Playing By The Rules is a little more vanilla than my usual read, but that being said, I quite enjoyed it. It was easy to read, well structured, and had interesting elements of deception, lust and jealousy that had me laughing out loud at times.Kate is believable and real, if slightly whiny. She's also a little too insecure and self indulgent for my tastes but likeable none the less. Kate has her life planned out and can't handle it when those plans are turned completely upside down, in desperation she enlists a fake fiancée, maybe he can help put things right.Josh comes across as a bit of a softie, he was often easily swayed and pushed around by Kate. I do prefer my leading men with a bit more backbone; but he has a long standing crush on Kate and can't resist the chance to get closer to her.What ensues is not a new scenario in romance books, but it is what it is; an entertaining and escapist read.Overall, I really enjoyed Playing by the Rules. It's a well written, strong story with interesting main characters and situations. A great lazy Sunday afternoon read, it gets 4 stars from me.
