Sass Meets Class

by Jill Hughey

Conversation gets pricklier than a cactus and desert temperatures are bound to rise when American common sense meets British nobility in Arizona Territory.

Susan Mellott doesn't pay much attention to the outlandish Englishman who joins her family for the last leg of their overland journey She considers Alexander Dorcester a source of bowing and boot-polishing amusement until he helps scare off a couple of curious Apaches on their last day on the trail. The Brit's and her paths part in Gateway, and even though she knows he will be visiting his parents just five miles away, her family's new general store requires so much attention she mostly forgets about the Redcoat. Until he arrives to do some shopping with his oh-so-proper mother. He returns alone the next month, then again the week after, and the week after. Not sure of his intentions, Susan decides to encourage Alex a little. Next thing she knows, he's bolted for England.

Or has he? Time and distance and secrets cannot end a friendship that is meant to be love.

Sass Meets Class. A sweet romance in which two mismatched people discover they are just what the other needs.

This was a fun American historical read with a bit of a melting pot feeling to it. With a large mixture of characters, the hodge-podge town embraces the feeling of the era as many American small towns began to form and try their luck in the West. With fun characters, especially the main two, you get a real feel for the setting and background of the story. Susan is a sweet girl, though a bit naive and stubborn. Alexander is a man who needs to figure out who he is, and how to deal with the woman he is coming to care for. Their romance is slow and sweet as they both learn more about who they are and what they want. A fun read and one that I would recommend.

PG
Do not be put off by the cheesy cover or the title. This is a substantive book that is sweet, tender, and romantic. I loved the story of the practical American Susan and the aristocratic Englishman Alexander. I loved how Susan was street smart and confident in her knowledge and how even though Alexander was way more educated than Susan he recognized her inner beauty and peace and loved her. It was swoony-good.
