Based on my reading habits, I shouldn't be as in love with Sarah Adam's books as I am. But alas, every time... she just sucks me in and leaves me smiling.
📕 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The Rule Book by Sarah Adams
📙 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: Standalone-ish.
📗 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: E-book on Kindle. Borrowed from Libby.
📘 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲: Contemporary romance
📔 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀: Sports romance (football), grumpy/sunshine, second chance, fake marriage, all the feels, dyslexia representation.
📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Derek and Nora dated in college, before abruptly breaking it off. Years later, Derek needs a new agent and Nora is assigned to him. He's at a crossroads - coming back from an major ankle injury - and she's trying to prove herself in a male-dominated industry. But sparks from the past are immediate and distracting for both of them.
🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: The last few Sarah Adams books I've read have been such great reads. And I leave them with a warm fuzzy feeling, which is the goal, right?
The Rule Book was one I wasn't sure I would love - since I had such a meltdown over the ending to The Cheat Sheet. But this book was so well-rounded and featured two characters I couldn't help but love. Nora is eccentric - and while I typically can't deal with FMCs like that, she was not only extremely likeable, but funny and unique and relatable in a way that made me smile. Derek? Impossible not to fall in love with that guy.
The one thing I absolutely love was the mutual pining. Nothing like two people who see one another again and immediately their hearts start pounding and they're completely gone for each other. There were parts of this book that should have felt stereotypical - a Vegas wedding, a staged honeymoon, etc. - but read so romantically I couldn't find it in me to care.
I think it's safe to say I just love the warm hug of Sarah Adams' writing... and I can't wait to continue along for the ride.
𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹: 3/5 🌶🌶🌶
𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀: I absolutely adore her other series, When in Rome if you're looking to read more Sarah Adams.
