The Rules:A lady should always make polite conversation . . .Theresa Weller understands the rules of decorum, and is appalled when Colonel Bartholomew James disrupts a perfectly civilized dinner. This rude, insensitive man is the complete opposite of everything a gentleman should be—but with one searing kiss, Tess can think of no one else.A lady should never lose her temper . . .Aggravated beyond bearing by a man who speaks his mind, Tess wishes there was a guide to men like Bartholomew. Surely, with such an assortment of handsome, polite suitors to choose from, Tess should not ache for him.And a lady should never pursue a gentleman.She invites him on carriage rides and dares him to dance, and almost makes him want to return to Society. Bartholomew knows Tess wants to be seen as a proper miss, but deep down, he knows she is precisely the sort to spark his desire . . . A most improper lady.

Oddly, I was pretty sure I'd dislike this. I haven't read a Suzanne Enoch novel before and some of my friends didn't like the novel, so I was expecting a boring ride. Instead, I met a heroine who may be flawed, but is strong, feisty and determined. She is matched with a man as strong-willed as she is, only he has issues with a capital I. Only a woman with Theresa's temperament could put up with our angsty, pain-filled hero. That's enough for me to forgive the one-dimensional villain and overly dramatic ending.
