"A pitch-perfect blend of sexy and sweet, this office romance had me hooked from the first page." Jennifer Blackwood, author of The Rule Book
She created the game, but the rules are about to change.
The second I met Will Evans in his three-piece suit with that hot as hell British accent, I wanted him.
That is...until he insulted my shoes and stole my corner office.
Now I have to work side-by-side with the surly British arsehole who just set my career back six months.
It's fine. That accent won't get to me, no matter how sexy it sounds when he asks permission to do things professionals shouldn't do. On the couch. In the corner office I still wish was mine.
Maybe we can't keep our hands off each other, but I'm sure as hell not falling for a guy who lives an ocean away. Because in six months, he's leaving for good.
I don't do broken hearts, but you know what they say...
There's a first time for everything.
"If you are in the mood for something not too heavy and love the idea of a British man asking "May I" , in that way to make your skin pebble and heart beat... then I would say this is your fun read." -Wendy @ Goodreads
"May I, just say that I adore A.J. Pine and her heartwarming second installment to The Kingston Ale House Series. And "May I" also just say that Pine has truly proved to romance readers out there that she can indeed write a love story that has chemistry, heart, raw emotions, and playfulness." -Michelle @ Four Chicks Flipping Pages
"Omg! A sexy British man with a good heart and a sexy as sin accent? Yes please!! And when he kept saying "May I", I melted right along with Holly!! The things this book did to my heart!!

Awww I loved this read.
It is so true to life, how we try to compartmentalize our feelings and yet when you finally find the one, it is all blown to hell.
This book is loaded with all of the things we love in a sweet romance. A steamy hot guy - with the English accent to boot; a hardworking gal tryin ...more

I really liked this! For the blink of an eye this started out as an enemies(ish) to lovers story, but then quickly turned into "Listen. We have amazing chemistry and seriously want to bone each other so let's do that until you have to return to England."
Holly was a heroine I quickly fe ...more

I loved the first book in author A.J.Pine's Kingston Ale House series, but I like LOVE, LOVE, LOVE with cherries on top Six Month Rule. Two very different people at two very different points in their lives working together on a project that will ...more
When I read the blurb for this book I immediately thought .... oh, this is going to be disastrously fun! AND IT WAS :) But there was really no disaster lol just very sweet, romantic FEELS! :)
A.J. Pine wrote two very likeable characters as individuals but also as a couple, which made for non-sto ...more
If you’re looking for something lighthearted and “feel good”, then Six Month Rule is right up your alley. I’m finding that I really enjoy these “relationships with an expiration date” stories. The expiration date seems to add an intensity to when the hero and heroine identify and come to terms with ...more
Oh my goodness, romance readers, this is such a smart, fun, sexy read! I loved getting lost in this story and the HEA! If you haven't checked out AJ Pine's books, definitely do! I will be adding more to my TBR list! ...more
I loved the book so much that I blurbed it! :-) But really, this is AJ Pine's work at its finest. Will, a British single father is the true definition of UNF. Let me tell you, he is sweet, swoony, and he knocked me ded with his "May I's"
Here, Will, you can have the key to my heart.

This was a cute story. Maybe a little predictable, but still good. I mean, when you start off with a girl who has a six-month rule and a guy who is only in the country for six months, and their chemistry is off the charts, what do you think is going to happen? Of course, they both want more, but the ...more
Six Month Rule is the second book in the Kingston Ale series by AJ Pine. The first book, The One That Got Away was a friends to lovers romance that was a hit and miss story for me, but I’m happy to say that this one was a winner for me from the very start.
