Rules of Love - Lauren Blakely

THE VIRGIN RULE BOOK

(Rules of Love Book 1)

A sexy, brother’s best friend sports romance!

Let me make a few things clear. I didn’t go to the wedding intending to dance with the best man, to dare him to show me a very sexy pic on his phone, or to accidentally kiss him in the hotel elevator after the reception ended.

But you know how it goes. Things just happen at weddings…

The next day, Crosby and I agree to put all those shenanigans behind us. The fun-loving, stupidly gorgeous, all-star baseball player might be my brother’s best friend, but he’s my friend too and has been for years, so it’s easy to move on, especially because I have a high-profile business to run.

But since he’s newly single and I’m always single, it turns out we both desperately need plus ones. We agree to “publicly date” over the next two weeks of galas, parties and events before his baseball season begins.

The only trouble is the more time I spend with Crosby, the more I keep imagining how much I want him to take my V-card.

And when I broach the possibility with Crosby, his answer surprises the hell out of me.

THE VIRGIN GAME PLAN

(Rules of Love Book 2)

A forbidden romance with the coach’s daughter wasn’t part of my game plan.

The woman I want is as off-limits as they come.

I had an excuse two years ago when I met her on campus. She interviewed me for a story on major league baseball’s rising stars, and we shared a hot, passionate night that ended far too soon, and without a mention of who her father was.

Now I know the innocent but sexy woman I can’t stop thinking about is the coach’s daughter.

That means her dad is the guy who determines if I bat fourth in the starting lineup in every game, or ride the bench.

All the more reason to resist alluring, confident, brainy Reese every time I run into the reporter-turned-sports publicist.

That ought to be easy enough, until the time she confesses she’s still carrying her V card, and she’s been wanting me to cash it in since the day we met.

Staying away from her is going to be harder than resisting a fastball down the middle.

Especially since I’m pretty sure she’s the one who got away, and letting her slip through my fingers again would be a rookie mistake.

THE VIRGIN REPLAY

(The Rules of Love Book 3)

A virgin, an athlete, a fake romance…and only one bed in the hotel room.

Following rules shot me to the top of my game as an all-star baseball player, and the golden rule is this — don’t hookup with your teammate’s sister.

But ask her to be your fake date when you desperately need one for a family wedding?

Nothing in the guy code against that. Plus, the flirty, feisty Sierra’s my friend too, so why the hell not pretend we’re madly in lust for two days in Hawaii? No hardship in a make believe kiss here, a fake smooch there, as long as we don’t cross any dangerous lines.

Then, the hotel books us into the same suite. Which means she’s showering near me, putting on itty bitty bikinis in the same room, sliding into that king-size bed wearing only a black lace cami.

But I resist…until the night she tells me she’s been waiting for me to be her first.

And there’s nothing fake about my desire to say yes, even though that’s definitely against the code. But, maybe only if someone catches feelings?

And neither one of us will.

Until I do…

THE VIRGIN SCORECARD


(The Rules of Love Book 4)

A sexy standalone forbidden sports romance!

I’ve got a problem. After a dozen failed dates – but who’s counting – I’m done hunting for Mr. Right.

I’m more than ready to cash in my V-card, and at this point I’ll gladly hand it over to Mr. Right Now.

When I go out with my friends for a night on the town, I bump into the perfect candidate.

A guy from my past who kissed like a dream but took off before we could say goodbye.

The swoony, charming pro athlete is back in the city and he’s as ready to help me with my project as he is to win baseball games.

The next morning, I’m deliciously satisfied and I know I’ve chosen wisely.

But when he leaves again, I can’t stop wondering — what if Mr. Right Now is actually Mr. Right?

And how do I get him back?

Mr. Right Now is one of two novellas in the Virgin Scorecard — a collection of sexy, swoony romances between virgins and athletes that completes the bestselling RULES OF LOVE series. This collection also includes a short story in the baseball world.

