The Rule Book Jennifer Blackwood 9781682811818 Books

When I first started this book, I thought I was really going to enjoy it. But, the characters never developed and in fact, got more annoying as the book progressed. I'm not sure how they fell in love with each other - I couldn't tell that either one had much of a personality. The woman started off kind of sassy and quickly moved into clingy, mopey, and dopey. The man alternated between no personality and a jerk. The only thing I could tell she loved about him were his tattoo sleeves. I liked the dog more than either of the main characters.

The Rule Book Jennifer Blackwood 9781682811818 Books Reviews

The Rule Book was a sweet, funny, contemporary romance for those that are looking for a love story without a whole lot of sex. Any physical contact was fade to black and there wasn’t a whole lot of dirty talk, making this a slightly spicy read. The characters were endearing, with the hero very OCD about his rules and the heroine constantly ready to break them. The relationship develops like a slow burn, which makes the book move a little slowly throughout, but there is not shortage of laughs. This first installment is told though Lainey’s, the heroine’s point of view, though the author hinted at the end of the book that the first two chapters of Brogan’s (the hero) POV are available to newsletter subscribers, that are likely to be a whole lot of fun.

On a side note, I loved that this was set in the PNW, especially by an author from the area. Voodoo Doughnuts is worth the drive from SEA to PDX and the heroine is a Beaver Believer (#DucksSuck). Plus I’ll add that it’s not just transplants that use umbrellas, you can spot a tourist a mile away with one too. ;)
This is my first Jennifer Blackwood book, and wow, what a hoot! She’s found a new fan in me.

Lainey Taylor is one step closer to reaching her dream job. Being second assistant to Starr Media’s CEO is giving her the chance to finally work on something she knows and loves, and with a mom depending on her, she’ll do her best to last for more than a week.

She has to read and take note of the extensive company rule book, avoid pissing off the first assistant, Jackson, and impress the boss, Brogan Starr, whom she’s never met. But in the span of a week, not only has she violated rules in the rule book, she called the big boss the Antichrist. Right in his face.

She’s waiting to get kicked out, dragged out by security and blacklisted from all media companies in the west coast, but for some reason, it never happens. Instead, things start to look up for her as she finally makes friends, gets more projects, and lasts more than the last two second assistants did. The first assistant is still an ass, but at least Brogan isn’t as bad as Jackson told her.

Brogan is nothing like the antichrist. He’s loved by the employees, has tattooed forearms and the most adorable dimples to lust over, and looks amazing in his well-fitted suits. And the best thing about Brogan is he’s actually nice. Nice. It’s hard not to have a crush on someone like that, even if her brain is telling her how wrong it is to lust over her boss.

And now that she’s also officially her boss’s dog walker, she gets the chance to spend more time with Brogan and his slobbery dog, Bruce. It is then she finds out that her crush isn’t as unrequited as she thought.

Lainey is hilarious! There were a lot of secondhand embarrassment-induced bed-rolling (I cringed so hard… mainly because the things the heroine did were things I’ve unfortunately done as well), but I adore her! Her few blunders aside, she’s a capable employee who she knows what she wants and deserves. She’s relatable in her awkwardness and desires. I couldn’t stop laughing at her thoughts!

And Brogan! Dear Brogan. In most office romances I’ve read, the big boss is often the typical alpha male I lust over. But Brogan’s your boy next door, thoughtful, sweet, and nice. He has trust issues and made those rules to make sure his company doesn’t become vulnerable, but otherwise, he’s pretty laid back. And I love it! It’s nice to have someone who’s not all “I own you” to the heroine.

As much as I enjoyed this book, there were a few things that kept me from giving this five stars. I agree with Katerina that some storylines were under-developed or abrupt, especially the one about Brogan’s father. And I was expecting more hot and heavy moments with the MCs. Those scenes were behind closed doors. I wanted to be invited in. Haha.

This was written in Lainey’s POV. I love, love, looove her voice because as I’ve said, she’s hilarious. There were a few times though that I wish we could have read what Brogan thought.

I also wanted Brogan to grovel more in a certain incident, especially since I think what he did entailed more than just groveling.

Other than that, I really enjoyed the book and would recommend this to anyone looking for a light, hilarious office romance with a lovable heroine and a refreshing hero.
4.5 Stars

I was browsing , looking for a lighter read when I came across The Rule Book... I snapped it up and it turned out to be a bit of quirky fun... exactly what I needed! I really enjoyed reading about Lainey and seeing her squirm due to her foot-in-mouth problem! She quite often spoke before she had thought through what she was going to say. She had a heart of gold too, getting a well paid job so she could support her mother through a difficult time. But it was the sparks and chemistry between Lainey and her boss that had me glued to the book!

Lainey started a brand new job at Starr Media as second assistant to the CEO Brogan Starr. It was difficult for her at first as the first assistant, Jackson, made her life hell, feeding her false information or no information at all. One thing he told her specifically was that Brogan Starr was the antichrist. What she did with that piece of information was hilarious! There was even the employee hand book for working at the company… it appeared that her boss was a control freak.

When Lainey and Brogan officially met was an interesting encounter, I tell you! Lainey slowly wormed her way into Brogan’s personal life by doing tasks that Jackson forced her to do. Walking Brogan's dog/horse Bruce was a challenge all in its own. I loved how she never held back and said whatever she was thinking! Brogan liked that about her too, knowing she was honest and I could see his control was slipping when it came to Lainey. These two had serious sexual tension and I knew it wouldn’t take long for lines to get blurred.

This is the second book I have read and enjoyed by Jennifer Blackwood. She has a knack of entwining humour into her stories, even though this one had a heavier secondary storyline in regards to Lainey’s mother. I laughed and swooned, while watching the flirting and sexual tension grow between Lainey and Brogan. I was introduced to some interesting secondary characters as well; Lainey’s best friend Zoey was a hoot! I cannot wait to read more from this author!!
