The Off Limits Rule A Romantic Comedy

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

It made me cry. Such a feel good ending and overall adorable story!

A quick easy read

the characters didn’t give me anything to root for

Sarah Adams' books are definitely always a hit. I read The Cheat Sheet first and I fell in love with Nathan. Now I read this one and I fell for Cooper as well😩😩. Waiting to see if Drew will grow on me even more.

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.

100% recommend it.

It was… cringy and no tension within the two. Lucy was especially cringy and cooper reminds me of a middle schooler.

The fact there's was a romance that wasn't all about sex was a blessing I swear authors think sex is the main thing when it comes to romance.

I found the romance super cute and really liked the whole brother being against it. I think Lucy brother was compelltly out of order for telling them if they could date or not.

I laughed out loud so many times and loved how Cooper made Lucy feel better for herself. Super cute scenes

The ending I didn't love it felt a little rushed for the characters to make that choice.

⭐ 2 / 5⭐ Yeah.. I did not like it. 1) It was too fast-paced and had absolutely no tension. It all happened too quick, there was no time to savour the moment. 2) Not to be mean, but it kind of was boring. It did not have me hooked until I reached around the 80% of the book. Was all just too basic and vainilla and plain. I skimmed over majority of the book. 3) Lucy is supposed to be a single mom... I expected Levi (her son) to be more part of the story whatsoever. Did not happen. Also, it annoyed me that at every single opportunity Lucy would mention that she is a mom and use it as an excuse or something like that. Bro okay, got it. yeah.

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.

4.5 ⭐️ Such a cute light hearted romance! Cooper and Lucy’s banter is adorable and had me laughing throughout the whole book!

I was smiling and laughing all the way through this book from start to finish. Lucy is an amazing character juggling being a single mother with a small child and looking into relationships. Cooper has an amazing arc and development that makes him so loveable. and we cannot forget Levi and his Dinosaur PJs.

Yesterday I read The Temporary Roomie and fell in love with it. Therefore, today I decided to go back and read the first one in the series about Lucy and Cooper. What can I say? I’m a goner for Sarah Adams’s writing, her characters and stories. They just bring me so much joy! It warms my heart and soul. Once again, it is humanly impossible not to like Lucy and Cooper. They are both caring and funny. Cooper, in particular, is so gentle and supportive, making it impossible not fall in love with him. Once again, I laughed so much. I’m also a sucker for those bonding moments between Cooper and Levi. What can I say? Those scenes make me smile to the point where my face hurts! This is one those books who is purely fun and adorable. It’s angst free and makes you smile and laugh. This is also a 5 star read but the second book still owns a special place in my heart. Ugh I need novellas for all of them. And I sure will make my way into the rest of Sarah Adams’s backlist. 5 stars✨

OH where do I even start?? I couldn't put this book down! This had me smiling, laughing, and feeling all the fluttery feelings I get reading a cute, amazing romance! Cooper is the sweetest and literally the dream guy! I loved Lucy and how quirky and hilarious she was! I ADORED Lucy and Cooper's relationship! Loved the side characters too and the little moments Lucy and Cooper had with Levi. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who wants to read a fast-paced, funny and feel good romance.

This book has me screaming and giggling and smiling and blushing and kicking legs in the air!! One of the cutest rom-coms EVERRRRR!!! Cooper is one of the cutest and acceptable and assuring guy in the whole world!!! Love him with my whole heart!!

The amount of times I laughed out loud to this book… I did feel like the ending was rushed and unnecessarily so too.

I not going to lie, I have been giving up so many books halfway through because I get bored or want to read something else. I have just recently decided that I need to finish the books I get halfway through. The Off Limits Rule was one of them. The story is interesting and amazing. The characters are all so... you know them. They are unpredictable. I honestly don't know what to say, I loved the book and I love the author.

This book was so much fun to read, really refreshing and entertaining, Love the take on it . Love like adore Cooper omg 😱, I need him as hubby damn!!! The most adorable , and thoughtful men so far I have read. Love Lucy and how she grows and you see the changes. And last i love the 2 points of view 😍😍😍😍

4.5 ⭐️ Really fun read!! I laughed i cried and I screamed !! Such a cute rom com AND brother’s best friend !!! YEP this is such a brilliant book loved that it highlighted strong women and pregnancy aftermaths !! So good !! “Thank you for being here today.” His arms coil tighter around me, contracting like a boa. “Always. I’ll be here always.”

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.

my review for The Off Limits Rule Such an amazing cute romance. Not one of my favourites but good enough. It’s such a quick read however it is enjoyable thou and that’s the main point.

A good rom-com that kept me interested and easy to read! 🥰 However the POV's did seem a little childish at times, but didn't put me off.

extremely funny and cute, but also cringey and lost my interest a couple times
