About this listen
Rule number one: Hands off my kid sister's best friend.
Rule number two: See rule number one.
Rule number three: Seriously, don’t even think about touching Luna.
Luna is my new roommate. My very off-limits roommate. My gorgeous, feisty, painfully tempting roommate.
I try to keep my distance. To ignore her soft laugh, her intense eyes, her sweet smile. And that groan, the one she makes over her morning coffee.
All right, the sassy college student is driving me out of my mind.
I can still keep my hands off her. I double down on my rules. Draw that line between friends and lovers. Then, she kisses me. And, suddenly, it’s obvious. There's no way in hell I can resist her.
The Rule Breaker is a stand-alone best friend's brother romance with a feisty college student heroine, a brooding tattoo artist hero, and enough heat to melt your earphones. Come see why fans say "no one writes broken bad boys like Crystal Kaswell".

Dear Holden, I'm not going to college a virgin. I want to learn everything and I want you to teach me. I have to ask: Will you be my first? Yes, there are risks. I'm your best friend's kid sister.

But Skye is determined. She’s bringing a fake boyfriend to her cousin’s wedding, with or without me. No way am I letting some other guy hold her, touch her, kiss her. It has to be me.

Dean Maddox spent high school pushing all my buttons. Seven years later, we're working together. So much has changed, but he's the same arrogant jerk with the same penchant for teasing me senselessly. I still want to slap the cocky smirk from his face. And tear off his clothes. And kiss him like the ship is going down. I hate him. I want him. I can't...no, I will stop thinking about him.

Story
He’s my best friend’s older brother, off limits and incredibly tempting. I shouldn’t peak into Brendon’s sketchbook, even if the tattoo artist is as brooding and stoic as the day is long. I can’t help myself. I peel it open, run my fingers along the paper, soak up every ounce of him. His drawings are as beautiful and bold as his dark eyes and his cocky smile. Only, there, on the third page - that’s no tattoo mockup. That’s me. Naked. Ready. Waiting in his bed.

Violet Valentine has had enough of tattooed bad boys for one lifetime. Sure, nice guys don't set her on fire the way her ex Ethan did. They don't have his piercing blue eyes, or his bright smile, or his skilled hands. They don't serenade her with her favorite songs. Or make her laugh until her sides ache. Or make her feel so good she could die. None of that matters. Ethan isn't breaking her heart again. No one is.

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

As I fly out the door, I make sure to swipe the thing my ex loves best–the VIP tickets he won to a hockey game, complete with the chance to spend an evening with the city’s two biggest NHL stars.

With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Beaver. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting--aka, man of honor--and take matters into my own hands. The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I'm starting to see my best girl in a different light. She's always been beautiful to me, but now . . . I find myself staring a touch too long. My hand lingering for one more minute. And when she's upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever done this. Written a racy message and sent it to—oops—the wrong person. Yeah, me too. Except, I sent my latest Tales of a Naughty Virgin column detailing my fantasies about my hot, charming, thoroughly bangable next-door-neighbor to…my entire company. Did I mention I’m a children’s book editor? Well, I was. *Facepalm.* At least the column goes viral, but I’m still the gal who gets fired for her not-safe-for-work thoughts about the so-called “Mister Sexy Pants”.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Worth the Listen!
I loved this book when I read it and listening to it just brought it to LIFE! It made me fall in love Oliver and Luna's story even more. Their story isn't the norm, but I love how they both had to overcome and figure out something in both their lives. I love how Daisy and Holden play a part in this book since they both are the best friends of Oliver and Luna. I would love to have a novella or a bonus scene of the four of them in the future to see where they all end up. Maybe when Gabe's book comes out or another Inked Love artist's book, fingers crossed! I can't wait to see what Crystal comes up with for Gabe, his hotness, and what lucky lady gets to tie him down. This was my first time listening to Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott and they did an amazing job at portraying Oliver and Luna. I will definitely be looking for more audiobooks with them as the narrators now. I definitely recommend this audiobook especially if you loved the book! SO WORTH IT!

