 BLOG TOUR

 Break the Rules by Roxie Noir is live!

 The third book in the Loveless Brothers series is finally here!

Synopsis

She’s my best friend’s kid sister.
Only she’s not a kid any more.

As a forest ranger, I believe in the simple life. I prefer cabins to apartments, trails to freeways, and trees to people. My life is orderly, predictable, and quiet.

Until it’s hit by a woman I never saw coming -- Hurricane June.

She’s fierce. She’s feisty. She has a laugh like the first day of spring, and she’s so pretty that I can’t breathe when I look at her. June will only be in town for a few months—just while job-hunting. She won’t last until winter, but how can I resist?

Except I have to. She’s my best, oldest, and most loyal friend’s baby sister.

Betraying him would be the worst thing I’ve ever done. Not betraying him might be the hardest.

Especially once we start working together on a secret project. All this spending time together, sneaking around at night, and lying to her brother about what we’re doing sure feels like more than friendship.

June might break my heart. Her brother might break my nose.

But I guess some things were made to be broken.


Okay, these Loveless Brothers are definitely something else. I love how close they are even though they are all very different. They care for each other and they support each other no matter what happens.

When June is rescued by Levi during a thunderstorm, she can't believe that her longtime crush is really the one who turns up next to her car. Those two know that falling in love would be a bad idea, considering how close Levi and June's brother are and, well, June isn't exactly there to stay anyway. Somehow those stupid hormones and all those mushy feelings don't listen to reason though, and those two don't just fall in love, they crash and burn, bright with lots of sparks and fireworks of the very best kind - and suddenly there's no way back...

Hiding a love like theirs from others in a place like Sprucevale, yeah, that's pretty impossible. The only one who doesn't figure it out is the one who should have known about it right from the beginning but the longer they hide, well, it doesn't get easier, right? While trying to find some tree murderers, trying to keep their undercover relationship undercover and trying to find a job, well, at least June is trying to find one, the two of them are getting closer and closer and the deadline looming at the end of it...ugh. When things fall apart and June has to leave, both of them have to think hard and to find out what really counts. Is their love worth fighting for or were they really doomed from the beginning?

Fortunately, the Loveless brothers never fail to be right where they are needed and if Levi needs a bit help to figure out what he wants and needs, well, his brothers are right there and up to the task!
With June trying to figure out what her dreams are and Levi willing to fight for the love of his life there might even be a HEA at the end of the road.

I really loved the story and the characters, though I must admit that I was a bit irritated because Levi always seemed to forget about his dog... I know, I'm nit-picking there but if felt as if it was always left at home and didn't need anything, neither food nor a walk nor...
Apart from that though, I really enjoyed the book and can't wait for the next book in this series to come out!

EXCERPT

I like this side of Levi. It’s a side I’ve only ever seen glimpses of before in the past two weeks — sweet, slightly goofy, teasing and funny, different from the serious, quiet man I thought he was. It’s a strange revelation, but a good one, even if I wish I liked it less.


“One minute,” I tell him, and pull back from the window.


I shut it. I pull the curtains closed.
I wonder what I’m doing and why on earth Levi has shown up beneath my bedroom window at twelve-thirty in the morning. I wish that the sight of him down there had made me feel differently, that I was indifferent and vaguely curious instead of suddenly buzzing and feeling like I’m being lifted aloft by several large birds.


I tiptoe down the stairs and through the living room, still wondering. I haven’t heard from him at all since we ate pizza in the back of his truck two nights ago, and I wish that didn’t bother me. I wish I thought less about him sitting there, as night fell, laughing and showing me his cell phone or telling me that he’s an alien.


I wish I thought less about him, period.


When I get outside, Levi’s leaning against his truck, his shoulder-length hair out of its usual knot.


 I’m not sure I remember seeing him with his hair down before. He looks different. Relaxed. Like himself.


“I named the dog,” he says as I walk up to him.


 I don’t know what I was expecting him to say, but that wasn’t it.


“You do know that the last time a man came to my window, I called my brother to get rid of him,” I say. “I’m sure he told you about that.”


“He certainly did,” Levi said. “And if I were in my right mind, it might have deterred me.”


“You’re in your wrong mind, then?” I ask, tilting my head slightly, keeping my voice down.

“You didn’t ask what I named the dog,” he says.

“Did you come here at twelve-thirty in the morning to tell me you named your dog?” I ask.

Levi smiles, holds out one hand. I step forward and take it, his skin warm and he enfolds my fingers in his.

“No,” he says. “I came here to say that I think you should come back to my place for a nightcap.”

“A nightcap?”

“Yes,” he says. “I’d like to take you home, fix you a drink, and seduce you, and I’d like to do it without thinking even once of your brother.”

I live in California with my very own sexy, bearded, whiskey-loving husband and two hell-raising cats.
