The Aubrey Rules

The Aubrey Rules by Aven Ellis 

Some of the Aubrey Rules to Live By:

*If I’m going to indulge in French fries, I must add extra time to the treadmill the next day. 

*Always keep your work and private life separate. 
*Being open to new experiences will never involve eating kale. 
*Never, ever date a professional athlete. 

For Chicago social media professional Aubrey Paige, the rules are everything. So much so that Aubrey has painstakingly written her rules for living into a polka-dot Kate Spade notebook that she carries with her at all times. It’s her personal guidebook to living her life. These rules are the Holy Grail—ones never to be broken. They guide her actions for everything, from dealing with workplace drama to finding a great guy to date. After all, these are her own rules, built from her life experiences and observations. So they have to be perfect, right?

Or are they?

Because when Aubrey meets a cute Canadian, she suddenly finds her rules being tested and challenged in ways she never dreamed possible. Beckett Riley is the shy, quiet, determined captain of the Chicago Buffaloes, a hockey team on the verge of turning the corner to becoming a winning organization. He’s Aubrey's opposite, with so many qualities that Aubrey had listed as ones she’d never want in a man.

Yet Aubrey finds herself drawn to Beckett in ways she’s never known. And when she unexpectedly finds herself working with Beckett, she wonders if rules are meant to be broken after all . .**

It seems like lately I've been in a hockey hero reading mood. I found this author with her other set of hockey boys, the Dallas Demons. Now we're in Chicago with the Buffaloes. I like Aubrey from the start and Beckett is nothing like you'd think a professional hockey player would be.

Aubrey is late for an interview for a social media firm and everything that could go wrong is going wrong. She's perfect for the job, she is on everything! The only thing that went right it seems is falling at the feet of Beckett Riley, not that she knew who he was. He helped her out by making sure she got to the interview on time. They really seemed to hit it off but dating or being involved with an athlete was against her rules. She has quite a few rules, they keep her life structured. Beckett messes with the order of all of that. She's not so sure she's upset with that after a while.

Beckett is a hockey player and he loves the game but he doesn't do well with social media. He doesn't twitter, Facebook or Instagram. He just doesn't see the point and it's not fun for him. Meeting Aubrey he's intrigued by her. She posts pictures of her coffee, she checks into places, she's all about social media.  He needed a reason to spend more time with her and when he sees her at his meeting with the very firm that Aubrey now works he stipulates that he wants to work only with her.

These two were just adorable together. Being adults but the way they acted when it came to their relationship was almost juvenile, but not in a bad way. At one point it was a check yes or no situation. I mean their story was sugar sweet. Not that they didn't have some bumps, everyone does! It was the journey that made the relationship worth the bumps. I loved this book and I'm eagerly awaiting the next one due out this year. As always leave the author love in the form of a review, they deserve it!!
