another solid delivery by elle kennedy! diana and shane had great chemistry and i loved the banter between them. the concept involving the HOA and their little neighbourhood was really fun and unique. i marked down b/c wow am really beginning to see the over exaggeration of height differences and 🍆 length and um… lol……. also— while there was no third act break up there definitely was a third act something and it felt like it just came outta no where and kinda hit you like a truck. though i can kind of understand the reasoning behind why it was included, it at least felt unnecessary. i’m still forever rooting for a beckett and will book they have had an amazing dynamic since the graham effect and i’m dying to read more of them

Thank you Netgalley, Little Brown Group UK and Elle Kennedy for the eARC of The Dixon Rule - I loved it!
I was so excited for this book and the second in the Campus Diaries did not disappoint! After seeing glimpses of Shane and Diana in The Graham Effect, it was great to get to know them better and see them fall for each other. The Dixon Rule is a great neighbours dislike-to-lust-to-love romance with forced proximity and fake dating.
Being a big fan of Elle Kennedy, this series and her Off-Campus series, The Dixon Rule gave me all the spicy, fun and emotions I've come to expect from her - although it was definitely the spiciest in the series, to date!!! I can't wait to see what she does next with Beckett's book!
Diana was such a strong and sassy character and I loved seeing her interactions with Shane. She went through some tricky situations which gave me a lot of feels - I definitely got emotional in this book! I also love that Shane is a mixed-race MMC as I feel like we've not had much of that in Elle Kennedy's books so far.
This story in particular gave me strong The Score vibes (book 3 in Off-Campus and my joint favourite in the series) although it was still unique in its take for their romance. But, if you loved Dean's romance in Off-Campus, I highly recommend this one too!
I will always recommend Elle Kennedy's books and this is so no different - read for a great hockey romance with spice, fake dating and friends with benefits!
