Title: The Rules of Dating
Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 19, 2022
It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends.
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 love the writing duo of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. This story was a different one and I am still not sure how to process when I say different.
Billie has just come off a bad relationship when in walks Colby, into her tattoo parlor, at an inopportune time. Colby also happens to be one of the four owners of the building. Their attraction is fast and palpable but Billie is hesitant to start something new. So they start a series of “un-dates” and get to really know one another. And as they get closer and closer, a huge obstacle comes barreling their way.
Billie is strong and fiercely independent, creating her own “family” with those that are close with her. I found her to be a bit frustrating at times with her pushback and tit for tat mentality, but overall she was genuine and heartfelt in all matters. Colby is steadfast and enduring. He has been placed in an impossible position and trying to do his absolute best. Their friends, collectively, are great and supportive and add that extra layer to the overall story. I really can’t wait to read Holden’s story next.
So can Billie and Colby breakdown their barriers and be together? You’ll have to one-click to find out.
