Playing by Her Rules

Tanner rough tumble rugby guy, against petite dainty Tilly the reporter. How six articles can end up reuniting said couple. I liked the push and pull of the story.

This is one of the best contemporary romances I’ve read in a long while. Lately, I’ve found myself skimming them out of boredom. But this one kept me tuned it. I laughed at the tweeting and hashtag scenes. And I liked how both MC evolved and learned and weren’t really stereotypical male/female leads in many ways. Just really enjoyed it.

Not impressed. It dragged in several places and chapters and I was able to put it down several times.

Matilda and Tanner's chemistry is off the charts. I loved Tilly's snarky wit and her quick come backs as well as her vulnerable side that was heartbreaking at times.

Matilda is a journalist and currently writes a fashion column for a magazine. This isn't what she envisioned her journalistic career to be. When the magazine decides they want to write a story on Tanner Stone, a rugby player who happens to be her ex, she cringes at the thought of him being propped up as a saint. This, of course, makes her editor assign the six-article series to her. Tanner Stone is the captain of his professional rugby team, the Sydney Smoke. He doesn't want to do the article but he's happy to see Tilly again after eight years of being apart. He's determined to win her back and make up for the mistakes of the past. I love second chance romances but there was something about this one that was missing something. I didn't see how forgiveness could come as quickly as it did. I did really like this book, from the Twitter updates to the back and forth between Tanner and Tilly. I am looking forward to the continuation of this series. *I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.*

Playing By Her Rules is a second chance love that had me happy and sad at the same time. I'm sad that they had to waste 8 years. The author did such a good job of the chemistry between these two. The characters completely sucked me in, maybe a little too much because I had a hard time forgiving Tanner as much as Tilly did. Good thing he is such a great guy! Overall, great story, great characters and I would love to read more from Amy Andrews. ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
