   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  DramPan | Sep 6, 2023 |    ) JorgeousJotts | Jul 21, 2023 | Ugg! I just couldn't. Do not recommend. (  ) mbosvyle | Oct 8, 2022 | “Rules for Heiresses” is a childhood friends-to-enemies-to-lovers historical romance that centers around a rebellious, opinionated spitfire of an heiress and a shunned or more-so once thought dead duke who meet in the most unlikely circumstances and are forced to marry after being caught in an a compromising situation. Cue in the wishy-washy should they, shouldn’t they act on their desires while struggling with their inner turmoil about why the relationship wouldn’t work plot. The back and forth, particularly in Lord Courtland case, was repetitive and the storyline itself drawn out in some parts but overall, this was a fairly decent novel. I enjoyed the banter, pining, and sizzling chemistry between the leads, and despite the heroine being a ‘virgin bride’, she was far from shy in embracing her desires. And shockingly enough, had a backbone. Hooray! All in all, an impressive read and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. (  ) ayoshina | Jul 31, 2022 | Historical romance. Subsequent to The Princess Stakes but not labeled as a series. Can be read as a stand-alone but I think better if you’ve read the prior. Touches on mixed race parentage. Ravenna and Courtland were childhood friends until he was sent away by his stepmother. They meet again and are caught in an compromising position and are forced to return home. He must take on the title of Duke even though his family previously declared him dead and his stepbrother holds himself out as the Duke. A fun pairing. Ravenna is wild and unconventional, and Courtland is contrary and uncommon. They play off each other well and their attraction to each other includes plenty of steamy encounters. Corruption and lies must be untangled which adds depth and intrigue to storyline. I liked Ravenna’s strength of character and willingness to jump into any situation. The epilogue was fantastic in wrapping up all the loose end and character questions. I received a copy of this from NetGalley. I purchased a paperback copy to gift.

Like any other Amalie H book, I enjoyed the characters. My favorite without question was Ravenna. I loved her spirit of adventure and her take charge view on her life. Courtland was okay but he drove me nuts in the middle and near the end although he ultimately redeemed himself.
This book is high on the shenanigans and family estrangement but I didn't mind it. It was fun seeing Sarani and Rhy again! Also I liked the resolution of one of Cordy's siblings.
A very solid 3.5 stars.
Thanks so much to the publishers and NetGalley for the ARC. (
