I have one rule to live by: Don't Date a DILF.
I've seen the consequences of blurring the boundaries between teaching and dating, and I am not about to take that kind of risk.
But I didn’t count on Hunter Rhodes walking into my school. Never expected that the broad-shouldered, stubble-jawed, absolute glory of a man would be such a sweet and caring father. Or that as a seemingly straight man, he might decide he wants me.
If my Nana has her way...I'll be in love with someone by the end of the school year, but there's only one man who tempts me.
With her matchmaking becoming overwhelming and half the single women in Granville setting their sights on Hunter, we're both feeling the pressure. Faking a relationship could get everyone off our backs.
It seems like fun and games for Hunter, but separating pretend feelings from real won't be so simple for me. And then there's that rule...
Can I date a DILF without disaster—or will all my fears come true?
Don't Date a DILF is Book 1 of Rules We Break, a spin-off series from Games We Play, set in the small, quirky town of Granville, where nosy residents meddle in one another's lives, great friendships are made, and silly innuendos are a way of life.
My Two Pennies' Worth
This is Kevin's brother, Hunter's, story. Hunter returned to Granville during Kevin's story, a single Dad returning home after an unwanted split with his wife. Now a year has passed, he's divorced and his 10 year old is living with him. And a newly single man in the small town means fresh meat for all the single ladies.
His response, to start fake dating the local high school teacher. A man.
This is similar to Kevin's story in that it's an older man discovering (and embracing) a new side to his sexuality but that's where the similarities end. Kevin's story is sassy and joyful and I read it without a care. Hunter's story gave me low level anxiety from about 70%, issues with the ex-wife, the kid's reaction to their 'real' relationship, and the problem at Clark’s old school that had sent him scurrying home.

First of a new series but plenty of friends, old and new, to meet.
Excerpt
Clark’s voice filtered in from the hallway.
“Nana, for the last time, I was trying… Yeah, well, maybe I should run all your proposed dates through my friends first if you think Percy Helix was a good choice!”
I smirked at his sass, then had to muffle a laugh when he followed it up with, “No, I’m not being sassy. I’m sorry, Nana.”
Fuck, that was adorable.
Clark was a grown man who had his shit together far more than I ever would, and yet here he was, getting scolded by his grandmother. There was something so sweet and wholesome about that.
He glanced toward the classroom and caught sight of me through the doorway. He held up one finger, in the universal sign to wait a minute.
“We can talk more later, Nana. I have a parent here for a meeting, okay? But I really don’t think another setup is a good idea… Because I don’t. Because it’s uncomfortable!” He groaned theatrically. “Yes, okay, we’ll talk later.”
He lowered the phone and turned toward me.
I winced. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”
He shrugged. “Well, you were at the pub, so…not like you didn’t know already.”
“Your nana feels pretty strongly about setting you up with a date, huh?”
“Unfortunately.”
“My mother hassles me every time we talk too,” I said.
“Must be something in the water,” Clark said with a pout.
Still adorable.
“Yeah, I actually lost my cool at work. Yelled at Tucker about how everyone in this town wants me to date. You know what we should do?”
“What?”
“Go on a date together.” I laughed. “That would shut everyone up.”
Clark’s eyes widened. “I think it would do the opposite.”
“You know what I mean though. Can’t set up a couple of guys who are already dating.” I wiggled my eyebrows. “Genius, right?”
