Emilia “Emmie” Waldgrave is sick of being under her father’s thumb. He dangles her trust fund over her head, forcing her to comply with all of his many rules. When he tries to force her to marry a business partner’s son, she knows that she needs to make a change.
Enter Ruskin Roman.
Ruskin has been waiting to meet the girl that will one day be his wife. The groupies and other girls who throw themselves at him just because of his band have never interested him and he’s worried that he’s going to die a virgin. Then he walks into some deserted dive bar and sees her. That’s all it takes and Ruskin knows that he’s met his match. Will Ruskin be able to convince Emmie to take a chance on them before he has to leave for tour?
*Warning: This Leap Day love is an instalove romance. It’s over the top and sweet with a loveable goofball for a hero who knows how to treat his girl like a queen. Want a sweet story to read this leap year? Then look no further!
"Take a leap of faith and trust that this is real between us." - Ruskin Roman, Ch. 6
When Emmie met Ruskin, she was at the end of her rope. Suffocating to death under her father's iron thumb, she sneaked out of their home for a breather and met Ruskin at the local bar. A beer, a dance, and lots of laughter later, their encounter came to an end with neither of them able to forget about the other.
But her dad held the key to her financially stable future. Emmie knew obeying him was the only way to gain her trust fund, so why was taking a chance with Ruskin looking better and better?
Because it was.
Their love story was quick, without a lot of frills or bells or whistles. It was a debate--Ruskin doing his best to convince Emmie what they had was worth pursuing, Emmie struggling to find a reason strong enough to stand against his emotional and heartfelt reasoning. Lucky for them both, Ruskin won.
They never regretted taking that leap of faith into the unknown either.
I liked this story. It's typical Ms. Hart style and voice, but it was her presentation of Ruskin that made my heart smile and warm. He wasn't pushy or arrogant or an alpha-hole. He was fun, playful, attentive, and so, so loving toward Emmie. Ruskin was what Emmie needed him to be--a knight in black jeans and t-shirt armor with a heart of gold.
