Unjustly labeled a flirt, Kitty Beaucroft is in need of a
fiancé. Lord Philip Butler’s father wants him to settle down before he can
become a landowner. With no intention of following through, Kitty and Philip
enter into a temporary engagement as a means to an end. Unfortunately, someone
knows the truth and is determined to expose them. Will the ruse turn into a
romance before it’s too late?
My Thoughts…
My ONLY complaint is that Ruse and Romance left me craving
more. This is a shorter story and it
managed to pull me in from the very beginning and kept me in until the very
last page. I even took it with me in
the car and read while sitting in the drive thru at the bank. S.G. Rogers was able to write a story that in
just a few pages, the characters were well developed and likeable (well most of
them were likable), the plot was well developed and engaging, and the reader
was thoroughly entertained.
The story of Kitty and Philip is heart tugging sweet. While they are not instantly in love, the
immediate attraction is obvious. It was
fun to watch them circle each other and try to figure out what was romance and
what was the ruse part of their relationship.
I do not fault Kitty for how she felt, she is young and naïve. Philip was great. I loved the scenes when Kitty arrives at his
country estate and he reacts to her arrival.
Ruse and Romance is a short story that I am happy to
recommend.
