A Regency chicklit by Janet Mullany
Avon A, print and e-book, August 2007
Long before designer shoes, apple martinis and speed-dating, Miss Philomena Wellesley-Clegg tackles the challenge of finding the perfect accessory and the perfect husband ... and finds some rules are made to be broken.
Mullany is clearly the witty, secret love child of Jane Austen and Lord Byron. How she managed time travel is my only question.

Janet Mullany’s lively heroine has to decide between the eligible gentlemen favored by her parents, and the wayward but well-born rake who has stolen her heart. Philomena’s desire to rescue less fortunate women from vice takes her into parts of London where it is not normally wise to go, and you will find it very difficult to put this book down until the heroine is safely back in the arms of her chosen suitor.

Great reviews for The Rules of Gentility. Read on....... the alternating journal entries and the present tense narration give it a kind of hip, updated feel that miraculously, does not conflict with the historical setting. Instead, it lends the book immediacy and gives it verve.
Janine, Dear Author (recommended read for August)Deftly written in the first person, Mullany's book - with her fahionable and virtous characters and a bit of emotional intensity and sensuality - takes the reader on a funny romp in this delightful Regency farce.
Romantic Times Book Reviews 4 stars
The saga of an Austen-era bachelorette puts the lie to Regency delicacy in this fun romantic spoof ... Mullany's saucy narrator and bubbly tone ... should entice romance readers who'd otherwise sidestep the flurry of petticoats.
Publishers WeeklyLaugh-out-loud funny in spots, this wonderful romance kept me giggling and sighing, all at once! ... The style of writing is clean and clear, and every scene is so well written that it jumps off the pages.
Kay James, Romance Reader at Heart (top pick)For a rollicking good time in Regency London, step into the pages of The Rules of Gentility by Janet Mullany. You are not likely to meet a more likable character than outspoken Miss Philomena Wellesley-Clegg.
Lettitia, Historical Romance WritersThis book is a great romp - a pleasure to read - articulate, thoughtful, fun and charming.
Amy Lignor, Once Upon A RomanceA most enjoyable and laugh-out-loud fun romp featuring memorable characters that don't follow typical conventions, with it packing a pretty solid emotional punch towards the end.
Mrs. GigglesThe Rules of Gentility is absolutely delightful. Billed as a Regency Historical, this book is sure to reach a much-wider reading audience with its chick-lit tone and contemporary style. It’s funny, it’s sassy, and it’s intelligently written.
Brooke Wills, Romance JunkiesDaring, unique, witty, and well written.
