Rules For Dating A Romantic Hero (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
This is the first book I have read by Harriet Evans and it was not until I had finished it that I realised that it was a sequel of A hopeless romantic. This I don't think matters, it can be read as a short stand alone story. The story is chaptered in rules, although they are rules it reads as a good story and flows well. We meet Nick and Laura. Nick has a royal heritage and Laura is your regular girl. Laura finds it hard to 'fit in' to what Nick's family want and she is unsure if she wants all that too. This is a light hearted, fun little novella, which is easily read in a few hours. It is typical chick lit and if you want a little short story for the beach this one is for you. I personally read in bed with a lovely cup of tea - either way it will leave you feeling a little fuzzy inside. I would read more from Harriet Evans. I was given this book as part of the Quick Reads 2014 promotion - I was very happy and excited to be part of this initiative and more than happy to review this wonderful Quick Read.It wasn't until I had finished reading this book did I realise it was a follow on to a previous book A Hopeless Romantic. At no point did I think I was missing something - I treated it like it should be as a bite sized story which stood well alone.Laura lacks confidence and can't quite believe she's hooked Nick so when a series of misunderstandings, his family and a big dollop of non-communication occurs things start to un-ravel resulting in Laura bolting back to London.Harriet did such a good job writing this novel, I was cursing every other page willing Nick to see what was under his nose and for Laura to stand up for herself. Then, just when you think it's all done and dusted Harriet throws a curve ball - did we get the happy ending after all? You'll have to read it for yourself to find out. I want to say thank you to Quick Reads for sending it to me. It was a lovely, short, story, written in such a way that I was immediately drawn into the novel. This was a perfect length to give a taster of an author's writing style. I hadn't previously read anything by Harriet Evans but look forward to doing so in the future. I can see it would also be the perfect length for trying out new genres without being over-faced by a long book that I might not enjoy.I commented on twitter about how much I enjoyed this book and through the course of a conversation ended up posting this book to Belgium for someone else to enjoy! All in all a job well done Quick Reads.
