About this ebook
He thinks I want him because of the rumors around town. Because I think he’s easy. I want AJ, because he’s AJ.
No liars. No suits. Absolutely no straight guys…
AJ Fabin’s list of rules keeps him safe. Since getting kicked out of his parents’ home and a vicious attack by a former escorting client, his rules and his life in the tiny town of Evergreen Grove provide a quiet haven. He may be lonely, and he may stick out like a sore thumb, but the folks like him well enough. When he’s not dodging his old pimp, things are peaceful.
Hayden Price is having a quarter-life crisis. Engaged to a woman he can’t connect to and working a job he secretly hates, he comes to Evergreen Grove to help his mother through a health scare. Returning to his childhood home makes Hayden re-evaluate a lot of things, including himself. When he meets AJ and finds he can’t stand the mouthy jerk—almost as much as he can’t stop thinking about him—he has a lot more to change than his career.

Finally! AJ's story, and it was magnificent. I loved that I have read every book in this series, but still had no idea where this book was going to go. I knew I wanted to know more about AJ and his problematic past. I knew that it was most likely going to be very emotional and probably painful, but I also knew it would be fantastic. It was better than I could have hoped for. I wasn't expecting Hayden at all. Elisabeth Staab flawlessly brought him into the story, and not only made it work, but gave him a powerful story as well. It would have been easy to let Hayden be overshadowed by AJ, but that didn't happen in this book. Hayden had one heck of a story on his own, and when you add in AJ, it was explosive. By the Rules had the surprises, sarcasm, and emotional roller coasters that I have come to love in Elisabeth Staab's writing. They make you laugh, cry, and leave you wondering how in the world these characters make it through, but they also make an impression that sticks. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
