Off Limits: A Spicy Forbidden Affair With My Brother's Hot Best Friend

by Abby Green

Jenna…
I’ve lusted after my older brother’s best-friend, Domenico (Nico) Donato since forever but Nico just sees me as his honorary little sister.
Nico has been abroad for the last few years, working as a photographer in war zones which only amps up his brooding sexiness to the max. In the meantime I’ve been setting up my new business with my bestie and dealing with getting over my last cheating douche of a boyfriend.
But now Nico is home and we end up working together and getting stuck in an elevator for just long enough to realise that actually, Nico is well aware that I’m a woman and this lust is very much a mutual thing.
We can’t keep our hands off each other. It’s the most exciting, illicit sex I’ve ever had.
Because we both know that this thing between us is strictly off limits. If my over-protective brother ever finds out, he’ll kill Nico first and then me.
When Nico has to go to Rome on a work assignment, he asks me to come with him, so we can burn out this very forbidden hot mess in private and get back to normal.
It’s the perfect plan…until it becomes very clear that this off limits affair is just getting started…

“Off Limits: A Spicy Affair with My Brother’s Hot Best Friend” by Abby Green

-Jenna and Nico have each fought their crush on the other for years—until fate traps them in a steamy elevator moment. Their chemistry explodes in Rome, but deeper issues from the past exist. I received a free copy and am voluntarily sharing my honest thoughts.

The story equal parts emotional healing and blazing hot forbidden love. A heartfelt, spicy romance with humor, heat, and second chances.

Funny Quote: “I’d fallen out of the Irish Celtic ancestry tree and hit every branch on the way down. Pale skin, freckles, green eyes, unruly red hair”

This is a spicy city tale about Jenna and Nico, her older brother’s best-friend. She has crushed on Nico but thinks he will never see her as anything more his buddies little sister. The attraction is undeniable and sparks fly! What will her brother do when he finds out passion as ignited between Jenna and Nico? This is a good story with likable characters. I enjoyed the well developed plot and how their story develops.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Jenna and Nico have crushes on each other but their childhoods and her brother stop them from acting on their feelings. I liked how a stopped elevator changes things for them and a hidden affair has them falling in love. I'm glad they put their love above their pasts in the end.
