BOOKWORM REVIEW: Breaking All The Rules by Amy Andrews
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
SPICE: 🔥🔥🔥
You know you're in for a ride when a book makes you laugh out loud unexpectedly.
Beatrice Archer is tired of following the rules. After all, what has it done for her? She is miserable, works 24/7, is always hungry, and keeps getting passed over for a promotion.
When her last attempt at getting that corner office ends up going to someone far less qualified, she rage-quits and runs off to Credence, Colorado A.K.A. far, far away from L.A. as possible. There, she tries to break every rule she or others have imposed on her for years: she does what she wants, she dresses how she wants, and she eats what she wants.
When a run to refill her sugar supply has her crossing paths with Credence police officer Austin Cooper, she finds an ally who is willing to help her through the bucket list of rules to break. What she didn't expect is for the younger hottie to exchange banter that border on flirty and seductive with her.
This was a fun, fun ride. I love the instant chemistry between Bea and Austin. It is the kind that makes you bite your lip from grinning so much. It does not help that Austin feeds the flame with his charisma and flirtations. I stan a confident man who knows what he wants and who can bid his time to get it, and Austin just oozes that easy self-assurance. I also love that he respects Bea and is willing to wait until she is ready.
There is a slight slow burn to their story, but the wait for those spicy moments is so worth it.
I love the main characters, and the book is only made better by the adorable supporting cast. The Credence townspeople each have their own endearing quirks that add so much life and relatability to the story.
This is a standalone read, but I certainly will welcome more about some of the side characters in this book.
