Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this book. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is the first Credence book I have read although it looks like it’s the third in the series. I will have to go back and read the others because I really enjoyed this one. I’m not usually into age gap romance but it was well done in this romance between Austin and Bea.

The chemistry between the two is palpable and the romantic tension and build up between the two is great.

The obstacles that they both face to be with each other, especially Bea, are believable and heart wrenching.

Well written and a quick read too.

Thank you @tlcbooktours @entangled_publishing and @amyandrewsbooks for a spot on tour and a gifted copy.

Bea Archer is fed up! She’s been passed up for promotions, working long hours, wearing shoes that hurt and eating nothing but lettuce leaves. Literally throwing a dart at a map, she heads out of L.A. to a small town in Colorado to start fresh.


Bea is set on breaking all the rules, living free from all the years of being constrained by the corporate world. So she now wearing sweats, no bra, and eating the world’s best pie at her new favorite diner.

But it’s a young local law officer who has Bea’s head spinning. The thing is, Bea came to nowheresville, Colorado with a bad taste in her mouth for men, and now Officer Austin Cooper is serving her pie off his ripped abs! But he’s young, and Bea still needs to decide about her future, so falling in love is against the rules. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘴?

Holy handcuffs y’all, this was a fun one! I loved Bea’s attitude and her confidence. Although this is an age-gap romance- only about ten years, I think, I liked that Austin was mature enough to handle Bea and her crises.
Super Sexy, flirty and great characters - I closed the book craving… pie. 😉

Whereas the last was a difficult match, this one was a MATCH ON FIRE! Okay, so I enjoyed the story, from Bea's middle-age meltdown caused partially by a backwards company that couldn't see what they had in front of them before it all came tumbling down to her new found discovery of designer day-of-the-week panties, and truly being herself. The thing is, she didn't even know herself and was letting others dictate that for her, so this time of self discovery, as crazy, wild, and over the top (or topless....WARNING: SMEXY TIMES aplenty!) as it gets, was so worth it! She learns that she doesn't have to have it all together all the time, wearing sweats and no bra can be a freeing experience, binge watching Supernatural is a VERY good reason to cancel plans, a good slice of pie or ice cream is not the end of her outer beauty, and love can come at pretty much any age, when given the chance.

Honestly, I think you'll really like her, and Austin, well, what's not to like?! Oh, let's not forget Princess because she is a BOSS. You'll see what I mean when you read it. It's out this coming Tuesday, so make your list of rule breaking activities you've ALWAYS wanted to do, and be prepared to compare notes! Just know that dibs have already been called on Austin, okay? 😉

I loved everything about this book. From beginning to end, it was perfect and so cleverly written. I’ve already recommended this book to all of my friends and I can’t wait to read more from this author

Oh how I just loved this one!! It was so fun and I loved the humor and sassy aspects of it. I enjoyed watching Bea grow throughout this one. Overall, this is a super fun, from different worlds, age-gap romance. I can't wait to read more from Amy Andrews.

After being passed on yet again for a promotion, Bea decides she's done with the rat race and leaves it all for small town Colorado. She's decided to be a rule breaker and not care about anything, which leads to her eating ice cream outside the local diner for breakfast wearing bunny slippers. When someone calls the cops on her, she meets Austin, a younger police officer who decides to help her break all the rules...

I think deep inside we all have a little Bea in us. This is a funny romance. I love Bea and Austin together. This has a small town romance, age gap and a little bit of finding yourself.

Thank you Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Well, the novel was entertaining and predictable. I found the beginning to be slow but then it perked my interest. The author handled the situations in a very different manner. It was a very pleasant read and a very nice way to pass some time.

Small town romance, a woman who knows what she wants and a man who has just discovered that what he needs will change his life forever. Age doesn't matter and when the town deputy meets the new resident the town will be talking and the shenaningans will begin.

Amy Andrews writes fun, flirty, and sexy small town perfectly. Take a risk, listen to your inner voice and follow your dreams. Age is a number, ideas are meant to be shared and dreams chased. The romance is sexy, sweet and perfectly spiced.

Are you a rule breaker? Fall in love and read this today.

Breaking all the Rules by Amy Andrews started off strong and hilarious funny but then everything became sexualised it was as if Nigella Lawson was reading a book. I’m far from being a prude but I wasn’t liking the communication between Bea and Austin. I’m definitely in the minority of not liking this book so check out the higher rating stars.

Thank you Entangled Publishing and Netgalley for the digital copy of Breaking All The Rules for reviewing purposes.

*due to the low rating I won’t post my review to social media.

Something about this just didn’t sit well with me. The sex scenes made me cringe. Bea seemed pretty gross to be honest, walking around in dirty stained clothes and having not showered in days. For sure I can see why someone immediately thought that was hot…

Just not for me I guess.

