Portsmouth - 1805

Jonathan Eaton, the Earl of Sykeston, is heading to see Constance Lysander, age 15. She is intelligent, kind, and lost her parents to influenza. She now lives with her aunt Venetia Hopkins. Jonathan and Constance have been friends for a long time and she always thought they would marry one day. But he has come to tell her that he has been asked to join the British army on special assignment as he is fluent in several languages and a top marksman. He tells her to not wait for him and gives her a list of things to look for in a man to marry.

London - 1815

Jonathan’s leg was severely injured in the war and he now uses a cane. He is on his way to call on Constance. She had married Lord Meriwether Vaneck only to find that he had married two other women, spending all of their dowries, and then he died in an accident. She is pregnant and wants Jonathan to marry her to make the baby legitimate. When he arrives, he learns that she has just given birth to a girl she named Aurelia Jane and he finds that she was the real wife of Lord Vaneck so the baby is not illegitimate. However, she still wants to marry him. They do and then he leaves for his home in Portsmouth and she doesn’t see him for a year.

He feels that there are some in the army who stole his plans and cannot get them back. In addition, he fears that living with Constance will have her pity him and he certainly doesn’t want that.

When Constance finally arrives in Portsmouth, Jonathan is shocked and not ready for her to take over the household.

I liked Constance and found her to be a strong, loving, and busy working mother. Jonathan, on the other hand, has buried himself in self-pity and while he is in pain, he needs a swift kick to join life again. The butler is adorable and I loved Regina eating at the table.

Copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I just loved the characters of Constance and Jonathan, Earl of Sykeston. Constance as such a warm, caring person who was determined to help Jonathan in any way she could. Jonathan has quite a lot to come to terms with and is in a dark place. I loved the way they reconnected but not everything runs smoothly. The interaction between Jonathan and his butler, North was a joy to read. There is a villain to contend with but it was good to see Jonathan regain his own self belief. I enjoyed the way the friends were there for each other and I’m looking forward to reading Beth’s story. I received a copy and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I enjoyed the first book, “A Duke in Time” and was so eager to read Constance’s story. A tortured, injured, and reclusive hero is my catnip. So when I first met Jonathan and Constance, and got an inkling of their repressed love for each other, I was super excited to read this book. However, in the end, while this is a decent read, I feel that it could have been better.

For most of the book, Jonathan stays cranky, hopeless, and brooding. While I understood his fears, anger at society, and his insecurities, it just stretched too long. I was looking forward to reading an emotional, angsty, and redeeming story of a tortured hero but was sadly left bored.

So much of Jonathan’s healing happens off the page, and I would have loved to see him get back in form on page. There is so much emotional, and romantic development that could have happened but unfortunately it didn’t. Even the romance failed to connect with me.

However, I loved Constance and Jonathan’s past, and the flashback scenes plus the end scenes are my favourites in this book.

Constance is a strong woman and I liked her for the most part. However, her hypocrisy in wanting her husband to share everything with her while she didn’t want to burden him with her problems had me shaking my head in disappointment. Baby Aurelia is so cute and I loved her interactions, and Constance’s motherly affection. But Constance’s superwoman portrayal where she has time to play with the baby, manage her business, keep the house clean with weeding, dusting, and all, and then have the strength to indulge in sex was just not believable.

Then I also don’t understand why she married Meri when she had been in love with Jonathan all her life. Since she had her own business, didn’t need money, and had seemed determined to never let any other man in, her marriage to Merriweather whom she didn’t love is so confusing.

Her friends while good people just made the situation worse every time. And had me feeling disinterested with the long, meandering inner monologues of Jonathan, a relation that ran in circles with no development, and an enemy who could have been dealt with easily had the protagonists shared things with each other.

Another character that I loved is North. A true romantic, loyal, and devoted to Jonathan, his matchmaking tactics had me smiling and chuckling so often.

It was so fun meeting Katherine and Christian from “A Duke in Time” again. And I am now so intrigued to read Julian and Beth’s story. Also the mystery of the missing dowries, and the investigation has me captivated. Much is developed in this book in this regard, and I am eager to get the closure in the next book.

