The Rule Book
by Jennifer Blackwood
As soon as I saw the cover of The Rule Book I was interested in it. I was trying to be good about keeping my book schedule light, though, so I resisted the temptation of getting it. Later, I stumbled on the synopsis and I was a total goner - I just immediately wanted to read it.
I was really looking forward to The Rule Book, although when my friend told me that it wasn't really steamy but the storyline was good, I will admit that I was a little disappointed because I love and need my sexy books, but I thought as long as Ms. Blackwood didn't tease me, I would be fine. I was a tiny bit hesitant to start it but once I did, I really liked it and got into the story. There were a few steamy thoughts that gave me pause but I ignored those doubts because I was enjoying being inside Lainey's head.
Lainey is an awesome heroine and she is truly one of the reasons that this book is so good. She's funny, sassy, smart and a smarta*s. She's a tough cookie but what I loved the most about her is how genuine, decent, and kind-hearted she is. Honestly, if Lainey hadn't been who Lainey is, I wouldn't have loved the book like I did - she's just that great.
The Rule Book is an amazing book. It's funny and entertaining with its beautiful moments, its heartache-y ones, and its sweet and little sexy times. I had to agree with my friend that it was a great storyline and although I really loved it, it was also a case of frustration for me because of all the hot thoughts Lainey had plus some hot action with Brogan that ultimately went nowhere. I can handle a totally sweet read, it's just when I get teased with these sexy thoughts and half-steamy moments that lead to nothing that I turn into not a happy camper - I just don't like to be or to feel like I'm being teased, you know, I want all or nothing. That is all me and my pet peeves though and even with the things I didn't like about this books, I did mostly love and enjoy it, so I think that you should still give The Rule Book a chance, even if you do like your books steamy.
The Rule Book is a standalone told only from Lainey's POV and she and Brogan do get their happily-ever-after.
