Rule audiobook

"Opposites don’t just attract. They freaking catch fire and burn the entire city down.” 
I want to give this book more than 5 stars!!! Loved it!
Ladies and gentleman... let me introduce you to
 RULE ARCHER My struggle came with the fact that Rule was complicated. He was brash, mouthy, careless, thoughtless, and often cranky and generally an insufferable pain in the ass. But when he chose to be, he was also charming and funny, artistically brilliant and more often then not, the most person in the room and I had been head over heels in love with both sides of him since I was thirteen years old. And the girl that loves him... Shaw Rule and Shaw have a complicated relationship. Rule Archer had a identical twin brother(minus the ink and piercings), Remy Archer. Remy and Shaw were very close, they were best friends. Everyone assumed their relationship was romantic, but it was strictly platonic. Remy died in a car accident three years ago. Shaw has been a part of the Archer family since she started hanging around with Remy at thirteen. Rules parents and older brother Rome love Shaw. Every Sunday, Shaw picks up Rule(she often finds him in compromising positions) and brings him to his parents house for brunch. Rules parents(especially his mother) are critical of rule and his lifestyle. Lets be honest.. Rule is a bit of a man slut, and with his changing hair color/style, ink and piercings etc, he is not what any conservative family would deem appropriate. Shaw doesn’t care. She loves everything about Rule and it drives her crazy that his parents don’t see all the wonderful in him. Unfortunately, Rule thinks Shaw was his brothers girl so he’s never seen her as anything else. Plus, she seems like too much of a good girl/spoiled princess for him. One drunken night, Shaw will finally make her move on Rule. And it will change everything....You see this story through the eyes of Rule and Shaw, with the dual povs. Rule is dealing with guilt from his brothers death, his mother blames him and people just don’t accept who he is. Remy is one of the only people who did and he is gone. He copes with his issues with alcohol and women. Lots and lots of women. Shaw is a college student, and a virgin (due to the fact that when ever she got close to a guy, it didn’t work. Because they weren't Rule.) She has parents who expect perfection from her, but they are all about appearances. They don’t really care. She is dealing with a psycho stalker ex boyfriend and is keeping a secret for her best friend Remy, that makes her life more difficult. Rule and Shaw have a lot of obstacles to overcome in their relationship.I knew I would love Rule Archer from the very start of this book! A tattoo artist, ultimate bad boy with attitude, hot and sarcastic man whore who is tattooed and pierced- in all the right places... Whats not to love???I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked Shaw. She’s rich, but she’s not spoiled or entitled. She is a loyal person. She’s kind and hardworking. At first, she conformed to what people wanted/expected of her, but I loved when that changed and she realized she didn’t have to live up to everyones expectations. I deserved better and if they weren’t willing to give me the love I showed them without restrictions or demands, then I didn't want them in my life. Most of the secondary characters were great, they really made the story. Rome is a soldier, and Rules big brother. Loved his interactions with Rule and Shaw, he was such a sweet guy. Ayden, Nash, and Cora were all good friends and were there for Rule and Shaw when they need them. Of course there were some not great characters, but thats to be expected.Rule and Shaw’s relationship had many ups and downs, but they had some scorching hot moments and some really sweet and swoony moments. Loved their relationship and their chemistry. They were perfect together. ”Because it’s always been you. Even when I didn’t want it to be. Even when it broke my heart over and over again, its just always been you.”“What if I ask you to give me everything Shaw, what if I want it all? Won’t that make me just like all the rest of them?”
“No, because you don’t have to ask me for anything. All of its already yours. You’re the only one I ever wanted to give it to.” 

This story sucked me in! I loved everything about it! There were some grammatical issues, but the story was so good, they were easily overlooked. The ending was PERFECT! (view spoiler)[ “Here’s my heart Shaw. You have it in your hands and I promise you’re the first and last person to ever touch it. You need to be careful with it because its far more fragile then I ever thought and if you try to give it back I’m not taking it. I don’t know enough about love to know for sure thats what this is between us, but I know that for me its you and only you from here on out and I can only promise to be careful and not push you away again. Life without you is doable, but if I have a choice, I want to do it with you by my side and I’m telling you I’m not running away from the work it takes to make that happen. Shaw, I’m not scared of us anymore.” (hide spoiler)] I’m excited for book 2 in this series- Ayden and Jet’s book. Especially if we get more Rule and Shaw! A fantastic debut novel! If you haven’t read this one, read it now!!!["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

