Rules to Break by Susan Hawke

5.0

This is the second book in the Davey’s Rules series, and although it could be read as a stand-alone, I highly suggest reading the first book in order to get a better feel for all the characters.

Preston lacks for nothing money can buy; he has a mansion with servants, a private pool, and all the brand clothes and products a boy could ask for. What he doesn’t have is love and companionship – no real friends, no real family, and definitely no Daddy Dom who wants to love and cherish him. Bryan is a self-sufficient Daddy Dom who runs his life with self confidence and discipline, but the only commitment he’s comfortable making is to his business and family. Bryan has no desire for a relationship. When a bet at the Daddy’s Lap club takes a Pygmalion twist, Bryan and Preston are thrust together for three months. Three transformative and incredible months where Daddy Bryan is tasked with cleaning up Preston snobbish and bratty act. Falling in love wasn’t part of the bet, but we all know that when a perfect Daddy/boy combo comes together, it’s just fate.

I adored this book. Preston was such a complicated mixture of hurt, indignation, defensiveness, loyalty, and yearning. He’s such a strong man who just needed some help to get over his own internal obstacles. Bryan was the perfect Daddy, and although he put up a fuss about falling in love, he did end up following his heart. There was so much humor, tears, and joy in this book. I felt a range of emotions while I was reading, and throughout it all, I cheered on the growing relationship between Bryan and Preston. And also, there are some of the hottest sex scenes Susan Hawke has written. My kink button was pushed HARD during those sex scenes, and I loved it. I highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys Daddy kink and Susan Hawke books.
