š
He is seeking absolution.

Both are willing to jump feet first into the flames to see where it takes them, despite the risk of being burned.


Review:

What an amazing and fabulous end to the OFF series! I think this is quite possibly my favorite OFF book yet. Flynn is a heart-stopper, and Rowan is a hoot and a half. I have fallen in love with each and every one of Sawyer Bennett's OFF series characters along the way, and to say that Off Chance was the most fitting end to a wonderful series is really just not enough. 

All of the OFF books have characters that have some type of damage; but Flynn and Rowan might just take the cake in this regard. They've each been through some pretty severe emotional trauma, and each one is fighting to find their place in the world. Flynn as the hero and Rowan as the nobody she believes she is. Their story is one hell of an emotional roller-coaster, but it's real. Like all of the OFF books, the characters and events are believable and not unrealistic or totally off the wall. In other words, they don't go through things that only happen in movies. They experience real events that people go though all the time.

Flynn's hero complex rears it's head with Rowan, and after he rescues her from a fire (the fire is significant!!) he's on a roll! He's drop dead sexy... hello... fireman! And he has one of the best hearts. 

Rowan is a work in progress. She's a product of her past, and oh boy has it affected her. She one strong woman, but still a scared little girl in some ways. I loved her zeal and determination, even when it was holding her back from something she really wanted... and needed.

So, as an ending to the OFF series, OFF CHANCE is a hit! But one of my favorite aspects of this finale is that we get to see ALL of the OFF series characters and where they end up. That's right! Danny & Ryan, Emily & Nix, Ever & Linc, and Renner & Cillian are all there too! So, it's a nice wrap up for everyone. You certainly don't want to miss it, but in case you haven't read the rest of the series, you'll definitely want to check those out as well.

OFF COURSE (OFF series #4) by Sawyer Bennett REVIEW

Off Course (Off Series #4)
Renner Caldwell has her life perfectly mapped out. She has the ideal relationship, the perfect job and all is right in her world. When a shameful turn of events happens, she boards the first plane bound for Ireland to lick her wounds and get her head back on straight.

Cillian O’Bradaigh is the sexy, front man to the Irish rock band, Over The Edge. His rising fame and sultry voice make him every woman’s fantasy come true. Not to mention his single-minded determination. To put it simply: what Cillian wants, Cillian always gets. And he wants Renner, because there’s just something about the flame-haired beauty he has to possess.

If their relationship was just about sex and rock n’ roll, it would be easy for them to get lost in their desires. Only their relationship is anything but a hook-up. Will lies, deceit and hidden tragedy get in the way, making the path to true love uncertain? Or will the girl whose been knocked Off Course, find her footing with the man who is teaching her it’s okay to lose control?

Review:
I adore this series, and OFF COURSE just made me love it even more! Renner and Cillian might be my favorite couple so far, but I’m pretty sure I say that with every OFF Series book I read. Something really different about this book is that not only is it set in Dublin, Ireland, but the characters from the other books play only a very small role in OFF COURSE. For the most part, these are all completely new characters, and they are fabulous if I do say so myself.

Renner and Cillian certainly face some challenges, the first being their history. That’s right, there’s some history in this one; and its got Renner pretty guarded. Not to mention her recent experience with love. But Cillian’s got his own issues to deal with, and well, they aren’t exactly simple.

Cillian’s a lover alright. I mean, he’s a rock star so of course he’s all about the sex. And he’s really good at the sex. *wink* Really good! I loved the tension not only between Renner and Cillian, but between each of them and the other characters in this book. Cillian is close with Renner’s cousin and her family, so it creates a lot of extra tension. And with all the OFF Series books, people screw up! Big time! But the conclusion for this one will make you smile, and have you on the edge of your seat waiting for the 5th and final OFF book. Yep… there’s one more coming and OFF CHANCE is sure to be a fab conclusion for this amazing series that will have you drooling for these fabulous men!

Blog Tour: OFF LIMITS by Sawyer Bennett + Giveaway


Title: Off Limits
Author: Sawyer Bennett
Release date: April 16, 2013
Publisher: Big Dog Books, LLC 
Age Group: New Adult
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tour organized by: AToMR Tours

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?  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, but I would definitely read Off Sides, because it is just as fantastic and contains one of my all time favorite book couples!


Review:
Oh my, I love my guys damaged and Nix Caldwell is DAM-AGED! But he's got more going for him under that roughed up exterior. I was so excited when I cracked into Off Limits because I was extremely intrigued by Emily in Off Sides, which is the companion novel about her brother Ryan. What really appealed to me about this book is that it's not your typical hearts and flowers. Nix is extreme like many war veterans can be, and he doesn't do hearts and flowers. He does sex. And well, he's pretty damn good at it!

Emily isn't looking for a boyfriend. She's been there, done that, and it didn't end well. So her openness to the no strings attached sex with Nix doesn't line up with your typical love story either. I was a little worried that some huge event was going to spark a change in this arrangement like so often happens. But I was not only surprised, but also completely content with where this story went and how things played out. I'm a strong believer that every story doesn't have to have some massive tragedy that opens the characters' eyes. Sometimes, it's the small things. 

This book is not re-telling of Ryan and Danny's story with different couples. In other words, it's not like watching The Hangover II, where you think, "Hmmm.... haven't I already watched this movie only with a different setting?" Yea, I really hate it when stories do that. Emily and Nix have their own set of obstacles to overcome, and at times it's painful to read/watch their struggles. But you won't regret this one! It stands on it's own, and Emily and Nix will captivate you!

Another great aspect of Off Limits is that it continues Ryan and Danny's story from Off Sides in the background. You do not have to have read Off Sides for Off Limits to make sense; however, Ryan and Danny are one of my absolute favorite book couples so if you haven't read it I definitely recommend it.
