Rule



Wow. Just wow.

Positive… First, I am going to start with positive.

The plot --- pretty good idea.
A trifecta of brother growing up in Colorado… Rome the older brother, Remy and Rule the twins.
Shaw the girl who needs saving and Remy the boy who comes to the rescues.
Remy is killed in a horrific car accident while on his way to pick up his intoxicated twin. And as a result, he leaves behind a whole mess of a family that is simply trying to stomach one another’s presence.  
You want more??? Read this little ditty on Goodreads 



2 STARS


Some great dialogue and potential for even better characters.

Rule was fantastic --- His character was clear and you felt drawn to his eccentric and overly passionate torment… 

Shaw on the other hand I never felt like I understood. Throughout the book she was making decision that went against everything we had come to know about her character. Now I understand females generally make horrible decisions during an angst driven novel, but they just weren’t jiving with the story line…

This book has a ton of potential --- with Shaw’s crazy ex-boyfriend Gabe and Rule and his desire to run from love and protect Shaw.
But I just don’t believe the book was ready to be published. The editing that needs to be done is out of control. I cannot believe that it was put out there for the world to read when it seriously only needed a few eyes to read over it and make changes. The plot needs fixing and the characters need more individuality.
Potential--- but I just found myself frustrated and ready to throw my kindle based on the fact that “careful” was spelt “carful” repeatedly.   

Sorry … Maybe next time. And darn it I really wanted to read Jet’s story.
