Loved it! I was so happy that these two ended up together. 

From the first couple of chapters, I could feel the tension between the MCs, but also understood their trepidation of crossing the line. I loved how they thought about how it would affect Griff’s ex, because she was still their friend and business partner. I was so glad she supported them all the way. 

I loved their banter and when the chemistry hit its peak, it was fire! I loved that even when their intimate relationship started, they still kept the friendship, treating each other exactly the same. 

I loved the family feel in this book. Heath with his mom, Griff with his son, and the DMC. It all made the book feel more wholesome. 

Oh, Lordy, Lordy, Looooordy! Griff and Heath are absolute #BestieCoupleGoals. The friends-to-lovers trope is one of my favorites in the romance genre, and this author knew how to add her own creative spin to things in order to make Griff and Heath's story one that was both entertaining and endearing. This had a bit of a slow burn feel to it, which I think made it work even better because there isn't that whiplash feeling of them going from best friends to hooking up after just a chapter or two. I love the dynamic they shared and how there wasn't even a doubt in their minds that they had each other's backs. Now admittedly, there may have been some hesitation in their hearts when it came to crossing that line between platonic and passionate and romantic, but I think that's to be expected, and pretending otherwise would have probably given me pause, and not in a good way. There was so much to love and adore about Griff and Heath and the other guys in the Divorced Men's Club. Oh, and let's not forget Felix, but then Saxon James has what sounds like delicious plans for him. As for Platonic Rulebook, well, that easily gets five stars, and I cannot wait for the other DMC stories!
