If romantic comedies are your thing, you might enjoy this one as
the novel is arranged as a series of chapters set out as rules. Rule
One: Shoot Anyone Who Compares you to Kate Middleton, Rule Six: Don't
storm out after a row. You may say things you regret, and besides,
servants hear everything. But it's jot just the chapter titles that are
likely to have you in stitches. There are twelve in all, all with
humorous titles. Evans uses popular characters from romantic novels and
TV series to get the message across that Laura's romance is anything but
perfect as it would for characters from Downton Abbey and Pride and
Prejudice. Being a rich man, everyone expects wedding bells
from the couple, though when Laura evades the rumours and it becomes
obvious they aren't getting wed, tongues begin to wag as there is no
reason why they shouldn't get hitched. Rules for Dating a Romantic Hero by Harriet Evans is a comical and
turbulent look at a modern day Mr D'arcy and Miss Bennett. Watch out
Pride and Prejudice - here the sparks will really fly!
