The Rules According to Gracie by Stefanie London – a Review

Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / BAM

Description:
Rule number one: don’t fall for the wrong guy.

Gracie Green has a shopping list for men. Career, financials, family…and a long list of rules to determine a guy’s suitability. She’s already disappointed her socialite mother once—now Gracie needs to find Mr. Perfect. Too bad she keeps getting distracted by her super-sexy, six-feet-of-tattooed-hotness friend, Des, who is so many shades of Mr. Wrong…

Bar owner Des Chapman has vowed never again to get involved with society girls. Yet he’s irresistibly drawn to Gracie—those lush curves, those lips, and her ridiculous ability to date the wrong guys. As Gracie’s discouragement grows, Des realizes it’s time to show her what shereally needs in a man—and it has nothing to do with a briefcase and generous bank account. He’ll teach Gracie the Rules According To Des…even if it means breaking his rule in the process.

Review:

The Rules According to Gracie by Stefanie London was such a fun read.

Gracie is the main character, she was hilarious.  I laughed so hard at her attempts to find the right guy.  She wants all the boxes ticked, but the harder she tries, the harder they fail.

I loved her call for help to Des. A certain cocktail, and it’s Des to her rescue. I think this should have told her how she sees her dates, I think subconsciously she wanted either Des to give them the thumbs up, or wanted him to sweep her off her feet and claim her as his. 🙂

She promised her dying father to try and make her mother happy (a feat in its self!) so ….. No tattooed bar owners, just white collared boars!!

The character of Des was simply gorgeous. I loved how he slowly steered Gracie from her path of searching for the perfect man, and to see him in that role. He fell for Gracie and that was totally unacceptable, he has his own set of rules, and won’t break them, not even for Gracie.

The scenes were well written, I loved the scenes between the main characters.

Her mother was a nightmare, nothing Gracie did was ever good enough.

And the scenes between her dates had me chuckling. All those nightmare dates we go on, before we meet Mr Right. I highly recommend this fabulous read, passionate, sexy, flirty and fun.
