Off Chance
He is seeking absolution.
Flynn Caldwell has a hero complex and it’s one of the reasons he joined the New York City Fire Department. He has spent his entire professional career trying to atone for that one person he failed to save. Because, if he can do that, then perhaps he can be worthy of love again.
She is seeking escape.
Rowan Page’s life is nothing short of a disaster. Always immersed in trouble, she has only herself to depend on. She’s determined to pull herself out of this mess and make something of her life, despite the hard years she has lived on the streets of New York.
Together, they have the chance to become complete.
Flynn and Rowan’s worlds exist miles apart, but when a chance meeting brings them together, neither of them can deny the instant pull that connects them to each other. What starts as a tiny spark eventually flares into a fire so hot, it refuses to be extinguished.
For it to work, both of them will need to jump feet first into the flames to see where it takes them, despite the risk of being burned.

Definitely the eyes. Lashes so thick you would think they were painted on the border of the lightest pair of hazel irises I’ve ever seen. His dark brown hair, which he wears fairly short, only makes his eyes pop that much more…..
I don’t even wait for him to set his glass back down before I pick up the bottle, finally noticing the brand. Jameson’s. Good choice.
I liked this one. Didn’t love it, not sure why as I really liked some of the earlier books and had been looking forward to Flynn’s story. A good read and I will read more from this author.

OMG what a prologue how sad and what a beginning to a story.
The way Flynn and Rowan's relationship starts is different and building up the friendship is refreshing than just jumping into bed together. When they move the relationship onwards WOW HOT.
An emotional sad story from Rowan's POV and Flynn is so sweet and caring but can be bossy in the bedroom SEXY :).
It was great having all the gang together especially Nix (I <3 Nix).
I have loved ALL 5 books in the Off Series, great series would recommend to anyone.

Off Chance was a sweet romance with a hunky, protective fire fighter and girl down on her luck. I have a soft spot for a man in uniform and Flynn did not disappoint!
Flynn Caldwell lost his first love while in high school in a house fire. A death he feels he could’ve prevented. He’s now a firefighter trying to make amends for his perceived error. When he saves Rowan Page from burning to death after being left unconscious in a building fire, he can’t help the protective feelings that overwhelm him when he sees she has nothing to her name, and nowhere to go. Rowan is very distrustful of anyone, and fights any help Flynn tries to offer, but he is determined and persuasive, and so she gives in somewhat, becoming his reluctant roommate. Little by little Flynn’s patience and care breaks down Rowan’s barriers, and both can’t fight their growing feelings.
I have to say, Flynn just melted my heart. He can be my hero any day! He was so selfless and generous with Rowan, taking care not to demean her in any way for the situation she found herself in. Flynn had the patience of a saint not pushing too much, but still trying to help Rowan improve her lot in life. Flynn and Rowan have an immediate and intense physical attraction:
I'm completely overwhelmed by the intimacy that swirls around us. Flynn's mouth is almost inducing catatonia in me while his hands are causing mini volcanic eruptions everywhere they touch. Falling, falling, falling...fast.
Yet, Rowan will not give into her feelings so easily. I have to say, I really had a hard time with Rowan. She had a troubled past, and didn’t have any friends she could trust until Flynn came along. The fear of losing that friendship makes her hesitant to take things to the next level. Even though I didn’t like her reasoning, I could somewhat understand, BUT the thing that tweaked me is the fact that Rowan kept going back and forth, giving in to some lusty moments and then pushing Flynn away! Not once or twice, but several times and that had me wanting to strangle her! Like I said, Flynn had the patience of a saint, and I wouldn’t have blamed him if he just moved on. I would’ve been disappointed because I really wanted this romance to work, but I wouldn’t have been able to fault him. Fortunately, Rowan does eventually get some sense.
In spite of my issues with Rowan, I did enjoy this installment, and I recommend this series for anyone who loves a romance with a slow buildup and sparking chemistry.
Any fan of this series will appreciate the glimpses of the previous couples, and a momentous occasion for one in particular. The epilogue shoots us several years into the future and it filled my heart with joy to see how everything turned out for this big extended family. Sawyer Bennett gave me the blissful HEA I’m always craving!

OK... this wasn't one of my fav Sawyer books by a long shot but it was still cute. Rowan got on my nerves quite a bit but Flynn was pretty freaking awesome.

