There is nothing predictable about this story. Written very well, you will keep reading to see what happens next. You will care about the characters. Just when you think the story is turning one way, everything changes and something different happens. I definetly recommend this book.
Book Review: Rule Breaker
Author: Phoebe Alexander
FIVE STARS
Phoebe Alexander is a wonderful story teller. Her stories have real characters that anyone can compare themselves to, and the situations they find themselves in are all too real.
In Rule Breaker this is no exception. Ms. Alexander writes all Body Positive, Sex Positive erotic romance novels. Her characters are in their late 30s and even older. She writes strong females who take no crap from anyone. In this book Ms. Alexander writes about ethical non-monogamy and a hot wife relationship.
Athena and her husband Warren are empty nesters and are looking for some excitement in their sex lives. Warren, who is eight years older than Athena (46) is wanting his wife to enjoy her sexual prime and in order for her to do this he is encouraging her to find another man to play with.
This is their story and how they came to meet and fall in love with Ramsey.
Fantastic and this is only the beginning. Unlike the Juniper Court Series where there were several authors who released books close together to make a complete series, this series is going to be intertwined but not together like the other. The next book “Game Changer” is by Sylvie Stewart and it features Poppy James, who is a character in this book as well.

Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander
Good Lord where are the ratings past 5 Stars
Really???!!!
***Throwing up the white flag***
I give up, every single time I think this author can not write a better book then the last one of hers I finished she goes and writes another one, and tackles yet another topic which I can’t even come close to imagining and by the end makes it all seem normal. Thriple? Really?? My favorite word of the week.
There was one point at about 3⁄4’s of the way through that my heart was racing so fast, I couldn’t read fast enough and I was speed walking with Athena yelling You Go Girl!!
I can’t even …this was such an amazing read…I smiled, I shook my head, I was angry, I was flustered, I was in love, I was running around trying to find things to fan myself with…I worked really hard reading this story and I’m wore slap out yet I want to read it all again…
I’m not even going to go into any of the storyline, just know that this is absolutely one of my favorite books so far this year and definitely in the group of my favorites of all time. The writing is perfection and as I learned early on I go into all of this authors books with an open mind and somehow she takes all kinds of topics that I don’t choose to read and has taught me that there is a whole lot more normal then I had ever thought possible and I have built up such a trust in her writing that I know that things I don’t read will always be handled beautifully when I pick up her books. It’s hard to explain and I dont have the words which is why I’m the reader and she’s the author.
Perfection
This book was a different twist to the same old love story. How many fantasies would you like to live out? And how many rules would you break to do so? Althea struggles with thise 2 questions and the results might melt your kindle. Highly recommend.
Phoebe Alexander remains a must read author for me. So I had this in my queue without really reading the summary. Jumping in without a clue I’m not sure why I don’t expect the unexpected from Alexander. But she still somehow finds a way to surprise me with every book. The steam factor is absolutely off the charts. Readers should be cautioned to pick this up fully aware of the content they will be jumping into. That said, I absolutely loved the plot points established in this book. The characters were real and fascinating and flat out hilarious. From situation to detail to relationship to romance, I simply couldn’t get enough. Alexander continues to be held in the highest esteem and I only hope that everyone gives this latest book of hers a chance.
Am I jealous of Athena? I absolutely am. When my husband and I are married for 23 years I want the spark that this character has.

This steamy read had me totally captivated from the very beginning with the great character and storyline development! The interaction and the chemistry between Athena and Warren kept me turning the pages until the very end!
Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander is one heck of a steamy book that was so easy to get lost in. I have read many books by this author and this easily became a favorite. Athena worked hard and always played by the rules. She wants to make her magazine make it and created an amazing team to help make it happen. Warren, her husband is retired now and wants to go on vacation and play. In order to succeed in her magazine and Warren’s fantasy, she sets her eyes on Ramsay. Athena always promised herself she would never mix work with pleasure, but will she break the rules? You must read to find out!
What I really loved about this book was the story was real life, believable, with an amazing fantasy thrown in. I love the strong characters that the author created and the HOT STORY line! I give this book five stars and recommend for people over 18.
I crave Phoebe Alexander’s books and this one didn’t disappoint!
Who wouldn’t swoon after Warren?!? He’s retired and does the housework but looking to spice things up. Athena works as an editor for a magazine that needs more spice before the magazine goes downhill. Jobs are on the line but ideas are given…..and they might spark things in the magazine….and her real life…..
Miss Alexander is my one-click author. Her books are addicting and you crave the next one right after you finish!
Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander was a complete surprise to me in the best way possible. I have gotten so used to enjoying everything this author writes that I don’t even bother to read the blurb any more. So I went in completely blind to this book. And I am so glad I did.
Although I knew what kind of thing to expect from her the author did a great job of creating a brilliant and exciting story. Because I didn’t have any preconceptions about the storyline I really felt like I was swept along with the characters.
I really enjoyed the story and how it was written. It was believable and yet a complete fantasy at the same time. This book is a definite must read.
Rule Breaker is my relationship goals! I always find a way to connect to this authors female characters in some way. Athena was no different. I loved her confidence and her work ethics. I want to be Athena. Her relationship with her husband, Warren, is strong and loving. They have a way of just knowing what the other needs and a way to push when the other needs a little nudge. They have open communication that fosters growth in both their relationship as well as individually.
Athena and Warren are married and their children are out on their own. Warren is retired and Athena is taking on the project of her career. They are open and honest with each other about their fantasies which in this case is called hot wives.
Now Ramsey oh Ramsey. The hot younger stud that works with Athena. The flirting and steam jumps off the page. However all is not hearts and flowers. I have to say I had my eye on him. I was questioning his intent and the author really had me at the edge of my seat when it came to him.
I don’t want to spoil it. Just know where will be blushing and cheering through out!

