Off
Limits
By: Sawyer Bennett
Book 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? Or can she reach the part of his soul that he has deemed to be Off Limits?

Review:
Ok, so I LOVED
this book. A friend recommended it to me and I'm so glad she did. The two main
characters were three dimensional and had amazing chemistry. Emily was a
spoiled rich girl who went against her parents’
wishes in order to grow as a person. She didn't like the box her family had
placed her in so she crashed down the walls. Emily wanted to experience all
facets of life.
Nix. What can
you say about Nix? Sexy as hell—a former Marine
with mental and physical scars. Who doesn't love a man in uniform? Definitely swoon
worthy. He tried so hard to resist his attraction to Emily, but as you can
imagine, easier said than done.
When the two of
them finally come together…The sex was off
the charts; steamy, passionate, everything you could ask for.
If you are
looking for a steamy read with emotional depth don't pass up on this one.
