Description:
“There is a
vulnerability there, hovering just below the surface. And I want to pick at it
until I expose it. Then I want to kiss it."
Two years ago,
Emily Burnham, had an epiphany about the shallowness of her life. And she
made it her mission to become a different person…a better woman. Out from
under the controlling thumb of her mother, Emily is tasting the real world for
the first time. And she likes it.
Nixon Caldwell has
served his time in the Marine Corps, surviving two brutal tours in Afghanistan.
He is back home, surrounded by what he likes best…isolation. It's
certainly the easiest way to avoid confrontation of the consuming guilt that is
weighing him down.
When an accident
brings Emily and Nix together, he soon learns he is not the master of his own
fate. Struggling with his own pain, Nix tries to guard himself against Emily’s
charms. He wants her in his bed, but he doesn’t want her in his
heart.
Having grabbed life
by the horns, Emily wants it all. But is she willing to accept just the
small part of himself that Nix is offering? Can she reach the part of his
soul that he has deemed to be Off Limits?
This book is the
follow up novel to Off Sides by Sawyer Bennett. It can be read as a
stand-alone.
Wow is the first word that comes to mind when I think of this book. I was drawn in from beginning to end. Emily and Nix are two characters that you can't not fall in love with. Emily has always been the "good girl" and always done what her parents told her until she is finally fed up. Nix has a past that haunts him after serving in the war. These two could not be more different from one another but when fate brings them together over and over again I found myself desperate for them to be together. There were twists and turns and surprises and it was an emotional roller coaster. I highly recommend this book and personally think the author handled the topics in a way that further allows the reader to connect with the characters.

bribed with a nominal amount of milk chocolate.
