About JUST BREAKING THE RULES
Breaking the rules has never tasted so good…
How did I end up opening a bakery with my brother’s hockey star best friend?
Start with one cake disaster, add a dangerously hot pro athlete, and mix in a steamy encounter that definitely wasn’t supposed to happen.
But when the sexy, single dad hockey player saves me from a cake contest catastrophe, I do something reckless: ask him to go into business with me.
I’m out of options—no loan, no backup plan—and this bakery is my last chance to prove I’m more than my past mistakes.
Now we’re partners, and we agree that one moment up against the door stays in the past.
Not that Corbin makes it easy.
He sends flowers when I’m down.
Braids my hair before we bake.
Gives me his jersey to wear to games.
Shows up late to test recipes… then stays way too long.
When we find a box of old love letters tucked inside a bakery cupboard, suddenly, our story feels just as risky—and just as impossible to resist.
Maybe some rules are meant to be broken. No matter the cost to our dreams.
And breaking the rules has never tasted so good.

READ THE EXCERPT:
Corbin
Those last two words echo like a warning—working together.
We are definitely working very closely together, and this—kissing, touching, f*&king—is a recipe for failure.
But when she looks at me like that, lips wet, eyes dark, I can’t bring myself to care about consequences. Not when she’s right here in my arms and I need her so damn badly.
I make quick work of the apron strings, undoing them at her neck as I crush her lips with mine.
Her mouth feels so good, soft and pliant. She moves with me, our tongues skating together. Our moans mingling.
“It feels like forever since I kissed you,” I mutter as I briefly break the kiss, frantically tugging down the apron, exposing the collar of the dress that I bought her.
“A day is a long time,” she teases.
“I didn’t kiss you yesterday.”
She seems to think about that for a few seconds. “You should keep making up for that.”

MY REVIEW
Just when Mabel needs him the most, her brother's best friend Corbin swoops in with a rescue. And now they're opening up a bakery together. How are a hot mess of a baker and a hockey playing single dad going to run a business together without crossing the professional lines that being business partners have? Or even more significantly, that having a common person in her brother and his best friend and boss have?
Corbin has been entranced by Theo's sister Mabel since he first saw her, but never really wanted to admit it for more than one reason. But now the two of them are opening up her dream bakery together, and all the close proximity is making it impossible for him to keep a leash on his tightly held restraint. Coming up with the arrangement of business partners with benefits, keeping it secret from her brother, seems like just the idea to indulge in their chemistry without having to risk the scary repercussions of having a relationship for all the world to see.
Lauren's hockey romances are some of my favorite in the probably oversaturated hockey subgenre. Why? Because of characters like Mabel and Corbin. They are so freaking cute - opposite in almost every way, but the thing they have in common is they each have huge, but slightly walled off hearts. She's a hot mess, but she's so sweet and genuine, just wanting to prove she's not a mess. There's no way she could end up with someone other than Corbin, the man who saw (and loved) her real self. And he slowly helped her to see her own self worth, that she wasn't really a mess or unworthy the way her ex and parents had convinced her she was. I love this witty, sweet story for all its giant heart and delicious, adorable couple.
