Review: A LOVELY READ!!!
Rating: 4 out of 5

When I first started reading this book, I wasn't really into to it. In my mind I was thinking Rules of the Game was a cute read and didn't expect much more out of it. I thought maybe judging by the book's synopsis it would be a predictable read, and I would guess everything that was going to happen. Let me just say, holy crap was I wrong. This story was fabulous, and when I wasn't reading this book, I couldn't help but wonder what was going to transpire, and craved time to jump back into the story. Having a busy life is a dreadful thing when a great unfolding plot is calling your name.The thing I enjoyed most about this novel is the way the story unravels; or rather the way Maddie's life unravels. As you are reading this story everything that occurs takes you completely by surprise. I was mind blown when Maddie's skeletons leaped out of her closet to dance the night away with her at her high-school reunion. I literally had my mouth hanging wide open reading, as Maddie's secrets are revealed in front of the very people she was trying to impress.The romance between Scott and Maddie isn't some intense romance with two people falling head over heels in love; you need to walk into this story very clear of that. Scott and Maddie's "relationship" is in the background of the story itself, adding-to but never taking away from the plot. This novel is more about Maddie and her life, and the things that have happened in her life. Scott, seriously ladies is the definition of the words great guy. Scott is willing to stand by Maddie's side through everything she is going through. Scott is ready to battle against all of Maddie's "demons", but Maddie can't seem to stop pushing Scott away.I really enjoyed watching Scott's character develop from some guy Maddie picks up at a bar; to this magnificent guy I want to meet (if I wasn't happily married of course). Scott is no angel in this novel he has secrets of his own, although they don't really compare the crap storm that is Maddie's life. I would of liked to know more about Scott's character; you get a small glimpse into his life and it kind of fades under the spotlight of Maddie.Ah and now for the recommendation. I recommend this book to reader, but it is for adult readers only. Happy Reading!
