The Ladies Rewrite the Rules is a sweet, mostly low stakes, historical romance. For some reason I had convinced myself that this was a f/f book; alas, it was not. I did generally find the characters likable though they did seem to suffer from a lack of development. Of course, this was a fairly short book coming in at under 300 pages so that along with the quick, almost rushed, plot makes sense. I was intrigued by the synopsis, a second son creates a list of well off women for other second sons to peruse until they can find a wife, only the women on the list find out and seek revenge. Once the plot pick up on that which the title implies (the ladies rewriting the rules, obviously), I did like the sequence of events. I was a bit turned off by the perspective as it would quite randomly focus of characters that while a part of the plot were not central to the love story.
Overall, The Ladies Rewrite the Rules is a short and sweet historical romance that I would recommend for anyone looking to start out in the genre.
