Cocktails and Books's Reviews > The Only Rule

When I read AC Netzel's debut book, The Casual Rule, I found myself delighted by Ben, Julia and Julia's best friend Allie. I quickly devoured books 1 and 2 and have waited patiently for the final book. I was certain Julia and Ben would have their HEA, but I had this burning need to be ensured they did. AC Netzel didn't disappoint with this final installment.

Ben and Julia don't have a perfect relationship. They bicker and they fight. But they love harder than the bickering and fighting. That love pulls them through a lot, just like real life. I think it's that realistic element that has this couple as one of my favorites. Ben is a hot, sexy, filthy alpha male. Julia is a stubborn, somewhat crazy woman. But together they work, even when they aren't, and it's hard to not want them to figure everything out and get their HEA.

I'll miss these characters and foresee re-reads of the entire series in the future. This is definitely a series to pick up.
