Defining the Rules

The Dating Playbook, Book 3

By: Mariah Dietz

Narrated by: Bitsy Hill, Jameson Adams

Proof that I've been cursed: I've fallen for my coach's daughter...

It started with friendship. The best stories always do. Our story sounds unlikely. Bizarre. A fable.

Like wine and cheese and my favorite pair of jeans, things got better over time—too good, it seemed.

Arlo Kostas was the starting running back for Brighton University. His quick smile and sharp wit were enough to disarm even the biggest cynic. And his perfectly defined abs and more perfect face convinced the rest.

I was homesick, counting down the days until I returned home for spring break when we met, clinging to memories I'd been trying to hold onto for years. And then he tipped my world upside down.

Maybe it was bad luck. Perhaps we were jinxed. But things between Arlo and I were doomed right from the very start.

We were supposed to be friends, but lines kept getting blurred. Now, we're Defining the Rules.

Defining the Rules is a complete standalone and the third book in The Dating Playbook series.

Loved it!

This author always writes so much more than a romance. So much emotion and life in stories. Slow burn perfection.

Great story line.

As far as plot and story arch go, this book was quite well developed. I enjoyed that the characters didn’t fall right into one another. A friendship was developed first, making you enjoy the couple. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes romance. Because he’s injured, it’s not the same sports romance vibe. But it’s more from a different perspective of sports.

Added to my collection!

Gosh I loved this story! I found this series years ago when only the first two books were out. Read this book on kindle when it was released and loved this story. I appreciated these books aren’t copy and paste of themselves. They all have their own identity. I won’t call this a friends to lovers. A solid friendship was formed between the two main character and was what a slow burn should be. While it is a sports romance it’s still a little different, football takes a back seat to what is going on. A must listen to!
