Author
Meghan Quinn is a New York Times, #1 Amazon, and USA Today best selling author. She’s also a wife, an adoptive mother and a huge peanut butter lover. Meghan is known for her romantic comedies and contemporary romances that bring the heat and the humour. She’s the queen of slipping in the humour when you’re not expecting it.
Plot
He clicked “yes” on a dare. She bought a failing candy shop. Now they’re neighbours for the summer―and neither is ready for what comes next. Renley Gossage has one shot to prove she’s more than Cape Meril’s embarrassment. She needs to restore her favourite candy shop before the town writes her off like they did her father. No help, no shortcuts, and definitely no rich men wielding engagement rings and making things messy.
Theo Williams never planned on ending up in Cape Meril. A drunken game of truth or dare turned into a botched online engagement, and now he’s across the ocean, escaping his father’s control in a rental home next door to Renley. She’s practical, stubborn, and covered in paint. He’s posh, persistent, and willing to use a sander if it means earning her trust.
Between collapsing drywall, gossiping neighbours, and the chaotic schemes of Renley’s aunt, their forced proximity turns into something dangerously close to real. But Renley’s future depends on standing on her own two feet, and Theo’s past isn’t done with him yet. By the time the candy shop doors open, they’ll have to decide if this is just a summer fling―or the happily ever after neither of them saw coming.
My Review
When I was offered the ALC to Rules For The Summer I jumped at the chance to listen to it knowing it would be another hilarious rom-com from the talented and witty Meghan Quinn. Meghan’s book always put me in the best moods with the hilarious banter and actions of the characters. I mean come on, an aunt who wants to be a hobby horse influencer? No one but Meghan can come up with something like that. Something that really made this book so good was the side characters of Kitty and Rupert. They were so hilarious and the voices in the audiobooks made them even better. I had tears in m eyes during the mouse scene listening to Rupert screaming. As for the main characters I of course loved them because how could I not? Renley just wants to prove herself and stand on her own two feet. She’s such a hard working determined person and I loved to read about her working towards her dreams. Theo’s character starting off with the hilarious game of truth or dare really showed how funny and unserious his character was so it was nice to read about him finding a purpose and wanting more for his life. Renley and Theo met in the weirdest and most hilarious ways and I loved every second of their journey together. This was another 5/5 star book from Meghan Quinn and I recommend it to anyone who likes opposites attract, forced proximity, neighbours to lovers romances.
And that’s the end of my Rules For The Summer by Meghan Quinn book review. If you read this book let me know in the comments and if you loved it as much as I did. If you’re looking for other books to read check out these reviews: Face Off, Not That Kind Of Proposal, and Love Song.