Tattooed.Pierced.HOT! That's Rule Archer He’s also arrogant and explosive, he treats women like crap because too many of them let him get away with it for a long time after his brother's demise, but he was doing it all locked inside this bubble that none of those who loved him could get through. He's cold and unreachable...But then all of a sudden, there were cracks and the robot version of himself he had as a front started to fade away...Because of one girl...Their family buffer.The girl who's always there to fetch him the morning after screwing different women every night.The girl who has always thought that he's worthy and in need of love even when he did his absolute best to convince the rest of the world he isn't interested in being loved.The same girl who had loved him ever since she first laid eyes on him...... Shaw Landon... [image error]BUT, "...opposites don’t just attract they freaking catch fire and burn the entire city down." There are going to be hindrances.Crazy ex.Secrets and lies.Family issues.and he will SCREW UP a lot! “You have to promise not to bail on me when I get lost, Shaw. You have to promise to just wait it out until I can find my way back. I need to know you’re at the end of the tunnel when everything goes black.” How will they survive?Is there really a light at the end of the tunnel for Rule Archer? Want to find out?Now, READ IT!!! Remarkable. Undeniably addicting. Lovely. Engaging. This book has got it all! It's like I'm watching a soap opera. And I loved it! Okay, so it took me a while to finish this, not because I didn't get sucked in to the story, but because I've been catching up on my fave TV series, so yeah, but I know I'm clearly missing out, and I should've finished this asap because it's FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!!!Like seriously, Tattooed, pierced bad boy who also had a troubled past? Nothing new, right? But who cares anyways? I STILL LOVE IT! and I know most of you does too. I love how the story unfolds and that for a change, what happened to Shaw and Rule isn't insta love, and I love how their love story blossomed.Halfway through the book I was thinking "you know what, I think it would be the best if the author writes a book for Ayden and Jet(because he's a rockstar and everyone loves a rockstar!!!) and I'm happy at the end of the book, I found out that there IS gonna be a book about them, so YAY!I think the only problem I have with this book is the typos. I have to admit, I have to reread some words again because sometimes, the sentence doesn't make sense so this book clearly needs editing, but if you just disregard that, this book is perfect. :)Also, the thing about Remy's "secret", I figured it all out and guessed it right that I'm starting to think I'm a genius. LOL, nah, JK ;) OVERALL, I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 'Nuff said. 4.5 STARS!!!

Can you change for someone ?Will you ever be able to realise that the most beautiful things in life are moments?Can you love truly love someone that you didn't like?Well , Rule Archer CAN.RuleShawRule is the guy that will have a one night stand with you and toss away in the morning."Any chick that was willing to come home how with a stranger for a night of unattached sex didn't get the right to cast judgment around, especially while they were still naked and rumpled in bed."On the other hand Shaw is the girl who studies , has a job and stays away from any kind of trouble .But staying away from Rule isn't easy .She has to pick him up every weekend and make him visit his parents.This is a turture for both of them .Rule hates her because she's the rich girl that had invaded in his family a few years ago.Shaw can't stand him because every time she picks him up he is half-naked or naked with a different woman in his bed , and this is painful for her.We should never give up our hopes or on our undying loves...Something might happen...He gave her a perfect birthday present. She walked away....She didnt want to become one of those trashes he used to spend his night with.He went after her so they would figure out what to do with each other.Her dream came true...After all these years he was hers.However, dealing with Rule and your ex at the same time is not easy.Have you met your brother, right?Mr I'll bang anything with big boobs and negative IQThe girl has money and status written all over her , you have nothing but ink and a good time spelled out bright and clear all over you.Rule is determined to change for her and he does.It is scary to know how easily I could hurt this girl and how desperately I didn't want that to happen. She was different.With her I was different.She gave meaning to his life.She taught him how to love.Still , no matter how a perfect match they were , he was insecure about their relationship . Why I loved Rule : He was funny , though and smart. He wasn't the fucked-up character who didnt want to hurt any girl.He was a jerk! Just imagine that he considered a relationship as a monogamy thing.Why I loved Shaw : Pride comes first from everything . Beautiful and smart . She knows how to handle him and how to treat him.

I’m annoyed with myself for letting this sit on my kindle for so long, smooshed under a massive tbr pile. Rule is my weakness in New Adult. I love a hero who can be a bit of an arsehole but underneath has an ample amount of redeeming qualities. It’s his protective and loyal qualities in Rule that make him so irresistible to Shaw—despite the fact he unwittingly hurts her more often than he even realizes with his stream of one night stands. I loved their back story, their rich, complex, and tragic history because it gave them both so much room to grow. Jay did a fantastic job on character arc and journey with Rule because this is a true coming of age story for both Rule and Shaw. Add in sizzling chemistry, passion, suspense and a wonderful crew of secondary characters and you’ve got the very best New Adult has to offer. I LOVED every minute! So much so I jumped straight into book two JET and am now about to start ROME. The Marked Men series is truly addictive reading!

