GIVEAWAY and Review: Rules of Entanglement by Gina L Maxwell

**GIVEAWAY at bottom of post***


My Rating: Date Me Now! (4.5 stars) 

Genre: Contemporary Romance 

 Steam Level: Super Hot! 

Combine a Hawaii resort setting, tequila body shots, and one controlling MMA Fighter and you have one sexy read! This books opens up a like a great romantic comedy. When Vanessa’s best friend and Jackson’s sister comes down with and awful stomach virus and can’t make it to Hawaii the week before her wedding to plan it, Jackson and Vanessa are forced to pretend to be the engaged couple in order to appease a wedding planner who ‘refuses’ to work with anyone but the actual bride and groom. This leaves the two in a hilarious and awkward predicament. 

 I love that Vanessa wasn’t a quite push-over. She was sarcastic and outgoing and didn’t let anyone intimidate her. She had an extremely rough childhood and harbors some gut-wrenching secrets, but she doesn’t let it show and has tried her best to put her past behind her and move forward. She does this by creating a set of rules to live by to protect herself and her heart. And then she meets Jackson…who threatens to break every single rule she has… 

Jackson is an incredibly hot mix of contradictions: domineering and easy going, sweet and controlling, Fighter and Surfer. Need I say more???? 

 How I saw Jackson and Vanessa: 

 The chemistry between the two is full blast from the beginning, but I love the slow change in their feelings from dislike to lust to respect to eventually love throughout the story. The sarcastic banter between them had me cracking up multiple times. And boy can Gina Maxwell write a sex scene! WOW! I love stories that contain humor, hot sex, and a strong plot and this book delivered on all three.

There were a few parts that were a little slow; the book covers only one week in time so you get a lot of details. That being said some of the details were delicious! The story does have one of my pet peeves: Lack of communication or the withholding of information is one of the main causes of drama between the hero and heroine. However, I will say that it didn’t bother me nearly as much as usual and the author handled it well. 

 Favorite Quote: “She’d played a game with a dragon and ended up pinned beneath his massive body as he prepared to breathe fire.” 

Overall a fun, hot, quick read that I highly recommend! This was my first book by Gina Maxwell and it definitely won’t be my last!
