“Stick to the rules and you won’t have a
problem working for this arrogant, sanctimonious cad.”
The Rules of DNR: How to Survive Working for Cole Lawson
Do Not
Emails are meant to be sent to yourself only—never to be re-read or responded
to.
Vent
about your mean boss and don’t focus on the scruff on his chin. Ignore the
butterflies that flutter as he stares back at you and concentrate on his
condescending tone.
I wish I’d
listened.
I wish I’d
never drank my body weight in vodka and sent him a venting email, telling him
exactly what I really thought about his Lycra-wrapped package and the way he
makes my body hum.
The last
thing I needed was to break those DNR rules and send an email to my boss.
Work is
about to get a lot more interesting. What have I got myself into?
Review
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
Friends to enemies to lovers. Cole is an idiot. He has been in love with Letty for a long time but didn't know how to deal with his feelings. He pushed her away and, when she comes to work for him, he treats her really badly. To cope with his bullish behaviour, she writes emails to herself cataloging his bad treatment of her.
Letty is one strong girl. How she put up with him is a mystery and many would have crumbled. But I loved how she was able to give it back to him at times. The sexual tension between them is simmering away below the surface and it will be explosive when it bubbles over.
I loved this book and how M.R. Field took her time in telling this story, allowing me to savour every single word. It was funny, poignant, serious, light all at the same time.

Excerpt
I stand and move my laptop to the other side of the desk and shuffle in my chair, tidying around it before watering my bamboo plant. My water bottle is empty, so I walk to the bathroom to refill it; I open the door and freeze.
Oh, my God.
Standing in the opened shower door is a very naked, wet, lean, and did I mention naked, Cole. The water continues to fall across his body and I’m trapped looking at him. How is water not going everywhere? His left arm is up against the wall as his other hand is moving up and down his cock. My pulse quickens and my grip tightens on the doorknob. I stand mesmerised, watching his shoulder muscles move with every stroke.
Holy shit he’s filled out since I saw him shirtless at the beach last. I can’t get over what my fingers ran over last night. He groans and I bite my lip, taking one more peek at his hand and then bum. Yes, it looks even better out of suit pants.
I remember squeezing that.
Okay. Not helping my libido. Time to do something about it.
I step in and close the door, flicking the lock behind me. Cole’s head turns to me, his hand halting, still grasping his hard cock. I run my eyes down his body and lick my bottom lip. I watch his taut muscles as I rest my eyes on his hand. His thumb brushes over the head of his cock and warmth gathers between my thighs.
I want him inside me so badly but his hand enthrals me. I walk towards him and join him in the shower room, closing that door behind me as well. My gaze flicks up to his. Water runs down the back of his head, covering his hot body.
The open doorway makes it almost impossible for me to not join him. But I want to watch him.
“I dare you,” I beg.
“To do what, Letty?” He asks seductively. Luring me in, making me move closer.
“Show me.” I move my hand towards my chest. “I want you to finish.”
“I’ll show you what you do to me.” His voice deepens, his eyes darkening. His elbow tenses. His hand tightens. The head of his cock throbs. He shifts his hand up along his shaft, and my eyes couldn’t leave him if I tried.
