Reviewed by: JoAnneBook provided by: AuthorReview originally posted at Romancing the BookRules of the Game was an unexpectedly quick read that kept me interested from beginning to end. So much so that I read it straight through in one sitting.Rules of the Game had tears, laughter, heartache, tension, family and friends along with lots of romance and ultimately love. There were so many surprising twists and turns to the story that I didn't see coming but added multiple layers to the storyline. The chemistry between Maddie and Scott was so hot it burned the pages and the sheets. Maddie was so hard to read at times since she had so much baggage from her past that she carried with her that she had never worked through. Once Maddie let go of her prejudices and fears she was a different person and Scott's calming influence gave her the comfort and balance she needed. Scott always seemed to "get" her and always knew when Maddie needed him by her side or needed his strength. The happily ever after gave closure but also let their love shine through.James is a new to me author but this won't be the only book of hers I read. I will definitely be adding her other contemporary romance novels to my TBR pile.Favorite Quote: "Look, if a big ox like me can learn to dance, someone as graceful as you should have no trouble at all?""Graceful? You think I'm graceful?"His smile always made my heart skip a beat. "Most of the time. Not so much when you've had a few beers."He leaned in to kiss my cheek. "Trust me on this, okay? Let me do this for you, Maddie."
