Picture this: Oceans 8 but with a hot body guard who is fiercely loyal to only you and your entire con artist family is seemingly out to kill you. Jillian Moorewood, daughter of heiress and con-artist and the only sensible Moorewood. When things went south, Jillian went to prison for her family with the ultimatum that while she was in they would go legit. Well Jillians out, and not only are they not law-abiding citizens, they are neck deep in their next job. Killing her for the inheritance. Enter hot body guard, loving but criminal great aunt and undercover allies. Jillian kicks the cons to the curb and sees if maybe the hot body guard would be willing to, be more? A fun, flirty fast paced read for anyone who loves a heist and a strong heroine. The love story was sweet, steamy and swoony and I ate it up.

Such a DELICIOUS book! Loved every page! I loved how smart Jillian was and how human. These people were her family and try as she might, she just had to treat them as such even though they had no problem treating her as a burden. I loved the bit of romance she found, but it was one of the many sidelines, not the main story! The cast of characters was great and the twists and turns so much fun! This was my first Dimon and it won't be my last.

The feel of Moorewood Family Rules is perfectly modern romance, but the story is much more than the romance. It's more about the family and all of the quirky characters and the crazy hijinks. I quite enjoyed this story; I gobbled it up in record time. I look forward to the next one!

This one is going to be really fun to recommend. Think "Knives Out" - style plot, pacing and crazy cast of characters. Although not truly a mystery, I think it will attract readers who like offbeat mysteries as well. On page one, Jillian lands on the grounds of her family's oceanside estate in a helicopter. She's just been released from three years in prison and wants to send the message that she's back and in charge. She comes from a family of con artists and grifters. She went to prison rather than turn them all in, but she's had enough. She wants the family to go legitimate. It's a tall ask for her relatives, who know no other way of life. She may have the determination to succeed, helped by a handsome new bodyguard who provides some romantic relief. Great story that readers who are looking for something light and fun will enjoy.

This was so much fun!! This is a perfect beach read for most patrons, and has a great quick paste with solid characters. Highly recommend for collections with strong contemporary romance or mystery reading populations that wants a change of pace or book with crossover appeal

Lots of snappy, fast-paced dialogue and dark humor in this story about a con-family. It almost read more like a short story or a play in its pacing and style. Jillian and Beck's romance is closed door and not the focus of the story; their chemistry strongest during their banter and blunt, humorous conversations. This was a fun, quirky read.
