Bending the Rules

The Dating Playbook, Book 1

De: Mariah Dietz

Narrado por: Lyssa Browne

It started with a crush. The best stories always do.

Our story sounds predictable, short-lived, and destined for failure.

Lincoln Beckett is the star wide receiver at Brighton University—

smart, funny, and, like many would guess, heartbreak shines in his dark eyes and is etched across his jaw.

He's popular, a guaranteed draft pick, and, worst of all, my brother's best friend.

I tried not to like him. I have an entire list of reasons. Reasons that have become my rules for dating. Rules that Lincoln continues bending.

From USA Today bestselling author Mariah Dietz comes a delicious, angsty, and addictive sports romance about falling for your brother's best friend.

Cute College romance

This is a brothers bff/forbidden/football romance. Very cute I enjoyed it. There are definitely some unanswered questions so I’m excited to listen to the next one in the series to find out what happens next.

Anything but the norm

You think the is going to be a steamy smut read, but it’s that and so much more, so much more. I love all the characters in this story as well. I couldn’t stop reading it, read this in a day and a half and currently reading book 2.

I’m craving to know about all the twist & turns and the small lingering storyline that is at the waistline.

Very hard to keep going

Very slow book, so much back and forth between Lincoln and Regan. Does he like me? Oh I think he does, oh he doesn’t so I’m going to move on, oh yes he likes me. Also a lot of moving parts (for lack of a better description) in this book. You’ve got the mysterious Kranes left on her car and porch. Then her dad is very suspicious, I feel like something is going on there. Derek is a walking red flag. Regan is quite immature, I get she is 18 but still very immature. If i hadn’t already purchased the second book (and it’s too late to get a refund) I’d probably just be done with this duet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️

So my girl Kayla had been saying this series was underrated!!!
I listened to the audio and I can see why!!!
It’s like watching a tv show on cw - giving one tree hill, dawson creek vibes!!!

Rae and Lincoln are the cutest and also the most frustrating! The way they were so stubborn in obvious mutual pining?!?! Has me wanting to pull my hair out!

The freaking cliff hanger!!! Not expected!!!!!
Book 1 and 2 are a duet

Took a minute to get use to it being one narrator, but she did an amazing job at emoting both sides!!!!!
