Fun Story
Ten Rules introduces us to Arabella and Silas, she is a quiet woman who doesn’t care to be amongst the Ton, while Silas is considered a Rake who only wants to have fun. Set in Regency England, it helps if you know a little of how Society worked. Arabella’s oldest sister Alice has created a scandal which is now affecting their youngest sister Anne’s chances of marrying successfully. Arabella decides that to give Anne the best chance of finding her happiness, Arabella will have to find someone who is so high up the social ladder that they will be able to counteract the damage done by Alice. This man needs to be at least a Duke, and Arabella settles on convincing Silas, the Duke of Whittsley, to be the solution. The rest of the book deals with the interactions between Arabella and Silas, who come up with the Ten Rules near the beginning of the book. As in most romances, the road to the finish isn’t always easy, and their journey isn’t easy. My only “complaint” is that the book seemed to take a long time to get to the ending. It is well written, with interesting characters. I enjoyed Michelle McLean’s Hitched to a Gunslinger and this book is equal to that one. If Regency romances are something you enjoy, then this book will make you happy. I received this ARC from Entangled Publishing through NetGallery, and this is my honest opinion.
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