Breaking All The Rules is simply a complete misfire. Tonally jarring and incoherent with its plot make breaking all the rules an immediate skip.

“Breaking All the Rules” by Amy Andrews tells the story of Beatrice (Bea) Archer and Officer Austin Cooper. Bea has lived her life by the book but decides to move to a small-town for a fresh rebellious start. When a cop is called to assist with her immoral behaviour, Bea realizes the only thing missing from her rebellious new lifestyle is a little fun time with a partner. Cooper agrees and has no problem breaking the rules, especially regarding this kind of game. As the two have a fling, Bea realizes that playing with fire leads to consequences.

This book was amazing!!! I really appreciated the themes mentioned in the story, and I love how Bea was written - she makes me want to start somewhere fresh! The banter was good, and if you’re interested in a small-town romance where “he falls first,” this book is for you!

I loved how unique this story was. I was absolutely here for the reverse age gap. I loved Austin and Bea and how they each fought for their own ages and against typical stereotypes of those ages. Definitely one to put on your TBR!

Really enjoyed this sweetly sexy and action-packed adventure filled with witty and engaging charters, fun dialog, heart racing twists and undeniable and exciting passion. A highly entertaining read from beginning to end.

This book by Amy Andrews is funny, sassy and a great read!
Bea has escaped from her less than happy life, she doesn’t care what other people think, she needs to heal in Credence!
I love the spicy writing style with attitude and the idea that a hurt, sad woman can be helped by a hunky man in uniform!
Bea thinks that time spent drinking, binge eating and watching television is going to solve her problems, along with apple pie!
Hunky deputy Austin slowly works on showing Bea that a different life may be just what she needs! Who knew that Bea would allow herself to meet new people, enjoy line dancing and especially, open her heart!

Thank you to the publisher, NetGalley and the wonderful Amy Andrews for the opportunity to read this book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

First, the cover sold me from the get-go. I loved the cover of a woman who has just given the last of her F*@%$ and has decided to live in her own skin and do what makes her happy.

Honestly I wish i could be more like Bea and her no nonsense rebirth in Colorado. Also.... I think I want a cowboy now and want to read more cowboy romance.

This book captured me from the start and I loved that we begin in CO and get a backstory of what led her there in snips and memories. Also, where can I get Annie's pies?

I laughed and swooned and loved this character!

Run, don't walk, and go read this one!

First time reading this author. I liked the cranky feisty female main character. I admit I had a hard time getting into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. Thanks NetGalley for the advanced copy. #NetGalley #BreakingAlltheRules

“And yep, there it was. Holy Adonis, Batman.
V for victory. V for vice.
V for va-va-voom.”

Beatrice Archer has always done everything she’s supposed to. She has worked her ass off, ignored her non-existent personal life, and kept her mouth shut. Now she’s over it. The rat race, respectability…the underwire bras. She’s taking her life back. Starting with moving to Nowhere, Colorado to live life on her own terms.

Now Bea gives exactly zero forks. Beer for breakfast. Sugar for everything else. Baggy sweats and soft cotton undies FTW. Then a much younger and delightfully attractive cop is called to deal with her flagrant disregard for appropriate clothing outside the local diner (some folks just don’t appreciate bunny slippers) and Bea realizes there’s something missing from her life…and he might be the guy to help her out.

When it comes to breaking rules, Officer Austin Cooper is surprisingly eager to assist. He’s charming, a little bit cowboy, and a whole lot sexy. But Bea’s about to discover that breaking the rules has consequences.

Jilted woman moves to small town and meets hot cop. I will just never tire of this type of story. I legit laughed out loud throughout this whole book! Beatrice is such a hoot and Austin is the legit perfect man. Young. Honorable. Hot. Wears a uniform. Lives on a ranch. Brings his girl pie. He single handedly helps Bea heal her heart and soul, and watching her unapologetically go after what she wants was so refreshing!

Thank you to @netgalley, @tlcbooktours, @entangled_publishing and @amyandrewsbooks for the #gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute book. I enjoyed reading it and learning about the characters. It was fun, light, and enjoyable.

I seriously love this author and the town of Credence! I've also developed an obsession with Thursday panties, the word ma'am, and one eyed scruffy cats!. This story had all the feels for me, it was funny, tons of hot steamy scenes, loads of great characters, and a couple that you just absolutely had a connection with. Loved Bea and Austin, I mean seriously, a hot small town cop and an ex advertising exec that hit her breaking point and landed in the small town of Credence. Had me laughing from the get go (pokey and melted ice cream, lol!), truly a very entertaining and well written book. Can't wait for the next one!
