Description
The first book in the Villains Club series about five billionaire brothers, all anti-heroes you're going to love! Maddox Rule lives a life most men can only dream of. Nothing is out of his reach, thanks to his family’s wealth and power. He wields that control with one goal—his pleasure. But the good life he enjoys comes with strings, and if he wants to keep doing all those things he loves, he has to live up to his family’s expectations. That means taking a wife, even if he doesn’t want one. Not that I have any interest in being shackled to him either. When the man holding the most of my father’s debt, the notoriously cruel Stephen Rule, decides I’d be a perfect wife for his wayward son, I understand the true effect of my father’s lifetime of mistakes. He won’t have to pay for them. I will. Just how I’ll have to do that is up to one man. Maddox Rule.

1By princesskmizzyit’s a plain story with sex scenesRomanticizing…
1By itsshaebruhAbuse and rape. Oh but the guy is hot, so it makes up for it right? Yikes.Awful
1By Dante411xWhy is everything about this so bad? Doesn’t sound like a bad concept, but the execution is just sad. I tried to get past fifty pages but then realized that if I’m trying to read garbage, there’s so much of it out there it doesn’t need to be this. Thank god it was freeAbusive and Immature
2By vogelkbThe author has talent for writing which is why I gave this book a 2nd star, but avoid this story. It’s an abusive and immature relationship. Plus, he’s snorting cocaine amongst all his other mafia type issues. Avoid.What a waste.
1By AngellaLynnetteTotally unrealistic and abusive.Get over it…
5By MsllllllPlease get over your rigid beliefs on sexuality… she clearly desires him maybe more so than he does… keep reading and keep an open mind to what may be “abnormal”, , “ immoral “, or otherwise “alternative “ to your experiences. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. ALPHA males are a rare breed, but easily tamed. Brilliant author, tks for addressing what some of us can only wish for. Rather have an ALpha than a doormat. 🥰DNF and Trigger Warnings
1By ColeetonnDNF The characters had no personal growth. Every argument between the characters was the same. There was no romantic chemistry to give the reader any inclination that the two are eventually supposed to fall for each other. Which in turn makes it come off as hella abusive, even for a dark romance. The first sex scene was 100% a rape scene.Horrible
1By jmaga97If I could give it zero stars I would. This book is horrible. If you like abusive men and male chauvinism then it’s definitely for you. The first time the main characters sleep together he is pretty much forcing her, absolutely nothing sexy about that.Too much force
1By jensing89The relationship had physical and emotional abuse. Very toxic relationship. It seems like the rest of the books in the series will be the same.I love the title Rule by Abbi Cook. Very apropos!
5By seaseeker23This book is titled Rule by Abbi Cook, and it's a dark romance with a forced marriage, so the couple has to grow into loving each other, but they do. Great start to the series! I can't wait to read the other brothers' stories!
