Rules of Rebound by Nina Crespo a fast paced five-star read. This is number two in the Breakup Bash series, but I didn’t think I missed anything not reading number one first, however I will be going back to pick it up as I adored this one!! Rome Collier is great, he is such a deep man, he has his scars both on the inside and out, but he is still a strong man. Natalie needs the strength of Rome even if she doesn’t want to admit it. This is a great story and Nina Crespo is definitely going to be one of those authors that you need in your life.

I want to be Natalie!!!

Natalie is a very strong woman who is coming out of a really bad situation. She is strong, focused, driven and for one night just wanting to let her hair down and forget about her life. This is where she meet Rome. Rome was just suppose to be a delicious distraction but it turned into more. I loved that she owned herself and took what she wanted. The confidence she had was amazing to read.

Rome is a man who is just coasting in life. His last job made him question himself and what he wants out of life. In the mean time, he is just working and getting by. Until one night when he meets a woman who is unlike anyone he has met before. She makes him start to question his path and what he wants out of life.

Reading about these two navigating the beginning of a relationship and testing the waters to see if a rebound could become forever.

I loved Rome and Natalie's love story. I felt bad that Rome couldn't see himself as the hero that he is.
I will be asking all my friends to read, Rules of a Rebound, just so we can talk about it.

2.5 stars
I am gonna be honest, I didn't love this book. I never really felt any connection for Natalie and Rome. At times, I found Natalie annoying.

Natalie and Rome meet when he is bartending at an event for the newly single that she is attending after her divorce. They have an instant connection but Natalie doesn’t want to rush into anything after getting out of her marriage. When Natalie faces a difficult situation Rome steps in to help and they start spending more and more time together. This book was a nice distraction after a busy day. Rome was the type of genuinely nice hero that you wish you could meet in real life. The conflict between the two of them seemed a bit forced to me as if the author decided the story needed more drama and this was all she could come up with.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Rules of a Rebound by Nina Crespo is quick, fun, sexy and sweet romance. Natalie and Roman have the most intense and perfect chemistry from the first second they meet. You are rooting for them the entire time because they are just perfect for each other. Roman was so sweet and caring. Natalie has been hurt but you could see she was still hopeful in finding her soulmate. The dialogue was on point and I never found the story lacking in any way, there was a bit of drama, some self-discovery and some steamy scenes. I haven’t read the other books in the Breakup Bash series but I can promise I will be reading them soon. This book releases on August 12, 2019.
I received an ARC from #netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This series is getting better with each book! I loved Natalie and Rome. She's slightly in distress after they meet, but she also holds her own and does what she needs to do. He wants to protect her, while also dealing with his own insecurities. Together, they show each other what love really is!
