“Adams dazzles... a saucy second-chance rom-com” - Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

The Rule Book did not disappoint... Their banter, the quirkiness, the IOU he keeps—GAHHH. I could keep going on about how much I loved this.

I knew I would be obsessed with this book, but truly this one blew me away. I swear, Sarah's writing just keeps getting better and better.

This book was such a fun ride. I loved Derek and Nora's story. It was a joy to see them process through their individual challenges and insecurities, grow, and ultimately reconnect. It was so, so sweet. Sarah Adams just keeps getting better!

This was by far one of the funniest and most exciting sports romance books I've read. I literally loved everything about it.

Nora Mackenzie's entire career lies in the hands of famous NFL tight end Derek Pender, who also happens to be her extremely hot college ex-boyfriend. Nora didn't end things as gracefully as she could have back then, and now it's come back to haunt her. Derek is her first client as an official full-time sports agent, and he's holding a grudge.

Derek has set his sights on a little friendly revenge. If Nora Mackenzie, the first girl to ever break his heart, wants to be his agent, oh, he'll let her be his agent. The plan is simple: make Nora's life absolutely miserable. But if Derek knows anything about the woman he once loved—she won't quit easily.

Instead of giving in, Nora starts a scheme of her own. But then a wild night in Vegas leads to Nora and Derek waking up the next morning married. With their rule book out the window, could this new relationship be the thing to save their careers?

About the Author

Sarah Adams was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. She loves her family, warm days, and making people smile. Sarah has dreamed of being a writer since she was a girl, but she finally wrote her first novel when her daughters were napping and she no longer had any excuses to put it off. Sarah is a coffee addict, a British history nerd, a mom of two daughters, married to her best friend, and an indecisive introvert. Her hope is to always write stories that make readers laugh, maybe even cry - but always leave them happier than when they started reading.
