Loved this book, the story of Willa and Grady.

Willa has a 2 date rule, and Grady is detemined to break it and get what he wants - a chance with Willa.

Willa likes to plan everything, a result of how she grew up. Grady doesn't plan anything, and doesn't like to think about the future. Opposites attract, but are they just too different?

Hoping this will be a sseries and that Kayla and Aislin get their own books too!

If you are looking for a quick , fluffy, rom-com, this one is not for your. But, if you are looking for a romance with depth that at times is heartbreaking but also heartwarming, this one is definitely the one for you.
Willa Frank is a web designer. To say that her childhood was not easy, is an understatement. With no mother and an alcoholic father, she never knew if she would have the bare necessities in life.
This has made her a worrier and a workaholic. She doesn’t want a relationships and has a two date rule. Meaning, she doesn’t date anyone more than twice.
Then she meets smoke jumper, Grady Billman. A man fascinated by her, and one that lives one day at a time, without plans for the future.
In order to spend time with her, he decides to create non-dates.
But what happens when feelings develop between these two seemingly opposites? Can they help each other overcome their obstacles, or are they so set in their ways, that their HEA is nowhere to be seen?
The plot was engaging, the characters perfect in their imperfections, and the secondary characters were ones you would hope had their own stories in the future.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Entangled Amara. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

What do you get when a woman with a "2-date max" rule meets smokin hot smoke jumper was avoids relationships like a dry forest avoids lit matches?

The answer: Total hilarity! And obviously another Tawna Fenkse rom-com.

Fenske introduces us to Willa and Grady, who couldn't be more opposite if they tried. Willa is an only child to a single dad and owns her own website branding company out of her home; Grady comes from a massive family and jumps out of planes into wild fires. She plans and he... doesn't! But when it comes time to have the second date and shake hands, neither are ready to say "See ya." Instead they find clever ways to hang on and hang out, even as the differences pile on. Will they drown in those differences? Or be able to pull each out from them?

Every time I read another Tawna Fenkse rom-com, I know I'm going to laugh until I pee, even as I fall in love with the characters. Throw in some fun sexy times, and you can't lose!

I love that Willa is fun even though she's incredibly pragmatic; I also love that Grady funny even though his job is incredibly serious. You can tell Fenske took her time to research the character of Grady and his profession as a smoke jumper, making it realistic without being notes-heavy. I, myself, appreciate when the author takes care to know the tiny details that they don't necessarily write down in the story.

If you want a fast-paced, fun and funny read--full of double entendre and quirky mishaps--ending with a heated happily ever after, DEFINITELY grab a copy of The Two-Date Rule.

Willia and Grady make for an interesting couple one's cheap the others a spender. However this isn't a typical romance theres depth to it and it pulls you in making you think about the character what makes them each who they are. I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next one.
*************I received an ARC for my honest review***************

HOT, HOT HOT! Grady and Willa hit the mark on a great love story. ❤️ their definition of a non date were hilarious. As always Tawna has created a great, funny, hot, page turner. I received this arc for an honest review.

Willa doesn’t want anything distracting her from her work, and so has a rule, she doesn’t date anyone more than twice. For Grady that’s perfect since his job as a smokejumper is not really conducive to relationships. The connection they feel after the very first date, has them both finding reasons to meet and calling them non dates, so that they don’t have the last second date But when these non dates result in Willa losing 2 important contracts, she decides she needs to focus on her business. But is breaking off the answer when they both want to be together?
I enjoyed reading this book. The ways Grady kept coming up with workarounds to a date actually being a non date had me smiling. This book has some light funny moments and a few heavier topics like drinking problems and mental illness as well. A complete read from my perspective. I also liked the secondary characters, Willas two best friends and Gradys friend Tony, and I hope they also get their books.

*I received a copy of The Two-Date Rule from Entangled Publishing and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review.**

The Two-Date Rule by Tawna Fenske is fantastic book and I hope there will be more because Kayla and Aislin need their own stories as well as some of the hot smoke jumpers that Grady works with. I loved Grady and Willa's story so much!