To my best friend, lover, friend, partner and associate

(You know who I'm talking about.)


Introduction

Love. It's simple, right? You love your family and friends and they love you too. You find a partner you love and he loves you back. And you don't even try to do it on purpose - it happens by itself. That's right, but if you're reading this book, then you know very well that everything is much, much more complicated.

Difficulties almost always arise between people in love. Because people are complex creatures. Love can be tested and tested for strength. Sometimes we fall in love with the wrong person. We can love too much or, conversely, not enough. We may feel love but not know how to show it. We may think that love is enough, when in fact it is not. We may work hard to find it, and we may doubt that we will ever succeed. And sometimes we think that love is still there, but we feel that it is gradually fading, and we do not know how to revive its former brilliance.

Love lifts us up to heaven and throws us down. And almost always, love is associated with happiness—and in truth, that is what we ultimately want from life. And it's natural. Imagine yourself in your old age for a moment. You are sitting in the sun next to your partner (who has always been and remains your best friend, confidant and lover), surrounded by friends and family. Children are playing on the lawn in front of you, laughter and happy voices are heard everywhere. Yeah, I get it, it's like the most stupid and sappy movie ever. But honestly, don't you deep down wish you were old like that?

It all comes down to building a strong loving relationship that will last throughout your life. And to the opportunity to gather around you people who will make you happy and themselves enjoy communicating with you.

It all comes down to love. This six-letter word is the subject of more poetry, prose, and sermons than any other. The very basic human emotion, which, it would seem, is simple, but for many it turns out to be much more difficult than they expected. We are taught to love our neighbor, they say that love makes the world go round, that all we need is love ...

Yes, yes, that's right, but how does this happen to you personally? How do you manage to find true love, keep it for many years and not let it fade? Maybe she is the basic human instinct, but not everything is so simple. Do you agree? We complicate things ourselves. Relationships fall apart, friends leave us, relatives are far away when we need it most, children blame us for all their failures.

It's easy to say, "Love is all you need," but that's not exactly true in real life. All we need is love plus a manual to use it. Personally, I have never been able to figure out any instructions, so I'll try to invent my own.

To begin with, I must admit that I am just as much of a loser as anyone else. But as you probably already know if you've read the other books of my Rules, the best thing I've ever done in life is to observe other people. I can't always do everything right on my own, but I see people doing things that really do all the way to . So here's what I did. I have studied a wide variety of human relationships - in couples, families and circles of friends. And very quickly I found out that there are really few of those who succeed immediately, while the rest have to make at least some effort. So what do the most successful people do? Is there anything they know that we can learn too? This is what I talk about in this book. Read for health! I really believe in sympathetic magic - if you do all the things that happy people do, you can become just as happy.

I've compiled here the top 100 rules I've learned from observing people. I came up with a few of them myself, having learned from my own experience. Those who adhere to these rules to the maximum find a partner who makes them happy and can keep the relationship fresh and enjoy it for the rest of their lives. They have the most friendly families, their children tend to spend as much time with them as possible. Such people have the most faithful and worthy friends, always ready to help them. These are the ones who intuitively follow the rules.

Instruction manual for love seems a little strange. This is not a sex guide - if you want one, go get it for yourself, because you won't find that kind of advice here. Rather, it is a collection of rules of conduct that you must follow in life in order to learn how to love and be loved better. There are practical rules here, rules related to feelings, rules easier and more difficult: I just collected everything that, from my point of view, will help you find love and treat it with dignity.

In fact, for the most part, you already know all this, even if you don't realize it. Just common sense. As with all my books, these are not revelations, but reminders. And nothing else is worth waiting for. Love is not so complicated that there could be some secrets here, hitherto unknown; it's just that sometimes we deviate a little from the right path and need to be reminded of what is really important and what we should strive for in order for our relationship to be deep and long.

