I read The Red Wife before reading this book, and I was so intrigued by the back story to that book, that I was super excited to get the chance to read book one.It was interesting to see Mariss and Bash’s relationship develop and grow from the beginning. Again, I felt the intensity of their feelings for each other, and I loved how they dealt with things in a mature way. Even with the cat and mouse game they played, Mariss was still adamant that her husband and her marriage came above all else. I liked that she didn’t just fall at Bash’s feet like most other women.Bash is an amazingly written character who captured my heart. He was sexy, alluring, and a bit of a bad boy, but in a unique way. His personality had an ease to it and it felt like he was never trying too hard to be the guy that everyone wanted, he just was – he was magnetic and fun, and it came across naturally. He was the type of guy that I could have a good time with because he knew what he wanted and wasn’t afraid to ask for it.I really enjoyed everything about this book. It flowed well, kept me riveted from page one all the way through, and offered me everything I love in erotic romance – great sex scenes that stretched the boundaries without being overly garish, forbidden romance with super-charged chemistry, plenty of sexual tension, and a sense of realism that is not often found in erotic reads. It wasn’t all about the passion and lust, but had a great story that could have easily carried this story without the sauciness. Not that I’m complaining about the sauciness because it just made this book all the more spectacular.I would recommend the Without Rules Series to anyone looking for a great erotic read. You will not be disappointed. And if erotica makes you squeamish, just skip past the steamy scenes and enjoy the fantastic love story woven into this story, along with plenty of suspense, intrigue and passion.
