Summary

Poppy Anderson was nailing her sophomore year at Brighton University。 She liked her classes， had the greatest best friend， and was finally ready to start dating again。 Or she was … until her ex， Mike， transferred to Brighton and started exchanging long stares and inside jokes that Poppy thought he’d forgotten。

Paxton Lawson was long ago labeled ‘The Golden Boy。’ Starting quarterback and team captain at Brighton University， his future was brighter than the sun until a short path of indiscretions tarnished his name and potentially his future。 When he learns that his sister’s best friend， Poppy， has backed herself into a corner and is facing as many doubts and uncertainties as he is， Paxton suggests the biggest ruse of the year: a fake relationship。

Writing the rules was supposed to make things clear， defined， and definite。 Only， their relationship becomes increasingly complex as the lines are blurred， days become weeks， and kisses for show begin to feel like confessions。

Can lies lead to truths？ And what happens when the rules they wrote begin to expire？

One lie，
Two hearts，
And fifteen years of friendship are about to be put to the ultimate test。

Writing the Rules is a complete standalone and can be read independently， but is book 6 in The Dating Playbook series。

yesenia （Caligirlheartsbooks） ，

I really enjoyed this one！ It had two of my fave tropes rolled into one。 Fake relationship and best friend’s brother。 Poppy and Paxton where such a good couple。 Though they where considered opposites it just worked。 I enjoyed the storyline and what it consisted of。 It had the comedy aspect， the romance a sprinkle of angst。

Karin ，

I loved Paxton and Poppy’s story！ These two were so perfect together。 When they both find themselves in a bind （him cause of his reputation and her cause of a ex） they decide they need each other to help out but of course nothing goes as planned。 I adored this story

Writing the Rules has given us the perfect closure for this heartwarming as well as heart stopping series。It may be read as a standalone but that would be a disservice to yourself- heart mind and soul - as you should really read all the books to get the full experience that all these characters have had to traverse to get to this point。Paxton was the star - quarterback as well as among the social scene。 He just had this light that emitted from him except when tragedy had struck in his family and Writing the Rules has given us the perfect closure for this heartwarming as well as heart stopping series。It may be read as a standalone but that would be a disservice to yourself- heart mind and soul - as you should really read all the books to get the full experience that all these characters have had to traverse to get to this point。Paxton was the star - quarterback as well as among the social scene。 He just had this light that emitted from him except when tragedy had struck in his family and with his relationship of three years。 His life began to spiral and his light was being extinguished。Poppy had been a part of Paxton's life and family for so long as she was his sister's best friend。 Poppy never imagined Paxton in the role of "boyfriend" after all he was her best friend's older brother。 When it appears that if they posed as a couple， it would bring both their lives out of the dark and give them both something to work towards - career， social status， healthy well being。Rules， Poppy lived by rules and structure。 But how do you set the rules about falling in love when it's a fake relationship and how do you structure your heart not to break and to learn to love the one who is right for you。 。。。more

This is the fifth book by Mariah Dietz that I’ve read， and I can say that it’s my favorite。 I absolutely loved Pax and Poppy’s story so much。 Fake dating is one of my favorite tropes when done right， and Dietz truly knows how to make pretending hot。 Did I mention that it’s a Dating-My-Best-Friend’s Brother novel？ Pax is such a sweetheart， his actions spoke to my heart。 Poppy is someone I could see myself being best friends with。 This was honestly so beautiful， and the epilogue made me shed happy This is the fifth book by Mariah Dietz that I’ve read， and I can say that it’s my favorite。 I absolutely loved Pax and Poppy’s story so much。 Fake dating is one of my favorite tropes when done right， and Dietz truly knows how to make pretending hot。 Did I mention that it’s a Dating-My-Best-Friend’s Brother novel？ Pax is such a sweetheart， his actions spoke to my heart。 Poppy is someone I could see myself being best friends with。 This was honestly so beautiful， and the epilogue made me shed happy tears。 It was able to get me out of my reading slump。 4。5/5 stars。 *I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review 。。。more

The epilogue。。。The story was definitely okay， but the epilogue where the writer plays it off like the parents are telling their love story to their kids really bothered me。 Because there are no circumstances under which you should be giving details of your sex life to your five and seven year old children。 That's just messed up。 Also there's the whole time line of one of the children being seven which would have made her pregnant around the time she would have graduated college。 It bothered me t The epilogue。。。The story was definitely okay， but the epilogue where the writer plays it off like the parents are telling their love story to their kids really bothered me。 Because there are no circumstances under which you should be giving details of your sex life to your five and seven year old children。 That's just messed up。 Also there's the whole time line of one of the children being seven which would have made her pregnant around the time she would have graduated college。 It bothered me that she didn't really have dreams and wrapped her worth around her ability to love someone。 Also the fact that until she left for college it sounds like she practically raised her brother and even during college she's expected to come home and watch him seems really unhealthy。 Like this happened and the writer still makes it sound like her absent parents are good parents。 Leaving your older children to raise your younger is not being a good parent。 Like I'd get it if she came from this poor family who didn't have a choice because food and a roof are obviously a priority in parenting， but her parents had money so there's no excuse for it and it shouldn't be portrayed as positive and healthy。 It wasn't the big things about this book that bothered me。 It was the little things。 I just had trouble engaging with these characters and understanding them。 So not really the book for me， but it wasn't bad。 。。。more

