I'm enjoying this series a lot! I also liked seeing a cameo from a Beth Bolden character. I had to stop and think whose series I was reading; that was really cute. I just love knowing that DJ Jamison is always going to bring a sweet romance with great characters and no angst. I like angst now and then but I prefer the light stuff if I'm honest.

I am loving the Rules We Break spin-offs series and Don't Mess with the Ex is an excellent addition to the saga! I've been wondering what Tucker's story is - and I never expected the long term history that would come out of the woodwork!
I love that the story starts out with Laurie needing a favour, not just coming back and declaring his undying love - the slowly rebuilding relationship definitely adds to the tension between these two... but honestly, what makes this series and the Games We Play series before it is the town and the family side characters, especially some of the recurring friends and neighbours... coming back to Granville, with it's teenage boy humourous names and sweet, gossipy residents is a delight!
I can't wait to see what happens next - because we know it won't stay in Vegas...

I quite enjoyed DJ's newest novel :) Laurie and Tucker were super cute, and I loved that when they decided to be together, nothing could tear them apart. Laurie tried so hard and I loved him.