All in all, Rules for Engaging the Earl by Janna MacGregor is an okay read that had the potential to be better. While I enjoyed reading it and will definitely read the next book in this series, this isn’t the angsty emotionally electric story that I was hoping to read. 3 out of 5 stars to it and Njkinny recommends this historical romance to all romance lovers above the age of eighteen.

One big heartbreak! Best friends as teens, Constance and Jonathan are separated when he takes a special assignment stationed with the British Army, maybe never to return to England. Ten years later Napoleon's war is over. Constance needs protection for herself and her baby daughter. She maybe the legal widow of the late Lord Meriweather Vareck, but she needs and wants to marry Jonathan Eaton, the Earl of Sykeston. A broken man, Jonathan was shot twice in his right leg by French sharpshooters. His lameness and pain are just part of his life in darkness. He wants to be left alone. Constance interrupting his life, gives him the chance for something he wants, but does not think he deserves. When Jonathan finds out he and Constance have a common enemy, it gives him the opportunity to settle old scores and reset his life. Best friends to lovers, Constance and Jonathan form an unbreakable bond. Includes a cute baby and a clever dog.
Heat level 4 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Rules for enjoying the Earl.

Let me count the ways I adored this book. Such a well written, well crafted and plotted story.
Constance and Jonathan were childhood sweethearts, but a decision Jonathan made for himself meant years apart and very difficult paths for these two. Jonathan bears the scars and damages of war on his person and his emotions. He's grumpy but would do anything for Constance, even marry her when she just has given birth to Merry's daughter.. Constance is ever the optimist (yep, the opposite of Jonathan). She's a brand new mother, business owner and just married Jonathan.

Rules for Engaging the Earl is a long, slow burn for these two slightly damaged best friends who were always meant to be together. But, well, circumstances conspire to keep them apart. All the feels, drama, angst and humor (yes, humor) on this journey for Constance and Jonathan.
Highly recommend.

I was happy when I was approved for an arc of this book, it just sounded interesting and up my alley -- 2nd chance, marriage of convenience, bit of beauty & beast, scandal, etc. And while I did enjoy it, I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped. I also know that was due in part to me (reading time has been scarce, harder to get lost in a story when reading in bits & spurts). The story was well written, I didn't have any issues due to not having read book 1, the characters were well developed, had some nice banter and issues that both Constance and Jonathon had faced in the past (and understandably left their mark on their psyche) were reflected and addressed rather than brushed aside. You could feel and understand both of their fears and desires regarding their relationship. Occasionally the pace or time table felt a little off. While there were a number of positives and did travel along several of my happy-place allies, it also had some detours down a couple that, for me, tend to be not-happy lanes. Jonathon seemed to wallow in his misery as if up for martyrdom a little too much for me (I just wanted to shake him on occasion) and both had issue with true communication despite it being one of their "rules" for their marriage. both expected the other to be fully open and honest but thought nothing of keeping secrets themselves. The ongoing misunderstanding that could easily be resolved with a few words and hypocrisy are both reading pet-peeves for me and therefore took away from the story. For me, some mixed feelings on the story, though overall thought it was well done and came to a happy satisfying end.

This second book in The Widow Rules series is a delightful friends-to-lovers romance.

Constance Lysander, one of the widows of Lord Meriwether Vareck, needs a husband. However, by the time the man she asked for help turns up, circumstances have changed somewhat and he is no longer needed. Yet, they still exchange vows and marry before the new groom leaves her for a secret assignment.

Jonathan, Earl of Sykeston feels obligated to help the only woman he has ever loved, although, deep down he feels their relationship won't work. When he sees Constance, she’s more beautiful than he remembers. Only, he knows there is no future for them together. So, despite his reservations, he marries her before making an excuse to leave her. However, his bride is a determined woman and sees things from a very different perspective!

I enjoyed the first novel in this series, so jumped at the chance to read more, not only from Ms. MacGregor, but to find out what happened to the other widows. I liked that we get an update on the other two Vareck wives and how friendship has blossomed between these women. Additionally, other secondary characters add humour as they entertain us with their antics... cue Noble!
The relationship between the protagonists wasn’t as predictable as these former best friends struggled to find a way that suits them both. Luckily, there are those close to them who see things differently and the result is a well-deserved happy ending.