This has been such a good series. All the books are page turners . All the characters are fantastically written and interesting. Although the books all connect the stories can be read as standalone reads. This is Flynn and Rowan's story. I think Flynn Caldwell is my favourite guy. So lovely, hot, sweet and gorgeous. If you love a romance with a good dose of passion and just enough angst, then this is perfect.

Flynn. Rowan. A dog named Capone.
A great story! My favorite one of the series - although I have loved them all!
Flynn is a hot firefighter... can you imagine - no really it isn't so tuff is it?

Rowan you get to see her at every level in this book. Her character grows and I love when an author can build a great one (character).

1.5 Stars. Let me please preface this by saying I am fan of Sawyer Bennett. This book however, did not work for me.
I could not connect with the characters or the story line. Flynn was a great character; all heart, all american, all fireman-hero fantastic. I loved his back story and what lead him to his profession. Out of all the heroes in this series, Flynn was the least alpha, but his overall do-good, protect the weaker, self sacrificing and unlimited ability to adapt made up for that in my opinion. Until it came to his reaction to Rowan. Rowan is where my problem with the story sat. Ididn't like couldn't stand her. She may have had the whole poor-me, neglected-little-rich-girl thing going on and her father was pathetic self-absorbed idiot, but that was no excuse for her behavior or decisions. And I could not get passed them. I could not like her because of them. She sold herself cheaply and was a knowing accessory to drug trafficking, staying with that trash for almost a year before moving on, not because she saw it as wrong, but because it wasn't benefiting her. She had no remorse, just a "What about me" never ending whine. I didn't feel she was forced into any of this by her rebellion against not having enough attention from mommy and daddy. I just saw her as sleazy. She simply had no morals or values. She was a replica of her self-absorbed and emotionally corrupted father. Coming off all of the other books in this series with real issues of human sacrifice and subtle nobility of unappreciated heroes, this did not fit. Flynn's praises for her strength and ability to survive were hollow. She endured nothing more that what she deserved. And she absolutely did not deserve Flynn, or the friendship from anyone in the series. I felt almost betrayed by the author for lowering the series by including her. And she did nothing throughout the story to redeem herself. Generally, I would admit admiration for putting me on a level of strong emotion, but not in this case. I'm just plain pissed I wasted my time and ruined a fondness I had found for this series.
The writing style was still very good and the story was well told, however unsatisfying. I still had a hard time bringing myself to finishing it. The epilogue wrapped the series up neatly and if I would have stopped with the fourth book, I would have gladly recommended the series. I do recommend books 1 through 4, but not this one. It actually soured the series a bit for me.

The characters on this book is very very confusing. Why Rowan resists Flynn so hard just to proof she is very independent woman? Being independent does not mean shoving a gorgeous man away and just treat him as a friend. Especially this man saves your life. Rowan character is making me groan in disgust.
And as Flynn, why he is willing to wait around from Rowan? Hey dude, if the lady is not interested or can not see how good you are, then move on please. Do not waste your time.
However I do, strangely, drawn into the sexy cute banter between Flynn and Rowan.
3 stars

Rowan is officially on my shit list.
She spent the whole motherfucking book swaying back and forth from "I want you" to "we should just be friends." It didn't bother me too much at first because I liked that they were developing a deeper bond before falling in bed, but it went on for too long. She kept rejecting him again and again. So much so that he even started dating someone else!
At first I was liking that for a change the heroine is the broody, untrusting one, while the hero is the happy, caring one. But that got old real quick.
Flynn was a wonderful hero. Too wonderful for Rowan. I wish he had a different heroine. He was caring, patient, and understanding. He deserved more than woe-is-me Rowan.
In conclusion...

Off Chance is book 5 of the Off series by Sawyer Bennett. A standalone, contemporary romance told from both points of view with a happy ending.
✔️ Fireman
✔️ Friends to lovers
✔️Forced proximity
As a member of the NYFD, Flynn Caldwell has proven himself a hero over and over. He’s dedicated himself to save lives. He just never expected to that while saving the life of Rowan Page and her furry companion Capone, he’d also find the love of his life.
It’s impossible not to fall for Fynn. He loves his family and putting his life on the line to save others. And although his relationship with Rowan started in a very unconventional kind of way, I really enjoyed how they became friends and slowly progressed to lovers.
It was also incredible being able to catch up with Emily+Nix, Ever+Linc, Renner+Cillian and Ryan+Danny. The epilogue was incredible sweet, swoony and the epitome of HEA.

