The Bad Boy Rule
by Maren Moore
Thank you to Valentine PR & Maren Moore for sending me an advanced copy of The Bad Boy Rule.
I am a HUGE Maren Moore fangirl and was absolutely obsessed with the Orleans University series, so I’ve been anxiously waiting for this book and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The Hellcat Hockey series kicks off with The Bad Boy Rule, and we’re thrown right back into the world of OU, this time with the school’s hockey team and the fiery pairing of Saint and Lennon.
Saint is your classic bad boy… but with a twist. He’s from the wrong side of the tracks, but he doesn’t drink, doesn’t party, and is laser focused on working hard in both school and life. He’s the one holding his family together and is determined not to end up like his abusive, alcoholic father. Then there’s Lennon, our rich girl with hidden side. Her parents care more about appearances than her actual dreams, and as their only child, she’s feeling major pressure to be the perfect daughter… even if it means hiding her true self.
When Lennon and Saint meet, it’s all sparks and fire. They cannot stand each other… at first. But then Saint finds out who Lennon’s dad is, the very man he blames for how his life turned out, and decides to get revenge by making Lennon fall for him. What he doesn’t expect? Lennon wants her dad to think they’re dating too. So begins the fake dating, the delicious tension, and all the swoony moments as they slowly realize they aren’t who they thought the other was… they might actually be perfect for each other. But can they make it work, or are they just too different?
You guys… I LOVED this. I think this might be Maren’s most intense book yet, but it still has that fun, college sports romance feel I adore. The angst?? Chef’s kiss. The chemistry?? Off the charts. And Lennon’s “rules” with Saint?? Let’s just say they don’t last very long.
If you’re in the mood for a sports romance with heat, heart, and the perfect balance between light and dark, The Bad Boy Rule is it. I’m already obsessed with this series and can’t wait for more Hellcat boys!
