of my careerFROM: The woman hired to save yoursRE: I am 150,000% over you. Alastair,I’m on the 11:14 train out of London, so I’ll be there by 3:00. To make this as painless as possible, I thought it would help to establish key ground rules: 1. No rehashing our past relationship. Yes, we were engaged, but it’s been twelve years and I’m over you. 2. I’m very good … it’s been twelve years and I’m over you.
2. I’m very good at my job and that job is to help you shed the “reclusive” part of the whole “reclusive rock star” vibe you’ve got going on. Brace yourself.
3. My plan is to have this wrapped up by Friday, so save your smoldering looks until I’m gone, please. (I assume you still smolder?) I’m immune now. See item #1.
4. My cousin is getting married and guess who’s a bridesmaid? Funny, huh? Almost as funny as the fiancée you dumped because you thought she was married to her job now saving yours.
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Except almost. That one time.
Remi
P.S. Have I mentioned I’m totally, completely 150,000% over you?
MAID IN ENGLAND is a standalone second-chance romance that’s a little lighter on the heat, but heavy on the swoons.

Man am I torn on this book. All my feelings keep darting back and forth on what I loved and what I didn’t. Brenda St John’s writing is absolutely fantastic but I just felt no connection to the characters at all. I kept waiting for that moment when I would be really sucked in to the story and it unfortunately just did not happen for me. Without that connection everything just sort of fell flat for me.That said, it doesn’t mean Maid in England wouldn’t be someone else’s favorite read and Brenda’s writing definitely makes it worth trying out.
Witty and funny! Thank you Brenda St. John Brown for this charming story.
Loved the story and the wonderful characters. You know you are scared about love, when you keep getting in your way. It’s easy in today’s world for us to let our careers get in our way of love and happiness, but there has to be a happy medium. Remi Cooper finally at 35 years old finds her balance between work and actually having a life outside of work. Alistair Wells gave up on his relationship with Remi 12 years ago when he was to young to realize that their kind of love needs to be fought for to be kept. Now thrown together to boost his music career, Alistair uses everything he has to get his girl back, while Remi is trying to find her balance she realizes she never stopped loving Alistair.
Grab your copy to find out how Ziggy and Remi’s relationship is going and to see if Sarah will accept Remi in life as Alistair’s partner.
Again this is a charming read with great twists but nothing over the top, its very heartwarming to follow someone who goes from only having work 24/7 to finding friends and love.