I've really enjoyed this series and am sad to see it come to an end but what a perfect way to end it - with Flynn's story.
This basically sums up how I feel about Flynn:
He was BEYOND swoon worthy. His devotion to his family and job made him even more attractive. I have officially kicked my now former book boyfriend Linc aside and am claiming Flynn as my one and only.
Rowan had a hard life the last five years. Trying to fly under the radar and keep herself safe at the same time. When Flynn saved Rowan (and her absolutely adorable dog Capone) from a fire he never thought his whole world would be turned upside down.
What unfolds is a relationship based on trust, forgiveness and opening your heart to take a chance on love.
While I enjoyed the slow progression of Flynn and Rowan's relationship and the time they took to get to know each other, I was also getting extremely frustrated with Rowan's wishy/washy behavior. I found myself yelling at my kindle out of anger more than once.
I'll admit by the time she got her act together I was almost over it but she rallied in the end and redeemed herself. I loved that she finally caught the clue train and opened her heart to Flynn before she lost him forever.
Being able to catch up with Emily, Nix, Linc, Ever, Ryan, Danny, Renner and Cillian was great and it was a joy to see where their lives were like years later.
Any fan of this series will love this book too! Happy Reading.

I LOVED Off Chance.
While I've enjoyed the entire Off series, Off Chance is officially my favorite.
What I liked: Off Chance was different than everything I've read recently. While there is the to-be-expected yummy Caldwell men, the situation is very different. The prologue was heartbreaking, and I of course understood Flynn right away because of it.
Rowan has such a captivating strength, and so much fight, I adored her. She wasn't perfect, she made mistakes, but everything about her seemed real and genuine.
I also loved seeing more of our favorite characters, and the epilogue! Oh, oh! OH! The Epilogue was AWESOME. OMGOMGOMG level awesome.
What I didn't like: This just can't be the last Off book. It can't, because I enjoy this series so much, I will always want more. Fortunately, it seems that there may BE more, so I don't really have anything not to like. YAY.

I was floored there were so many editing issues in this book. Lots of instances of an extra word in a sentence.
Luckily the story is worth skipping those little pesky things.

REVIEW:
The story:
Flynn is no stranger to running into a burning building to save people, but the day he jumps through a window to find Rowan, unconscious and handcuffed to a bed, he wants to do more than save her from the fire; he wants to help her start a new life away from the dangerous drug dealing ex-boyfriend. At first Rowan wants nothing more than for him to leave her alone, even if that means sleeping on the streets, but the safety of her beloved dog Capone pushes her to stay a few nights with her heroic fireman.
Slowly Rowan begins to trust Flynn and a tentative and quite unique bond develops between them. As Rowan starts to rebuild her life, she starts to appreciate having a friend like Flynn around to support her - something that she's never had before. But as they're friendship strengthens, so does their romantic attraction and that creates tension between them as they start to want different things from the relationship. The question is, can Rowan let go of her fears and take a chance on Flynn?
The characters:
Flynn the firefighter with a hero complex has devoted his life to rescuing others, after loosing his girlfriend in a house fire at only 18 years old. He may be a tough, muscly hero, but deep down he's actually quite a softie - and I loved that about him. He's very genuine in wanting to help Rowan, and watching him fall for her was so sweet.
Rowan, while being a little difficult to warm to at first, grew on me over the course of the book. After being ignored by her wealthy parents as a child she want to prove not only to them but to herself that she is capable of doing something with her life. As a result she's very stubborn and doesn't want handouts from anyone, including Flynn. She grows as a character a great deal throughout this book, and by the end she is a much stronger and happy person.
The romance:
I love when a romance begins as a friendship and that exactly what happens here. As Flynn and Rowan get to know each other they develop a special and meaningful friendship. However it's not long before they both realise there is an attraction burning between them. And while Flynn would be more than happy to explore these feeling, Rowan is reluctant to risk her first real friendship. Of course it's only a matter of time before the sexual tension boils over and when it does…phew it get HOT!! Flynn & Rowan prove that love is like friendship on fire!
The Writing:
I loved how Sawyer brought all the other characters from previous books into the epilogue. And although you don't need to of read the other books to read this one, those who have followed the series are sure the LOVE the conclusion (well for now anyway, as I'm still hoping Sawyer will continue the series in the future). All the characters stories come together for a beautifully heartfelt & funny scene at the end - it was perfect.
FINAL WORD:
With a fresh storyline and strong characters this was a another great addition to the Off Series. I have absolutely adored these books, and while I hope that Sawyer does decide to write more of them in the future, Off Chance gives great closure to all the character's storylines!

