Sunny Shelly’s Review: Break The Rules by Julia Jarrett

📚BREAK THE RULES by Julia Jarrett

🎤Narrated by Connor Crais & Angelina Rocca

I live by one simple rule: my daughter and baseball are all that matter. Until I get traded to the same team my unforgettable vacation fling works for.

I wanted Willow Lawson from the first second I saw her, and once we gave in to temptation on the sunny beaches of Hawaii, I knew I’d never forget her.

But our fling was meant to be just that. A hot vacation hookup and nothing more. After all, she’s got a rule too:

Never date a baseball player.

When my agent lands me the deal of a lifetime with the Vancouver Tridents, it seems like the perfect move.

Until Willow walks into the conference room on my first day, and I realize maybe this time, our rules were meant to be broken.

🎧 Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars 🎧

Julia Jarrett is a new-to-me author, and I absolutely loved Ronan and Willow’s story!

Break The Rules had me hooked from the moment Willow and Ronan met on an elevator at the airport. They were both en route to Hawaii — her for a much-needed solo vacation and him for his friend’s wedding — and fate kept putting them together: in the airport, at the resort, on the hiking trail… and when Willow is forced to vacate her room but here are no others at the hotel. Ronan offers to let her stay in his suite, and that is when they finally give in to the sizzling chemistry between them. A family emergency with his daughter forces Ronan to leave without saying goodbye, but fate brings them together several months later….

Because Willow knew exactly who Ronan was, and he’s now been traded to the baseball team she works for in media relations. Needless to say, Ronan is shocked to see his Cherry working for his new team. They both try to keep things completely professional between them, but the pull between them was just as strong in Vancouver as it had been in Hawaii. But as a female in a male-dominated industry, Willow has always been determined to not date a player…. Is she willing to break her rule for Ronan?

I also loved how dedicated a father Ronan was to Payton, and the sweet relationship that Willow developed with his little girl. Having been raised by a single dad herself, Willow kind of had a special place in her heart for them both, but she so easily fit into their family dynamic.

Connor Crais is a narrator I am very familiar with — I loved listening to his silky timbre. I am not as familiar with Angelina Rocca as a narrator, but I thought she did a fantastic job voicing Willow. It was so easy to get lost into this story listening to these two talented VO artists.

As with any series, there is a cast of supporting characters, and JJ dropped enough breadcrumbs about the rest of Ronan’s teammates to pique my interest. I will definitely be checking out more from the Vancouver Tridents series. I received an advanced listener copy and voluntarily left a review.
