I received a beta copy of this fabulous book. I absolutely love this book! I loved the first installment so I always hope the second can live up to it, and it definitely was able to! This is an absolute must read! If you liked Off Sides then read this because Danny and Ryan make some appearances!

Can they really make something of their attraction to each other? Or is Nix past too dark? I really enjoyed this book. Jun 28, Tzelina rated it really liked it. I really loved it!!

Because of this - he refuses to have relationships with anyone and comes off as an asshole. Making personal connections is easy. Losing them is what's hard. It's easier to avoid. Until he meets Emily. She just may be that one person who can break down his carefully constructed walls and get him to feel something again. But when she pushes him a little too far - will he be able to get past his issues and finally allow himself to be in love?
This book was a wonderful love story in every sense. You have the tough and sassy heroine. The sexy, baddass hero with issues. I love books where it's the guy who fights his attraction instead of the girl - something about those storylines just does it for me. And the chemistry these two had was awesome.
The first time Nix gives into his desire for Emily is an unforgettable scene! But the suspense of whether he'll get his act together kept me wanting more. An example of how sweet he is I'm having a lot of 'firsts' with you. The epilogue was wonderful, and I'm excited that there will be another book about his brother, Linc!

This is where their Romance blossoms. I really did love this book and the supporting characters were also great Fil was fantastic she would have done anything for Emily. Can't wait to read the next book in this series. I beta read a copy of this book and it was amazing!! Let me say that if you loved Off Sides, you will love Off Limits.
Granted this is Emily's story, but we do see a little of Ryan and Danny in this one as well. Emily is an amazing character and you see her maturity here from the last book. Not giving away spoilers, but Nix oh my lol.. I was drawn in from the beginning and all I will say is you will not be disappointed!! Put it on your TBR list and enjoy!!
Sawyer, thanks so much again! I just don't have it in me to care about someone like that. You cannot expect anything like that from me. I don't need this shit and I don't need you. I'll keep it short and sweet. I would definitely recommend this book. I enjoyed the first book in the series- liked this one even more. The book got better as it progressed. If you're in the mood for a quick, emotional, steamy read with great characters then this one's for you!
Looking forward to the next book in the series. View all 6 comments. Surprisingly, despite my reluctance to continue reading Off Limits after the first few chapters, it slowly began to redeem itself as the story went on and I ended up deeply enjoying it. However, you don't need to read Off Sides to enjoy Emily and Nix's story. But focusing on the book itself, the romance between Emily and Nix was fantastic and electrifying. It was developed on the pretense of lust, but as they got to know each other, their lust slowly transitioned into something deeper.
Their relationship wasn't a major case of insta-love; it developed at a realistic pace, starting from attraction and ending with a beautiful result. To hit the romance home, we have those "hot and heavy" scenes which are balanced with the sweet, romantic ones.

What I prominently noticed was Sawyer Bennett's writing style. The writing is simple, and although I thought it was cheesy sometimes, it was really enjoyable. The biggest issue with the writing was how it was more "tell the action", instead of "show the action". I can't quite explain it, but I found myself rolling my eyes. There was a need to explain a character's motives behind doing something in an inner rant, subsequently followed by a paragraph dedicated to trying to justify something. Off Limits had that quality about it that made the events of the beginning pale in comparison to the middle.
Without a compelling writing style to carry you through to that point in the middle where the writing improved by a lot, I almost completely lost interest. The plot wasn't so gripping that I was frantically turning the pages, but it kept me engaged, and I was frantically turning the pages nonetheless. Our characters Nix and Emily also had a lot to do with it. I loved how much they learned about both each other and themselves.

They were slightly flat characters, but I loved learning everything I could about them. Nix was a hot, sexy man who had PTSD after six years in the war, and Emily was an innocent woman who was stifling under her mother. Together, they were a fantastic couple, as I pointed out above. Romantic and beautiful, Off Limits is a perfect read for fans of the new adult contemporary novel, and I loved almost everything with this novel. Please don't hesitate to pick this one up; this new gritty novel by Sawyer Bennett is worth it.
I have no idea what it would be like to go to war and come home with that burden, now add a brain injury on top of it and what does it give you but a very broken soul. With Nix immediatley you want to help him overcome his demons so he can see the light in his world of dark. It's not till Emily who comes from a world of privilege but is trying to break free from those constraints when she finally gets a glimpse of hope, freedom and true love from her soon to be sister in law Danny. But together on I have no idea what it would be like to go to war and come home with that burden, now add a brain injury on top of it and what does it give you but a very broken soul.
But together on paper Emily and Nix should be so wrong for one another but in their reality they are what each other needs to continue their journey into the light. It will slowly choke out everything you have worked so hard to overcome. And when it's destroyed all of that I'm worried that you'll get hurt and even though I'm an ass to you most of the time, I really don't want to harm you.

Anger is his middle name and he treats people badly to keep them away from him. And then there is Emily Burnham, trust fund baby and recovering spoiled rotten, opinionated, and judgmental socialite whose mother rules her life or tries to but is now failing since Em has seen the light from how she walks, talks, dresses, acts, and even who she associates with all for her father's political career.
Burnham has consistently used both Ryan, her brother from book one, and Emily to help further her husband's career with their eyes on the White House. They are viewed as the 'perfect family' and Emily, like her brother, wants her own life and control over her own decisions. Ryan has already defected from his family in favor of love. As she begins to back her car up something goes crunch and she discovers she has badly damaged a man's motorcycle.

