Love rules - Freya North

An intelligent, fun and feelgood novel about best friends, about settling down and about throwing it all away.

When you fall in love do you follow your heart or use your head?

Thea Luckmore believes in love -the magic spark of true, old-fashioned, romantic love. She's determined only ever to fall head over heels, or rather, heart over head.

Alice Heggarty, her best friend, is always falling in lust -with dashing rogues who invariably break her heart. As yet another disastrous relationship ends, Alice makes a decision. It's time to marry and she knows just the man.

For Thea, a chance encounter on Primrose Hill ignites that elusive spark she's preoccupied with. Saul Mundy promises to be the perfect fit and Thea finds herself falling in love and loving it.

But though newly wed Alice encourages Thea to settle down and conform, she finds that she's not as keen as she thought on playing by the rules. Alice starts to break them left, right and centre. At the same time, Thea's world, in which love reigns supreme, is shaken to core.

When it comes to love, should you listen to your head, your heart, or your best friend?
