Release Date: September 19, 2022

Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn…

Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

Colby Lennon, along with three of his friends, owned the building where my tattoo shop was located. He and I were total opposites. He wore a tie, oozed confidence that came with years of women falling at his feet, and wasn’t afraid to say what he wanted, which lately—was me.

I hated that I found myself attracted to him. Especially since I was supposed to be on a self-imposed dating hiatus. Yet the two of us couldn’t seem to stay away from each other. We started hanging out, as friends. I even went as far as making rules for what he’d dubbed our “undates.”

But eventually, our explosive attraction became too much to bear, and we broke our resolve. I let my guard down and started to really fall for Colby.

Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for where I’d wind up when the ride was over.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

I just love it when Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland come together and create book magic.  It’s like the hocus pocus of bookcraftery and it’s not even October yet!

The Rules of Dating is just another one to add to the pile of books I love by this dynamic Duo.   You’ve got Billie a crazy talented tattoo artist that has been burned in a past relationship and doesn’t want hurt again.  If any man dare to double cross her again they may end up with far worse then a  “design”.   Our leading male ( I say leading because there are a few in this book)  is Colby who is an ultra hot, successful, single dad who loves the women in his life fiercely.   These two certainly don’t seem like two that would mix,  but they do and boy do sparks fly…With a crazy few sputters in between.

I loved this book and every little thing about it.  I can’t wait to see what they bring us next however I do know is whatever it is, I am sure to love it.
