This was a highly sexy and addicting second installment in the Rules of Engagement series. Lex and Milla were absolutely amazing. They were absolutely perfect together.

While this novel is a standalone I would highly recommend that you read book 1 (the Rule Maker) as this story deals with the after effects and culmination of book 1. While Milla deals with the painful aftermath of her past, her dedicated husband of ten years Lex has to reclaim his wife and prove to her that they belong to each other. I continue to love this series and can't wait for the third book in this series.

I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book.

Sienna Snow continues her Rules of Engagement series with another hot installment, Rule Master. We were introduced to Milla and Lex as Arya’s best friend/business partner and her hot attorney and second in command. It was revealed that the two were in fact married to the surprise of everyone who knew them.

As a prominent Italian heiress with an impossible mother, Milla has spent the last decade acting like the wild, rebellious party girl. No one knew that in reality she was happily married to the man of her dreams. Not even those closest to her has a clue that Lex was in fact her mysterious Dom as well. What an unusual twist on the secret relationship theme.

The story opens with Milla licking the wounds of her abduction in Rule Breaker secreted away in Italy. She’s not able to deal with anything, especially not Lex. She, like so many romance heroines, believes she must give up Lex because she’s not good for him and he deserves better. Though she knows no man will ever capture her heart again, she is willing to give up the love of her life to ensure she never hurts him again.

Lex is not

privy to or at all involved in her decision making process and is clueless as to what is going on with Milla. He too knows that she is the only woman he will ever love though and is anxious to get her back. He doesn’t see her as a danger to his long term happiness except if she never returns.

The two broke my heart well into the novel. They can’t fight their attraction but they can’t get their relationship back on track. I wanted to smack their heads together and wake them up. They keep having amazing sex and their time together is so special but Milla still has one foot out the door and Lex can’t help but become angry. All of which kept me turning the pages to find out how they would every recover.

As if the couple’s relationship problems weren’t enough, Milla must still deal with her hateful mother, being CFO of two huge conglomerates and the evil man who hasn’t given up hunting her after she was rescued from his clutches in the last novel. The suspense in this book existed on several levels and kept everyone involved in mortal danger.

Snow does a very good job creating the love story, writing sizzling sex and building tension in so many ways the reader can’t imagine how the characters will make it through to their happily ever after. This book has everything a reader could ask for.

I have to say that I love this series! Rule Master is heartbreaking good. We read about Mil's life after her abduction from book one. It changed her and she is broken. She leaves and goes home to mourn and tries to understand what happened to her. She also abandoned everyone that she loves. Then does something that she thought was best for Lex. And not only were her friends kind of pissed about it, I was too.

Lex in the first book did not seem in control as he is in Rule Master. I originally thought that he was a push over. Was I wrong! He is dominant, controlling, and a protector. He understands not to push the limits when it comes to the love of his life, Mil.

Mil has kept a HUGE secret for 10 years. I did not see that coming. She feels her actions in the past have hurt her loved ones. She only wanted to get her mother to see her. To love and approve her. When she saw that was a lost cause, she realized that what she held as a secret was really for nothing.

Then danger comes again. Relationships shatter, and I want to reach out to Mil. She has gone through so much, I wept with her. Rule Master takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride. This book shows you passion and what love is suppose to be, unselfish. I can not wait until the next book in these series comes out to continue this journey. I love that we have all these alpha males, but we also have strong woman that will not back down!!! Cheers to Sienna Snow for another great book <3
