When Susan first encounters George, she finds His Loftiness, as she so entitles him, to be arrogant and rude, and Susan hopes to never encounter the man again. Unfortunately, His Loftiness is a friend of her brother, and His Loftiness finds himself in need of Susan’s help. This isn’t a simple favor, and Susan’s response will change both her and His Loftiness’s lives forever.

Susan and George’s story is far-fetched in a way that seems possible when immersed in their story but preposterous once readers step away. In that same regard, I enjoyed the story while I was reading it, though I have a hard time believing the romance because it feels secondary to George’s dilemma, which wasn’t as interesting as the romance. Overall, Tuft’s book makes for a nice afternoon read.
