nicolealycia 's review for:

Rules for Ruin by Mimi Matthews
4.5
hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This book was such a fun time! The banter was witty and smart, the characters were loveable with a dark side, and the story was engaging start to finish!
This story follows Effie Flite and her attempts to take down the man who stole the fortune and ruined her benefactor. But she doesn’t expect to meet a charming man with a darker side in one Gabriel Royce. 
Set slightly post regency era, there was no spice in this one but it really worked for me. I loved reading about their budding relationship and all their endeavors throughout the book! I’ll definitely be checking out the next one when it comes out!