Unlike me, if you’ve not read the first instalment, there is an opportunity to understand the heroine's past. Of course, book one; Where There's a Will comes highly recommended. So, if you are looking for a well-written novel with an entertaining narrative, you won't go far wrong with this one.

Rules For Engaging the Earl is book 2 in the Widow Rules series by Janna MacGregor (a prolific writer of historical fiction). This is the story of Constance and Jonathan, childhood friends and sweethearts separated while Jonathan goes off to fight in the Napoleonic wars. Upon his return he finds that Constance has married a bigamist and is now widowed and in need of a husband to legitimize her unborn child. Overall I found this book to be well written, entertaining and a quick read. I had not read book 1 in the series but had no trouble following the interplay of the various characters. I wanted to love this book but in the end only liked it. I liked Constance a lot, she was a smart business owner determined to make her marriage to Jonathan work. However I found the character of Jonathan rather blah, and didn’t feel the strong chemistry between them that a really good romance novel needs. I am going to go back and read the first book in the series, maybe it was just the story line of this one that I did not find compelling.

This was an entertaining, well-written historical romance. It was steamy, held my interest and I didn't want to put it down. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books by this author.

This is the second book in the series and one that I was looking forward to read. I enjoyed the previous one and wanted to see where the author will take this trio next.

Constance is probably my favourite of them all. And her story can be seen as friends to lovers more, even if it starts as a fake marriage.

The interaction between Constance, Kat, and Blythe is very unusual. But I loved how the author brings them together, even if they all have been tricked and married to the same man. Their friendship and support in thriving is beautifully developed.

In comes Jonathan, a childhood friend of Constance, a war veteran but ready to help her out, and himself, I might add.

What starts as a simple fake marriage develops into a beautiful romance story where they finally let out all those feelings they felt years ago.

I enjoyed the build up tension between them, the chemistry and all their interactions and the suspenseful moments where her life and company were in danger.

I'm looking forward to read Blythe’s story because she's definitely a character that I want to know more about now.

🆓📖Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy through NetGalley

Rules for Engaging the Earl is the second book in Janna MacGregor's enchanting The Widow Rules series. Ms. MacGregor is now one of my favorite historical romance authors. Her books are always witty, extremely steamy and just about impossible to put down! This one is no exception. It's good I started this on a Saturday, otherwise I would have had to restrain myself from taking off from work to finish it!

Constance Lysander is about to give birth, and her husband is deceased. Unfortunately, her husband was a trigamist with two other wives Constance knew nothing about. However, she is now as close to them as sisters and can rely on them for help, along with her beloved aunt. But Constance wants a husband to help her protect her unborn child. With a shipping business to run and the baby on the way, though, she really doesn't have time to look. What's a woman to do? Why, send a letter to her childhood best friend requesting his presence at a marriage ceremony - THEIR wedding ceremony! Jonathan Eaton, Earl of Sykeston, hasn't seen Constance since he left to serve the Crown about 10 years previously. After suffering a horrendous injury, plus having the threat of a court martial for something he hadn't done hanging over his head, Jonathan has basically become a recluse. He lives in solitude except for the company of his mastiff Regina and some staff. Jonathan can't say no to Constance, as she's always remained in his heart. Can two emotionally battered people find the love they deserve?