This fifth book in Sawyer Bennett’s “Off” Series is about Flynn (Renner’s brother) and Rowan. As is the case with all of my reads by Sawyer, I enjoyed the story.
Flynn saves Rowan from a dangerous situation with her ex. Instead of the story being about keeping Rowan away from that danger, I was happy, instead, to be treated to Flynn and Rowan establishing a close friendship. I did get frustrated with Rowan for her hot & cold attitude about taking things further with Flynn, but I also understood her reasoning.
Really sweet story!

The epilogue and the updates on all past characters is what saved this book. There's such a thing as a slow burn, but then there's the risk of taking it too far and the flame burning out. The peak took too long for me. Once I got there, I no longer cared. Very disappointing wrap up to this series.

Flynn Caldwell, our last Caldwell to fall in love is a firefighter who saved our heroine, Rowan Paige. Flynn was a perfect man and even though he has some strong hero complex. I think it's amazing that he saved Rowan and stayed by her as a friend. Even when Flynn fell in love with Rowan, he stayed strong with her and I think it's amazing how the restraint Flynn had to not push Rowan beyond herself was amazing.
I absolutely loved the chemistry and romance between Flynn and Rowan and I'm so glad that Flynn pushed her (gently) and their love came together.

I absolutely ADORED this! I absolutely loved these two together. If you need a series of good guys, you need to read this series.
I'm a huge fan of friends to lovers, but this has a side of damsel in distress that can hold her own. I loved Rowan's backstory and how she overcame so much from her past but also how Flynn help resolve those issues with her.
Flynn is hands down the BEST hero out of this series! When I started this series I wasn't sure how far is dive in. But I'm so glad I hung in because this goes to show that even the fifth book of a series can be the best.

I really struggled with this one. I really couldn't stand Rowan. God, this girl was rough. I get that she had a bad situation growing up, but damn, I still don't get why she's so thick. And to have this last for literally 80% of the book, yeah, it didn't work for me.
I loved Flynn. He was so patient with her.
I loved the prior books, but this one didn't work for me.

Well ladies…it’s finally time to meet Flynn Caldwell, schmexy fireman for the FDNY! Let me just say O M G Sawyer Bennett has done it again. This is the fifth (and hopefully not final) book in the Off Series and I enjoyed it just as much as the first four.
Flynn…is…AMAZING! He is one of the most caring, understanding, and patient male characters that I have ever read about. A tragedy strikes him when he is a young man and he shapes his adult life to be the best man he can be as he seeks absolution. Becoming a fireman was his way of saving lives, I think it makes him feel better about not having a part in saving someone from his past.
His career leads him to a fire (of course) where he rescues a young woman, our leading lady, Rowan Page. She is scared and is now hiding from her past, with the help of Flynn. At first I really didn’t trust her, when you read about her past and who she was involved with you will understand. Flynn seemed to feel that he had to continue to rescue her, even after she was safe from the fire.
“Yes…there is no doubt in my mind that Rowan is broken. And it’s equally as clear that I want to try to fix her.”
I kept hoping that she was not going to take advantage of his caring heart and screw him over. What started out as a relationship based on a savior complex slowly turns into more. They quickly become friends and have such flirty banter I laughed out loud more than once.
“There’s never anything funny about a beautiful, bra-less woman. That’s something I take very seriously,” I tell her with a slight grin.
Flynn has not only opened up his home to Rowan he is opening up his heart. When we read from Rowan’s point of view we can see that she is totally into him as well, but what is holding her back…she keeps him at such a distance. Rowan is trying to save herself from heartbreak, she doesn’t want to lose their friendship. Flynn continues to be respectful about Rowan’s hesitations, although that doesn’t stop him from trying.
“Fuck,” he hisses. “If you keep looking at me like that, I won’t be responsible for the way you walk tomorrow.”
Hehehe, he really does have a way with words ;) Rowan resists but she realizes just how great Flynn really is.
“Damn that Flynn Caldwell and his devious charm.”
I loved reading as their relationship developed. I was rooting for them all along. It was back and forth, just when things got hot and steamy and headed for more…Rowan ran away scared with her tail tucked between her legs and put her walls of steel back up. Just when Flynn thinks…
“She’s feeling right now…with her heart. She’s all in, completely with me.”
Rowan is really unsure and thinks…
“And the scariest thing of all..the thing I fret about all too much, is that if this doesn’t work out, and I lose him, then I won’t survive it.”
Flynn was persistent and respectful at the same time, he did as she asked and remained her friend. Would it be enough for him to wait for her, could he do it or would Rowan push him away again and again? I really hope that you will read this and come back and share your thoughts with me!
Bonus quote….just for fun! Anyone who has read the other 4 books will appreciate this one :)
“I watch as the group of gorgeous me head off to play boy games. Ryan, Nix, Linc, Cillian, and Flynn. Now dayum…that is some prime meat right there.”

