Francis Riley, the Earl of Dunhurst, used to be a carefree child, but things had happened in his life to turn his world upside down. He had enjoyed his life with his friends, but after the upheaval in his life, he even resented their joy, so he kept himself distant from them. But seeing how all signs of life seemed to leave Emily when she discovered how Adrian and Kate had betrayed her made him angry. He had found her when she ran away after hearing the announcement and had decided to take her and her sisters to London for a while to help her forget. During this time, he begins to see a new, stronger Emily surfacing – a woman he could love. But with all of his secrets, could he convince her that he was worthy of her love?
An enchanting story, HOW MISS RUTHERFORD GOT HER GROOVE BACK is a passionate, witty historical romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. As children, both Francis and Emily had been happy children, but it took a major upheaval in both of their lives before they discovered their feelings for each other. I loved watching how Francis’ personality blossomed as the story progressed and his pride in seeing Emily overcome her circumstances. Although she had deeply loved both of her parents, she had always felt that she could rely on Adrian and that he would always be there for her. So it was the deceit of her two friends that nearly destroyed her…until Francis showed her a whole new side of life. A touching story, imbued with complex friendships, interesting characters, sizzling sensuality, humor, clever dialogue, secrets, honor and true love, this is a story that you won’t be able to put down. I recommend it. Be sure to get your own copy and discover for yourself just HOW MISS RUTHERFORD GOT HER GROOVE BACK.
