If you want to stay alive, you better know the rules . . .
Natalia Mayne said, “What’s the first rule?”
“Fear nothing,” I said.
“You have any more?”
“Do unto them before they do unto you.”
“Really?”
”And you don’t owe the truth to people who lie.”
“I’ve never met anybody like you.”
“I’ve heard that before.”
Mike Romeo is an ex-cage fighter living off the grid in L.A. Running from a dark guilt … an ex-cage fighter living off the grid in L.A. Running from a dark guilt that dogs him, he’s finally found a place where he can rest and even heal.
Then a church blows up. And with it all of Romeo’s hopes to be left alone. When he stops to help an injured woman whose kids are missing, someone decides to put a target on his back.
But whoever wants him dead picked the wrong guy. Because Romeo has rules––and he’s going to make them stick.

Absolutely loved the plot. Stupendous twist at the ending. Romeo is obviously a genius and I didn’t need to have an encyclopedia of information in the book to get that through to me. Book could have been much shorter and in my opinion it would have made it better. I skipped over most of the personal thoughts he put in there. But I did love the book!
My introduction to the Mike Romeo series. I’m planning to read the rest. Not for you if you prefer your violence off the page.
Things are not always what they seem.
I don’t read many books, but I read this one. It was interesting. Well done, Mr. Bell.
I love the character Bell has created. His sense of humor (and honor) and his vulnerability. Each book in the series is a page-turner. Fun reading and a character to cheer for.
This was the first book from James Scott Bell that I’ve had a chance to read. I’m a fan now. This book caught my interest right away and kept it throughout. I look forward to book 2.
I’ll be back to read more of Romeo…fun to read and gave some pause to think about his approach to life.
This was a great book. I usually delete books after I read them but I can’t quite face doing that to this book. I want to remember just how good the book is and read more from the author. The story continues….into the sequel.
Found this book to be interesting and a bit different. *S*
Just finished this book and ordered the next two in the series. Great characters!
Another James Scott Bell classic. Romeo’s Rules is full of suspense and action.
Mr. Bell really pulls you in using other great literary works from Ancient Greece to modern mysteries. All this wound with murder and brutality. Strange to say, but it all works for me.
Can’t get enough Romeo….excellent reading…..
Good book, good story, good characters.
Great characters…
Interesting main character (“Carthage must be destroyed”); a bit violent. It was a good story that suddenly all came together and ended rather abruptly.
Great book, keeps you interested. Some unexpected twists and turns.
Well written, enjoyable read, I would definitely recommend this author and will be looking for more of his books.
I enjoyed the Romeo character and his sense of humor. It was a fast read.
Mike Romeo is a great character. Really enjoyed the dialogue