Friends to lovers, marriage of convenience and beauty and the beast are three of the most popular romance tropes these days. Here we have all three, yet it isn't overkill; it all weaves together seamlessly. I thoroughly enjoyed both leads, but I must admit I have a special place in my heart for tortured heroes. When Constance and Jonathan were last together, he was an idealistic young man off to fight for the Crown. Though he and Constance were the best of friends, he felt the call to leave her and fight, Ten years later he is a physically - and emotionally - broken man. He is humiliated when his injury causes him to fall in front of others. He also feels betrayed with a possible court martial hanging above his head. Most of Jonathan's time was spent with just his dog and a few meddling staff members. He keeps his shooting skills sharp by sitting in a chair in his study - with Reginia - and shooting targets through the doorway; the room is filthy and reeks of gunpowder. His friends try to engage with him, but he just wants to be left alone while he figures out a way to prove himself not guilty of desertion. He keeps a multitude of secrets from his new bride. Constance, on the other hand, is a sweet and caring woman. She was greatly hurt by finding out her husband had two other wives, but she seemed to be handling it well; underneath, though, she felt deserted and hurt. Jonathan was very curt with her and became furious when she tried to clean his home and lighten up his reclusive life. Constance also had a secret she held from Jonathan, but it dealt with her shipping business and she didn't want to bother him with it. He wanted a marriage of convenience, but she wanted a true marriage; however, he couldn't fight her charms and had to give into his heart. At Jonathan didn't have much at all to do with new baby Aurelia, but she, like her mother, soon charmed him. This story had humor (Regina sits at the table to dine with her people), snark (Jonathan's responses to his staff's machinations) and lots and lots of steam. The love scenes were extremely hot, but there was much love and affection there. I loved many of the supporting characters, but it was butler North who I absolutely adored. He was the butler for Jonathan's family for as long as he could remember; North obviously loved his grouchy employer and did everything he could in an underhanded way to bring Constance and Jonathan together. The only thing I wasn't totally crazy about was how sickeningly sweet Jonathan was in the epilogue. I know he always loved Constance and I was thrilled they became a perfect family, but come on...wouldn't he have still had some crankiness as a holdover from his past? Yet still I just adored this story and cannot wait to see how Beth and Grayson can possibly have their much-deserved happily every after.

I received an ARC of this book courtesy of the publisher and NetGalley. I received no compensation for my review, and all thoughts and opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Rules for Engaging the Earl is the first book I have read by Janna MacGregor, but surely not the last. As far as introductions to new-to-me authors go, there are very few I can recall loving as much as this one.

First of all, let’s talk about the fact that this historical grumpy/sunshine romance comes complete with a very good dog and a sweet little baby. Regina and Aurelia—scene-stealers, both of them. There’s something about a man who is good with animals and babies, even if he is decidedly not good with his fellow humans, that steals my heart.

And steal my heart the scarred, broken, reclusive Earl of Sykeston did. Jonathon is struggling in the aftermath of a war that left his leg a mess and his sense of self in shambles. His suffering is nearly painful to watch as he makes mistake after mistake in pushing away those who would love and care for him. Yet, I couldn’t help but understand his torment, his need to be alone. Did it make it any easier to see him reject all the good coming his way in favor of going it alone? Nope. But it made sense. War is all hell, after all.

Constance is precisely that—constant. She is kindness and strength and the epitome of sunshine when it comes to making the best of her situation. She sees the good in her husband and wants to rekindle the relationship, the love they had as children. She fought on when many would’ve given up and still knew when to lay down her battle flag. Also, she is not shy about her wants, needs, and pleasures. Yes, girl, YES.

While clearly not the first in a series—something I did not realize going in—this is easily read as a standalone, and I couldn’t help but be left intrigued by what else the Widow Rules series has to offer. I need to go back to see Kat and Christian’s story come to life, and I already anticipate Beth and Grayson’s.

What a beautiful, second-chance romance in the regency era!

Constance is close to delivering the baby. After losing her husband, things won't be easy, especially when you learn more about the dastardly man!

Enter Jonathan. Constance's friend. A friend she had secretly desired. Perhaps, the feelings had been reciprocated.

I do love a strong heroine in this era of stories!

Very, very enjoyable!

The prologue provided an intriguing start, but the rest didn’t quite live up to its promise.

We met Constance in the first book in the Widow Rules series, A Duke in Time. Turns out she is the legitimate wife of the polygamist Meriwether, who married three women in quick succession and absconded with their dowries. This is good news for her unborn child, but Constance still needs a husband to quiet the gossips and to provide for her and her baby. Her childhood friend, Jonathan, immediately says yes when she made her request.

Jonathan returned home from the war a broken man and felt very undeserving of anything, really, but especially Constance. He kept pushing her away. Meanwhile Constance quietly, but determinately, chipped away at Jonathan’s walls and gave his home new life.