I am kind of sad that this is the last book in the Off series, i have totally loved all these stories and the men that star in them, (Sheds a tear, sniffs)
Im praying we get a novella maybe about Linc and Ever to see if Rowen helps to fill there dreams of a family, (Please, begging on my knees).
The prologue of this book practically had me in bits its so sad, but it does show us how Flynn’s life took shape as a adult his need to protect and save.
This story seems to be a slower burn from the other books but i think that stems from Rowen’s need to have a friendship with Flynn. I think it is very sad that a 23 year old woman has no friends, the type of life Rowen has lead up to meeting Flynn breaks your heart, the loneliness she has lived through and the fact that she thinks that is ok, that is just the hand she has been delt .
Flynn is just the sweetest easy going guy ever and hes a fire fighter (swoon). He loves with his whole being and will not take anything less from Rowen, which scares the hell out of her so we go through the will they wont they, and at times i was screaming in my head at Rowen to just think about what she was saying on repeat to Flynn about just being friends.
When Flynn leaves it was so sad, but i think Rowen needed to feel what life was like without Flynn to really understand her feelings for him, that gave her the guts to really tell him how she felt.
The chemistry between Rowan and Flynn was smoking hot, they had a passion that could not be ignored no matter how hard they tried. This story just flowed so well it kept you sucked into the plot right to the very end.
It was nice to have a catch up with all the other characters from previous books, the wedding was beautifully written and the epilogue was awesome!
This book is a emotional journey of sadness, tears, fun, laughter, friendship, steamy sex, and love to finish off a wonderful series of books that i am very sure i will read over and over again.
These books can be read as stand alone, but read them in order they are written in and the reading experience is so much better, you will fall in love with each member of this great mixed up family.

Can two people with shattered past's find true love in the future ? Even if there past's made there future for love look unreachable they have to keep trying ! Flynn looses the love of his life and keeps trying to save everyone he crosses paths with until his path crosses with Rowan. Yes her past was not the same as Flynn's but in away it was she also lost love but she doesn't need saving she is a survivor in her own right and doesn't need his saving, so she thought..... Can two people with shattered pasts get through fires, fights, kidnappings, attempted murders, drugs, plus everyday struggles to be together ?
Rowan will not find true love and happiness until she forgives the past and Flynn brings the past to her. They both need to see the light and family sometimes is the key to your own success !
Celebrations, holidays and just everyday life, when family understands what is happening around you and they see it and you don't, they step up to the plate like the Caldwell's always and show you the light. Nix, Emily, Linc, Ever, Cillian, Renner, Nora, Jack and Sandy and Pete too all lend a hand in the process with helping these two people see the light.
This story was amazing !! The books always seem to get better and better......Of Course Ryan and Linc would be my favorite because I am a huge Ranger fan but Nix stole your heart and then Cillian being the rocker just rocked you and then Flynn comes along being a fireman and has the instinct to save everyone and my husband being a fireman too just stole my Heart !! Being able to see the whole Caldwell/Burnham clan and what they are all doing now was fantastic ! I am hoping for more .......
It was an honor to receive an ARC copy of this book for a honest review and it was unbelievably great writing !!

Let me start by saying that I am a big Sawyer Bennett fan. I mean HUGE. I have been hooked on the Off series since page one of Off Sides. When Off Limits came out I thought, " I love Nix way more than I loved Ryan." Then I met Linc. And then Cillian swept me off of my feet. Now, I have to say, I am so glad I met Flynn last.
Flynn. A NYC firefighter with a major hero complex (for good reason). He is the last we will see of the Caldwell clan (don't worry if you are an Off series fan, you get plenty of peeks at the others in this story!). What do I love about Flynn? He isn't some philandering guy who suddenly changes his ways, nor a total jerk who all of a sudden turns in to a romance king. He is a nice guy bent on "saving" things. Then he meets Rowan.
Rowan is my favorite type of heroine. She is the kind of girl who doesn't need saving. A strong female character, Rowan finds herself in difficult situations, but is more than capable of finding her way out. Reluctant to accept help, and determined to prove she can make it on her own, her attitude clashes wonderfully with Flynn's "save the world" outlook.
What I love about this story is that there may be some instant attraction, but the relationship builds beautifully between these two over time. When they finally decide to take the leap (I'm not spoiling the story, you knew THAT was going to happen), it is HOT!
Rumor has it that this may be the last book in the Off series. I will definitely be said to see all of these boys go, but hopefully Ms. Bennett will come up with some more lovely gentlemen to sweep us away!