To make it easier for you to use the book, I have divided it into parts. These are sections on finding love, maintaining relationships, breaking up (not too much, because you certainly don't want to linger on this issue for a long time), family, and friendship. Some of the rules can equally well be attributed to any of the sections, so I placed them where, in my opinion, they fit best. If you disagree with my choice, please forgive me. And in the end, I left room for a few rules that really apply to all sections at once, which is why I called them "Rules for everyone."

I have been collecting these rules over the years, but I am convinced that they do not exhaust the richness of the science of love. Thank God there is always more to learn. Perhaps it is you who will be able to discover some fundamental principles that I missed. If so, I will be happy to learn from you and supplement my collection of rules with them. You can write to me at Richard.Templar@RichardTemplar. co.uk.

Rules for finding love

So, our book is called "Rules of Love", but what if you haven't found this love yet? Or maybe it seems to you that you have found it, but you are not quite sure ... Do you doubt whether your new partner - is really the same , the only one? How to make sure of this and how to act while you understand your feelings?

Yes, this time you are determined not to make mistakes. You will no longer say or do something wrong, you will not expect too much or, conversely, underestimate your partner. So what should you do while you are searching or checking the most recent option? What should you pay attention to first of all?

The first section of the book will help you both recognize the real Mr. One (or Miss One) and keep him (her) close to you.

And even if you already have an established relationship, it is possible that you should also look here. Perhaps the rules in this section will remind you why you once ended up together, and shed light on how things are in the present. Plus, naturally, if you have to help someone else find true love, you will be in a better position to offer the support and advice you need to a loved one embarking on this difficult journey.

Rule 1: Be yourself

Do you ever feel like changing yourself when you meet someone you care about? Or try to become what you think this person wants to see next to him? It seems to you that you must come across as a very intelligent person, or a strong personality, or be silent and mysterious. Well, at least stop making yourself look like an idiot and not joke out of place or seem pathetic (th) in difficult situations.

To be honest, nothing will work, and it's not worth wasting time and effort on this. You may be able to make the desired impression for one or two evenings, at best - for one or two months, but there is no way to save the image forever. And if you really think that the person you met is is the same , the only one worth thinking about the prospect of spending the next fifty years with him (her). And what, all fifty years you will pretend? Can you imagine this?

With difficulty, isn't it? And how much do you really want to hide behind an invented window for the rest of your life? Just imagine a life in which you can't relax for a second and be yourself for fear of losing the one who's around. And what if, after a certain number of weeks, months, or years, he still finds out that you are pretending? It is unlikely that he will be very pleased with this, just as you are unlikely to be happy if you find that your chosen one was not the person he tried to seem.

I am not saying that you should not open a new page from time to time and try to improve yourself in some way. On the contrary, it is necessary and important, and not only in love relationships. Yes, you should try to be more organized or less grumpy. It is very useful to work on your behavior. I am talking here solely about trying to change the fundamental properties of your personality. This is impossible, and trying to convincingly produce the “necessary”, in your opinion, impression, you will only exhaust yourself.

So be yourself. Let everything be clear at once. And if it turns out that the potential partner you met is not dreaming about you, at least you won’t have time to get too deep before it turns out. And you know what? Maybe, in fact, he does not need a wife of seven spans in his forehead. Maybe she is not at all attracted to taciturn, harsh men. Maybe he likes your offbeat sense of humor. Maybe she needs just such a companion who needs care?

You see, if you pretend, you can attract someone who will actually be fascinated not by you at all, but by your imagined image. And why do you need it? Somewhere, after all, there is someone who is looking for exactly the same as you, with all your advantages and disadvantages. And one more thing: this person will not see certain qualities as shortcomings or virtues. For him, all of them will be components of your unique and most attractive personality for him. And he will be right.

LET IT BE BETTER EVERYTHING WILL BE CLEAR IMMEDIATELY.

Rule 2. Before starting a new life, sort out the old one

Life throws and shakes each of us from time to time, this is inevitable. Some more, some less. Of course, in trials we are tempered, so in the long run, such kicks in life are not so harmful. But at a particular moment, you may feel the need to recover before entering the arena again.

