London, England – Present Day

Attorney Gemma Picton has been billionaire Jack Grant's counsel for the past two years, and she's seen a succession of women go in and out of his life. She doesn't plan to be the next one, especially as she knows he still mourns his late wife. But one night, he turns his attention to her, and she is unable to resist him. It's nothing but sex between them, but Gemma is feeling more. As she tries to keep Jack at arm's length, the irresistible pull between them leads to even more sex. But Gemma doesn't want to get involved with a man who isn't over the death of his wife.

Jack uses sex to forget that he lost his wife, and while he thinks of Gemma as a friend that he can talk to about anything, he still is attracted to her. His motto is “bed a woman once or twice, then move on,” but with Gemma it's…different. He should be happy she isn't clinging to him, yet it only makes him want her more. Will Jack either break off their affair…or make Gemma a part of his future?

Gemma has always felt that Jack was OFF LIMITS because he's not ready to move past his wife's death. He's unabashed when it comes to sex. Heck, he's not afraid to drop his clothes around her and prance naked. They work well together, and it's Gemma who has to order the flowers for the latest girlfriend when he's done her. She figures soon she'll be ordering hers…but to her surprise, he keeps seeking her out for more sex.

Told from Gemma's point of view mostly, with a few scenes that show it from Jack's, OFF LIMITS is a spicy tale that may not be for everyone because they have lots of sex…lots of it. OFF LIMITS is set in London using British euphemisms, which kind of reminds me of women's fiction from a few years ago. I wasn't even sure if Gemma and Jack would end up with a happily-ever-after. But the steamy sex scenes illustrate the emotional build up as Jack and Gemma are soon unable to exist without the other in their life.

OFF LIMITS is part of the Harlequin Dare launch and currently is free as an eBook. If you want to see what the stories are like and how hot they are, then I strongly recommend grabbing a copy. Gemma and Jack's story is compelling as readers wonder if the wall that prevents him from loving again will be broken down.
