Publisher's summary

He's the bad boy...but I'm the one breaking all the rules. I've always been the quintessential good girl. I don't just follow the rules - I write them. As an advice columnist, I'm always telling people how to not screw up their lives. So you'd think I'd know better than to bang some random guy in a bar bathroom. But nope. Apparently not.

Now, I've got even bigger problems, though. Because it turns out that wasn't just some random guy. It was Tyler Grant. Rich. Playboy. Devastatingly gorgeous. Oh, and the publisher of my new dating-advice book.

All my instincts are telling me to run like hell. It's what I'd advise anyone else to do. But nope. I've had a taste, and I'm hooked.

Now, I'm calling him at ungodly hours and showing up at his house drunk and begging for sex and tacos. In other words, breaking every rule in my own damn book.

Of course, you don't have to be an advice columnist to know a bad boy and a good girl are never going to work out. Someone's going to get their heart broken. And my guess? It isn't going to be him.

Contains mature themes.

Rebel Tyler + Straight laced Emma = Funny Antics

Tyler is the rebel child from an Uber rich family; Emma is the middle daughter of moderately well off florist shop owners. She is all about perfection and writes an advice column; he wants to have fun but daddy made him get a job...

Their romance is fun and funny. It does have a lot of public PDA that I am not sure someone as staight laced as Emma is portrayed would go for so quickly- esp the first encounter in a unlocked bathroom. That said, the story unfolds in a believable way and contains unfortunate events that could happen in reality (falling up stairs, getting walked in on in a semi-public place, learning your private place was not a storage room, etc). The least believable part was the morning show, but hey, it's fiction, and I say go with the flow in fiction.

As for the audio, the narration is top notch; you can feel the couple's chemistry in the narrator's voices. Their inflection paints vivid pictures and conveys emotion, which I find lacking in a lot of audio.

Tyler and Emma

An adorably sweet, endearing and cute romance. Tyler and Emma did not have an easy, especially because of all Emma's rules. Tyler is the exception to all the rules though. I adored this story. Narration was great!

Cute

The story was cute but there was way to much second hand embarrassment for me

Repeated public humiliation doesn’t work for me.

I don’t understand why Emma and Tyler have no control over themselves. I’m all for passionate, spontaneous and reckless… but there’s gotta be a balance. Like why couldn’t they just enjoy the gala instead of running off like idiots in the first 10 minutes of her being there? Why didn’t Tyler just immediately scoop her up and rush off stage, instead of them just standing there (with her dress still up) in silence with everyone staring at them? Then she had to limp with a sprained ankle to get off stage alone and humiliate while everyone just watched and she had some long internal monologue? Every single place they went to, they had to do something sexual. EVERY SINGLE PLACE. When did they even have time to fall in love? Other than one conversation about him missing his sister, Emma knew nothing about what Tyler was dealing with until dang near the end of the book. Emma never even talked to him about her childhood and why she had the need to be “perfect”. They just had sex and took dumb risks that repeatedly led to Emma being publicly humiliated. The live interview scene was so over the top cringe. It was ok when she started to have her epiphany but why did she have to become a sobbing mess? It just kept getting worse and in the end I didn’t even care about the romantic rescue, I was just screaming at Emma to either open her mouth and say something or to stop cursing on live TV. She barely cursed the whole book and suddenly when she’s on live TV she’s a sailor? They just annoyed me because they kept making the same mistakes over and over. A woman doesn’t have to become a complete mess to learn how to loosen up and have more fun.

Also… I HATE that sometimes it was unclear if the main character was having an internal monologue or if they were talking out loud. Why do the inner monologues have to drag on for so long? Like how long did Emma have to sit on live TV in awkward silence while she battled with herself internally after one simple question sent her spiraling.

Loved!

The book felt real and had some good depth. Falling in love is messy and unpredictable. It was fun to experience the struggle between Tyler and Emma as they grew and changed both separately and together.

Good read

It was easy to listen to. It gives hope repeatedly but also you are then left wondering to then gain hope again. But will it happen is the question

Kind of Wonderful

I went in very hesitate because I didn't love the last book, but somehow this one worked for me. It was fun and silly and I truly fell in love with these characters. I can't stress how much I loved Emma and Tyler... they were so delightful and charming. I think Emma had a much stronger presence in both books making it so easy to root for her even when she's "failing." While Tyler was just trying his best. I loved the premise so much, I wish we would of gotten one more Tyler POV towards the end, but Emma is definitely my fave.

Funny

Cheering for them. Not actually a surprise ending. It had me wondering about her sister Rory not being married or engaged 1st. Especially since Rory was in a relationship the longest
