Rules!
Break the Rules by Claire Boston pulled me in immediately. I enjoyed the instant chemistry of Bridget and Jack. So often women are overlooked for promotions in male dominated industries, and that was no exception for Bridget in this book. With Jack being her new boss, she fights their attraction, while building the passion. I thought the imagery was great, and the banter fun, the passion is intense, and there is some suspense. Kathryn LaPlante performed this book flawlessly. She gave the characters distinguishable voices, and I could hear exactly who was speaking. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Book 2!!! I need it!
The first in the Flanagan Sisters series, Break the Rules is sexy, sizzling with a back story to keep your interest piqued! Working in the male dominated world of oil refineries, Bridget Flanagan works in the safety division. Now walking into to work, she finds the man she met over the weekend for a night of passion is her new boss! This is not going to work, her first rule is no dating your co-workers. Jack and Bridget work well together and circumstances keep putting them together both in and out of work. Will she be able to resist the attraction? This couple is full of passion and banter. I felt their chemistry and was rooting for them the entire book! I loved their work, the way Jack stands up for her, the constant fight for the safe workplace, the disgruntled employees, the struggle for a woman to be heard...it's all woven together so well, the listen flew by and I fell for all of it. It's got a little suspense, a lot of emotion, some family angst and just all around good narrative.
Narrated by Kathryn LaPlante, the story flows easily. She is talented and gives the story the emotional pull and passion. I loved her ability to give each voice it's own personality. She gives a wonderful performance.

Entertaining
I got this story via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. The narrator was the best part of the story for me. The emotions were brought out so well that you didn't miss anything. The story was entertaining although the sex came too soon in the story and a little too often. The concept of the story was good and stood on its own.

Keeping the rules will keep her heart intact.
This is a great romance. Very realistic about life and love and what can happen when work and romance intermingle. She has had her heart broken and her work reputation harmed so she decides to make some rules about keeping Romance out of the workplace. It is all good until she meets Jack, her bestfriend's boyfriend's brother. There is lots of chemistry and the sparks fly but then, on Monday, Jack turns out to be her new boss. What should she do? Keep her rules or keep the guy. A great book and read very well by the narrator. I will definitely read more in this series.

Enjoyable romance with wonderful characters
Poor Bridget really has had a tough time of it. At her previous job, she was in a relationship with her boss who basically used her and their relationship as a cover for his mistakes. She now has two rules: 1. No sex on the first date; and 2. Don't date anyone at work. And she breaks both her rules when she meets Jack. To be fair she didn't know she was breaking her second rule. Imagine her shock when she is introduced to her new boss on Monday morning, the same man she slept with on Saturday night.
This book is fraught with all the angst and anguish of a strong attraction that is forcefully denied. Even when Jack and Bridget reach the point where they can no longer deny their desire for each other, they set parameters to their fledging relationship, mainly to keep work and their relationship completely separate. Theoretically that makes sense but life has a way of intervening.
Both the protagonists are very likeable. Their budding relationship has a lot of potential. And if that was it, the story would have been boring. But it isn't. Bridget works in a male dominated industry. She is committed to her job as a safety officer. Jack, as her new boss, quickly realises how overlooked she is by the management and what an asset she is to the company. Together they need to balance their personal lives with their professional. All this against a backdrop of safety risks at work.
I enjoyed the story. I loved how strong and vulnerable both characters are. I cannot wait to hear the rest of the books in this series.
