The Bad Boy Rule by Maren Moore
5.0

MAREN!!! This one was so worth the wait. I could not get enough of Saint and Lennon!! These two should not have worked together, and it made everything even more delicious when they realized they were exactly what the other needed. 

Lennon is seemingly your typical good girl from the right side of the tracks, but she's trying to find herself and take ownership of her life after realizing just how little control she's really had. Saint is the tattooed, broody hockey player who built a brick wall around his heart and keeps everyone at arm's length. When these two meet on the ice after accidentally being scheduled for the same time, they immediately hate each other. Forced to share the ice, their banter was amazing, and the tension was turned up to 11!! 

Before long, they come up with a plot to anger her parents by fake dating and attending events together. But as we know, fake doesn't stay fake for long! Both Saint and Lennon have pretty awful dads, and there are some very hard moments in this book, but the way these two came together was beautiful. I loved how Saint opened up to Lennon and wanted to be the man she deserved, and Lennon saw who Saint really was deep down. 

I loved this book so so much & these characters. Thank you to Maren and her team for the ARC!
