Some lines shouldn’t be crossed.
Some rules shouldn’t be broken.
June is one of them, and I know it.
Break the Rules, an all-new hilarious, brother’s best friend romance from Roxie Noir, is available now!
As a forest ranger, I believe in the simple life. I prefer cabins to apartments, trails to freeways, and trees to people. My life is orderly, predictable, and quiet.
Until it’s hit by a woman I never saw coming -- Hurricane June.
She’s fierce. She’s feisty. She has a laugh like the first day of spring, and she’s so pretty that I can’t breathe when I look at her. June will only be in town for a few months—just while job-hunting. She won’t last until winter, but how can I resist?
Except I have to. She’s my best, oldest, and most loyal friend’s baby sister.
Betraying him would be the worst thing I’ve ever done. Not betraying him might be the hardest.
Especially once we start working together on a secret project. All this spending time together, sneaking around at night, and lying to her brother about what we’re doing sure feels like more than friendship.
June might break my heart. Her brother might break my nose.
But I guess some things were made to be broken.

Excerpt
“One minute,” I tell him, and pull back from the window.
I shut it. I pull the curtains closed. I wonder what I’m doing and why on earth Levi has shown up beneath my bedroom window at twelve-thirty in the morning. I wish that the sight of him down there had made me feel differently, that I was indifferent and vaguely curious instead of suddenly buzzing and feeling like I’m being lifted aloft by several large birds.
I tiptoe down the stairs and through the living room, still wondering. I haven’t heard from him at all since we ate pizza in the back of his truck two nights ago, and I wish that didn’t bother me. I wish I thought less about him sitting there, as night fell, laughing and showing me his cell phone or telling me that he’s an alien.
I wish I thought less about him, period.
When I get outside, Levi’s leaning against his truck, his shoulder-length hair out of its usual knot.
I’m not sure I remember seeing him with his hair down before. He looks different. Relaxed. Like himself.
“I named the dog,” he says as I walk up to him.
I don’t know what I was expecting him to say, but that wasn’t it.
“You do know that the last time a man came to my window, I called my brother to get rid of him,” I say. “I’m sure he told you about that.”
“He certainly did,” Levi said. “And if I were in my right mind, it might have deterred me.”
“You’re in your wrong mind, then?” I ask, tilting my head slightly, keeping my voice down.
“You didn’t ask what I named the dog,” he says.
“Did you come here at twelve-thirty in the morning to tell me you named your dog?” I ask.
Levi smiles, holds out one hand. I step forward and take it, his skin warm and he enfolds my fingers in his.
“No,” he says. “I came here to say that I think you should come back to my place for a nightcap.”
“A nightcap?”
“Yes,” he says. “I’d like to take you home, fix you a drink, and seduce you, and I’d like to do it without thinking even once of your brother.”
My Thoughts <3
In Break the Rules, we have Levi Loveless' story and this mountain man is one of the best main men that I have read in a while. I have a soft spot for guys that are a little bit different and more so of the introverted type. He has always been a bit different, but let's just say he also has a HEALTHY amount of alpha. When he starts seeing his best friend's sister June a bit different, he is confused. June SEES him for him, but her brother is not just his best friend, but also a part of him and he doesn't see how he can risk that if June isn't even planning on staying in the state.
June and Levi are amazing characters, they are complete opposites but just seem to fit so well. The story moves at a fluid pace that is a combination of easy reading with a splash of anticipation of how everything is going to play out. All in all, I cannot recommend this book enough. It is sweet, OH SO HOT, and a wonderful story. You can also see the set up for future books in the series and I cannot wait for the next book. Great story Roxie!!!
PS: A HUGE thank you to Roxie Noir and Social Butterfly PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly! <3
