Break Your Rules: A Workplace Enemies to Lovers Romantic Comedy : Haven Group #1
Fans of enemies-to-lovers, workplace rivalries, endless banter, and workplace chaos, look no further! Break Your Rules is the first part of your next favourite connected romcom trilogy!
Safiya Manaan is at Haven Luxe to audit the company, no matter who has a problem with it. Even if that problem comes in the form of Ayden Demir—annoying, wears hoodies in the office, doesn't take anything seriously. That Ayden.
Ayden has put everything into Haven Luxe's newest resort, which means he’ll do whatever it takes to ensure Safiya doesn’t get her hands on it. Of course, he wouldn't dream of doing anything to make her job more difficult... Or so he'll continue to tell her.
Safiya and Ayden are going to have to find a way to work with each other, but they never made any promises that they will be nice about it. Through weeks of doing their best to one-up each other, one thing is they’ve lost sight of the line that divides love and hate. But Safiya is a woman of her rules. Rules are important. They maintain order, and civility, and intact hearts. So the question Will Ayden get her to break them for him?

4.5 stars!
I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between Safiya and Ayden. It was spot on the entire book and felt true to the characters throughout. It's something practically expected when you Crack open a rivals/enemies to lovers romance, and this one does not disappoint.
I also thought the sibling relationships with each of them were lovely and enjoyed those scenes alot. (I'm such a sucker for realistic but loving sibling dynamics) It's also nice to see differently-abled representation!
The pranks in the beginning had me cracking up, and the overall push pull of a typical romance was great, but the subplot with the disasters at the site was another thing that made it harder than usual for me to put this one down and do responsible adult things between chapters.
If you like romance with opposite attract vibes, banter, and office pranks where they both fall each other against their will, you need to add this one to the shelf.

Thank you for the ARC. 🥹
I’m having fun reading this book. But, something feels like not complete after reading the epilogue. Looks like we need to anticipate for the book 2 of this series which I believe the fmc & mmc will be Fayez & Zara.
Anyway, good luck for the release day in Feb 2026.
