Easy to read if you try not think about the theme of strong woman being 'tamed'. I tried not to and actually enjoyed some parts.

Rules for a Lady gets the distinction of being the first historical romance (adult) novel that I've ever read. I'm practically a veteran in romance novels by now, but I can still remember the shock of my first real romance novel. Nicholas Spark's (or Uncle Nicky as I refer to him myself) books don't count. They're not sexy enough. The chemistry in Rules for a Lady was off the charts even if the plot was formulaic and predictable. Everyone needs a little romance once in a while. I'm just glad I have a Kindle now so that my mom doesn't need to see all my smutty romance books on my bookshelf. It's just not necessary. This novel was good enough, but I think you guys can do better.
