Abby never thought she’d see Dax Harper again — let alone bump into him in a Manhattan coffee shop.

Dax was her law school fling. The one that got away. The almost-relationship she couldn’t forget.

Now he’s older. Hotter. And in town for just one night.

Dax wants dinner. Abby wants one night of rekindled heat.

It won’t change anything. He’s in L.A. She’s in New York. No strings. No regrets.

Until Abby’s firm is called to L.A. in a deal that will make, or break, her career. She’s ready for anything — except finding Dax on the other side of the boardroom table. All confidence, charm, and those damn hazel eyes still looking at her like she’s the only one in the room.

For the sake of their careers, they must stay professional.

But when the tension sizzles hotter than their last night together, it’s clear some rules are made to be broken . . .

My Review

I really enjoyed this book! This is the second book in the Off-Limits series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. Right off the bat, the author did a fantastic job of establishing a connection between Dax and Abby. What I appreciated even more was the fact that Dax was the one that wanted more than just a hook up, and he wasn’t afraid to express this. It’s rare that we get to see the MMC this way and it made me fall in love with him even more.

I really enjoyed the arc of Abby’s character. I didn’t quite understand what made her have her walls up, but once she’s in L.A. and her and Dax have that time together, the picture becomes clear. Abby has been through some things, but I’m not going to spoil the book. The way that she slowly lets Dax in is quite beautiful.

I REALLY loved that Liv is just as present in this book. She was the FMC in the first book, but her friendship with Abby in this book is really strong. I love that the friendship is woven through this book as well.

This book really had me smiling from ear to ear, and I giggled a few times too. Dax is a cinnamon roll MMC, and Abby was fantastic in her own way. There is some spice in this book, but it’s not over the top. It’s very tasteful and it makes sense. I really loved this book and I think all romance readers will too!