I am sooooooo late to the Marked Men party it's ridiculous. This has been on my tbr list for so long I don't know why it took me so long to finally read it. I think it was the cover. Not really a fan of it. But the best part of being late to read a series? I now have 4 books just sitting there that I don't have to wait to be released. Winner!

100 stars!!!!DING DING DING!!!AND WE HAVE ANOTHER WINNER! ^_^ Honestly, this is one of the best bad boy meets good girl books! I recommend it to everyone. Let's all read this! The story is all about our hero, RULE. He's every mom's nightmare. He has so many tattoos since he's also a tattoo artist himself. He dresses the part too, complete with the mohawk and crazy hair colors. He lives his life the way he wants to and that's always how it has been. Rule may look like and act like the world's biggest badass, but he has his demons. His twin brother died 3 years ago and his mom blamed him for it. Even though he was always second best to his twin, they had a good family back then, and now they didn't. Their mom is practically batshit crazy now because she's (as Shaw says) rewriting an imaginary history wherein Rule is the villain. As expected, Rule didn't take this lightly. In fact, he always doubts people's feelings for him. They always gotta prove that they care for him. Enters our heroine princess, Shaw. Yes, I'll call her princess, and that's a real compliment because she's just too good to be true! I mean, I love her character because hell yeah, she's rich, but she's not a snob. She doesn't rub her money on another person's face. She's very patient with everyone, she's kind, loyal, headstrong and she loves as hard as she can. She has been in love with Rule ever since she was 13. Unfortunately, Remy, Rule's twin, used her as a pseudo-girlfriend in the eyes of the Archer family (view spoiler)[ since he was gay and didn't wanna come out (hide spoiler)] so Rule has been seeing her only as his brother's girl. LOL. One night, sparks fly and suddenly, Rule is looking at her in a different way. He was even willing to KINDA date her, which was in his case, such a big deal because he didn't really date. Rule knows that a relationship with Shaw changes everything and she couldn't be just one of "those girls". On the other hand, Shaw has been struggling because she couldn't tell Rule that she loved him... A LOT. And that's where the complications rise. It was beautiful, even with the complications. I love how the author showed both of their imperfections. I love how their redeeming qualities also showed after everything. I love how Rule has been taught by Shaw that he could be loved just like everyone else.This novel not only shows how two completely different people could totally fall for each other, it also shows how people deal with grief, and that is a beautiful thing because it's proof that we're all human. Rule's mom admitted something in the end and that made a whole lot of a difference for my Rule. I just bet he needed that the most! The ending was really good. I love their getting-back-together scene! It rocked and y'all should look forward to it! ^_^ So that's it.. ANOTHER WINNER FOR ME!I applaud for this book! I LOVE IT! ^_^["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

3.5 stars. Honestly, y'all: Rule is a douche and a player. He tries his best to be everything his deceased perfect twin wasn't to the extremes. He sleeps with a different girl almost every day. He has his sexy body pierced and tatted (personally a fan of this rebellion :-p) Finally, his relationship with his parents is glacial. Shaw was his brother's best friend and Rule put her firmly on the off limits section. Except, he had no idea Shaw has loved him since she was 13. A drunken night makes all those walls he has built to keep her out crumble to the heat they generate. These two have fantastic sexual chemistry. After it's all said and done, I was pleasantly surprised to read Rule bring the initial pursuer :) Dear Rule, however, is also learning to be in a relationship and goes about coping with his feelings in a very bad way. That part REALLY pissed me off. Almost as much as Shaw forgiving so easily. After that, they start to develop as a couple but hit a few big bumps along the way. I wasn't a fan of Rule's methods for coping, which consisted largely of ignoring Shaw or trying to change into what he thinks she wants, but it felt like a part of his flaws. I was really glad to read him finally come into himself. He shows good growth. I liked Shaw and her big heart. I wanted to put her in a bubble to protect her from the hurt that her family, ex, and sometimes Rule out her through. All in all a good read with a few cringe-worthy moments and plenty of steamy sexy times. Safety: No OM/Sharing, though there is major ex drama for the h. H kisses a OW. No rape. Yes to abuse but not by the H.PS: Started this in audio and finished in ebook. The ebook version was a grammar nazi's nightmare but I survived >.< lol
