Product Description
Is love ever enough? Thea - sensible and cautious - has always believed in old-fashioned romance. Her best friend Alice is more of a 'fun first, think later' kind of girl. But just recently they've both been behaving out of character. When Thea Luckmore falls head over heels for a man she meets on Primrose Hill and Alice Heggarty marries her best friend Mark, both women are blissfully happy - for a while. But it's not long before Alice admits to herself she likes the thrill of the chase more than the easy pace of married life. And then Thea makes a shocking discovery - one which forces her to rewrite her rules for everlasting love !

3.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful but easy read, 19 Mar 2006
By A Customer
I read this book for 'light relief' after a previous couple of heavy novels I'd made my way through. It didn't quite reach my unfair expectations - the shocking secret that Thea discovered about Saul is not what I expected it to be. But I found most of the others outcomes quite predictable.
Some of it was a bit too 'nice' for my liking ... maybe I'm just jealous that there are people out there that can afford to buy in London at all, let alone within their 'chosen postcodes', and furnish their apartments with items that don't come from Ikea!
Like one other reader, I found the graphic sex moments a little too descriptive for my liking.
It was thought provoking and I felt it dealt with some issues that some typical chick-lit fails to mention. So well done Ms North!

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the others!, 27 Sep 2005
By Sue B (Salisbury, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Rules (Paperback)
Having read all Freya North's other books, I've never really decided if I particularly like her style of writing but I have to say this is her best one yet. Only on the rare occasion in this book does she revert to dialogue between the reader and the characters which has so annoyed me in the past. I did feel that some of the sex scenes could have done with a little less information but perhaps I'm just a prude!
Overall, a very good read with a more unusual storyline to the other chicklits around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, 26 Feb 2005
This review is from: Love Rules (Paperback)
I have almost read all of Freya North books and so far this is simply the best so far, it's so much different compared to her last books.

You could almost relate to either one of the characters with the likes of Alice, Thea, Saul,and Mark. It's totally orginal and very out of the ordinary. But i love it and would read it again.

From the cover etc, you think Love Rules will be just a light-hearted romp featuring two best friends but though it is entertaining, it is deeper too. Read more