He is spitting-fire mad and she goes to work for him to help pay off her debt for the repair of his bike. Her family is very wealthy but she has been cut off from funds since she didn't choose the career path her mother was determined she take.
Emily and Nix, wow what a couple! I loved them together almost as much as Ryan and Danny. I highly recommend this book and although it is considered a standalone, reading the series in order enhances each book. She has finally had enough and has started doing things her way. She meets Nix and the sparks fly. Nix is suffering from PTSD and has issues with rage, he normally is a total ass to everyone and is very antisocial.
When he around Emily he is constantly playing tug of war with his emotions. NIX "When she walks in,it's like a punch in my gut.

One thing I can warn you about from the start is Jack Honestly, he's an asshole lol Would I have chosen to write him with very little soft edges to him? Once and asshole almost always an asshole so Which of course would make Gemma kinda, maybe, sorta come across as weak because she continues to go back for more from him.
But it works you guys. It's who they are and their puzzle pieces fit together very well and their sexual chemistry is off the charts! This book surprised me. I liked it a lot. Both our leads our leads were perfectly flawed just like real life. This was realistic and relatable and really sexy!

Off Limits (Off, #2) by Sawyer Bennett
Off Limits is such a steamy hot romance book! I really love Off Limits because it reminds me a little of Fifty Shades. From the first page, I was completely hooked! Clare Connelly is such a great author and I cannot wait to read more books written by her! Oct 28, Megan rated it it was amazing Shelves: It's not something I thought I would do again, but I was given a 'limited edition proof' of this book with no cover at a local book signing and, on a spur of the moment, thought why not? It says 'Dare - Our hottest series yet' on the cover and I took that as a challenge.
Oh boy, was I wrong!! I got swept away by these two intelligent and engaging characters. Both Jack and Gemma had been broken in their own way and weren't looking for love or even ever crossing those boundaries with each other. They thought of each other as off limits, a line they couldn't cross as it would change everything Nov 01, Meleka Taylor rated it it was amazing. I truly liked this book.
I have not been really able to delve into a lot books as I did this one. It kept my interest. This is the story of Gemma Picton and Jack Grant. Jack is Gemma's boss and for 2 years she has been trying not to be attractive to her employer. They are both attracted to each other but they are trying to adhere to a look-but-don't-touch rule. I wanted these characters together. They made a great match.
Gemma and Jack are good counterparts for each other. His sarcasm and her qu I truly liked this book. His sarcasm and her quick wit were just perfect together. I liked how the author wrote about the battle within the characters. It was well written. Their internal battle to keep it together and not be affected by each other was something that kept me wanting to read. I loved the development of the characters. Gemma is my kind of girl. I love a good chase. And I believe the author accomplished that feat with her writing.
I also liked Gemma's inner dialogue. She knew she should not get caught up with Jack but his pull was hard to resist. She was fighting not to fall for him. She was not pushing herself on him or into his life. I liked Jack as a character also. He treated Gemma like a person and how she should have been treated. He did not want a relationship at first but he realized that Gemma was what he needed.
And comparing him to Colin Farrell was a plus since I think he is cute. That image gave me a vision in my mind of how Jack looked. The author made their relationship natural.

It was not man sees girl or girl sees guy and they are instantly in love. The relationship went through its ups and downs and it progressed into something. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. All reviews are my own opinions. View all 3 comments. Oct 30, Angie rated it really liked it. It's my first book by this author and I have nothing but good comments for the novel. Gemma and Jack's story was scorching and tender, I cried at the end because I just knew how strong Gemma is to make the decision she made, which in the end paid off for both of them.
Jack is this intelligent, sexy than sin billionaire who is broken and damaged after losing his wife to cancer. The sexy billionaire goes through woman to fill that void Don't you love this stereotype already because he knows he won't ever forget his Lucy. And Brilliant, confident Gemma working two years for Jack knows all about his issues. She fights like hell the attraction they have together and it's spectacular to watch. The best tease for a reader. She doesn't just want to heal him but help me believe in something better again.
I'm so sad the book ended ughhhh. Can't wait for the next one! Oct 23, Heather andrews rated it it was amazing. Here against the door. Would you like that, Gemma? Feb 05, Caitlyn Lynch rated it it was amazing. Gemma Picton has grown up in the lap of luxury, but she's not content to sit on her behind and let the world revolve around her. A brilliant lawyer, she's now the in-house counsel for Jack Grant, billionaire playboy For two years, Gemma has kept Jack at a professional distance, but bit by bit, the walls are coming down.
What sort of happily-ever-after can there be, though, for a girl who's never dreamed of white picket fences and a man who lost the love of his life? This Gemma Picton has grown up in the lap of luxury, but she's not content to sit on her behind and let the world revolve around her. This is an unconventional romance, but it works because neither Gemma nor Jack WANT a conventional sort of relationship.
I absolutely loved Gemma's fierce, determined approach to life, her absolute refusal to compromise her principles for anyone.
Off Limits - Book Two
Her relationship with her grandmother the duchess was fabulous; I could have read a whole novel on the two of them alone. The sex scenes in this book are hot, they are graphic and they start early on. It's not for the faint-hearted, but you could probably have guessed that from the cover. Off Limits is a great example of an unconventional relationship portrayed the right way, with a happy ending that was totally believable for the two characters in question. I thoroughly enjoyed the read, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the DARE range!
Five stars for a fantastic, super sexy read! I received a copy of this book for review through NetGalley. Feb 11, Riki rated it really liked it Shelves:
