Breaking His Rules

This was a very hot and steamy story. Samantha was working hard to make it on her own. Out from under the thumb of her controlling father and her ex-fiance she refused to give up. She was also determined to not get involved with a controlling billionaire after what her ex-fiance and father put her through. Damon is the billionaire that owns Midnight Blue, the club where Samantha started bartending. She doesn't fully trust Damon, but the attraction is so hot she really wants to. I really enjoyed reading this story. Getting to know Damon was wonderful. I was quite shocked at the secrets that came out, but I enjoyed the way things worked out for Samantha.

"Breaking His Rules" by R. C. Matthews is a spicy and steamy romance. This is Damon Baxter and Samantha Rayne's story. Samantha is trying to make it on her own without help from her family. She gets a job bartending at the Midnight Blue nightclub. There are lots of rules such as "Don't sleep with patrons, Don't sleep with co-workers, etc.". Following rules are not an easy thing for Samantha but this job is very important to her. She is willing to follow the rules to keep this job so she can make it on her own. Well, that is the case until she meets Damon the owner of the nightclub. The minute they meet the room heats up and the reader can feel the sexual tension between them. Then they start finding ways to break the rules and really heat things up. This is a spicy romance, but there is so much more. The author does a great job of incorporating a story with steamy sex. There are surprises and secrets revealed along the way. The supporting characters were great too! FYI, includes graphic and mature content. I received a copy of this book from Tule Publishing for an honest review.

This was a difficult book to put down! I loved the verbal interplay between Damon and Samantha which served to build sexual tension but was humorous at the same time. Hot, steamy sex scenes, yet not crude or gratuitous as some erotica tend to be. Despite the novella length, Ms Matthews manages to attain plot and character depth to keep the reader engaged. A must-read and I'll be looking for more from this author.
