'Your rebellion has not gone unnoticed…'
Anticipating her wedding vows and then breaking off the engagement has left Kate Montague's social status in tatters. She hides her hurt at her family's disapproval behind a resolutely optimistic façade, but one thing really grates… For a fallen woman, she knows shockingly little about passion!
Could Virgil Jackson be the man to teach her? A freed slave turned successful businessman, his striking good looks and lethally restrained power throw normally composed Kate into a tailspin! She's already scandalised society, but succumbing to her craving for Virgil would be the most outrageous thing Kate's done by far…

Review
"The liberated heroines and intriguing, unconventional heroes will delight modern-day readers looking for an out-of-the-box Regency. The sensitive love stories, colorful backdrop and large cast of characters only add to the enjoyment." Romantic Times review of Ladies of Disrepute duo
From the Author
Castonbury Park takes its inspiration (though absolutely nothing else) from the hit television series Downton Abbey. Each book is designed to be read as stand alone, though the characters, the house and servants are all part of one world, and linking the whole series is a mystery which gradually unfolds book by book to its resolution in the last story.
The series is:
1 - Flirting with Ruin (novella-length prequel) - Marguerite Kaye
2 - The Wicked Lord Montague - Carole Mortimer
3 - The Housemaid's Scandalous Secret - Helen Dickson
4 - The Lady Who Broke the Rules - Marguerite Kaye
5 - Lady of Shame - Ann Lethbridge
6 - The Illegitimate Montague - Sarah Mallory
7 - Unbefitting a Lady - Bronwyn Scott
8 - Redemption of a Fallen Woman - Joanna Fulford
9 - A Stranger at Castonbury - Amanda McCabe

Long review, lots to love!
By Melanie Meadors
Note: this book can stand alone, you don't have to read the first two, but you will want to!
Kate, the heroine of this tale, is not your average Regency heroine, in that, as the title states, she breaks the rules. Her reputation is, she thinks, in shambles thanks to events and people in her past, so she goes forth and does what is in her heart. This doesn't mean she doesn't care what people think about her; I think she cares a great deal, and is hurt by this, but she doesn't let it control her life to the extent that she is a complete shut-away and does whatever is asked of her in order to gain approval. She is her own person. I found Kate to be very much a multi-dimensional character, and I found her to be very refreshing.
Virgil is our hero, and he is a freed African American slave with a painful past. One of my favorite things about this book is how yes, of course this guy has baggage and pain from his past, and he has some issues he needs to move past, but the story doesn't just linger on this in order to have the reader feel sympathy. Virgil is a strong character. He has moved beyond slavery to become a powerful businessman who uses his influence and money to help others. He's a genuinely good person who doesn't whine about his past.
The love story is, once again, refreshing. We have a white English woman and an African American man, but this is not a story merely about racial difficulties. It's about overcoming obstacles in the past to find true love and happiness in the future. I found the descriptions of the characters to be sensual and "enough." I felt like I was there; there were just enough details to know what these people looked like, and enough sensations to really be there in the story, but the balance was so carefully kept; I didn't feel like someone was being described to me, like I was on the outside. Detail came out through action, as characters noticed things, which kept me fully engaged, almost like watching a movie.
I can't express how much I *love* the direction some of the Harlequin novels have been taking (and this is the second of Kaye's books I've seen this in) as far as dealing with social issues. These issues of course were relevant in the Regency times, but they are also just as important to think about today. Both the hero and heroine of this book have causes close to their hearts, and it really warmed me to see them working for them. So often I've read Regencies and other historical romances where, as a friend of mine so aptly put, there's nothing going on but "balls and duke-screwing." (I'm sorry, I had to). There is more to Kaye's characters--they aren't just thinking about having heirs and keeping their reputations intact; they are bigger people because they focus on bigger things.
I'm trying not to give anything away, because I think this book was superb. Many aspects of the book could have swiftly fallen down the tunnel of cliche with another author, but in the hands of a master, these aspects proved to strengthen the story, and make its message more powerful. This is a true love story.
PS--Love Aunt Wilhelmina. LOVE her, especially the turbans. Wonderful example of secondary character who is very endearing (and gosh, I want to know more about her) but who does not take over the story. Her actions toward the end of the story made me cry.

This book fell a little short for me.
By Marcie
The Lady Who Broke The Rules is part of the Castonbury Park series from Harlequin. All the books are written by different authors. I read a prequel of sorts many months ago. It wasn't my favorite historical fiction, but it was enjoyable. I haven't read the first two book in this series either. One of the things that I like about this series is that you don't have to start at the beginning to understand the characters. There are cross-over characters in this book, but you get enough explanation to understand the story.
The two main characters in this book are Kate Montague and Virgil Jackson. Kate has recently upset her family by breaking off her engagement. Virgil is a freed slave that now has a successful business. Kate and Virgil's paths cross, and their attraction to each other cannot be denied. I applaud Kaye for her unique spin on this romance, but I had a few problems with the story line. Most of my reservations lay with the historical accuracy in this book. I don't mean that a book has to be 100% accurate to be believable, but I can only suspend my disbelief so far. All though Kaye does mention the hardships the couple will have to face, it's not really stressed upon especially for this time period. Not only of being different social classes, but also that the characters are different races. However overlooking that aspect of the story, it's enjoyable. It's more of a novelette at 169 pages than a full-length novel. I think if the author added another 150 pages she could have built a more believable story line. As it was it's an okay read. I'm a huge fan of historical romance, but this book fell a little short for me.

A Fun and Interesting Historical
By Quinn
An enthralling tale of two lovers who overcome societal pressures to be together during the Industrial Revolution.
Kate leads a lonely existence with a passion for educating all of society, not just the elite in England.
Virgil, a freed slave and entrepreneur, struggles against his own dark past until he meets Kate who helps bring him out of it.
Settings are described in vivid detail, in particular i liked the author's sumptuous descriptions of all of Kate's wardrobe from her lace garters to her silk taffeta low cut bodices.
The chemistry between Kate Montague and Virgil Jackson is unmistakable and there are plenty of hot steamy scenes. I really enjoyed their rendezvous on the island at Castonbury Park, wet, skin on skin.
If you like racy romance historicals, read this one!
