The Dixon Rule (Campus Diaries, 2)

Gah!! This is a shout from the rooftops kind of book! Loaded with banter and chemistry and heartfelt emotion, The Dixon Rule just knocked my freaking socks off. I swear I don't think I have loved a sports romance series like how I just adore Elle Kennedy’s hockey series. Each book is filled with amazing banter, camaraderie, bromances and sisterhood. The Dixon Rule had exactly that and more. Diana and Shane were sexy, addicting and just plain-old-fun!! I loved their banter and how hilarious some of the scenes were.There is no denying that this is a sexy book, but at the same time, it was spending a lot of time being awfully adorable and in doing so it completely won me over. I loved the connection between Diana and Shane. I loved their spitfire banter, fiery attraction and how they realized they had more in common than they originally thought. They definitely were not expecting each other and I loved seeing them fall head over heels. And I loved and adored the underlying fairytale of it all. There was some unexpected angst that was almost as emotionally rewarding as the romance. There were some decidedly heart-tugging moments and littered with these romantic scenes that sometimes took my breath away, which added depth and emotion and rounded out the perfect package that was this book.With this book, Elle Kennedy delivered all of my favorite things about romance. It was funny and adorable, but smoldering with heat in every exchange. It was perfectly balanced and I had so much fun reading it! Honestly, this series is the gift that keeps on giving and I will throw myself at every single new release as long as Elle keeps writing them.

So, The Dixon Rule is good but truly, The Graham Effect is awesome. But TDR is very much worth reading. Just, for me, not up to par as TGE. But again! Very much worth reading.This is Diana Dixon and Shane Lindsey’s story. MUST check trigger warnings. Very important.But love the banter, the spice is nice, there’s lots of fun at the condo complex that Diana and Shane live at. Very funny banter with all of them.Lots of character growth which is always nice to see. Even with a certain adult in Diana’s life.Shane has a little sister who is cute. And his parents are awesome!Be warned too, have tissues at the ready. I very rarely cry when reading but this one really got me. To the actual tissue , blowing my nose, point!I highly recommend and hope you will read it. It’s definitely worth it. Happy reading!!!

Oh my! This is a book worth shouting about! The Dixon Rule, packed with warmth, humor, and genuine passion, has completely won my heart. I don't believe I've ever liked a sports romance series as much as I do Elle Kennedy's hockey series. There is incredible sisterhood, bromances, and banter in every book. The Dixon Rule has all of this and more. Diana and Shane were seductive, addictive, and just plain fun!! I enjoyed their banter and how funny some of the situations were.There is no doubting that this is a sexy book, but it also invests a lot of time bing sweet, which utterly won me over. I cherished Diana and Shane's relationship. Their blazing connection, spitfire banter, and realization that they shared more in common than they initially assumed were all so endearing.I really enjoyed seeing them fall in love because they were clearly not anticipating each other. And the underlying romance of it all was something I cherished and appreciated. The unanticipated angst was almost as satisfying emotionally as the romance.There were some heartfelt moments, as well as romantic ones that stole my breath away, adding depth and passion to the perfect package that was this book.Elle Kennedy captured all of my favorite aspects of romance in this book. It was endearing and humorous, yet every encounter was blazing with fire. I really enjoyed reading it, and it was well-balanced. To be honest, this series is the gift that never ends, and as long as Elle continues to write them, I will devour every new release.

This was a good book! It was a pretty fast read and one I enjoyed and would recommend. Is it as good as the Graham Effect or The Deal? No. Is it a super unique plot line? No. But will it satisfy your itch for a classicly good university romance? Yes.-Dual POV-“playboy” persona MMC who is getting over his ex, has a “golden retriever” personality-cheerleader/dancer FMC who has a bit of a “black cat” personality but not super intense-fake dating turns FWB turns into real feelings-4/5 ⭐️-3/5🌶️For me, this was missing some of the charm that Graham Effect had! Graham Effect had me invested right from the start, whereas this book was good but I could skip through a few scenes here and there.I would love to see a best friends to lovers or childhood friends trope from Elle next! Fingers crossed!