Willa Frank grew up with no money because her dad had trouble keeping a job due to his drinking. So when she built her web design business vowing to never be penniless again. When her two BFF, Kayla and Aislin convince her to go to a male stripper show, she never expects to literally bump into a hot smoke jumper. Now Grady will test her Two-Date rule with every "no-date" they go on until Willa's loses two big contract she'll have to decide if their love will be everlasting or will she let it go.

Grady Billman can't believe his luck when he meets Willa and her friends so asking her to dinner will gives him determination to create several ways to take her out making sure they don't get to that second date rule she has. He's "smack dab in the middle of ten kids and a smoke jumper like his brothers and father he knows that his job could be a a game changer once they start getting to know each other he discovers her fears and goals he's determined that she's the one he wants, now to convince her of this.

I first heard about Tawna Fenske in August of 2015 when her book "About That Fling" was featured as a "Kindle First." I have fallen in love with the way that she tells a story. Her characters are fun, and even ones you may not like at first tend to grow on you. Since then, I have read anything that I have found by Tawna.

It was a treat to get to know completely new characters. I know that this book is considered “romantic comedy” but I think that it had a bit more serious that comedic aspects. At the same time, that’s not a bad thing. I believe this is one of the “heaviest” books from Tawna that I have read, and I believe she did a really good job with the subject matter of the book.

Not to give too much away, but I really connected with the character of Willa. I tend to be the person who my family goes to when they financial issues. Because of that, I try to have put money aside for them when they need…mostly at the expense of my husband and I being able to enjoy ourselves (because I’m working overtime making sure that our bills are paid in addition to saving money for others). This book actually helped me put into perspective that I need to put us first, and not always be the “go to” person for people that I can’t “go to” if I need help.

All in all, I really enjoyed this book. Although this is a one-off book, I would really like to know more about Grady’s family and her friends also.

It was quite easy to fall in love with Willa and Grady and to root for them both. Grady's bogus workarounds for circumventing Willa's two-date rule made me smile - especially when Willa didn't put up all that much of a fight. :)

I also adored the supporting cast, Willa's and Grady's friends and family - especially Grady's parents - and I loved how Kayla and Aislin always had Willa's back, even if that included some tough love.

While the story exhibits Tawna Fenske's trademark humor and had me grinning or snort-laughing quite often, it is also dealing with more serious issues like substance abuse or mental illness. My heart broke for Willa (I never thought a game of Monopoly would bring me to tears, but there you have it...), and it was gratifying to see her take on her challenges.

I loved how it all came together in the end, and I'm looking forward to reading more in the series (I'm looking at you, Kayla!).

5/5 heart-melting stars

Willa Frank is a woman of simple means, growing up the way she did taught her to not let material things hold too much weight in her life. She always made do with what she had, and somewhere along the line it made her a little more frugal than most, and she is more than okay with that. It also taught her to work hard for the things she wanted, and she always dreamed of owning her own business. Now that she has it she doesn't plan on letting anything, or anyone, derail her dream... which means no distractions and rules to keep herself on task.

But an unexpected interaction with a handsome smokejumper spawns a few dates, and suddenly she starts to question her two date rule!

Nothing says pure entertainment quite like a determined woman with strict rules about love and a gorgeous smokejumper doing all he can to tempt her to reexamine her stance... The Two-Date Rule was absolute literary magic! With Willa having her two-date rule and Grady with his no-attachments policy you would think they would have an easy time avoiding getting attached, but their rules were no match for love. Watching these two love birds try to skate around their feelings and keep things in the friendly zone was quite entertaining, their interactions spawned many laughs and swoons. I absolutely adored these two, their perfectly penned love connection delighted on all fronts! Highly recommend!!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, via NetGalley request, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.

Another winner! This book is sweet, sexy, and funny. I loved Willa and Grady and loved their story. Grady is a smoke jumper who plans to smoke jump forever, while Willa is a bit of a control freak who plans everything down to the last detail. When they first meet, Willa thinks he's a stripper, but, since she won't date anyone more than twice, she's game. Grady doesn't want a relationship, or to plan for the future, but somehow Willa slipped into his heart.

This is a delightful story that I read in one sitting because I just couldn't put it down. I loved the way Grady and Willa came together and how they tried to fit their broken parts together to find something new and better.

This one is a must read for fans of the genre. Put this one at the top of your TBR. The author is on my must read authors' list.