5 stars
I don’t even bother reading the blurbs for the books by this author now because I think she is so wonderful and talented I know I am going to enjoy whatever it is she has written. Rule Breaker was, as expected, a fantastic 5 star read! I loved going in blind as I didn’t have a clue what was going to happen. I loved Athena and Warren; they were such a wonderful couple to read about. She was feisty, independent and he was just adorable and loved Athena so much! I should know by now to expect the unexpected with regards to storyline and characters with Ms Alexander! I loved the way she took the story and how the characters evolved from beginning to end. There were certainly some very hot and steamy encounters along the way between the characters involved! Along with that were some great twists and turns! Whilst I might not always agree with some of the lifestyles this author chooses to write about I can never, ever fault her amazing story telling ability and her talent in drawing you into the lives of her characters thus enabling you to see things from a variety of perspectives!
Another fantastic 5 star read that I cannot recommend highly enough!
Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander. This is the story of Athena Lennox and her husband Warren. Athena works in the crazy high powered world of the magazine industry. She works hard, follows the rules and she’s got a team together to save her magazine. Warren is recently retired and ready to have fun. He’s been hounding her to take a vacation and has some crazy ideas about this vacation. Mixing business and pleasure is something Athena swore she would never do but it may be the only way to save her magazine and her marriage. To indulge her husbands fantasy she finds the hottest guy who just happens to be the magazine director. His name is Ramsey Pearce and he makes Athena’s heart beat fast! Needless to say the sex scenes are HOT! Even though this book it about MFM relationship Ms. Alexander writes so well you come to truly care about the characters. I love her writing style and will read every book I can find of hers!
I loved this book! It is hot, steamy and full of romance. I never hesitate to pick up one of this author’s books, they are that good. The characters are well developed, connectable and they brought the story to life. This is a story about love and protecting those you love. Athena has a retired husband who wants to bring a third person into their relationship plus she save a magazine business. She knows the rules but how far is she willing to go to break her own rules? This is a must read story.
I was intrigued with the premise of this book and was hooked from the start! The idea of the kind of relationship the characters entered into was not something I was familiar with but it definitely works for them. I loved seeing how everyone getting what they wanted worked out and made their lives better – and the times they were all together – HOT!!!!!
There was tension and suspense and drama through the whole thing that added to the love story that was building. Another great read from Phoebe Alexander!!
5 Stars
Wow! I have read number of romances with various “poly” themes. In this one we are introduced to a married couple that have decided to explore a husband’s “hotwife” fantasy, and boy oh boy is it hot! Athena and Warren have a relationship any couple would envy. The mutual love, respect and sexual chemistry they possess is off the charts dreamy. Enter the other man for the hotwife scenario and things seriously heat up. Now, don’t think sex is all you get from this book, oh no, this book has one seriously business savvy group of women and when things get intense and twisted expect to not be able to put this book down until you finish. I absolutely love how Ms. Alexander has created a story with a very non traditional relationship in a very realistic modern day environment, tackling current issues in everyday business. You need this book in your life…And speaking from someone who has never been a rule breaker, it was absolutely fun to read about being one!

Couldn’t put it down! This is a great novel with a very well thought out, if surprising storyline. All her characters are so well developed and described that all the scenes leap off the page. There is so much intrigue and animosity amongst some of the character which provide a brilliantly described contrast to the developing love between Athena and Ramsey with a corporate glossy magazine as the background. Add to this Warren, Athena’s loving husband of over 20 years who encouraged his wife to become a ‘hotwife’, taking a boyfriend so he can watch. You will be on the edge of your seat, there is so much happening. It is an incredible MFM menage story which eases gradually into the plot and becomes an organic part. The story is so incredibly steamy, that I would be hard pressed to name another one more so. The writer gives us an HEA, which considering the circumstances of our main player’s lives, it wasn’t a mean feat. However, all is well that ends well in more ways than one Perhaps a tad optimistic ending and the occasional proof-reading could be improved upon are my only non-10/10 observations.