This is enemies-to-lovers gold! I thoroughly enjoyed this book, so much so that I flew through the pages.Shane and Diana do not get along, well mostly it’s Diana not liking Shane, for valid reasons-even if they don’t tell the whole story about the real Shane.I loved how this started out fake. They both needed help for different reasons so it made sense to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend-and as much as these two don’t get along, they didn’t hesitate to come to one another’s aid when needed. I absolutely loved that about them. These two have insane chemistry and so much in common, they couldn’t help but fall for one another. It was such a fun journey to watch.They had some of the best banter ever, but there is really no true animosity between them. It was all playful and fun and adorable and sweet and they just love to push each other’s buttons and knew how to do it perfectly. This one had me laughing so much.The routine they fell into while pretending was so great and things between them shifted organically. I loved watching the progression of their feelings and relationship as the book went on.I enjoyed that they discovered and understood more about themselves and their lives better once they started this relationship. It was nice to see; they were absolutely wonderful together. Such a strong connection with all the delicious tension and spice.There were a few moments that caught me by surprise with the added emotion I felt in this book and it just made me fall in love deeper with this story and Shane and Diana. I won’t say too much more beyond that, but I do want to mention that the author has included a content warnings at the beginning of the book. Please make sure you check that if needed.We even got a tease as to what’s coming next. I can not was for more of this friend group, they are so much fun and so supportive.5 Stars

Nada de novo sob o sol por aqui!Eu sou viciada em off campus e qualquer coisa que remeta a esse universo.Li off campus sabe-se lá quantas vezes. Quando descobri que tinha um spin off, acho que até chorei de emoção. Elle, com Briar U, você foi luz (menos the dare, porque abandonei. Sorry). Devorei the graham effect no minuto que saiu e óbvio que voltei pra ver Diana e Shane.Eu já imaginava que ia gostar deles desde a primeira implicância em the graham effect e eu não estava errada. O livro é gostoso demais. O casal tem química desde a primeira vez que Shane olhou pra loira de saia que o avisou para ficar longe das suas cheerleaders.Infelizmente, a única coisa que eu achei que faltou foi a presença dos meus quartetos preferidos. Ok, nesse ainda teve o Tucker, a Jamie, a Sabrina e até Mike Hollis e Rupi Miller, mas ainda assim, senti saudades deles e eu juro que aceitaria qualquer migalha (eu sei que aqui não foram apenas migalhas, mas poxa, custava colocar o Tucker e o Conelly só mais em uma cena?)Mas, o livro continua sendo bom e super recomendado por mim!! Esse livro me fez perceber como eu amo clichês com vizinhos. Por favor, Elle, continue!!!O que eu não gostei mt (além do pouco tempo dos meus amores) foi que, assim como no livro do Logan, o livro se passa nas férias e isso me fez sentir falta das interações com os personagens secundários. Cheguei a sentir falta do Case, pelo amor de Deus.Mas é isso. Mesmo eu sentindo falta de algumas coisas, continua ser um livro da Elle Kennedy ambientado na Briar U, o que por si só já garante 5 estrelas. Vejo vocês no próximo! 😘

Ich liebe alles an diesem Buch! Diese Reihe ist der Hammer, Gisele & Ryder waren schon 👌.Wirklich alles, der Schlagabtausch am Anfang (ja ok Di war am Anfang echt gemein zu Shane),das flirten (Shane ist sooo 🫠), es hat sowas von geknistert…und die Freundschaft zwischen den beiden…Elle Kennedy hat in diesem wie auch schon bei „GE“ die richtige Mischung aus Humor, ernsthafte Themen, Beziehung Familie & Freunde, emotionale Bindung und liebe & 🥵🫠🔥.Ich muss sagen ich bin total begeistert wieviele Highlights ich schon dieses Jahr gelesen habe, angefangen Lauren Asher Lakefront Billionares, L.J. Shen Coldheart Casanova ( das beste dieser Reihe) und jetzt das! Ich bin im Himmel 😊

Muito Bom!

Shane and Diana are not into each other. They are always bickering and taunting each other. However, they are neighbours and due to tmsome external circonstances on both side, they decide to enter in a fake relationship.Their story is sweet but also deals with serious subjects. Well done.
