She\u2019s rehearsing for a ballroom dance competition, juggling two jobs, and dealing with an ex-boyfriend who can\u2019t take the hint it\u2019s over. Yet despite all that, she still has plenty of time and energy to tell Shane Lindley to screw off.<br \/>\nShane just moved into her apartment building and seems dedicated to sleeping his way through her entire cheerleading squad. Sure, he\u2019s a tall, gorgeous hockey player, but he\u2019s messing with her turf. This calls for some ground rules: no parties in her apartment, leave her teammates alone, and\u2014most importantly\u2014leave her alone.<br \/>\nWhat Diana doesn\u2019t realize is that Shane\u2019s sick of hookups and tired of being on the rebound after his long-term girlfriend called it quits. He wants a relationship. And when his ex comes back into the picture, he pretends he has one to make her jealous\u2026and who better to play the girlfriend role than his sassy new neighbor?<br \/>\nDespite Diana\u2019s reluctance to break her rule, a fake relationship is the perfect solution for her own ex issues, and soon she can\u2019t deny something is sizzling between her and Shane. Something hot and completely unexpected.<\/p>\n<p>Diana and Shane\u2019s chemistry was off the charts. I LOVED the angst. Their two different personalities came together in the best way. Deep down, who knew Shane was such a softy?!! He said so many sweet things to Diana, their relationship was easily my fave. She is such a strong and fierce FMC and i was emotionally invested in her experiences. IYKYK about that couch scene \u2013 one of the hottest spicy scenes for a contemporary romance  (I need more of Will). The found family of this series is so wholesome, not just the scenes with the OG\u2019s but the new generation friend group as well. I will never stop gushing over seeing Garrett be a girl dad  I absolutely loved this book, the banter between them all had me laughing out loud several times.<\/p>\n<p>I had to give this one four stars. The romance and spice is well balanced with engaging plot and emotional depth. This book touches on some heavier subjects which are listed on the trigger warnings. This delivered in all aspects for me and the no third act breakup really sealed the deal. I can\u2019t wait to learn more about Charlie in the next book!<\/p>\n<div class=\"ubb-final-rating\"><\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/booknookbuzz.com\/the-dixon-rule-by-elle-kennedy\/\">The Dixon Rule by Elle Kennedy<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/booknookbuzz.com\/\">Book Nook Buzz<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dixon Rule by Elle Kennedy on May 14, 2024 Genres: Fiction \/ Romance \/ Contemporary, Fiction \/ Romance \/ General Pages: 416 Format: Paperback Buy on Amazon Goodreads Diana Dixon has a lot going on this summer.
