Breaking Her Rules

Red Stone Security, Book 6

By: Katie Reus

Narrated by: Sophie Eastlake

Iris Tarango is a small-town girl from the wrong side of the tracks; she's also a decorated former Marine who fought hard to become one of Red Stone Security's most respected agents. But her perfectly ordered life is turned upside down when she's assigned to guard the sexy, dominating tycoon she shares a secret history with. The instant Iris walks back into the billionaire's diamond-studded orbit, the wild attraction flares between them; and her reputation, objectivity, and heart are in trouble.

After an attempt on his life, business magnate Wyatt Christiansen calls in major favors to hire Iris as his bodyguard. He knows she's the best, though he has another motive too. He sees this as his final chance to win her heart. But when danger spins out of control, all Wyatt can think of is getting Iris out of harm's way; even if it means losing her love in the end.

Unfortunately, the killer seems to know their every move. If Wyatt and Iris don't figure out who put out the hit, they'll lose more than their chance at happiness together.

Author note: Breaking Her Rules is the sixth story in the Red Stone Security series but can be listened to as a stand-alone.

nice!!!

I liked it a lot. Sometimes I had a hard time with the male character coming from a woman, it was hard to believe. I would definitely listen to Sophie again.

Not a favorite Katie Reus story.

This seemed to be more about he sex than any security company agents. I liked the characters well enough but all they did was have sex or think about having sex.

The story line and plot were just mediocre at best. It was really rather boring. Seriously, this book consisted of 90% sex or thoughts of sex. Hard to enjoy a story where there is not much of one. What story there was could have been good if some of the sex had been eliminated and more story included. I will say the sex was written very hot and steamy, and was written well. I had no issues with that. It was the amount of sex that overshadowed a potentially good story.

There was lots of dialogue throughout the book (even during the sex). I like lots of dialogue, so there is that.

The narration was great! Sophie Eastlake does a fantastic job on the men's voices. They sound like men and they sound sexy. She reads with emotion. Her reading voice is nice and she does not grate on the nerves. Everyone gets their own distinct voice. She is a joy to listen to.

I can't say I recommend this story, unless you want to read a book mostly consisting of good sex. But I wholeheartedly recommend the narrator!

I LOVED Iris & Wyatt's story!! Fabulous listen!!

I've been waiting and waiting for this story ~ if you read Katie Reus this ties in with her Sin City series ~ I kept checking and checking for this story, and you know how you're somtimes dissapointed when you finally get a story you've been waiting for forever??
That so didn't happen here! I absolutely LOVED Wyatt and Iris, and they are so perfect for one another ~ Wyatt is strong and domineering, but he knows how handle Iris, who is a strong and self assured woman. He's not about to let her go ~ even when she's stubbornly refusing him. The sparks fly from the second they step on the same page and don't stop! Smokin' hawt chemistry, Sophie Eastlake's fabulous narration & a GREAT story!

You don't want to miss this one ~ and let me recommend this whole series, as well as the Sin City series by Katie Reus. Action packed, sexy & full of characters you'll love and want to see more of!!

Another engaging story in this series

This is audiobook 6 of the Red Stone Security series, but know it is definitely is a stand alone.
The story centers around Iris Tarango and Wyatt Christiensen. She is a former Marine and currently a well respected operative at Red Stone Security. Wyatt is a very successful businessman owning hotels in Vegas, and various other companies. They have been friends since they were 10, growing up poor but making a name for themselves. An underlying chemistry has been there fror a while.
What happens in Vegas , doesn’t always stay in Vegas. She flees back to Miami after spending a week with Wyatt in Vegas.
When he is in need of a bodyguard , Wyatt hires Red Stone Security and requests Iris as his bodyguard.
Without giving away the plot let’s just say that it’s a fast paced story, the friends to lovers and more is intense, the suspense, bad guys and gun for hire will have you on the edge of your seat, and the twists and turns will keep you on your toes.
Oh, and the author mentions the Serafina hotel Wyatt is planning on building. That has encouraged me to check out the author’s, The Serafina Sin City Series.
I was gifted this audiobook. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

What did you love best about Breaking Her Rules?

Reviewing the audible version narrated by Sophie Easlake. She has a nice tone of voice; soft but clear. This was my first audible and what a nice surprise. I was able to listen to pretty much all of it in the time it took me to do all the things I had to do around the house. Only other thing I have to say about it though is that it was hard for me to keep a straight face when she did the hero’s voice. I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud! And I dodn't even think it was funny, it was just strange! But don’t let that deter you from enjoying the story because it was awesome.

Breaking Her Rules is part of Katie Reus’ Red Stone Security Series. It introduces us to Iris, an ex-marine and team leader of her security team. It sounded like she had a hard life growing up and turned to the Marines because it was the only thing she viewed as “the good guys.” Her friend Wyatt was some sort of anchor to that past life but also the only good and true friend she ever really had. While visiting him in Las Vegas they decide to get married without thinking much of the consequences. Their relationship may look a bit rushed but to me it sounded congruent with the story. They were after all friends since childhood and he was hiding his true feeling for her for a long while. I admire and love strong, relentless, take-charge heroines and Iris fulfilled the pattern to a “T”. It seemed logical that she felt vulnerable when he kind of asked her to give up everything she'd fought hard for and stayed with him. I mean, give the girl a few moments to think about what was happening before blurting out something like that! Ok, I don't agree with her reaction but I can understand why she acted the way she acted.
Reus’ writing voice was impeccable as usual. The narration flowed naturally and secondary characters were a plus, always on point. I've read other reviews that say the plot was predictable and that it was obvious they would end up together. Well of course they will end up together; it’s Suspense Romance for a reason. And as far as the villain, there has to be a rock in the path to happiness to make it worth it, but that’s why we expect the plot to be good. Predictable or not, the plot was full of action, suspense, and full of emotions, and in this instance, the ride to happiness was what it was all about. But in case you're wondering, the plot was so not predictable =D
