📖: the off limits rule @authorsarahadamsRead if you like~ single mother~ brother's best friend~ dual pov~ strangers to friends to become a family#thoughts this book is a closed door romance comedy. It is a very light hearted book. I started the book because it checks with all of my fav tropes (especially brother's bff). The story of Lucy and Cooper is sweet wrapped up in a bubblegum. I loved the chemistry.It was a cute, cozy, sweet, adorable, endearing and lovable book.

The journey of Cooper and Lucy takes you on a ride full of cute, mesmerizing and breathtaking moments. The way they fit in together is beyond beautiful. With him, she is a better, more confident version of herself because he holds her hand through her every insecurity changing her life for the best. Meanwhile her love keeps him sane as she wipes out the past from his system to offer him a forever that is worth cherishing. Levi is the perfect cherry on the top as his adorable self sprinkles joy of laughters. Together they defeat every hurdle in their path especially dealing with brent (the good-for-nothing ex) and drew (the coconut of a brother who melts after throwing a tantrum). They become what the world never assumed them to be as he leaves his playboy ways to become her man. I loved this book and couldn't stop smiling while reading it!!!

‘The Off Limits Rule’ presents a sweet and engaging romantic comedy that ticks many of the genre’s boxes: chemistry, humor, and heartwarming moments. This story, revolving around the forbidden romance between Lucy and Cooper, has all the trappings of a classic rom-com but struggles with a few predictable elements and some underdeveloped plot points.When Lucy finds herself at rock bottom and moves in with her older brother, Drew. Her situation seems precarious but manageable until she meets Cooper, Drew’s best friend. The sparks between Lucy and Cooper are undeniable, but Drew, being the overprotective older brother, has strong reservations about Lucy dating his best friend. This sets up a classic "forbidden romance" scenario, complete with all the tension and drama one might expect.Lucy is a protagonist who is easy to root for. She’s relatable and likable, dealing with the challenges of moving back in with her brother while managing the responsibilities of a single mother. Her character is imbued with charm and humor, and her interactions with Cooper are often endearing. The author does a good job of making Lucy’s struggle feel genuine, and her evolution throughout the story is both believable and satisfying.Cooper, on the other hand, is painted as the quintessential perfect guy: flirtatious, adventurous, and impossibly good-looking. His charm and generosity are meant to offset his playboy reputation to make him more human. However, he feels too good to be true - even in fiction. While these characteristics make him an appealing romantic lead, it also makes him less relatable to us mortals. His character development lacks the depth needed to fully justify his transition from a carefree playboy to a devoted partner. The character of Levi, Lucy’s young son, adds a layer of warmth to the story. His presence brings out a softer side of both Lucy and Cooper, and his interactions with Cooper are particularly heartwarming. Levi’s character is a bright spot in the narrative and adds a touch of realism to Lucy’s life as a single mother.One of the book’s strengths is its humor. Adams excels at infusing the narrative with witty dialogue and creating humorous situations. The banter between Lucy and Cooper is one of the highlights of the book. I often had a smile on my face while reading this book. But at the same time, the humour in the book also took away from the seriousness of the central conflict of the story. Drew’s disapproval of Lucy and Cooper’s relationship felt a bit inflated. The “brother issue” that the plot hinges on is never fully explored or justified. At times, it seems like the obstacles to their romance are more about miscommunication and overthinking rather than substantial issues. This makes the conflict feel less impactful and the resolution a bit too easy.Also, the book’s predictability is both a strength and a weakness. On one hand, the familiar tropes and predictable storyline make it a comforting read for fans of the genre. On the other hand, it lacks the originality - whether in the plot itself or the characters or the narrative - making it a bit too cliched. It does not offer any surprises or fresh takes.‘The Off Limits Rule’ by Sarah Adams is a cozy and charming romantic comedy that did have me smiling at times. However, it isn’t a book I would go out of my way to recommend to someone.

It's so good 💗💗

Fast paced fun read!

The book came in really good condition. This is my first book purchase from Amazon. The story is sooooooooooooo good. I really enjoyed the slow burn and forbidden romance ❤️Single Mother's deserved to be loved by their Cooper ❤️

This is a simple book but really very cute and shows how copper gives respect to his friendship.The fight between the two will be very funny. Both of them will like each other, But both hide their feelings due to their own reasons. Cooper thinks, that he should not love his best friend's sister and on the other hand Lucy thinks that she is not deserved to be loved.But both can't avoid the feeling that they like each other.I can't believe i have just completed this book in just 2 Days.Definitely go for it. Its worth it.