Unfortunately, Jonathan’s sulkiness just went on and on. He resorted to some pretty childish acts to drive away the people who want to help him. Any sympathy I had for him in the beginning didn’t quite last. But there were some lovely moments with Aurelia and Constance, so it wasn’t all bad behaviour all the time. Constance was a strong woman, running a business (with help), and raising her daughter. But with her it felt like she just missed the mark. She was always pleasant no matter what Jonathan threw at her, and I wanted her to be a bit more assertive.

The friendship between the three widows is still going strong and I love that they were there for each other. And Jonathan’s butler, North, was by far the most enjoyable character of them all.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

First of all, I love this cover. The red is so striking. Secondly, I'm a sucker for a friends-to-lover story...and this one certainly didn't disappoint. It kept me thoroughly entertained. I loved Jonathan and Constance and thought they were a wonderful match. Reading as they made life-changing decisions, struggled with different issues, and finally grew to care deeply for one another had my emotions on overload as I silently cheered them on.
I definitely recommend this lovely and emotional (at least for me) historical mystery.

Many thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor or expectation.

In the first book of the Widow Rules series we are introduced to three widowed women whom have fond out that they were all married to the same man! A sisterly bond is formed between them as they try to sort out the mess and move forward with their lives…

One of the widows, Constance is pregnant by her bigamist husband and needs to find a new husband in order to legitimize her soon to be born baby. She calls in a favour with her childhood friend and lost love, Jonathan who has recently retuned home from military service due to injuries received in battle.

Jonathan agrees to marry Constance, but he’s not the man she once knew… in order to make this marriage work he proposes they set some rules and Constance ends up having a few of her own!

This was a delicious second chance romance wrapped up in a Beauty and the Beast retelling! Jonathan’s scarred hero character was a perfect beast to Constances’s trapped heroine, making the best out of a bad situation and turning the beast and his hovel into a husband and a home!

Constance was strong and independent character, but also she was always willing to work for what she wanted, an actual family with her husband. I loved seeing her come in and transform the home and Jonathan with her positivity and can-do attitude.

Jonathan’s inner turmoil, feelings of inadequacy and trauma were brilliantly portrayed and made me really empathize with his struggle, while I rooted for him to overcome and be the husband and father Constance and the baby needed and deserved.

Together Jonathan and Constance had electric chemistry. And their scenes together were always fun to read as they interacted. When the sparks finally light up the bedroom it was steamy and delightful to read the considerations made by the characters to accommodate Jonathan’s injuries.

Lastly, as a reader of Janna’s work, I especially appreciated and loved the dinner scenes included in this story, which are a trademark of her writing. There were two in this book and the opposite natures of them made them both great to read for very different reasons as they moved the characters relationship along.

This is the second book in a series, but I feel it can easily be read as a standalone. I loved reading Jonathan and Constance’s grumpy/ sunshine, scarred hero, marriage of convening story. It had everything I could have wanted and I can’t recommend it enough!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin’s through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) provided by the Author and Publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I have no idea why I agreed to read this book after the first one in the series was not that good. Maybe I was curious as to how these three women were going to fair with the scandal they found themselves in after they each married the same man and he dies leaving them, well, not in the best of situations. Even though I thoroughly enjoyed the plot of this series and the plot of the first two books, the writing leaves a whole lot to be desired. 50 to 100 pages could have easily been cut from the narrative, but I'm not sure it would have made much difference.

Constance Lysander was the more fortunate of the three widows. She was actually really married to the louse, Merri. And that turned out to be a good thing because he left her not only high and dry, but pregnant, to boot. Still she feels she needs a husband and has prevailed upon a longtime child friend to become her new husband. Running her family shipping business is all she has to cling to and there are problems she has to face there.

Jonathan, Earl of Sykeston has returned from the war lucky to be alive, but with a serious disability. He has shut himself off from society and has what I'm sure is depression. He also has some nasty business hanging over his head from his war experience. Business he is more than willing to hid from.

Constance and Jonathan find out real soon, will not really, Jonathan takes off for the country an hour after the London wedding, telling Constance to stay put. A year later, they are both in residence at Sykeston Gardens in Portsmouth, but not because Jonathan really wants her there. Anyway, they both find out that you can't always have what you want. Jonathan can't hid from the world forever when he has a wife and child to consider and Constance can't have the husband and family she wants. Well, not without a lot of effort on both their parts.

