 This Rule Maker is a fun, light-hearted second chance romance between Zoey Reynolds and her client's brother, Ryder Covington. Unlike 
 The Rule Book 
 , this standalone novel was told in alternating POVs of the MCs. Plus, sexy timeeees! 
 Zoey and Ryder first met when Ryder's brother, Jason, hired her for an interior decorating project. There's spark between them, and their flirtation leads to an unforgettable romp in the sheets. Things end when Ryder leaves the day after without even saying goodbye. Zoey was hurt, but she'd forget him and move on. 
 Things were fine until Jason hired her again for a new project. Zoey knew she couldn't reject it, because she knew a client such as Jason Covington would be beneficial for their firm and for her career. This time, she'll follow the company rules: don't sleep with the client. Especially now since an injured Ryder is representing Jason. 
 She has to go through this project without strangling and jumping Ryder; not an easy feat when the guy's a smartass with a body wet dreams are made of. 
 I've fallen in love with Jennifer Blackwood's writing style in The Rule Book, and I'm happy to have found that in this one, too. She has charming characters with amazing personalities, and the narration, dialogue, and sexual tension were on point. There's a lot of foreplay and gradual build up between the characters that made it easy to feel attached to them. The story has a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, plus all of that sexual tension in between. 
 If you're looking for a light and fun second chance romance with a smart and sassy heroine, and a hot and charming hero, you might enjoy The Rule Maker. It certainly made me a happy, happy girl.
