SYNOPSIS:
Breaking the rules has never tasted so good…
How did I end up opening a bakery with my brother’s hockey star best friend?
Start with one cake disaster, add a dangerously hot pro athlete, and mix in a steamy encounter that definitely wasn’t supposed to happen.
But when the sexy, single dad hockey player saves me from a cake contest catastrophe, I do something reckless: ask him to go into business with me.
I’m out of options—no loan, no backup plan—and this bakery is my last chance to prove I’m more than my past mistakes.
Now we’re partners, and we agree that one moment up against the door stays in the past.
Not that Corbin makes it easy.
He sends flowers when I’m down.
Braids my hair before we bake.
Gives me his jersey to wear to games.
Shows up late to test recipes… then stays way too long.
When we find a box of old love letters tucked inside a bakery cupboard, suddenly, our story feels just as risky—and just as impossible to resist.
Maybe some rules are meant to be broken. No matter the cost to our dreams.

REVIEW:
Just Breaking The Rules by Lauren Blakely was a sweet and steamy hockey romance that kicks off her new Hockey Ever After series. Blending the brother’s best friend and single-dad tropes into an irresistibly charming story, Blakely pairs hot mess Mabel, a talented and warm-hearted baker, with her best friend’s brother, Corbin, a devoted single dad and professional hockey player with a surprising passion for baking. Their easy friendship quickly simmered into something far more intense.
Blakely expertly used the forced proximity of their kitchen collaboration to turn every flour-dusted moment into a delicious slow burn, building a chemistry that felt as natural as it was electrifying. With her signature blend of witty banter, heartfelt emotion and sizzling tension, Blakely crafted a lighthearted, fun romance that was equal parts tender and tantalizing. Just Breaking The Rules by Lauren Blakely gets five smooches from me!
