If you love hilarious workplace chaos, swoony second chances, and a rulebook that definitely gets broken⌠youâll want to grab The Rule Book ASAP.

Nora Mackenzie is smart, confident, and not here for dramaâespecially not the kind that comes with working for Derek Pender, a famous (and still ridiculously hot) football star… who also happens to be her first real love from college.
There are rules in place to keep things professional:
â No touching
â No flirting
â No talking about the past
…but Derek is making Nora’s life awful as his agent. And sheâs not about to back down.
Things really spiral after a surprise work trip to Las Vegas, one unexpected night, andâoopsâthey wake up married. So much for the rules.
This book is seriously SO funny and romantic. The chemistry between Nora and Derek is amazing, the banter is quick and adorable, and the dual POV lets you see both of them totally falling (again)(and freaking out) in real time. I loved watching them wrestle with old feelings, pretend to be cool, and slowly realize they still careâmaybe even more than before.
đ Recommended for ages 14â15+ for a little mature language, a few steamy moments, and some flirty tensionâbut it stays mostly cute.
â My rating: 5/5 stars. The plot is fun, the characters are lovable, and the vibes are everything. I wouldnât change a single thing.
đ If you like dual perspectives, funny twists, fake marriage, and swoon-worthy second chancesâthis book delivers. Similar authors: Hannah Grace (Icebreaker), Grace Reilly (First Down, Beyond the Play series), Becka Mack (Consider Me)
