Summary: Five stars PLUS
Comment: There has been quite a buzz about this book - Rules of Engagement - and now I know why! In 2002 it won the creme de la creme in unpublished romance awards: the coveted Golden Heart. On top of that Romantic Times BOOKclub magazine gave it 4 and a half stars/Top Pick this month. It's been a long wait to get to read this gem and I devoured it upon arrival like any true romance lover. Here's what made me love it: It has a refreshingly original plot that stands apart from the same old tired stories I've seen all too often. In this book two batty old aunts find a military strategy text, "Rules of Engagement," and mistake it for a guide to getting engaged. With a lovely, yet fairly unwilling, niece tucked firmly under their wings, they set out on their mission with often times hilarious consequences. All the characters are wonderfully drawn with believable conflict and exciting plot twists.
I could not put this book down. Furthermore, the chapter teaser for this author's next book (at the end of this book)has me hooked. I've already pre-ordered it!

Summary: GREAT Debut Book: funny, romantic, and a pure delight!
Comment: Kathryn Caskie is a writer who has a long career as an author ahead of her if this book reflects even a fraction of her overall talent. Her characters sparkle with life, and I truly regretted leaving the aunts, Letitia and Viola, behind when the story ended. However, I am happy to hear they will be back for the second book. The main characters, Mangus (great name) and Eliza, are definitely headed in different directions at the beginning of this amusing tale, but Ms. Caskie's wit and sense of fun keeps the lovers and the readers guessing, though the aunts have no doubt at all that the lovers are meant for each other. Speaking of characters, Eliza's sister was a favorite of mine, and the interactions between the sisters tell me that she has a well-developed sister experience for they were amusing, real and especially wonderful. I urge anyone who wants a bit of fun to escape into this delightful Regency world Ms. Caskie has created. It is a marvelous book. It certainly made me laugh, but the romance and the depth and care she put into each of her characters made it a definite keeper and one of my favorite reads. Now I can't wait for Kathryn Caskie's next book.

Summary: Fun, sexy book
Comment: Just finished reading Rules of Engagement. I am a huge romance fan and I stayed up all night to finish this book which to me is a sign that it is a wonderful book. The hero, Magnus is very sexy (I love Scotsmen/quilts!) and the heroine is an independent lady whose tries very hard to follow her pre-arranged plans with little success. They have great chemistry and her funny aunts only added to the flavor of the book. There are times when this author reminds me of bestselling authors Cathy Maxwell and Julia Quinn. If you like these authors and others, you'll love this book. Happy reading!
