Review: The Last Rule of Makeups by Nina Crespo

Synopsis

Cori Ross is thanking her lucky stars. Sure, her long-time boyfriend just dumped her, but thatā€™s a good thing. In her rush to find Mr. Right, she realizes she almost settled for Mr. Just Okay. And thatā€™s definitely not okay. So, tonight, sheā€™s out with her friends at the Breakup Bashā€”a private party for women celebrating their break-upsā€”and sheā€™s actually celebrating. Still, it was too close a call. So she makes a deal with herselfā€”no guys for six months.

Unfortunately, just as sheā€™s leaving the club, she runs into her old boyfriend, Grey Lathamā€”the guy sheā€™d always wanted to be Mr. Right. Great. What a time to swear off guys. Maybe she needs to change the dealā€”no relationships for six months. Thereā€™s no reason why she canā€™t have a fling, right? Because Grey still holds the title of the best sex sheā€™s ever had.

Thereā€™s no way this could go wrong. Grey is on his way to international DJ fameā€”heā€™s only in town for a short time, and then heā€™ll be gone again. No harm in burning up the sheets while it lasts.

Too bad neither expected what happened next...

Review

To be honest, it wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be. I enjoyed the story and characters are great, but some scenes were just plain boring. The kind you see in every other contemporary romance novel. Hence the low rating. But I think this book will be perfect for those who like contemporary romance exactly for that reason.

Two people who weren't able to make a relationship work despite of being in love, now have another chance at it. Will they make it work this time or are they just not meant to be together?

I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley.