I liked it but I didn't love it as much as the other books in the series.
The last book and the remaining single guy is Flynn. He is a firefighter and saves Rowan from a house fire. Being homeless and jobless he helps her out.
I was expecting more of a story with Rowan's ex, but that fizzled out pretty quickly. What pushed the rating up for me was seeing all the characters together at the end and what an amazing epilogue!
So, wasn't my personal favourite of the series (my fav in order would go: 2, 4, 3, 1, 5). This was a perfect hero meets scared guarded heroine insta love type story. Which sadly isn't my favourite storyline.
But If you've read the other books, this one is not to be missed x

Wow this series only gets better and better! Flynn Caldwell oh swoon- he's one gorgeous firefighter with a hero complex. Flynn and Rowan meet in dire circumstances and when Flynn see's her beautiful eyes he sees it as his duty to help her. Rowan is one tough cookie having learned to rely only on herself at a young age. She is quite hesistant to accept help from Flynn. She's doesn't trust easily, has a wall around her heart, but cannot help feeling Flynn's actions as genuine. I loved the story and Flynn's sincerity, the way he treated Rowan and opened up to her. Rowan was so tough and hard around the edges due to her past which was understandable. There were times when I wanted to shake her for pushing Flynn away!!! I loved seeing the whole gang- Ryan, Danny, Emily, Nix, Linc, Ever, Renner and Cillian!! This is such a great series definitely a must read!! I loved Flynn he's another sexy Caldwell to add to the list!

I know I said it before but I'll say it again...Sawyer Bennett you've done it again!!!! Never ceases to amaze me how she can write so intensely and I can feel every emotion from every character!!!
She had me crying just from the prologue! OMG, what a way to start a book!!
Rowan and Flynn are fantastic, believable characters! I fell in love with them both! Who wouldn't love a smokin hot fire fighter! **sigh** But he was so much more than that! He was heroic, sweet, loving, understanding and so patient with Rowan and her issues! In fact I was getting frustrated with Rowan, not letting him in, but when she did...hoooooo wee!!! Those were some steamy scenes!
My favorite character was Capone!! What a dog!! So adorable!! :)
I also loved the fact that we got to read about the rest of the Caldwell men and their woman!!
Great job yet again Sayer Bennett! Thank you so much for the opportunity at the ARC!!

This is book 5 in the Off series and I'm happy to say it is a firm favourite with me. Flynn Caldwell is a firefighter, a job he felt he needed to do following the death of his high school girlfriend at the age of 18. Fast forward a few years and we have Flynn attending a callout and rescuing the beautiful but very much broken Rowan Page. He has a true hero complex and is a genuinely good guy, and not in a pathetic way either, he's still a man's man. The circumstances of the rescue lead Ryan to save her in more ways than one and they become fast friends. Sadly due to her past Rowan does not trust easily and no matter how much Flynn tries to bring her walls down, she is not going to let herself feel more than friendship. Fun, sexy, happy, sad, told in dual POV, another fab read from Sawyer Bennett that also gives us sneak peaks into all the previous 'Off' series characters.

I Beta read this book and OMG!! What can I say? I have loved this entire series from the beginning but I will say this one is my favorite of all :)
The prologue broke my heart but that gave me a better understanding of Flynn and the type of person he is. So when he rescues Rowan, I was hooked from then.
Flynn and Rowan..how cute are they? I love how their friendship/relationship grew. Rowan held back and was so stubborn, but we get why she does that as well. The story was amazing!
Loved seeing all the other characters from the other series..the scene with Nix and Em (tears..but definitely happy ones), Linc and Ever..<3
The Epilogue = AMAZING!!! Wonderful conclusion to the series!!
If you haven't ready the other "Off" books, what are you waiting for? :) They are amazing! Sawyer has become one of my favorite authors and I look forward to reading more from her :)
