Book Review: Predicatable but enjoyable
Summary: 3 Stars

Abby Grant works in her father's design company in Lansing, Michigan and lives her private life by a set of strict rules. She doesn't form attachments to anyone and she never spends more than one night with a woman. There are plenty of women out there willing to share her company and she doesn't see any need to make a commitment. Her mother certainly didn't when she ran off and abandoned Abby and her father. A trip to Los Angeles to receive an award from a design association turns her life upside down. Erin Davis owns a lesbian club named ED's. She's just come out of a relationship that ended painfully and hasn't healed from that, but, when Abby walks into her club, there is an immediate attraction. Erin recognizes Abbey for a "player" though and doesn't want to have her heart broken again. Abby is completely floored by how she reacts to Erin and contemplates breaking her own rules. The stress of that relationship and the shock of meeting her mother and learning that she's been wrong about many things sends Abby fleeing back to Lansing. Both Abby and Erin try to forget each other and find relationships with other women, but they can't forget the sparks they felt between them. The final question is whether Abbey can break some of her rules in order to find a meaningful relationship with Erin.

Broken Rules is a predictable, but enjoyable story. It's well written and flows from point to point. The characters are fully developed and there is enough tension in the story to keep it interesting. There's nothing surprising or challenging in the story that makes it unique, but that shouldn't be considered a negative. It can be read in a couple of hours and will make a good way to pass an afternoon.

Summary of Broken Rules

Abby Grant?s perfectly scripted life is governed by a set of rules that keeps her working, playing, and perpetually unattached. By never sleeping with the same woman twice, she intends to ensure that no one will ever capture her heart.

Erin Davis, the owner of ED?s, a renowned lesbian club, is healing her recently broken heart after coming home one night and finding her best friend and girlfriend in bed together. But when the extremely attractive Abby Grant walks into her club, Erin can?t fight the sparks flying between them.

Motivated by her irrational emotional response to Erin, Abby breaks some of her protective rules. She panics at the thought of getting too close and ends up fleeing as fast and as far away as possible, unexpectedly ending up in the loving arms of a beautiful and talented actress.

Caught between who she was and who she wants to be, Abby is too scared to move forward and unable to go back?until she finally realizes that perhaps some rules are meant to be broken.