I loved this story!! This is the second book I read from this author and I have to say her writing is really good.
Constance Lysander needs a husband. She’s about to give birth to her late husband’s child—a man who left her with zero money, and two other wives she didn’t know about. Jonathan, Earl of Sykeston, is a returned war hero and Constance’s childhood best friend. Maligned for an injury he received in the line of duty, Jonathan prefers to stay out of sight. But when a missive from Constance requests his presence—to their marriage ceremony—Jonathan is on board. His feelings for Constance run deep, and he’ll do anything to make her happy, though it means risking his already bruised heart.
With Constance, Jonathan, and the new baby all together, it’s clear the wounds—both on the surface and in their relationship—run deep. But when the nights come, their wounds begin to heal, and both come to realize that their marriage of convenience is so much more than just a bargain.
This story is full of aghast and emotional moments. I enjoyed it a lot. Constance is amazingly strong and resilient. I adored Aurelia, her daughter. Jonathan has been hurt and maligned by a superior officer. He is broken inside. He feels underserving of happiness and try to protected Constance from him and his life full of darkness. But she is not going to accept that without a fight. And that’s what makes her so special.
There are great sexy times, sweet and meaningful family time with little Aurelia, meddlesome staff and great side characters from the previous book.
I´ll be waiting for Beth and Grayson story!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

“If her optimism ever met his realism, Jonathan would be hard-pressed to say which was stronger or more virulent.”
Rules for Engaging the Earl by Janna MacGregor isn’t just a marriage of convenience between characters Constance Lysander and Earl Jonathan Sykeston. It’s also a childhood friends to lovers romance, a slow burn romance with tons of spice, and a redemption story all in one. This is a romance that is filled with unspoken feelings, a lot of determination, and a heroine who honestly could rule a country and do very well for herself.

Constance is smart, determined, capable, and full of both empathy as well as kindness. She’s a wonderful mother, friend, and a devoted and trusting wife. However, due to the circumstances regarding her recently deceased husband, Constance looks to her childhood best friend and first love, Jonathan Sykeston to marry her and provide stability as well as security to herself and her newborn daughter.

“He’d never seen her more beautiful. Like a siren demanding his downfall. He would go down without a fight as long as she continued to kiss him like he was the only thing she needed.”
Jonathan Sykeston is dealing with his demons. Once a highly regarded sharpshooter and marksman in service for the Crown, he now faces his injury to his leg, a court-martial, and his reputation in ruins thanks to a nefarious fellow officer. Jonathan takes a lot to heart, and the fact that he isn’t the same physically, affects him deeply both mentally and emotionally. His character arc and transformation proves that the love and determination of his friends and family can do wonders for a person with mental illness.

While Jonathan cannot refuse anything his childhood friend and now wife requests of him, he simply cannot get over how far he has fallen from the man he once thought he was. His beastly temper makes this story into a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, but in this tale Constance is progressive and modern: a businesswoman, mother, and desperate for her husband to see the good in himself.

Even though Jonathan attempts—though feebly—to push Constance away in an attempt to remain surly and alone, it is Aurelia that eventually wins over Jonathan. Who can resist a baby? Constance is also determined to make Jonathan see and feel the strength of her love, and she does not take no for an answer! I love how forthright she is about her physical needs…if you catch my drift. The intimate scenes between Constance and Jonathan are the perfect amount of spice.

“Jonathan shot his butler a death glare. Every single person in the room knew what the old man was up to. A butler impersonating a busybody matchmaker.”
I even loved the “busybody matchmaker” of a butler. Mr. North is an incredibly lovable character and I adored his romanticism and determination. Mr. North is constantly the source of good advice, fatherly love and affection, and honestly one of the bright spots in the story. He’s a delightful character and evens out all of the drama that occurs on page for both Jonathan and Constance.

This was my first book by Janna MacGregor and I know it will be the first of many. Rules for Engaging the Earl is part of a series, however this can easily be read as a standalone. Be sure to grab your copy today as it is available now!

A sweet story of two childhood best friends finding love . I enjoyed he authors style, although this isn’t my favourite trope and. I enjoy romance books with a bit more banter more

I Would read the other books in the series
