Author: Niqui Stanhope ISBN:0312986238 10/2003 CONTEMPORARY Publisher: ST. MARTIN'S PRESS

When Marcel Templeton's boyfriend of 11 months dumps her over the phone and on her 30th birthday, too, it's the final straw in a hayload of bad romantic choices. She's tired of ending up with too-smooth, too-handsome, but downright smarmy players. Marcel needs some ground rules to keep her from making more mistakes, and good-looking men are at the top of the "avoid at all costs" list. Then media conglomerate owner and handsome hunk Ian Michaels crashes into her life, and try as she might, she knows that the rules are going to have to change...(Library Journal).

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Marcel's boyfriend wakes her up on the morning of her 30th birthday, only to dump her. She decides then and there that she's not going to date "players" again. That is, until she meets Ian Michaels...

CHANGING THE RULES is a fun, light-hearted read that kept me entertained from page one. I smiled and laughed all through the story, especially during the conversations between Marcel and her best friend, Tracy. I couldn't wait for Marcel and Ian to finally get together, and, boy, when they did get together, the pages were steaming! I recommend CHANGING THE RULES to fans of romantic comedies.
