Best friends turned enemies to lovers , a bit fast paced but i think maybe cause its a series so most backstories are in the others. i love an accidental baby. i loved how there wasn't any miscommunication and they were clear with their feelings.

Rule Breakers Fall Hardest is the 6th book in The Boys series. I have only read the first book, but I didn't feel like I was missing anything and this could be read as a standalone. This is a childhood friends to enemies to lovers with a marriage of convenience.
Rosie had a huge crush on Daire when they were in high school, but he was completely clueless. They were best friends, but they had a falling out their senior year and now the hate each other. Daire just realized the college teacher he slept with had his baby and he is determined to get shared custody of his son. He asks Rosie to become his fake wife so he will have a better chance of getting custody. He thinks it will be a more believable story since they have a lot of history.
Daire's character irritated me at first, but he really grew on me as I realized how devoted he is to being a part of his son's life. I loved Rosie's character and how much she did to support Daire and his son. I also loved her close relationship with her friend Bertie.
I did think it took way too long to have a conversation and clear up the miscommunication from their falling out. I mean it was ridiculous, considering they were living together and around each other all the time. I was internally screaming....."Have a conversation already!!!" I also thought the miscommunication and reason for the hatred was pretty weak and not big enough for them to hate each other that much.
I did love seeing the day to day and how sweet Daire and Rosie were with his son Sammy.

I love the enemies to lovers and fake marriage trope and this book was goooood! I liked that it is not a typical college book, but that the main characters behaved maturely. I also liked that they are rich but don't throw money around excessively. The pace and spice were good! It was a very enjoyable book to read.
This was the first book I read in this serie and it made so curious for the other stories. Will definitely read them all!
Merged review:
Once upon a time, Daire Hendricks was my childhood crush. He was always there, saving me from his annoying brothers. He was my rock, my safe place from my overbearing family. Until he wasn't. Imagine my annoyance when we end up at the same university and I have to see his smug, too-handsome-for-his-own-good face all over campus. Every time we cross paths, we spew hateful words at each other, so imagine my surprise when he seeks me out and utters the most surprising question. "Marry me?" He needs my help, and his solution is marriage. It's a pretty big ask, but somehow, I find myself saying yes. We might hate each other now, but the benefits of this arrangement are worth it. But what neither of us expects, is when playing house starts to feel a little too real. Falling for each other was never part of the plan, but you know what they say about the best laid plans? They often go awry.

Hard to rate this book. On one hand it was a cute relationship between the main characters and the baby and how they grew up over a very short period of time. On the other hand it was really really long for the time span that it covered and at times felt like it was dragging.
The relationships with their families are probably the most dysfunctional I’ve read. None of them prioritized their family and mending fences and the fmc parents were toxic. The mother being obsessed with the fmc weight was a big topic in the beginning but then just disappeared without another mention. Also, it’s pretty unbelievable that the baby’s mother’s parents didn’t try to have any contact with their grandson in months after the accident. Just abysmal parenting all around.
Overall I enjoyed the book, just didn’t enjoy certain characters in it.
