“Rules are meant to be broken…not hearts.”
Never read this author before, what a nice surprise. I’ll start by saying Emma’s family are nuts trying to run her life to their rules..which by the way never work anyway. Knox is the new guy at work, their chemistry was sizzling. Knox though was frustrating, his hot and cold attitude annoying as hell. They both had baggage and had to work hard through their own on and off romance to get through it. Plenty of dramatic scenes in between the banter making for an entertaining read.
House Rules – yup grew up with them, hated them, fought against them all of my life. Hell they never worked or made sense to me then or now. So why all of a sudden am I going nuts?? What’s the big deal you may ask. . . if only you knew. I didn’t obey the rules and now I am wondering after all this time if maybe just maybe they aren’t so crazy afterall.
An emotional trip into an emotionally crazy life. He made her want to disobey the rules but at what costs. These two have a passionate wild introduction that just keeps getting wilder when life gets in the way. They heal others but who will heal them and keep them strong. I loved the story even though at times I wanted to slap them both (cos I am an emotional reader) the author keeps you spinning which keeps you invested in their story and their world. This is my first read by this author and I pla on reading much more.
House rules is an emotional rollercoaster. Emma has grown up with her mother enforcing a set of rules about who she must date if she wants to find true love. Knox breaks the rules. He is not what her mother approves of in so many ways, but Knox is not looking for a relationship. He has been burnt by a past girlfriend and he is not prepared to fall in love. Emma and Knox have a chemistry that can not be denied and even though they deny they are attracted to each other and try to stay away from each other they are destined to be together. They have a lot of hurdles in their lives, crazy exes, interfering family members, family tragedy and more but they come together for their happy ever after in the end.
Mannn, this book was sooo good!! I absolutely loved reading Emma and Knox’s story. It was sweetness, steam, and suspense all wrapped up in one big box lol. This book was one of the few that hooked me right from the start then kept me from wanting to put it down until the very end.
Emma and Knox are such a power couple, whose being held back by invisible forces: Emma’s house rules and Knox’s previously broken heart. As the two overcome their own internal battles, as well as the hurdles Emma’s family keeps tossing out, the two still manage to come together to, to claim what they have known to be true since the moment they laid eyes on each other. This emotional roller coaster ends in a happily ever after that is swoon-worthy!
