Thanks to the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review
✩🌴🦈Review:
“The Rule Book” follows Nora Mackenzie, a sports agent whose first client is famous NFL tight end Derek Pender. He also happens to be her ex-boyfriend and he’s still holding a grudge. He’s determined to make her life difficult, but when a wild night in Vegas leads to an accidental marriage, they have to rekindle their relationship to save their careers.
Reading this book was like getting a warm hug and its all because I really adored the characters. Nora is my favorite of Sarah’s female main characters because she is so inspiring, unapologetically herself, and hardworking. Adams gives her so much personality and I found myself relating to her organization skills (specifically color-coding), can-do attitude, and love of sweet treats. I also saw a lot of myself in Derek. Though I do not have a shared experience with a learning disability diagnosis, I’ve felt inadequate before and I resonated with his internal struggle. Both Nora and Derek really moved me and I now consider them my comfort characters.
Nora and Derek’s second chance romance had me feeling so giddy! Adams does a great job establishing what their relationship was like in college and why it eventually fell apart. She executes the “right person, wrong time” narrative so well and weaves in some of my other favorite tropes like accidental marriage/marriage of convenience, only one bed, and “that’s my wife” flawlessly without overwhelming the reader. The inclusion of such tropes push Nora and Derek to face their lingering feelings for each other and act on them to give their relationship another shot. I couldn’t get enough of the mutual pining, the tension, and the way they continuously uplift each other. Thank you Sarah for this masterpiece! I’m so obsessed with this book that it hurts.

"Do you see now? You’re always giving me things that remind you of me, but I’m over here stealing things that remind me of you. I’m not humoring you, Bree. I’m not taking this lightly. I’m so devastatingly in love with you, it hurts sometimes."

Book Review: Practice Makes Perfect (When in Rome #2) by Sarah Adams
One of my good friends, a fellow introvert like myself, bought me this book for Christmas. She knows how much I enjoy a fluffy romance, particularly when there's pretend dating involved, and thought I'd resonate with Annie, the shy flowershop owner with social anxiety who struggles with what to say on dates, and boy, was she right! Like Annie, I also tend toward shyness, keep to myself, and prefer books to people. So needless to say I giggled and kicked my feet all the way through this.
After she overhears a date call her "unbelievably boring," Annie begins to think the problem is with her and decides that she needs someone to help her practice. Someone to help her improve her dating skills. This is where Will, executive protection agent for Amelia Rose, her soon-to-be sister-in-law, steps in. He is a man without romantic attachments of any kind and, at first, doesn't want to help. However, with an underlying attraction to Annie, and a desire to show her that she's perfect just as she is, he can't say no. Only...what he isn't bargaining for is how she makes him feel. Or how all he wants to do is be around her all the time. It's adorable!
I had a lot of fun with this book. I loved the small town setting, with Rome's family and neighbors sticking their noses in everywhere, the subversive take on fake dating, which was less "pretend" and more "practice," Annie and Will's chemistry and communication skills, as well as the way in which their conception of love and commitment evolved over time. So sweet!
4/5 stars
