I think The Dixon Rule has become my favourite book Elle Kennedy has ever written - or at the very least, it's snagged a permanent spot in my favourites of hers. I laughed, I cried, and awwed so many times. 

It was funny, heart breaking, and so cute.

4.0

The spice/kink level in this series is high for me and would not be everyone’s cup of tea. That being said, Shane and Diana’s relationship development in this book is well-paced and a lot of important life lessons and topics are covered, including

physical abuse of a past partner, processing and reporting that abuse, as well as the fear, anxiety, and mental health consequences that result. In addition, processing a cancer diagnosis and death of a parent.

These important and challenging life themes and situations and how the characters dealt with and supported each other through these situations really made this book shine. The HOA neighbors and amateur ballroom dance competition added some nice color and fun to this story as well.
