"The Rules of Gentility" would be a good read for fans of historical romance novels. The unique and distinctive feature of the book is the heroine's strong opinions about men and clothing, which distinguishes her from other regency-era heroines. The book's most interesting aspect is the relationship between Philomena and Inigo, which develops in an unexpected way. Readers would appreciate the author's vivid description of the clothing and fashion of the era, which are integral to the story.
