I have enjoyed Sarah Adam's books and this one was no exception. I appreciate that there is not very much language. All of her books are clean and closed door. This one is not, but at the beginning of the book she tells you this and tells you what chapter to skip if you don't know to read it. Cute second chance love story and fake dating. The main character gets a job as her ex-boyfriend's sports agent. Fun story at had me laughing out loud at points. Thanks NetGalley for the advance copy from an autoread author of mine.

Another cute read by author Sarah Adams that featured so many of my favorite romance tropes.

It was witty and filled with all the banter, and characters you can’t help but pull for and love. A sports romance with second chances, and all the feels, I will gobble up everything that Sarah writes.

I both read and listened to the book for a completely immersive read, and love this style!

*many thanks to Dell Romance/PRH, prh audio and Netgalley for the gifted copy for review

Thank you Net Galley for providing this E-Arc for a honest review!
Think book has everything it could ever want it has a gut wrenching heartbreak that had me in tears and emotionally damage for a five minutes, but I kept reading cause I couldn't put this down. The banter between the couple is fantastic and their communication skills ~*top tier in my opinion*~. I love the representation of the struggle for women in sports management and they are put to a different standard. This made me feel like I could also be an agent for an NFL player. You also don't need to read The Cheat Sheet before this book, would highly recommend because that book is also 5/5.

I will literally read anything and everything Sarah Adams writes. I ended up downloading this on audio as well which was soooo good.

You know, I wasn’t expecting to like this book as much as I did. The writing was hilarious and witty, and I really liked all of the characters. The plot was actually cute, like it was very much a rom/com. I don’t think there was a single point where I lost interest or got bored.

And while I actually PREFER to have my romance books with spice, I appreciated the fact that the authors note contained a warning to readers on which chapter to avoid if they wanted this book to remain closed door.

I absolutely loved The Cheat Sheet, so getting back into this world was so fun! Sarah's writing is so happy and easy to read. I flew through this book and honestly had a good time while reading it. What knocks down a few stars for me is just that I couldn't connect with the characters. I really think a lot of people will absolutely love this book, it just didn't quite hit that mark for me.

Every single Sarah Adams book for me is five stars & this was no exception, I loved the Cheat Sheet so much & couldn’t wait to read something from the same world. This was perfect!

Love, love, love! Everything about this book is fantastic! The banter, the lovable cast of characters, and the storyline all make this one soar to the top of my list! This sports romance gave me Christina Lauren and Abby Jimenez vibes. I read it in one sitting! 5 stars!

My favorite Sarah Adams book so far! If you like a second chance romance, you’ll love this one. The Rule book was spicier than Adams’ other books, so keep that in mind for younger readers.

I would definitely recommend this book to any romance lovers out there. I give it 5 out of 5. The writing is great, the story line is engaging, and the plot has enough twists to keep you on your toes. I am great full for the advanced e-reader copy from Netgalley because I love Sara Adams books and I was excited to read the sequel to The Cheat Sheet.

This was cute and easy to read. I am not a huge sports book girl, but I liked this one. I am a fan of Sarah Adams though and she continues to write sweet books that are fun, quick reads.

Sarah Adams the WOMAN THAT YOU ARE. Anyone familiar with Sarah Adams' writing knows that they're in for a treat when she releases a new book. Some things you can expect: darling male leads, heroines that are utterly relatable, and banter that will have you saying, "how can I work this into a conversation with my crush?" The Rule Book had all of this and more, and I'm thrilled I was able to read it ahead of its release. Sports romances have always had a special place in my heart, and The Rule Book is definitely a new top 5 for me.

I love Sarah Adams storytelling! This was such an endearing story of two people who were clearly meant to be and still loved each other deeply, but had originally gotten together at the wrong time. I read this book in one sitting and it restarted a months long reading hiatus for me!

I liked this one better than the first, a second chance enemies/workplace sports romance? Sold. The banter was good, the way he still knew how to calm her/help her was cute and the way she only wanted him to succeed made me love them more

I liked the first one better.
The main female character in this one was way too over the top “quirky.”

Good grief, I love Sarah Adams!
I loved the Cheat Sheet so much, and while this one did come out quite a bit after, it certainly didn’t disappoint and thrust me into that universe once again, and almost seamlessly. This was such a cute second chance romance, and I was seriously desperate for these two to get their HEA.

I will say that the little bit of miscommunication that exists in the story did make me want to shake both MCs, but generally the story was full of sweet, sappy, swoony goodness.

I was given an ARC by NetGalley and Random House Publishing. All opinions are my own.

Sarah Adams is the queen of writing a quirky character without writing an annoying character. I've read a lot of books where the FMC is written to be quirky, but all I wanted to do was punch her in the throat. Not with Sarah Adams books. The quirky tendencies just endear the character to me.
The Rule Book was no different. This was a second chance romance full of humor, emotions, some depth, and a first for her, some spice!! I loved it from beginning to end. This is part of an interconnected series, but I haven't read The Cheat Sheet, and I didn't feel like I was missing anything.

A solid read from Sarah Adams. Great pacing and great character voice. Enjoyable and light but with slight depth, everything you like for a quick read.

Thank you Random House/Ballentine and Netgalley for sharing this ARC with me.

The Rule Book is a quick and fun read about college exes who are forced to work together, and decide to have a little fun/revenge with each other. If you enjoy sports (Football) rom-coms, you will probably enjoy this book.

This was my first Sarah Adams but it won’t be the last! I plan to now read everything from her! This book was so amazing! I loved every single page! The characters, the story line, the vibes! I know need an all the football romances as well! Derek and Nora a perfect match! I enjoyed Nora as a person and her work dynamic. Derek is her client but sparks fly between them! Especially when they wake up married in Vegas! They decided to stay that way for a short time because it’s good for PR. I really enjoyed the journey for them to fall. I can’t wait for the next book!
