I've always enjoyed Suzanne G. Rogers' books, but Rumer Has It hit a new high mark on my list of favorites.
It is 1910 in Charleston, South Carolina, and Jocelyn Rumer Conroy is an exception to the rule as a young woman working in the local newspaper business. A chance encounter with a red roadster leads to an intriguing work relationship with Piers Wilde, a noted journalist recently from NYC.
Confusion, hope and romance ensues as Jocelyn and Piers negotiate their work lives as well as their family relationships, which threaten to stymie any possibility of a happy future for the two.
The story plays out with missed communication, opportunity and a chance at a future together with a very satisfying ending.
However, that is not the best thing about Rumer Has It. Ms. Rogers, for the first time, made me cry. Rogers wrote so movingly about a mystery character who affected Piers' life through her absence, that I was reduced to tears. The scene was beautiful and heartfelt, and brought an unexpected emotional connection between me and the characters. It was amazing.
Readers will enjoy the plot of the story, the tensions between family, work and society and the theme of relationships lost and found, and are likely to find themselves surprisingly caught up with the feelings of the characters in a tender scene. Well done, Suzanne G. Rogers. Brava!

Rumer's Wilde!
Set in the Edwardian era, this is a fun enemies-to-lovers romance where newspaper gossip columnist Jocelyn Rumer Conroy, keeps clashing with the paper's new senior editor, Piers Wilde.
Piers decides to replace Jocelyn's column with a "he says/she says" advice column. The two of them keep trying to second guess each other's intentions and it works itself into their column - & out of it as well!
This was so very entertaining, and the romance is spicy sweet! Each of the main characters has parental issues that both complicate & simplify things for them. The ending is the total package happily-ever-after that is Suzanne Roger's trademark!
*Clean romance level: passionate kisses, nothing graphic

Another hit by Suzanne Rogers!
A lovely tale of a thoroughly modern Millie who didn’t know she was! A hard working woman in the male dominated world of journalism didn’t know she was breaking barriers; she just hoped the love she found was real .....and it was! 😀 Set in Charleston, Joselyn Rumor would have been my heroine!

Totally enjoyed this early 1900s romance about a newspaper man, Piers, coming home to tend to his father in Charleston, working temporarily at the local newspaper to increase sales in preparation of the owner selling it at a good profit. In doing so, he meets Jocelyn with many background similarities and problems, beauty, motivation, and intelligence and obviously are attracted, but not without complications. Good character development with similar family background issues bring them together, despite difficulties. Recommended for those who enjoy a sweet and clean romance (with a lovely cover) of the era.

Set in an unusual setting, Rumer Has It sees a spunky advice columnist writer pitted against, and falling for her handsome, intriguing, infuriating, to-die-for editor. ;) Secrets abound but what'll Rumer do when love hit the headlines? You'll have to read Rumer Has It to find out.
I enjoyed this book particularly loved Piers and I think historical romance fans (or fans of Downtown Abbey) will too!
