About this listen

Davey’s revised rule nyumber one: A good Daddy will love his boy with all his heart.

Davey Hendrickson doesn’t mind being forever single when he’s got his bestie at his side. It’s not that he wants to be single. He’s spent most of his adult life searching for his own perfect Daddy. Even if he’s not naturally submissive, someone that fabulous is obviously meant to be a boy...right? Over the years, he’s dated every type of Daddy imaginable but not one of them could come close to meeting the requirements from his ridiculous list of rules.

After losing his husband, Sammy Robustelli has learned to be strong while raising two children on his own. No matter what life has thrown his way, nothing seems too hard with his best friend and roomie Davey at his side. When the two friends learn that people believe they’re a couple, they can’t help but laugh. The very idea is a big joke...until it isn’t.

It only takes a few wake-up calls before Davey wonders what happens if a guy might be in love with the best friend he can never have. It could never work for a pair of boys in need of a bossy top, right? Except...maybe Davey doesn’t know himself - or Sammy - as well as he thinks.

This is the final book in a series about not-so-perfect Daddies, adorable “boys”, and one sassy brat with an insane list of rules. Grab your fan and tissues because this series comes with both a high heat advisory and all the squishy feels you’d want from a Susan Hawke book.

A fantastic conclusion to the Davey’s Rules series. We finally get Davey’s story and it’s a cracker, a friends to lovers romance with some big self discovery along the way.

Sammy and Davey are so perfect for each other, who knew Davey would be the most fabulous of daddies. His journey throughout the series has been great and his book was the perfect ending.

Michael Dean once again provides awesome narration he really captures both characters very well.

Great end to the series

A sweet and delicious cherry on the top of an absolutely perfect series. Rules to Ignore, the seventh (and final) book in Susan Hawke’s Davey’s Rules series just couldn’t be any better! Davey finds his perfect match, and Sammy gets a happy ending… gah, I’m in heaven right now.

I’ve enjoyed the entire series in audio. Beautifully performed by Michael Dean, he's brought the Davey's Rules characters to life. Sassy, sexy, and sometimes sad, Mr. Dean has embodied the essence of these men. I'm thoroughly charmed.

While this is the end of the Davey's Rules series, Ms. Hawke promises a spin-off and I can hardly wait!

Davey has been a fan favourite since he arrived in books, it was so good to see him get his HEA, after following all the Easter eggs in the previous books which are a must read.

As always the characters are gorgeous and wonderful from start to finish, Michael Dean does a fabulous job, I have loved all the books in this series.

4.75* of wonderful

Well I didn’t see that coming, what a perfect ending. I absolutely love Davey and this story fits him perfectly. Davey needed to develop his list to grow into a Daddy. Best friends to lovers is so satisfying. Davey and Sammy fit so well together. Diva Daddy and his princess, so absolutely perfect.
As always Michael Dean brings all the characters to life and this little family is no exception.

Fabulous

Oh, Diva Daddy!

I loved Davey and Sammy both separately and together they are a beautiful best-friends-to-lovers-to-Daddy/Boy story. I enjoyed the conclusion of the series and while I picked up on the hints very early on in the series Davey’s Diva Daddy transformation was so good. He’s a very unique character and while I was surprised that he had certain Daddy/Boy presumptions that seemed up like him, his eye-opening moments were fantastic.

I loved that Sammy got another chance at love and I loved that they both talked about Raf and acknowledge his presence. I loved Sammy and his submissive side was handled wonderfully by Davey and while it took a while for them to find their way together and their way to a Diva Daddy and Princess/Boy dynamic they find their way and it’s beautiful.

I loved the series and look forward to more in this world soon!

Thanks for reading!
