About this listen

Forced into an unexpected marriage, Ian and Amie defy Society’s rules to ensure their independence but instead find themselves surrendering their hearts.

London, England, 1823

Ian has vowed never to marry, steadfast in his resolve to shield himself from the heartache his father’s infidelity brought upon his mother. Instead, he dedicates his heart and soul to reforming criminal law with his Rebel group. A chance encounter in a country graveyard with the infuriatingly bold Miss Amie Tyler only solidifies his resolve to remain single. That is, until his life descends into chaos when rumors of his engagement—an engagement he had no part in or prior knowledge of—force him and the vexing Miss Tyler into a calculated marriage, a mutual scheme to protect Miss Tyler from her lecherous cousin and to save Ian from a political marriage he dreads.

Amie never imagined her unsophisticated life would lead to an entanglement with Lord Ian Reynolds. Living on her relatives’ charity, she is resigned to remaining a wallflower. But when her mother concocts a wild lie of her engagement to Lord Reynolds, she chooses to trust a gentleman she hardly knows with her future. Amie is thrust into a whirlwind marriage and is overwhelmed to find herself falling for Ian despite their agreement to maintain their own separate lives and goals.

As they navigate their charade, Ian’s political ambitions clash with his growing affection for Amie, and Amie’s courageous attempt to help Ian’s family heal threatens to unravel their bond. However, a forbidden kiss and unexpected acts of kindness kindle the spark between them that neither can ignore. In a desperate race against societal expectations, the two must decide whether a future together is worth breaking their earlier vows of independence.

Oh my gosh, I loved this book! I have enjoyed the entire Matchmaking Mamas series by Anneka Walker and have highly anticipated Ian's book, especially as he is the unofficial leader of the Rebels. His story did not disappoint and could not have been more perfect for his character. It was seriously SO good! The audiobook version was delightful too. I loved both narrators and felt like they each captured Ian and Amie so well. I really loved James Joseph in particular, his voice was swoony to listen to as Ian. Mary Jane Wells had a great accent and I liked the two of them together.

Determined to never marry, Ian finds himself choosing to enter into an unexpected marriage of convenience in order to avoid a different arranged marriage of his father's choice. I absolutely LOVE Amie who could not have been a better match for Ian. Their meet cute will go down as one of the most memorable I have ever read. I’m still grinning thinking about it. The rules Ian establishes made me grin and laugh too. As everyone knows, rules in a fake relationship are meant to be broken and every time Ian or Amie broke theirs, I smiled so much my cheeks hurt.  There were so many fantastic moments in this book that just made me happy. I loved the chemistry between Ian and Amie and the humor- Anneka Walker is killing it with banter in her books lately and I am HERE FOR IT. The romance was cute and swoony and mmm, just so good. I loved the character growth and depth in the different relationships too. Everything about this book was ten stars for me.

If you like Regency romance, dual POV, marriage of convenience, fake dating, and happily ever after's, make sure The Rules of Matrimony is on your reading list. I completely and fully recommend it! This is a clean/sweet romance.

One of my favorite reads of the year. A must for marriage of convenience fans and Regency romance.
