The Bad Boy Rule by Maren Moore
4.5
emotional lighthearted fast-paced

The Bad Boy Rule

What to expect:
⛸️ Figure skater
🏒 Hockey
⚡ Opposites attract
💋 Fake dating
🔥 Enemies to lovers

Saint and Lennon deliver *peak* enemies-to-lovers tension. The banter? Absolutely delicious. ❤️‍🔥

Saint's backstory is heart-wrenching and deeply relatable. Maren Moore approaches it with real sensitivity, and it adds so much emotional depth to the story. You just want to give him a hug… and then swoon over a neck kiss scene that *completely* took me out. 💋

Saint might just be my new favorite Maren Moore MMC—he's the definition of a broken hero: wounded, guarded, and rocking a filthy mouth that had me blushing. 😆

And Lennon? She’s the golden girl who's finally done playing perfect. Watching her break away from her parents’ expectations and start living for herself was such a satisfying journey.

What starts as a fake relationship to prove a point to her dad (yes, she’s dating the bad boy on purpose) quickly evolves into something real and electric. These two bring out the absolute best—and hottest—in each other. 🔥

This book blends romance and steam with raw, emotional storytelling. You can feel the personal touches from the author, and it makes the story that much more meaningful.
