this, brother, is where you stop. this, brother, is where you see 86% and wonder what else needs to happen in the plot, or if, even, anything at all ever did happen,
other than the raunch.

I was seriously jumping for joy when I got the ALC of The Dixon Rule by Elle Kennedy. I loved her Off-Campus series as well as Book 1 (The Graham Effect) of Campus Diaries.
I really loved the relationship development between Shane Lindley and Diana Dixon. They started out as frenemies and then moved on to a fake relationship, then a fake relationship with benefits and then a real relationship. I truly enjoyed their connection. I love how they loved watching a dating reality show together (Fling or Forever) and how invested Shane was in it. It reminded me of when my husband and I were dating and watched all the reality dating TV shows.
Other things I enjoyed in this book:
* I enjoyed the group neighbor chars
* the sneak peak at former series characters
* the banter between Diana and Shane
* friends with benefits application Sane filled out (Had me laughing out loud)
* Shane and his relationship with his little sister
What to expect from this book:
* hockey romance
* hockey player and cheerleader/dancer
* forced proximity (neighbors)
* steamy/spicy scenes
While it is a fun, steamy, hilarious book, please know that it also deals with some heavy topics and some scenes may be difficult or triggering for some. They are executed and done well, but please check on the content if you have triggers.
This book had me laughing, blushing and crying while listening. The narrators Corbin King and Erin Mallon did a fabulous job of bringing to life these characters. Narration is 5/5. I already loved Erin Mallon but Corbin King was new to me, and I hope to listen to more books narrated by him!
Elle Kennedy knows how to write great characters that I can connect with, that make me laugh, but also show a vulnerability that makes me relate to them in some way. I highly recommend this book and the audio! I am so invested in this series and can't wait for book 3 (The Charlie Method)!
Thank you Elle Kennedy, NetGalley and Dreamscape Select for an ALC of this book. I am honored to be able to review it. I voluntarily read it and gave an honest review.

Kennedy needs to find a different way for her male characters to refer to women than “chicks.” This mars a well paced book otherwise.

This was nice. It felt more grown up than the previous books but in a way that kinda makes me miss the silliness. I don’t even have anything funny to say