If your latest love failure has left you emotionally crushed, don't think about looking for a new partner just yet. First, come to your senses and repair the damage. Otherwise, you, firstly, will not be able to appear before a potential companion in your true image; and secondly, you will still be too preoccupied with yourself to appreciate it.

And if you are again disappointed (and this happens to everyone), then you will probably come out of this story even more beaten than you were before it began. But even if you are lucky enough to find someone really loving and caring, your relationship will not be completely satisfying for both of you if you are not ready for it at that moment.

One of my friends was completely emotionally shattered after breaking up with her partner. Then she met a kind, caring, ready to protect her man. She seemed to be exactly the one she needed. For the next two years, he was by her side, providing all kinds of support, until she again became the strong and independent woman she was before. And what happened then? Their relationship came to an end. She was no longer the one he fell in love with. Yes, many men need just such - strong and independent - women, but not this one. He loved fragile ladies, requiring care and careful handling.

Therein lies the danger. Even if you find yourself in such a state of an ideal partner, he will be ideal only for the person you are at the moment, and not for the one to which you will eventually return, having come to your senses after an emotional shock. I will not argue that such relationships obviously end in nothing, but this really happens in the vast majority of cases.

So take your time, stop, hide in a quiet place and heal your wounds calmly. Spend time with friends and family, and put aside thoughts about a new partner for now. And when you consider that the recovery period is over, choose someone who is approximately on an equal footing with you, that is, a person whose emotional trauma has been sufficiently healed. Because, as you understand, the described mechanism works both ways. When two adequate, full-fledged people meet, who no longer experience acute pain from past failures, they have the opportunity to get to know each other in the true light and start relationships exactly as they will continue later.

SO DON'T HURRY, STOP, HIDE IN A QUIET PLACE AND LET YOUR WOUNDS QUIETLY

Rule 3. You can't be happy together until you learn to be happy alone relationships with men.

Surely you have met such people - or maybe you yourself are such - for whom the end of one connection means the immediate beginning of another. Once I asked her why this was so; she replied that she simply did not like to be on her own, and therefore she was making every effort to ensure that this did not happen to her. When we met her, she was with a very worthy man, who, however, was unable to give her the love she deserved. "Why are you putting up with this?" I asked her. In response, she patiently explained to me that now she had no choice, because if she left this man, she would be left alone, and for her it was unbearable.

In the end, however, everything went wrong for them, and the man left her. She braced herself for the total collapse of her life that was to follow. When I saw her a month or two later, I asked how she was doing. “Nice at the moment,” she replied. “I thought I was done for, but it turned out to take longer than I thought.”

It seems to me that after about six months she eventually realized that not everything was lost. Three months later, she met a wonderful man who was quite serious. He wanted to live with her, but she resisted. She liked being on her own!

The fact is that this woman was holding on to a bad relationship and a person who was not worthy of her, solely out of fear of being left alone. But as soon as she realized that it was possible to be happy alone, she raised the bar and no longer agreed to a second-rate relationship. What was she afraid of now? In the "worst" case, she would be left alone again - and this was no longer a problem for her.

The moral is this: you need to learn to be happy and self-confident alone. Then you will never find yourself in a bad situation just because of the fear of being alone. If something goes wrong, you can safely leave. Too many people continue to stay in relationships that are not good for them, for fear of being alone with themselves. But those who play by the rules know how to enjoy loneliness, so they choose a partner for themselves, guided only by reasonable reasons and considerations.

If you're okay with that, you'll only live with the person you really love and who can make you happy. Being alone is great, but being with someone like that is so much better. If this is not the case, you are free to leave.

TOO MANY CONTINUE TO HAVE RELATIONSHIPS IN WHICH THERE IS NOTHING GOOD FOR THEM FOR THEIR FEAR OF BEING ALONE WITH THEM.
