Many times while reading romances, I complain that they are too long, that too much filler and smut is crammed into a story that could have been better wrapped up with 100+ less pages. But for the case of The Jordynn Rules, that is actually the opposite of the issue.
I really enjoyed this. I was hesitant to start after reading the prologues because oh boy, Jordynn and Knox were messy. And frankly, Knox trying to convince himself that he was loyal to his long distance girlfriend, Aria while making out and intimately and emotionally connecting with Jordynn was so laughably authentic. Ain't it just like a man to pretend that because there was not penis to vagina action it's not cheating. But I persisted and I'm so happy I did.
I really loved the dynamics between Jordynn and Knox. They were sweet and soft. The dialogue is what shined here. Every conversation felt like it was happening right next to me. The cadence, the tone, the emotions were clearly on page. Everything about this was wonderfully done. I just wanted more. I wanted to see the relationship building when they were in college. I wanted to know what had really happened in those 7 years apart. I wanted more relationship building and character building for both Jordynn and Knox. It just felt slightly unfinished overall, like there was obviously more to the story and we just weren't going to get it.
Overall, I obsessed with Tracy Gray's writing. The talent is clear in the execution. I'm definitely going to need to read everything else they have written.
