What an absolutely beautiful and enchanting story!For two days I have been embroiled in the delightful romance between Emma and Marcus - two of the strongest and most endearing characters I have ever had the pleasure to come across.Marcus has terrible injuries, but it is easy to over look the references to his accident and disfiguration because his personality is so strong. The disfiguration serves to endear him to readers, but not in a way that attracts pity. We see what Emma sees, his strength of character, his mannerisms, his charm. If you don't fall hopelessly in love with Marcus...well, let's just say I can't imagine any woman not adoring the man, he is delicious...and those first few nights when he tends to her cut leg - very, very captivating and beautifully written.Emma is a brilliantly crafted character. She absolutely melts your heart and is a perfect match for Marcus. The trials that life has thrown at this girl are many, yet despite her challenges she rises with courage and determination to face her problems. For the love of her man she hatches a plan that could go very wrong. I will leave you to find out how it all turns out, but it will have you shouting at your kindle and crying with frustration at her stubbornness and sense of right and wrong.As much as I adore Emma as a character, I must confess to being rather jealous of her...oh you lucky, stubborn lady (don't throw it all away).This is a classy book, written by a classy lady. The characters are expertly crafted and the plot is brilliant. If you are looking for a story of love then you will be hard pushed to find better than this book. `Her Reluctant Groom' is a story that will stay with me for a very long time. My sincere thanks to Rose Gordon for writing this story - it has been an absolute joy to read.
