Book Review – Breaking All The Rules By Amy Andrews

Sometimes you gotta toss your whole life into a burning dumpster to find what’s most important…

Beatrice Archer has always done everything she’s supposed to —worked her ass off, ignored her non-existent personal life, and kept her mouth shut. Now she’s over it. The rat race, respectability…the underwire bras. She’s taking her life back. Starting with moving to Nowhere, Colorado to live life on her own terms.

Now Bea gives exactly zero forks. Beer for breakfast. Sugar for everything else. Baggy sweats and soft cotton undies FTW. Then a much younger and delightfully attractive cop is called to deal with her flagrant disregard for appropriate clothing outside the local diner (some folks just don’t appreciate bunny slippers) and Bea realizes there’s something missing from her little decathlon of decadence…and he might be the guy to help her out.  

When it comes to breaking rules, Officer Austin Cooper is surprisingly eager to assist. He’s charming, a little bit cowboy, and a whole lot sexy. But Bea’s about to discover that breaking the rules has consequences. And all of the cherry pies in Colorado can’t save her from what’s coming…

My Review

Bea lost her chance for promotion yet again and she decided to quit. Being so disappointed with herself, she throws a dart on a world map, and it landed in Credence, Colorado. She spends her time doing nothing bingeing on eating and drinking, something she would not imagine herself to do before. Austin, the deputy police turned up after someone lodge a complaint on a “strange women”. Seeing her, Austin is attracted to her despite their age gap. He tried to help her on her list. Overtime, their relationship turned from being an acquaintance, to a friend and lover with benefit.

It is a flirty yet fun story about a couple with age gap between them in a small town. It is a story how one deemed success is just like Beatrice and Austin and life balance. Austin is my ultimate book boyfriend. I love for his patience with Bea and his confidence with himself and the way he handled the situation. He also bring out in Beatrice. Overall it is a fun read to me.
