Book: Rules Don't Apply in Paradise by Sophia Karlson
Reviewed by kats_reads_books
Rating: 4/5
Lexi finds herself embroiled in a celebrity scandal and is looking to lay low. Tristan (her brother's best friend) is out of funds to finish his ocean documentary. When the opportunity arises for a couple to run a high class island resort and diving shop it seems perfect. The only catch is, they are not a couple.
Fake engagement
Forced proximity
One bed
Slow burn
Open door spice
There are a host of characters at the resort who bring some chaos, humour and intrigue. Both Lexi and Tristan develop some great friendships along the way too, but of course it's their relationship that takes the stage as they realise the fake has become real.
I really enjoyed Rules Don't Apply in Paradise. The romance was a delicious slow burn and their each working towards their careers while supporting each other felt very genuine. There were some things from both of their pasts revealed that give an understanding of their motivations and fears and how they can overcome them together. Overall this was a really great read!
