Can a blackmailing billionaire thaw the heart of an ice princess?
Searching for an escape from her life, heiress Anika De Winter takes up her friend’s offer to get her into the exclusive Totally Five Star hotel in Monaco. It isn’t until she arrives that she finds her friend’s intentions, although likely good, thrust her right into the autocratic hands of billionaire venture capitalist Luca Rossi.
In need of a diversion, Luca had planned to spend the weekend with ‘a friend’ but finds she’s been replaced with icy Anika. He’s never been quite as intrigued by a woman before. So he proposes a deal. She spends time with him and he doesn’t say a word about how she got the room.
Trapped, Anika shouldn’t feel so attracted to devilishly handsome Luca. But the chemistry between them is explosive and it doesn’t take long for them to succumb to passion. But will it burn out when their time in Monaco ends?
Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of spanking and food play.
An inveterate traveller, Kait has set foot on three continents and has the other four on her bucket list (yes, even Antarctica). Until she can see them all, she writes romances that take readers to far flung locales, often to places she’s been or hopes to one day go. For now, she’s settled in England where she spends most of her time plotting, scribbling ideas on every available scrap of paper and trying out dialogue on her cat.

Anika is the Ice Princess or that is what everyone in the tabloids call her. She is like the diamonds that her family name are named for. Only really no one tries to understand the real Anika. She just wants to get away from all the tabloids that are talking about her being left at the altar. Looks like her friend has a place for her to go and relax. Monaco where there are no tabloids and where all the rich goes to relax.
Luca is a billionaire that just wants to relax and spend time with a woman to spend his time with. When he goes to the room to pick the woman up that he made the room up for and notices someone else he can’t seem to bring himself to walk away from Anika. There is just something about her that makes him unable to leave her alone.
So what becomes a regular vacation for the two of them is anything but regular. I like how the author brings them together and the chemistry is something you feel coming off the pages. I have to say that I have found myself another new author, and I just can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I don’t know if I want it to be better than this one or not. I just feel in love with this one.
I really took notice of this book and couldn’t seem to do anything else once I read it. I can say that this is one of my favorites of the year. Will I find a better one? I don’t know. I loved the authors writing style and it was never boring, even at the beginning. I will have to say that there is some BDSM qualities in this book. Nothing dark just playing around with the edges of it.
So I will be waiting for the next book in this series and I would say that you really need to give this book a try.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and as part of the book's blog tour promotions.
I was introduced to the Totally 5 Star line a few months ago, and I liked the concept of the series. I especially wanted to read about Luca Rossi the moment I was introduced to him. Additionally, I have also read from Kait Gamble before, and I really enjoy her style.
That's why it shouldn't come as a surprise to find that I truly liked Breaking Rossi's Rules. First of all, the main characters were explosive together. They just had that chemistry that I enjoyed. The hot loads of sex scenes probably upped my love for this book as well. Lastly, I liked the story of this book.
Out of the fast, steamy reads I've read so far this year, I think this rates way up than most. It's not going to be the best book of the year for me, but I have to say that it was well worth the time I spent reading and enjoying every page. Good job to the author for providing us readers with a relatable, luxurious, and sexy romance that definitely entertains her fans and readers.
Romantic escapism at its best. This is a great book with snappy dialogue, steamy sex scenes and glamorous characters with relatable personalities. Kait's style of writing is to let the characters reveal themselves to readers slowly so that even though things developed rather quickly for Anika and Luca, you're not left feeling dissatisfied with how things turned out. This book is definitely one worth recommending!
