Rules and Roses

Untouchable, Book 1

By: Heather Long

Narrated by: Marnye Young, Grayson Owens

When it comes down to acclaim in the yearbook, my class rank would probably earn me my only entry, but probably very little else. I don’t wear cosmetics, do my hair, or really give a damn about my appearance in general. I don’t need to be cool, and I’ve managed my high school career navigating all the different groups from the nerds to the jocks to the theatre kids and the band geeks.

Kicking off senior year, my only focus is to make every AP class count and keep my grades up. Shouldn’t be hard, particularly with my so-called untouchable status. Oh yeah, imagine that — I had a reputation. Hadn’t been a blip on my radar until the end of junior year when one of the girls’ dropped that little nugget on me. Apparently, the guys at school considered me the best girl to hang out with for fun or homework, but nothing else.

While I’m not looking for a date, it’s a little hard to swallow that I ranked as the best bud and tutor, but would definitely never fall into the Girl Most Likely To Get Asked Out.

Pfft. What did I care? One more year and I was off to college, so what if the numbers of female friends I used to have drifted off and I’d scored a permanent seat in the friend zone. I had subjects to study, grades to maintain, and colleges to get into. Fine, I didn’t care about the rules or status before, and I wouldn’t now.

181 class days to go, and I’ll graduate. No problem, right?

Please note this is a reverse harem and the author suggests you always listen to the forward in her books. Contains some bullying elements, mature situations, and is recommended for 17+. This is the first in a series and the story will continue through future books.

Amazing!!!

I already loved this book BUT this audio has blown me away! Both narrators are amazing!!! Grayson does a spectacular job at differentiating between the guys. It’s drool worthy! Marnye and Grayson have ruined me for other audiobooks.

soo much fun

this story was a lot of fun. it will make you laugh and cry.loved Frankie and her boys. great narration.

Loved it!

I wasn't sure I would like the audio book as good as the printed version, but I absolutely loved it! The narrators did a wonderful job of bringing the story and characters to life. Can't wait for the next one.

Love this series

This series is my comfort read, and now audio. Hearing this book come alive is amazing.

I want moree

this was very addictive and I'm so sad they don't have the other books on audible yet. This had a good balance of steam with still having a full story. I don't like when there is some much steam in a book that their is no real story. Not a problem with this book. It was so well written which is no surprise with the author. Can't wait for then next one.

Outstanding performance

Enjoyed this audio book. Sometimes it was hard to keep up with who was saying what with Frankie’s boys. But I don’t have any other complaints.

Just the start

So I came across @heathervlong through Tate James. I had asked what I should start of hers to read and was recommended this series and her 82 street Vandals. So I have read that and will be popping a review to come ♥️ but I just now got around to the untouchable series and I keep asking myself why I didn’t jump sooner

Rules and Roses is the first book in the Untouchable Series. The name of the series comes from Bubba (Ian), Coop, Archer, and Jake. They declared that Frankie was untouchable but because they all liked her and they tried to show it but she didn’t notice- so to them she didn’t seem interested so they wanted her to be left alone as good friends they thought they were doing the right thing.

Frankie just wanted to be like everyone else and date and experience her firsts that most other teens do in high school like attend school dances, go on dates, and maybe even get her first kiss. She finds out she’s been branded untouchable by her friends and she confronts them and they work out things.

There is so much plot and so many things happening like this is her senior year, job stress, home stress, high school drama, and she and her mom don’t have a very good relationship.
Rules and Roses is filled with lots of angst, drama, emotions, secrets, revelations, and lots of heat.

Heather developed some of the best characters that are well rounded, with depth and characteristics that make them likable, easy to relate to, and empathize with. Heather is an author that has jumped her way to the top of my favorites list ♥️

How could they keep that secret.

Frankie has four real good friends who happen to be boys she has know a very long time. It's senior year and she has the chance to date all of them. Coop, Ian, Archie, and Jake each has something special about them that Frankie loves. Frankie has a mother that seems like she does not want to be a mother at all she is selfish. And that cliffhanger says it all. Can't wait to listen to book 2.

Love this series!

The characters are fantastic and the storyline has twists that I can get behind. Even the RH aspect doesn’t feel totally unrealistic.

Too Excited to see what happens next

This was my first experience with Heather’s writing, and I LOVE it!!!! Incredible characters and an intriguing storyline. Medium burn series so far, but hot hot hot. I want an Archie. LOL. I highly recommend this story.
