The Dixon Rules by Elle Kennedy
The Campus Diaries series #2. New adult romance, HFN. Fake relationship, friends with benefits troupes. Diverse.
Diana Dixon has a lot going on between rehearsals for a dance competition, two jobs, and an ex-boyfriend that won’t go away. She doesn’t want anything to do with the hot hockey player, Shane Lindley, who has slept his way through her entire cheer squad.
Shane has recently moved into the same building as Diana. He’s done with random hookups, and still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend who broke up with him. He asks Diana to pretend they’re together when his ex shows up and soon they find it’s a benefit they can both use. Fake soon turns to sizzling heat as they spend time together.

🎧 I listened to an audiobook of this story narrated by Erin Mallon and Corvin King in alternating POV chapters. These two narrators perform with great intensity making it easy to follow and really be engaged in the performance. Keep the windows rolled up as these college age characters enjoy a lot of sex. 🤣 Hot and panty melting! There is also some angst as expected as well with a parental death and a separate case of physical assault. Both of which had me crying.
Edited recording corrections are clear as the volume level changes for those. A bit annoying but those will bring you back to present rather than inactive listening.
Overall I thought the performances were wonderful and representative of the age group.
I listened to the book at my regular preferred speed of 1.5 which was the best for conversational comfort.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley and publisher Dreamscape Select. ( )