Hot chemistry. Medium-ish burn
I enjoyed this story. Oliver and Luna were clearly meant to be. Their banter, their heat. All super hot. And they were borderline obsessed with each other. I would say this is medium-ish burn. I kept saying, “C’mon. Just hook up already.” And when they finally did, hot. I love a siblings best friend to lover romance. It’s a little taboo, a little forbidden. And I respect Oliver’s sobriety journey. Fighting your demons is not easy.

Love the Bad Boys!
After following Oliver through Daisy and Holden’s story in the previous book, you can sink your teeth into his brooding and drinking ways. There is just something so hot about a tattooed bad boy who finds himself needing to find his way through sobriety while trying to side step the land mines of falling in love with someone off limits. As you’ve come to love from Crystal Kaswell, you get plenty of steam and off the charts chemistry that keeps you turning page after page and having that sexy voice telling you the amazing story, you find yourself melting as the chapters fly by.

A great listen!
I’ve been looking forward to Luna and Oliver’s story and loved every moment of it. I love the best friends brother romance trope, and really enjoyed this one! I loved how the relationship between Luna and Oliver progressed and they were able to talk and be honest with the events happening in their lives. The narration was great in duet and I love the way that Kai and Wen capture the emotion of the characters. A great story with amazing narration.

Oliver & Luna’s Tender And Heartbreaking Story!
Oliver & Luna’s Tender And Heartbreaking Story Captivates As They Lean On One Another For Support! Oliver Is A Real Surprise – Once He Puts Down The Bottle He Becomes A Pillar Of Strength.
This book reads perfectly as a standalone. It is, however, the third book in the Inked Love series, which is a spin-off of the Inked Hearts series.
About the series:
This series picks up where The Baby Bargain, book eight of Inked Hearts series, leaves off. There Chase agreed to help Ariel, his best friend's sister, get pregnant. In book one of this series, Chase is now the manager of the new sister shop about a twenty minute walk away. Chase works at Inked Love tattoo parlor with his best friend and brother-in-law Forest, as well as Forest and Ariel’s younger brother Holden, Holden’s best friend Oliver, Patrick (a.k.a. Trick), and Darren (a.k.a. Dare).
In book one, Faking It (formerly called The Best Friend Bargain), Ariel's brother Forest gets his own book with his best friend next door and social media influencer Skye. They find love after years of skirting their feelings for one another. As the first book opens, Ariel is roughly six months pregnant and has moved into Chase's apartment.
Book two, The First Taste, is Holden’s story. It takes place a few months later. Holden’s best friend Oliver and Oliver’s little sister Daisy have struggled after their parents’ marriage collapsed due to their mother’s addiction. As Daisy turns eighteen and is about to leave for UC Berkley, she looks to Holden, her long-time crush, to help her bridge the gap from adolescence to adulthood.
In this book:
Oliver Flynn, twenty-one, is a disappointment to everyone. The most important person in his life is his little sister Daisy, and after everything that happened with her a year ago he never wants to disappoint her again. He still can’t forgive his best friend Holden for sleeping with her at the end of the summer, before she left for UC Berkley. It was a betrayal, regardless of the fact that they claim to be in love. Holden broke his trust. But Oliver has his own problems to deal with now, and the pressure on him is intense. His father is riding him – the state of California has its say as well now. Everyone has told him he has a drinking problem, but they don’t understand. The booze and the hookups are just a way to forget, to get a release, and he can quit whenever he wants. If only the cost of living weren’t so expensive he would move out of his father’s house in a heartbeat, but he promised Daisy he would stay at home at least a year.
Luna Locke, eighteen, has just started her freshman year at UCLA. She is single, having been told months ago by her ex-boyfriend of eighteen months that she is too much. That hadn’t exactly helped her self-esteem. Still, she has a busy class schedule and swim practice in the afternoons. She is lucky that she gets to live at home with her parents because rent in L.A. is outrageous. Her mother Allison is a successful CEO, driven by ambition and serious in nature. Divya, her other mother, is full of love and warmth. Divya is the fun mother. Luna may be biologically related Allison, and share some of her tough attitude, but she also shares some of Divya’s colorful traits. Luna thought they were madly in love, so when they sat her down and told her they are divorcing, it felt like a betrayal. She saw no signs of it coming and now feels like she has been living a lie. She spent half her childhood in her best friend Daisy’s home, and with no other obvious place to turn, so goes to the Locke home for refuge.
As this book opens, it is October and Ariel’s baby is two months old. Holden has agreed to be sober and is four weeks into a ten week commitment. He has kept this fact to himself, though. Gabe Locke worries that Luna’s presence may be a problem for Oliver, but he also knows that Oliver really needs a friend in Daisy’s absence. Luna’s parents understand she needs some space, so Luna temporarily moves into the Locke guest room.
Oliver and Luna’s story is tender and heartbreaking. In Daisy’s absence, Oliver and Luna lean on one another for support. They bond over coffee and cooking, and Oliver more than most understands the feelings that Luna is sorting through as she watches her family fall apart. Finding purpose in being there for her helps him get outside of his own head as well. And seeing it happen to Luna in real-time helps give him a new perspective on his own family’s destruction. They are both in crisis mode as their relationship strengthens and they contemplate crossing the line. Together they try to mend their broken hearts. The couple earns a beautiful ending.
Oliver and Luna have long been attracted to one another when she moves into the Locke home, so their chemistry is off that charts from the beginning. Their playful banter is fabulous, and I love that they bond over coffee. But Oliver is a real surprise here. There is so much more to the drunken fool that appeared in previous books. Underneath he is all silent but deeply—feeling, and devoted to the people that he loves. Once he puts down the bottle, he is a pillar of strength.
Oliver and Luna’s heartwarming story deals with alcoholism, divorce, trust, and betrayal. It is beautifully written. The plot is fairly simple. The characters are carefully crafted and three-dimensional. The story is written in first person. The POV alternates between Oliver and Luna. I rate this book five stars.
As for the Audio: it is well-performed and consistent with the book.
I received an advance copy of this book and audiobook and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Broken Like Me
I love Crystal Kaswell because she knows how to capture the readers attention and keep it there to the very end. Oliver and Luna's love story chronicles two broken souls as they navigate life through self-discovery, real life emotions and the angst of life as young adults. Their chemistry is sexy and engaging. The writing, plot and dialogue is sobering and inspiring.
What brought the magic and made it creditworthy was the narration. Wen and Kai are outstanding!!! I was blessed to receive an Advance Listener Copy (ALC) of this and WOW!! I loved it.

