BREAKING BAILEY'S RULES is the latest novel in the Westmoreland series, and it stands well on its own. I have enjoyed this wonderful series. If this is the first book by Brenda Jackson that you are reading, then I encourage you to read about the other Westmorelands. This is a family with strong personalities. In BREAKING BAILEY'S RULES you will see how one of the "Westmoreland Hellions" will meet her match. Because of her stubbornness and her tendency to jump to conclusions, she will find herself having to apologize because of assumptions. A man who has lived in solitude for a number of years suddenly finds his world invaded by this irresistible woman.

Alaskan ranch owner Walker Rafferty goes to Denver to meet the Westmorelands to find out about them for his friend's family because inquiries have revealed that they are related. Bailey Westmoreland has been asked to meet Walker at the airport and bring him back to the family home. Once she sees Walker he is not what she is expecting. There is definitely some heated chemistry between them. Because of a misunderstanding Walker cuts his trip short and returns to Alaska. After talking with her family, Bailey realizes that once again she owes Walker another apology and in order to do that she needs to go to Alaska. When she shows up on Walker's doorstep he is not happy about it. But because of the weather and Walker getting injured Bailey ends up staying longer than planned. That heated chemistry that started in Denver turns into an inferno in Alaska.

Bailey has strong opinions regarding relationships which is why she developed her list of BAILEY'S RULES, one of which is that she will never leave Westmoreland country. Because of his painful past Walker vows he will never leave Alaska again. Will there be a happy compromise for these two?