This is best friend's brother and sister's best friend romance but I feel like it is friends to lovers romance because Poppy and Paxton have known each other for 15 years and with their only 2 years apart， even if Poppy think they are not close， but with they seem to be easily cosy toward each other， I think they are definitely close。 Their relationship is more like friends to lovers too because it starts with the reason that they want to help each other and then their feelings develop when they This is best friend's brother and sister's best friend romance but I feel like it is friends to lovers romance because Poppy and Paxton have known each other for 15 years and with their only 2 years apart， even if Poppy think they are not close， but with they seem to be easily cosy toward each other， I think they are definitely close。 Their relationship is more like friends to lovers too because it starts with the reason that they want to help each other and then their feelings develop when they fakes their relationship to convince people to believe in their loves so be prepared for a slow burn the author creates。 It is worth the wait because when they are finally together， their chemistry sizzle and their first love scene is sweet and hot at the same time。 I haven't had a chance to read another books in the series before even if I have 4 of them on my kindle for a while so when I start reading this book， I don't know that it is the last one of the series until I read the epilogue but rest assured you that， I am going to go back to my kindle and read the rest of the series ASAP because I enjoy reading this book a lot。 Like I said before， the story is slow burn but it has a bit of angst from both Paxton and Poppy。 Their friendships are so beautiful。 They care about each other and Poppy helps Paxton to be a better man after he was spiraled downward with his problems。 Aside from that it also has a little bit of their exes' drama from both of them。 And it makes me want to smack Paxton's head so hard because his ex is a psycho。 I don't even want to talk about Poppy's ex because he is that bad and I am so glad that she finally tell him in his face。 And even if everything seem to be easily predictable， I still enjoy reading it so I must give the credit to the author for writing it so good that I don't feel boring at all while I am reading it。 If you love sports and best friend's sibling or sibling's best friend romance， you wouldn't want to miss this one I quarantee you that。 。。。more

Mariah Dietz saved the best for last！ Not that I haven’t loved every book in this series because I could go on and on about them all， but this was the story I’d been anticipating the most。There’s so much going on in this book。。。sister’s best friend， fake dating， friends to lovers， college sports romance， and a slow burn。。。all of it made for a sweet， sexy and steamy story！ No one expected Paxton and Poppy to get together， to start dating， to fall in love， including them。 Those close to them knew Mariah Dietz saved the best for last！ Not that I haven’t loved every book in this series because I could go on and on about them all， but this was the story I’d been anticipating the most。There’s so much going on in this book。。。sister’s best friend， fake dating， friends to lovers， college sports romance， and a slow burn。。。all of it made for a sweet， sexy and steamy story！ No one expected Paxton and Poppy to get together， to start dating， to fall in love， including them。 Those close to them knew not to believe it， but sometimes it’s the unexpected things that turn out the sweetest。 Rules were written to keep things on track， but feelings and those damn meddling exes kept derailing their list。 When fake starts to feel authentic， things get complicated， rules get broken， and lines are blurred。 That’s when $hit gets real。。。like real real。 I’ve become so attached to all these characters， I don’t want this series to end！ I’ll just keep my fingers crossed that Mariah feels the same ;）。 。。。more

This book was great， I did not want to put it down！ At first it was a little hard to follow because although it is a standalone there was a lot of mention about the other characters in the series and the events that happened in their book。 Starting with the 6th book in this standalone series meant there were a whole cast of people I was not familiar with。 But I quickly jumped in and started devouring every word。 Pax and Poppy were the best， I loved the banter and the chemistry。 This book is the This book was great， I did not want to put it down！ At first it was a little hard to follow because although it is a standalone there was a lot of mention about the other characters in the series and the events that happened in their book。 Starting with the 6th book in this standalone series meant there were a whole cast of people I was not familiar with。 But I quickly jumped in and started devouring every word。 Pax and Poppy were the best， I loved the banter and the chemistry。 This book is the best friend's brother trope and it was done well！ The epilogue was absolutely perfect and gave us a view of their lives 10 years later。 。。。more

Bianca ，

I really enjoyed this book。 The plot was good。 My only problem was that there was so much pages filled with other characters on not with the couple itself。 I am also not a huge fan of inner monologue， and I feel a lot of important things were thought but not said out right。 The writing stile was great as always and the characters were very likeable， I just had a tiny issue with secondary characters stealing the spotlight。