Sibling's Best Friend Romance with Depth
3.5 stars! I enjoyed this slow burn, new adult sibling’s best friend romance! Oliver and Luna had great chemistry and banter, and clearly were meant for each other. I liked that the story had depth to it, including Oliver’s alcohol addiction recovery/sobriety journey and Luna dealing with her parents’ divorce. At times, though, the story seemed a bit slow to me. I did not read/listen to the other books in the series prior to this one and did not feel lost, so I think this book could easily be listened to as a standalone. As for the narration, I was happily surprised that this was narrated in duet! This was my first time listening to Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross, and I thought the duet narration flowed smoothly. I especially liked Kai’s narration for Luna.

love can help you get though any
Ovlier was struggling with staying sober and not numbing his self to the world his head was in a dark place he didn't even know what to do he was counting dow the weeks till he could drink again because all he had was work and the gym he thought he was a screw up and he disappointed everyone in his life and he was going to turn out to be like his mom he didn't think he deserved to be loved by anyone but at the sametime he couldn't get his sister's best friend out of his head he thought it was his messed up brain and how he destroyed everything and everyone around him and if he didn't destroy it then he disappointed them that was in till Luna became his new roommate that he started to see the light at the end of the dark tunnel.
Luna just found out some news about her parents and she couldn't handle it so she ran to the only place she ever felt welcome at and like a second home to her her best friends house even though she was at College on the other side of the state ahe still felt like it was her second home and she didn't want to be at home right now and face her parents so she became Oliver's roommate and he helped her with what she was going through with her parents she always had a crush on him just never thought he did on her then he told her his seacret about his sobriety and they where becoming friends more than just her best friends brother and from there there friend ship turned to more and that's when she found out he liked her just as much as she liked him. Love Kia kenicott and Wen Ross they are amazing narrator

This book receives a thumbs up from me.
I enjoyed this book overall. I did find myself speeding up the narration to push through some parts but nothing that I would consider painful. I felt the narrators did a great job.
