Allie McAllister is an award winning author who tends bar at the elite nightclub The Guild. Allie aka Alley Cat is bold, beautiful and determined to never risk her heart again. To protect herself from heartache she has developed three basic rules of engagement for any man in her life; 1) he has six months to write a first draft of his book, 2) do as she says without question, and 3) no emotional attachments.

Adam Carlton is a tall, dark and handsome attorney who likes getting his own way. Meeting his best friend and newly published author Charlie at The Guild Adam spots Allie and the sparks ignite.

Fridays at the club are Auction Night where the highest bidder receives a body shot of tequila off Allie. Adam's determined to win the honors and empties his wallet of $275.36. The steam rises as a simple shot become instant foreplay for these two.

A night of phenomenal sex has Adam agreeing to write a book just to keep Allie in his life. After all what's not to like? Great sex for six whole months with a gorgeous woman who doesn't want or require a commitment; it's a win-win situation as far as he's concerned.

Breaking All the Rules is a hot read guaranteed to fog your glasses. Monica Robinson creates characters that are funny, sexy and truly believable. I read with baited breath for the other shoe to fall on her cocky hero. Even though you knew he was going to pay for lying, you wanted him to break the rules and win the girl. The plot was so realistic I was even feeling sick when his subterfuge was revealed. I will definitely be looking for other books by Ms. Robinson. Five Angels.
