Rule #2: You Can't Crush On Your Sworn Enemy

The Rules of Love

By: Anne-Marie Meyer

Narrated by: Liz Krane

Length: 5 hrs and 7 mins

Publisher's summary

I live by three rules. One: I never get lower than an A in any class. Two: I never lose a cross-country race. And three: I never talk to Cade Kelley.

Well, number three came crashing down the moment Principal Connell asks me to guide Cade back onto the right path. Something about helping him turn his life around. If only Principal Connell knew our history, he’d understand just what he’s asking.

But, I have an incessant need to please all adults, so of course I say yes. When Cade seems pleased as well, I can’t help but wonder if this is part of some scheme. A plan he’s worked up to finish me once and for all. Apparently, what he did in junior high wasn’t enough.

Just when I think I have everything figured out, my life spirals out of control. Suddenly, adults suck - especially parents - and pleasing them becomes the last thing I want to do. What confuses me even more is in the moment I choose to run away, the first person I go to is the one guy to whom I swore I would never get close.

Hopefully, the Cade I’ve uncovered won’t hurt me, because I’m so close to breaking.

Too Sweet!

May Cade & Penelope put your heart into flutter happiness. This story is just too sweet and cute to pass. I read this in one sitting & It’s a good light & adorable love they got there! AUDIO NARRATOR wasn’t too bad at all.

Fun enemies to lovers with an important message

This was a fun young adult enemies to lovers romance. Penny sees Cade as her sworn enemy due to some teasing in the past. The principle asks her to help tutor him. She can't say no because she wants to be seen as great in adults eyes. She dreads it. Cade doesn't seem to be dreading it, which confuses her. Turns out the Cade she thought she knew isn't who he really is. She is surprised to find out that Cade is actually who she needs to lean on and the feelings she has for him are a shock to her. I love their back and forth. Cade loved pushing her buttons. The narrator did a great job. I had so much fun with this book.

Better than I was expecting!

This story turned out to be quite different to how I thought it was going to be. I’m not one for young adult/college stories. I’m not a fan of the teenage drama. Whilst this story did have an element of drama to it, I didn’t feel that it was over done. There was enough serious elements to it that I could believe it to be realistic. The character development didn’t feel shallow - they actually had substance to them & the clichés were kept to a minimum which I appreciated. Although I wouldn’t go so far as to say this is now my favourite genre, I can honestly say this author did a good job with the story.

Sweet YA Romance

Need a book for your love struck teenage daughter? This book fits the bill. Sweet young love, budding romance, and a valedictorian. Clean read... no cursing or sexual situations.

Great series!

Another fun read about The Rules of Love! Meyer’s second book in the series brings a new love story with new challenges. Readers will relate to the angst and excitement of teen love along with real life trials. Will long-held grudges and prejudices keep Penny from recognizing Cade’s potential? Is it possible one’s nemesis can actually be one’s knight in shining armor? Some fun adventures with this unlikely couple, who have more in common than appearances had let on.

Cute YA

Sweet YA story (that can be enjoyed by anyone). Plenty of teen drama and cute romance. Enjoyed performance by Liz Krane.

I really like these books.

Anne Marie Meyer knows the heart of teenage girls. These are clean romances that they can relate to.

Don't judge a book by its cover

I listened to the audiobook of this. This YA series for new to me and the author is still fairly new to me also.

Penny is smart, athletic and seems to have it all together until the principal asks her to help Cade get his act together. She only does it because it will look good on her application for college. It seems as if once Penny starts helping Cade (her sworn enemy since an incident in junior high) her life starts to fall apart. She blames him, but it's not his fault, just a coincedence and when she reaches are breaking point Cade's the only one she feels she can turn to.

This is a cute enemies to something-more-than-friends story. It has all the angst and problems of the teen years we all remember, but it also shows you can't judge a book by its cover. This is the second book in a new series.

I thought the narrator did a wonderful job.
