Resumen del Editor

From the author of Mr. Malcolm's List comes a delightful romantic comedy set in Regency England about a widow who takes high society by storm.

Diana Boyle, a wealthy young widow, has no desire to ever marry again. Particularly not to someone who merely wants her for her fortune.

So when she discovers that she’s listed in a directory of rich, single women she is furious, and rightly so. She confronts Maxwell Dean, the man who published the Bachelor’s Directory, and is horrified to find he is far more attractive than his actions have led her to expect. However, Diana is unmoved by Max’s explanation that he authored the list to assist younger sons like himself who cannot afford to marry unless it’s to a woman of means.

She gathers the ladies in the directory together to inform them of its existence, so they may circumvent fortune hunters’ efforts to trick them into marriage. Though outraged, the women decide to embrace their unique position of power and reverse the usual gender roles by making the men dance to their tune. And together…the ladies rewrite the rules.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Allain’s Regency romance engagingly features wronged women who empower each other to take control of their love lives. The power-play dynamics between Diana and Max offer enjoyable fun.”—Library Journal

“A fun, light-hearted Regency romp about changing society from the inside.”—Kirkus

"[I]nnovative... The novel’s true strength lies in the friendship between the bold heroines. These engaging women will appeal to fans of Mimi Matthews and Julie Klassen."—Publishers Weekly

Wonderful Story!

Loved this book! The characters have such whit you can’t help but be drawn in. The author does a wonderful job of giving just the right amount of romance and intrigue with regal dignity. I absolutely loved this book and recommend all to read.

Wonderful book

The only negative I can find to say about this is that I listened too fast and it ended too soon for me, that’s how great it is!

Very cute!

This was a fun, quick and enjoyable story. The author obviously enjoyed taking liberties with her group of ladies making it a fun read.

I love rule breakers👍

I love Allain's stories. Sophisticated, clean, fun and flirty.
In this story, she once again tackles societal rules, while keeping her heroine, chaste, virtuous and hopeful. Her stories can teach how boys need to grow up to be honorable men, young ladies can remain clean but still enjoy their youth and all can have clean courtships.

The voice actor, beautiful performance lovely breathy voice. bravo.

I love that the protagonist was not the normal young lady.

The book was performed wonderfully and the story itself is delightfully written. This is my third book by the author and I think each one gets better.

Does not disappoint!!!

I have read/listened to a couple of other books by Suzanne Allain, including Mr. Malcolm’s List, and Miss Lattimore’s Letter. I loved both of those novels and absolutely loved listening to the Ladies Rewrite the Rules. I loved the twist on traditional roles of men and women and how the tables were turned in this novel. I loved the witty humor. The story is an exciting and fun read. Excellent! I will buy the book and will read it again for sure. I have already read her others multiple times!

Over all good read.

It's over all a good story but took too long for the main characters to get anywhere.
