IN THE DARK (Book 2) August 25, 2015
Stuck spending the summer with his screwed up family, Gabriel Walker is bored out of his mind and looking for an adventure. And he seems to find it with the hot girl who lives next door. The attraction between them is instant. Electric. Soon they’re spending every stolen minute together. Talk about the perfect summer fling…
Lucy isn’t what she seems. She doesn’t live next door—she’s the girl who’s been hired to house sit for the summer while the family goes on a worldwide vacation. If Gabe wants to believe she’s a spoiled rich girl looking for some fun, she can go along with that. After the summer, she’ll never see him again.
They don’t count on running into each other at college. Now Lucy must keep up the pretense of being a rich girl—and it’s exhausting. She knows she’s falling in love with Gabe and she’s scared he feels the same. Will he still care about her when he discovers the truth?
MY REVIEW
I swear, the more I read by Monica Murphy, the more I want to read. Her writing style is so easygoing and yet draws you in so quickly and thoroughly that you just do not want to put this book down. While this is the second book in The Rules series, it could easily be read as a standalone, though personally I'd recommend reading in order to get the most enjoyment from the stories.
I LOVE the fact that Lucy is a curvy girl. For me, it makes her character so much more relatable and along with her background-which she tries to keep Gabe from discovering-gives her more depth. She's sweet and innocent...and then Gabe enters her quiet life.
Mmmm...Gabe...he's a keeper. The prototypical playboy (just like his friends Shep and Tristan...well, if you've read Fair Game you know how that's going for Shep), Gabe is hot, sexy and just downright delicious. It's so enjoyable to watch as he goes from playboy to an unsure, infatuated guy who just can't get Lucy out of his mind. And to go along with Lucy's curvy girl status--I love how he loves her curves, and how he makes her feel about them too.
Put Gabe and Lucy together, and the pages virtually sizzle with their amazing chemistry. Add in some secrets and other drama to keep up the tension, and you've got another fantastic story in The Rules series. If you're a fan of new adult/college romances, you'll definitely want to add this to your TBR list. Bonus points for the alternating points of view from Lucy and Gabe, I love when authors do this as it adds a lot of depth to the story...and getting Gabe's POV is pretty entertaining.
4.5 wonderfully curvy, sexy, secretive stars, recommended for 18+ due to adult language and some super-hot adult intimate scenes. And after the dose of Tristan we got in this story, I'm really looking forward to his story next in the series!
