I have found rock bottom. It's here, moving in with my older brother because I'm too broke to afford to live on my own. It's okay though, because we've always been close and I think I'm going to have fun living with him again.That is until I meet Cooper...Turns out, my brother has very strong opinions on the idea of me dating his best friend and is dead set against it. According to him, Cooper is everything I should stay away from: flirtatious, adventurous, non-committal, and freaking hot. (I added that last part because I feel like you need the whole picture.) My brother is right-I should stay away from Cooper James and his pretty blue eyes. He's the opposite of what I need right now.Nah-who am I kidding? I'm going for it.The Off Limits Rule is a closed door romance, perfect for readers who love lots of sizzle but no explicit content.

Another cute, easy to love romance by Sarah Adams! Maybe a little simplistic compared to other stories I’ve enjoyed but a sweet read overall.

oh she has me in a chokehold. i start off hating all of her books but then its like she starts sprinkling crack in every chapter

i found this book hilarious, sweet, and entertaining. i can’t think of something that i didn’t like. the writing is this lovely goofy style. 

i wasn’t super obsessed because it was light-hearted but at the end of the day, that’s why i picked it up. to lighten my mood, enjoy myself, and make me laugh. 

if i could be more specific, i’d say that it was the only book i’ve read in this trope that the best friend was upfront honest with the brother (finally!) and it was a nice change to read. as well as the fact that we have a single mum and not a single dad in this case. also, Lucy being the funny and chaotic FMC with the hilarious lines didn’t stop Cooper, the MMC’s inner dialogues being equally hilarious. i just laughed so much!! and also with their dialogues with Drew (the brother).

another thing i’d like to mention is that it describes the struggles of being a single mother and being a mother in general in a lovely and empowering way!

of course the easter eggs for the second book worked wonders for my anticipation for it.

The cutesy cover is decieving because the story was annoying at times. I found it hard to relate with lucy because she was cringy and whiney at times. I almost had sympathy for Cooper being considered basically a rake by his BFF. However, I highly disliked the whole Cooper needing to get Lucy’s brother’s permission to date her - um is she not an independent grown ass adult? This is not the 16th century!? I finished it hoping for something redeeming but, not my cup of tea.

Lucy character's felt juvenile at times and I would forget that she is an almost thirty-year-old single mother. The author attempted to write Lucy as a quirky, funny character but Lucy sounded more like a whiny, cringey teenager. Even though Lucy claims Levi, her son, is her whole life; Levi seemed like a background character in the book as well as a plot device towards the end. Furthermore, I also didn't like that Cooper fell in love with Lucy mainly due to her quirkiness and uniqueness (wow she's not like other girls). mmmm I feel like Lucy and Cooper's relationship did not reach much development and deeper connection for me to fully root for their romance.

LOVED IT!!!! The moment it started I was just hooked up!! Lucy was such a hilarious character, being in her mind had me laughing the whole time. And Connor OMG swoony!!! I need him like now!! Honestly, if you need something light and funny, and romantic,do not look further. I think I may have converted to Sarah Adams fam, immediately. I cannot wait to read more of her books.
