Rule Breaker
By: Phoebe Alexander
5 out of 5 stars
The story Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander is an amazing romance book. It pulls you in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until I had read the last page. It is a story that is romantic and steamy. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Athena and Warren. Athena works hard in the magazine industry and now has to deal with her magazine being on the chopping block. Athena is a strong, beautiful, and determined woman. Her husband Warren has just retired. He is one that has a vivid imagination and thinks up new ideas. Athena finds herself pulled in different directions. One of them involves the marketing director, Ramsey Pearce. What does the future hold for Athena? Read this book to find out. This story is very steamy and will make the temperature in the room rise. There is flirting and teasing as well. There are times when I had a smile on my face and other times that I felt upset with what happens to some of the characters. I grew to care about many of the characters with each chapter that I read. You will want them to be happy and succeed in all that they do. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that has unforgettable characters. I highly recommend reading it.
“all women are ‘that kind of woman’ given the right set of circumstances.”
A very different take on a “Hotwife” romance.
Athena is a successful career woman with a strong marriage who is urged by her loving husband to seek a lover. This is a sweet romance about a happily married couple who take the path less traveled. I’d have liked a little more angst, but what is here is solid, the characters are likable and the sex is hot.
Recommended.
I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Fun storyline. A few unexpected twists. And, lots of heat. Phoebe gives the reader a fun time with this book.
Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander is a standalone but is connected to another book by a different author. I read the other book first, but probably should have read this one first not that it matters it’s mainly the timeline in my head.
I love Ms. Alexander and everything I have read by her to date. This book held nothing back, Athena and her husband Warren start it in chapter one and it doesn’t let up.
I remember a time when I could relate to the female lead because we were young and close to the same place in life. As I’ve gotten older I have found that I don’t get that connection simply because I’m now the age of the lead female’s Mom.
Athena, Warren and Ramsey have such an interesting dynamic and the heat is off the charts. Had to put it down a few times just to catch my breath.
If you are looking for some hot moments with a great story to go along with it then this is the book for you.
Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander. I have never ever been disappointed by one of Phoebe Alexander’s book!!! This book had me turning the pages as fast I could!!! One of the best romance with a twist books….. Phoebe knows how to keep you engulfed in a book…… romance and hot sex scenes!!! Love love loves this one!!!
I have read a couple of books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. I love a good steamy contemporary romance but this book exceeded all my expectations. This author has become one of my favorites this year. I was excited when I got this book I put everything down and started to read it immediately. This talented author never disappoints. It only took me a few hours to devour this incredible book.
Athena Lennox is the editor of a lifestyle magazine. She loves her job but her boss tells her they need a redesign. Athena ends up finding the dream team that become her friends. She is happily married to her husband. Her husband wants her to retire and just enjoy life like him. Athena doesn’t want to retire, especially when she has amazing ideas for this magazine. She is busy with her magazine when her husband asks her if she could spice up their bedroom life. Athena is very timid at first until she meets the very handsome Ramsey Peirce. She has never felt things for a man like this before. She knows it’s wrong but it feels so right. Athena quickly finds out that Ramsey is hiding secrets of his own. Will Athena keep some secrets of her own or will she break some rules?
I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, mystery, and a lot of drama. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Athena is a very hard working woman that knows what she wants. She will do anything to see her husband happy. There are some very steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what she will write next.
This story is an absolute hot, adventurous, steamy, well written, darn near perfect and exciting, story. Warren and his wife Athena are happily married with grown kids. Warren the ever perfect husband, lover and man in general, has a fantasy that he shares with Athena. A hotwife fantasy. I have heard of this in reality but haven’t read about it. WOW! And then “enters” Ramsey! The hot young guy at Athena’s office. It’s almost too easy for this couple. Of course they do come across a couple of bumps in the road because hey not everything is unicorns and rainbows! A fantastic read!
I can’t wait to read more by this author and even about the secondary characters.
Rule Breaker was a hot and steamy 5 star read.
Athena is a hard working woman whose husband has recently retired. When her husband springs a fantasy on her that he’s been thinking about she is shocked. She’s not sure if she really believes what he is asking of her, he wants her to be a “hotwife”.
WIth the idea in her head she starts to notice Ramsey Pearce in a different way. He’s a very good looking man with a very nice body and personality. She has never crossed the line of mixing business with pleasure, she had a bad experience when she first started in the field.
As things move forward and her husband encourages Athena to take things further with Ramsey we get some very very hot scenes. When things take a twist at work with a jealous co-worker Athena will have to make some decisions. Ramsey also has some secrets of his own.
What will happen when the secrets come out? Can they make things work between the three of them?
Overall I really enjoyed this read. There was a great storyline and it was hot and steamy. If you’re looking for a good MFM read you will enjoy this one. And I loved the Princess Bride quotes, loved it. 1-click and get started today.
Phoebe Alexander is one author that comes to mind when I think of hot and sexy stories. Rule Breaker does not disappoint. Alexander has built up her books with confidence, building, and strong complex characters. I often feel like the characters can be close like friends in the “normal” life. Alexander brings out so many emotions within myself that I feel like I am in the story as well. The main theme of the story is about protecting loved ones. In this story Athena has a husband who recently retired and wants to bring another partner to their bed. Athena has a lot going on besides what her husband is asking of her. She is also trying to save a magazine business. There are rules out there to follow within the business world, relationships, and marital romance. Will Athena be able to figure out what to do? What rules are ok to break when others are not to be broken?
Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander a five-star read is not for the faint of heart. I adore this author and she never lets me down, her stories are always filled with passion and drama and some humour throw in as well, but there is also a sublime plot running through that just gets you. Office romance isn’t one I usually enjoy, it’s a little too close to my current role and its so far away from my day to day that I don’t enjoy, but this time I really did. I must say that above all else this one tugged at more than just my heart strings, there is something special about this whole story and you would be sorry to miss Athena, Warren and Ramsey.
