Although the first chapter was very confusing, from the second chapter onwards I enjoyed Rules of the Game very much. Samantha is a down-to-earth woman who is intelligent, feisty, athletic, and beautiful but doesn't realize that she is all of these things. Adam is a handsome, rich, successful, ex-marine who discovers in Samantha everything he didn't even know that he was looking for. The growth of their relationship from immediate lust to a deep committment was a lot of fun to read because of the sparkling dialogue and vivid imagery. Including the cause of supporting wounded vets certainly added a great deal to the story. I only have one criticism and that is having Adam buying a puppy from a pet shop. ALL puppies in pet shops come from puppy mills! Therefore, if you must have a purebred, either buy from a reputable breeder or adopt from a group that specializes in the breed you want. Aside from that one point, I found the book to be delightful and it left me with a good feeling when I finished it. I have no problem recommending this book.
