NHL Boston Hawks captain Austin Merrick used to be my boy-next-door. Now, he’s the man on my mind.
Our paths haven’t crossed in over a decade when I find myself back in Boston, desperate to save face in front of my ex-fiancé. With a devilish smirk and wicked blue eyes, Austin steps back into my life to be my plus one for a summer filled with weddings and events.
Should be fun and effortless, right?
Then why the need for rules?
And why do I crave his touch at the small of my back and wish for his kiss on a moonlit beach?
Suddenly, things begin to feel complicated, messy, and real. When I look at my first friend, I don’t see the boy-next-door, but the man I want to spend forever with.
If Austin learns the depth of my feelings, will he give us a real chance? Or are some rules better left unbroken?

The Rule Maker is a fabulous read by Gina Azzi. The fourth book in the Boston Hawks Hockey series, it's an awesome sports romance.
Oh dear lord, I love this series! And this one is a stellar addition to the fun.
Chloe and Austin were best friends as kids. After years apart, they are reunited when Chloe arrives back in town.
I love everything about this story. Ex best friends. Ex lovers. Their family are friends. And now fake dates, as Chloe needs a date to a mutual friend's wedding, as her cheating ex will be there.
The connection between the two is intense. And damn, the sex is hot!
Seeing the two get to know one another again is wonderful. I adore the way they have such a strong history together. Add in the easy way in which things evolve when they are fake dating, and I just can't get enough.
As for the obstacles and angst, it's all well done. Everything happens naturally and realistically; nothing is forced. Both are human and make mistakes that are fitting of their characters. One can always appreciate that.
But don't worry. True love wins in the end.
The writing is great. Written in alternating first person pov, the characters are easily brought to life. I'm not usually a fan of present tense, but this author writes it flawlessly, making it flow easily and without any awkward moments.
The Rule Maker is a delightful sports romance. Be sure to check out this Gina Azzi gem the next time you're in the mood for second chances, friends to lovers, fake romance, or hockey! You won't regret it.
