BLURB:
The first Zone Defense series spin-off with a rule-following basketball player and an unimpressed twink who thinks rules are made to be obliterated.
It’s not my milkshake that brings Kieran Kendall to my yard. Okay, maybe it’s a little bit my milkshake. But I also like to think it’s my dazzling personality and my magical… uhm… you get the idea.
Since meeting Kieran, my first, second, and admittedly third impressions of him have changed radically. Not surprising, since he was a prize D during at least two of those encounters. What I should be doing is running from the college basketball star who checks so many of my dream-guy boxes. But do you know how hard it is to find a hot guy who’s as smart as he is talented?
And I’m not just talking about his talent on the basketball court. Heck no.
It’s easy to get distracted by him, because of him, yet as far as he’s concerned, I’m the one who’s a distraction and throwing his carefully constructed plans out of whack.
I should be sorry. I should also be better at guarding my heart.
But Kieran Kendall is under my skin, and getting him to break his rules is far too much fun.
Rules, Schmules! is an 82k stand-alone MM romance featuring characters first introduced in No Take Backs. It contains ridiculous antics by college basketball players, a basketball mascot who likes to twerk, and lots of sweet and sexy times.
REVIEW:
Kieran and his team/roommates are huge in length, playing on the college basketball team.
Dean may be small but he’s feisty as fuck.
He literally collides with one of Kieran’s teammates and they start badly. Even the first few encounters with Kieran didn’t go well. Working on a class project together gets them closer.
Kieran finds Dean’s attitude appealing and sexy, he’s more and more attracted to him. He’s out to the team and close family, but not outside that circle.
Dean promised himself to never commit to a secret relationship again, here he is, it’s hard to resist Kieran. After the first struggle Dean is accepted by the teammates. The banter is hilarious at times.
Dean knows in his heart Kieran isn’t for a long goal, just for the summer, and he will never force him to come out, still, it’s a pity because they fit so perfectly.
Watching Kieran and Dean spend a lot of time together and getting close was absolutely thrilling.
It was right in all the ways.
Even though at first sight I thought Kieran was on the edge of being an asshole or a sweet cinnamon roll. It was already early clear he so very much the latter.
What a delightful story, such a pleasurable read. It has a great flow, great banter, fun, hot sexy moments, no stress, and a lot of great time. There are original turns and endearing moments. Kieran and Dean personalities were enough developed, they were fun together, their sexy encounters were so hot! The supportive family and crazy fun teammates were a great addition, this all together made it a more than wonderful narrative with not one dull moment!
The author has a joyous way of writing, it was a delight to read this story!