Phoebe Alexander is definitely becoming one of my all-time favourite authors. She continues to captivate the readers with the epic storyline and even better characters.
This book was hot in all the right places. The characters were well developed and really bring the best out of the story. They are real, relatable and you really connected with them and their journey in this read.
I absolutely loved the plot points of this read it held me until the very end. You cannot fault this author on how she writes steamy scenes, they are classy and well put together.
This book is high on my recommendation list, along with all of Phoebe Alexander’s books. It is another read that shouldn’t be missed!
Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander is a romance story with a twist that is hot, hot, hot. Phoebe is known for turning up the heat and she does not disappoint. I read it in one day, on the bus on the way to work, at lunch, on the way home on the bus and last night. I was so immersed that I could not put it down. There are a few characters that you want them to go away but the main characters just hit the spot. I loved Warren he just cracked me up with his excitement of his fantasies coming to life.
What happens when your husband wants to explore other things sexually? What he wants is a “Hotwife” and he may just get what he wants.
I will not give you any of the story as you need to sit and read it for yourself. Suffice it to say you will not be disappointed. You may also find yourself in need of a cold shower!
Once again I am just a girl staring at her computer screen wondering where to start with another fantastic Phoebe Alexander novel. I can’t possibly do this storyline justice outside of what has already been said in the blurb, and frankly I couldn’t bear to ruin a single thing with spoilers so you won’t find them here. For all the fabulous details you will have to take my highest recommendation to discover the wonder that is a Phoebe Alexander novel.
I will tell you I adored the characters in this book. Athena is a fierce woman who has embraced herself and is doing her best to live her best life. Warren was funny and doting, something I really loved seeing and made him relatable and lovable. Ramsey is the sexy heat of the book really and sounds swoon-worthy. The ‘thriple’ that ensues is one sexy, intriguing, and enjoyable read! Prepare for the steamy scenes that Phoebe Alexander is famous for doing so well. I know there were several tall glasses of ice water consumed during the reading of this book lol. I can’t wait to see what else Ms. Alexander has in store for us!
That was, without a doubt, the hottest book I’ve ever read. I love these characters. There are so many twists and turns that you never see the end coming. Such an amazing job writing a very realistic, believable story. I got completely lost in this book and felt like I WAS Athena, which is the ultimate goal of any book IMO. This was my first Phoebe Alexander book-but it definitely won’t be my last! Incredible job. 5 stars.
5 Stars
Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander is such a sexy, steamy, contemporary romance that focuses on an MFM threesome with some drama, intrigue, a little suspense, office romance elements, and plenty of emotion.
I have read all of Ms. Alexander’s books now and I can always count on her to deliver a captivating read. I love that Ms. Alexander never fails to up the ante with each book she delivers- each one slightly eclipsing previous ones. She’s able to create sizzling, interesting, and entirely addictive stories- with a fully developed cast of relatable, quirky, everyday people who come across as entirely realistic, believable, and quite endearing.
On an interesting note, this book seems to be a crossover with Game Changer by Sylvie Stewart, as the two books share characters, stage, and other details. I really enjoyed both books, and loved the clever, entertaining, and original stories both authors produced using the shared elements. While both books can be read as standalones, I really recommend reading both!
Athena Lennox is the editor of a lifestyle magazine whose readership has decline over the years. It is serious need of a restyle and revamp. She has a crack team assembled and is determined to turn things around. She and her husband Warren have a great life. Warren is now retired, and their children have left the nest. He’d like her to retire too, but she’s worked too hard to get to where she is.
Warren would love to spice things up and add some more sizzle to their relationship. But Athena isn’t all that convinced, especially now that she has more demands with work. Enter, stage right, Ramsey Pearce- the new marketing director, who’s very easy on the eye. Add a little drama, a few twists, some emotion, an extra dollop of sexy, and this story really takes off! What happens you ask? Well you really should grab yourself a copy and discover all the sinfully hot details for yourself. You won’t regret it!
Sublime!
Can’t wait to see what comes next!
Thank you, Ms. Alexander!
I have a rule for myself that is; if I cannot define a word, I must look it up. RULE BREAKER had me break my own rule because I thought I knew what a certain word/lifestyle is, but I was wrong.
RULE BREAKER has a double story line involving corporate politics “Why do all men just assume if two women don’t get along, one must be jealous of the other. Can’t we just legitimately dislike a b!@#h” and relationships? There are twists and turns along the way as well as some super open door sex.
The second aspect of the story is the MFM / HOTWIFE scenario which is well written. The story flows well from beginning to end and I devoured it in one sitting (thumbing past the sex scenes of course hahaha)
I absolutely recommend this story.
This story is a crossover from Sylvie Stewart’s GAME CHANGER and each can be read as a standalone.
This story grabs the attention from the first chapter right through to the end. The characters are well written, the story flows just grab the glass of wine.
Athena is a strong independent businesswoman who has to balance life at home with her loving retired husband and stress of dealing with persons at work who wish to see her fail at all cost.
When I thought this story was going one way, it turned out to be moving a different direction which kept it even more interesting. I really enjoyed reading this one.
Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander
5 stars
What would you do if you were tempted or even pushed to break your biggest rule when it comes to work? Not even for your husband? Well we find out if Athena is the rule breaker here or not in this story.
I love this author, hands down have read all her books to date. And this didn’t disappoint. Was different from her other reads and it was a homerun here!
Loved the characters, the drama, the hot bedroom and non bedroom scenes! This is a must read. I don’t want to say anymore for fear of giving too much away but can i get a Ramsey for myself?
