He just didn't actually believe it. Gabe comes from a rich family while Lucy's mom works as a maid. The first part of the book is how they met while Gabe and his family were on vacation. I was looking forward to the second part when they run into each other at school. When they do run into each other again, Lucy doesn't know how to handle the direction her life just took. She doesn't like facing the truth so when the secrets finally come out, things fall apart. I was kind of disappointed in the ending because there can be so much more to their story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Taming the bad boy *by C***F on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2015* What happens on summer vacation, should stay on summer vacation.... right? Well Gabe and Lucy are about to find out how far their summer fling is going to go.Gabe "Mr. GQ" is vacationing with his family and not happy about having to spend time with them, the only thing that is helping is the sexy neighbor who he watches at the pool every afternoon. Lucy is house sitting for the summer trying to make money for school and notices her sexy neighbor watching her. Things quickly heat up between Gabe and Lucy, but there are secrets between them. They agree to a summer fling and oh what a summer it was.I adored how Gabe cared for Lucy and always wanted to make sure she was happy. He got upset when she would talk about her body and not being happy about it, and even though at first he was put off by some things about her, he embraced them and you could tell he was quickly falling for this girl. Lucy lets Gabe believe the story he made up that she's a rich girl alone for the summer. She doesn't have the heart to tell him she's just house sitting, especially when things heat up between these two. I loved how she stood firm on who she was with Gabe and definitely didn't put up with his crap.The two of them shared an amazing summer together, but never expected to run into each other at school. Gabe has tried to get Lucy out of his mind and nothing is working. When they run into each other again, things are definitely tense between them, but then get hot and sexy all over again. I really wish at this point Lucy would have told Gabe the truth about her, instead of letting it come out the way it did. Gabe was head over heals for this girl and if she would have been upfront about everything things wouldn't have gotten so awful for them.I adored this book, like I do all of Monica Murphy's stories. The story moved quickly, but it was a perfect pace to tell this sotry. Gabe may be a player, but he's definitely tamed by one feisty girl named Lucy. Funny how falling in love does that to you! Lucy has struggles all women deal with with her body, but Gabe makes her feel secure in who she is. This book had me laughing, swooning and falling in love. I loved how this book was lighthearted but still dealt with some big issues. The way it was written was beautiful. The ending was perfection, and I'm hoping we get to see more of Lucy and Gabe in the next book in this series. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Entertaining, fun and predictable... *by T***Z on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2016* This was a nice, lightweight, entertaining read. It's nothing heavy and it flowed nicely, keeping me interested. I'm surprised that I liked it as much as I did as I'm not a Y/A reader nor do I gravitate to College kids' stories. This story followed the same format as the first book in this series,  Fair Game (The Rules Book 1) ...almost identically. Still, I loved 21 y/o Lucy's character. She's independent but still devoted to keeping her mother happy. Doing the right thing; working hard, being a good girl, etc. She's kind and sweet and a little sassy at times.Gabe Walker is a rich boy who's life is not his own. He has to dance to the tune of his parents' fiddle and both hates and resents it. He's very unhappy and covers it with jokes. He jokes all the time. He loves women...he's a blatant man-whore who's proud of his reputation. And then he meets Lucy and practically becomes obsessed with her.This was (once again) a sweetly, slightly erotic story of college kids finding love, through all the up's and down's of family commitments/obligations, and college life responsibilities. The downside(s) to the story was how the author described Lucy's "first time". It SO was NOT true to life. It wasn't an authentic description of a virgin's first time. At all. The whole telling of it was rushed. Character descriptions were weak. In chapter #1, we're told Lucy has long dark brown hair. In Ch#2 her hair is changed to black. I dunno, I'm one of those readers who needs a clear picture to connect. I need visuals...and lots of them. Personality traits were described well...but character descriptions were almost non-existent. 60% of the story is about Gabe chasing Lucy, and establishing the feelings that are growing between our two protagonists before they part and go their separate ways. The last 40% is very mild drama before wrapping up to a nice HEA. This was Gabe's real awakening...of how Lucy makes him realize how lonely his life is conquering one co-ed after another....nothing special about each conquest. He realizes he leads a sad, empty life without any emotion. A good story but nowhere near as good as the first book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/44522911-in-the-dark-the-rules-book-2](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/44522911-in-the-dark-the-rules-book-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
