Rule is everything a straight-A pre-med student like Shaw shouldn\u2019t want\u2014and the only person she\u2019s never tried to please. She isn\u2019t afraid of his scary piercings and tattoos or his wild attitude. Though she knows that Rule is wrong for her, her heart just won\u2019t listen.<br \/>\nTo a rebel like Rule Archer, Shaw Landon is a stuck-up, perfect princess-and his dead twin brother\u2019s girl. She lives by other people\u2019s rules; he makes his own. He doesn\u2019t have time for a good girl like Shaw-even if she\u2019s the only one who can see the person he truly is.<br \/>\nBut a short skirt, too many birthday cocktails, and spilled secrets lead to a night neither can forget. Now, Shaw and Rule have to figure out how a girl like her and a guy like him are supposed to be together without destroying their love . . . or each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Review:<\/h2>\n<p>Shaw has always loved Rule.\u00a0 Rule hasn&#8217;t looked at Shaw as more than his brother&#8217;s girlfriend.\u00a0 But, after Shaw&#8217;s birthday full of cocktails, Rule sees first hand that he&#8217;s never really seen everything clearly.\u00a0 Shaw and Rule begin a tumultuous relationship that has more hurdles than an Olympic race.\u00a0 As Rule learns more and gets closer to Shaw he begins to panic and his old fears surface.\u00a0 Between Shaw&#8217;s secrets and Rule&#8217;s insecurities can they come together to share a love they both feel or will they let it all go without a backward glance?<br \/>\nI adored this book.\u00a0 Shaw was an awesome character.\u00a0 She was feisty in her own way and definitely wouldn&#8217;t put up with Rule&#8217;s shenanigans.\u00a0 Rule is the epitome of a sex god with tattoos and piercings.\u00a0 Their relationship burned through the pages of this book.\u00a0 It wasn&#8217;t just Shaw and Rule that made this book awesome.\u00a0 Their friends are some of the best parts of the story.\u00a0 I adored all of them and everything they added to the book.\u00a0 Jay Crownover&#8217;s writing and storytelling skill is fantastic.\u00a0 It&#8217;s definitely addictive and pulls you in and won&#8217;t let go.\u00a0 If you like sexy, tattooed and pierced guys with sassy girls you will love the Marked Men series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Howdy everyone!\u00a0 I know I have been MIA for a few days but I hope you are prepared cause I have been having a read-a-thon and will be having lots of books coming your way.\u00a0 Today, I finally ready Rule by Jay Crownover.\u00a0 This book has been on my TBR list and boy am I&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[788,1013,1200,1325,1513],"class_list":["post-2959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-jay-crownover","tag-marked-men-series","tag-piercings","tag-rule","tag-tattoos"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
