Racial Tensions Flare as Hot as the Passion in Rule Breaker, a Modern-day Romeo and Juliet Story
Leilani Kealoha wants to be set free. Of family expectations. Of generations of prejudice.
Chafing at rules made by the proud Hawaiian men in her family, she yearns to discover herself and hungers to explore the world. Her adventuresome heart? Longs for something even greater, deeper.
The last thing she expects is an East Coast haole surfer to hold the key to everything.
Mason Price is done walking his parents’ path. Done with social acceptance—with cold politics.
On a surfing quest to reinvent himself, Mase finds an exotic beauty standing on his towel. But it’s her feisty bargaining that catches him off guard. When he challenges her with a “Truth or Shots” drinking game, she unwittingly reveals more than she’d intended about herself…and him.
The raw truth stuns him: She’s suffered like he has, is lost like he is—keeps secrets like he does.
But will young love and shared situations be enough to conquer racial and cultural divides?
Lines in the sand…were meant to be crossed.
***Rule Breaker is a standalone, full-length new adult romance told in dual POV. Due to mature themes and adult language, this book is for those 18 and older.***

Ruthie – ☆☆☆
I find this a really difficult book to review. I loved the first book and was so happy to get the latest in the series. This was completely different, and whilst I liked the story as a whole, it was an incredibly slow read. The surfer setting was fun, but maybe as a non-surfer I couldn't entirely get into it the level of detail.
Lani was so much older than the 19 years that she was, both in the sense of what she had done, as well as being an old soul. I liked the twist in her tale right at the end, but at the same time it caused me to enjoy something earlier in the story less, because I was worrying unnecessarily...
I honeymooned on Maui, so I enjoyed reading about a place I remembered – although I was mostly blind to the racism that is so evident in this story. It evoked perfectly the amazing mixture of wild, both mountain and shore.
