From bestselling author Q.B. Tyler comes a new spicy forbidden romance releasing August 6, 2026!

River:
Unlike my more responsible and settled older brother, I’ve always been considered the life of the party.
Of course, women have used other words to describe me.
Player. Womanizer. Heartbreaker.
But I’m ready for a change.
I’m ready to settle down.
I want more than the random nights with faceless women who are too young for me.
That is until I meet the charming, gorgeous twenty-one year old woman on my flight home.
Our connection is instant.
The tension is undeniable.
And I find myself ignoring all of my prior convictions for a few weeks of fun before she heads off for college.
Sure, I want to settle down, but nothing is wrong with some harmless fun in the meantime, right?
Sloane:
Okay, so I lied to the hot guy from the airport about my age.
I’m nineteen, not twenty-one.
And about what I’m doing here in the States after traveling with my family for the past decade.
So, essentially everything.
But he’ll never know.
It’ll just be a fun fling before I start my senior year of high school.
And sure, he’s a high school teacher, but that would be a ridiculous coincidence… right?

307 pages, Kindle Edition

The Cheerleader is Off Limits by QB Tyler eARC Review 🖤

Holy hotness. This book is fire. The taboo, forbidden, age gap combo- I gobbled it right up.

River and Sloane meet each other at an airport and hit it off instantly. Their chemistry and attraction to one another is instant. After a HOT, filthy couple of weeks together it’s time for River to start the school year teaching Bio and being the head football coach. What he isn’t expecting is Sloane to show up on the first day as one of his students. Especially after she told him she was starting college and 21 years old. 🫣

The forbidden aspect of this one is perfection. I am obsessed with River and his filthy mouth. The man knows what he wants and even though he needs to stay away from Sloane…he just can’t help himself. 😏

HOT. HOT. HOT.
I fricken devoured this book, left no crumbs and QB keeps her title- Queen of spice 🌶️

What to expect:
Teacher x student
Forbidden
Age gap (19 years)
Daddy kink
Taboo
Obsession

Thank you so much QB and Chaotic for the arc!

I absolutely gobbled this book up in one sittinggggg and had the best time with it😍

River & Sloane’s story was everything I hoped it would be. It was spicy, fun, packed with delicious tension, & every bit as forbidden as my little heart loves. Sloane may be young, but she’s incredibly mature & knows exactly what she wants… & what she wants is daddyyyy River🥵

Y’all… this man had me in an absolute chokehold from beginning to end. The hot AF older coach/teacher who tries so hard to stay away from the one woman he absolutely shouldn’t want!?!? SAY LESS. Oh, & he also likes to be called “daddy”…excuse me I’m feral💦🤣

If you’re looking for a quick, addictive, spicy read, I can’t recommend this one enough. You’ll devour it just as fast as I did!

Thank you so much QB Tyler for this ARC🩷

Review of Advance Copy Received from the Author.

“You’re trouble when you drink,” she tells me.
“You were already trouble for me sober.”


It was never in question whether I was going to love this book, Q.B. Tyler never disappoints. She does forbidden romance so incredibly well, and this was no exception. I devoured this book in less than 5 hours.

My only complaint was that I needed more of these two. I’m obsessed. 😩♥️

Going into it, I was a little nervous because I typically don’t read age-gap romances where the FMC is still in high school. I was worried it would make me uncomfortable, but Q.B. Tyler handled it thoughtfully. She makes it very clear from the start that the FMC is 19 years old, acknowledges the age gap throughout the story, and emphasizes that the MMC never takes advantage of her. They don’t even meet until she’s already 19, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while reading.

My only real criticism is that I wish it had been longer. The ending felt a little abrupt, and I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to these characters.

Overall, another 10/10 ⭐️ for Q.B. Tyler. Thank you for the ARC I absolutely loved it, and now I’m just wishing there were a few more chapters.

Oh how I missed QB’s writing!! River Kincaid 🫠🥵🔥 is all I have to say. 10/10 no notes and why you are the QUEEN of spicy taboo romance. I DEVOURED this book in a day. Not sure what you put in these books but they never disappoint.

The chemistry between River & Sloane is IMMEDIATE and you can feel it coming off the pages.

Sloane was such a fierce sassy FMC and I loved it! Yes she was 19 years younger than River but she had no issue speaking her mind, telling him exactly what she wants and pursuing this relationship even though he’s her teacher 🤭

River Kincaid is a the newest “daddy” and I’m OBSESSED. This man was a “fuck boy” through and through however he had his reasons for no relationships. He decides he finally wants to settle down and enter Sloane. 2 weeks is what it took for him to fall until the truth comes out.

The tension, forbidden romance and SPICE was all top tier and I wanted more.

Thank you so much for the ARC

ARC Review
The Cheerleader Is Off Limits - By Q.B. Tyler

One thing about me, I am a sucker for a teacher x student trope. Plus a 19 year age gap and add in a daddy kink. Hell to the yes 🥵

This book was such a fun read. I was hooked. It had chemistry, spice, emotions, plot.

One thing I love about Q B Tyler’s writing is that she writes the best spice scenes but it doesn’t take away from the storyline like some books can. You get these absolutely filthy scenes but a whole lot of plot so you don’t feel like you are just reading spice after spice.
The story just makes you wanna keep reading.

The chemistry between River and Sloane and that man’s dirty mouth ! I love these characters. Sloane is 19 but is very mature and lived a busy life in her young years travelling the world. And River may be 38 but has the looks and personality of younger man so balance out this age gap.

Another book by Q B Tyler I highly recommend.

Thank you for the opportunity to receive this book as an arc.

Holy spicy! Q.B. Tyler has knocked it out of the park again! I instantly fell in love with River and Sloane’s chemistry! The forbidden-ness was exactly was I was hoping for. The lies and secrecy and the longing between them was written so well. Getting a glimpse of Rowan and Ellie and their family was another bonus that made me so happy.

I only wish we got to see just a bit more of them as a couple not sneaking around or if they are still sneaking around, I wanted to see them as a couple behind closed doors. I LOVE the spice, don’t get me wrong, but I wanted a little bit more depth to their relationship outside of the physical intimacy. But overall I enjoyed this book and can always count on Q.B. Tyler to deliver! 👏🏼

65%- like I know, I KNOW, it’s BAD but like why is it soooo FXCKN good being bad?! 🥵

69%- oh they’re both so fxckn PETTY & ykw I’m not mad at it 🤷🏻‍♀️😏 AND 69% being the start of ONE of the HOTTEST scenes in this book?! You did this on purpose QB & idk how to prove it!

74%- ok what does this say about me that I’m fxckn SAD that they’re gonna keep their hands OFF of each other?! 😩 I mean I HAVE TO BE OVULATING!! Right?!!

I’ve ALWAYS stated that QB Tyler is the QUEEN of Forbidden Romance & The Cheerleader is Off Limits, further PROVES it!
I DEVOURED TCIOL, in ONE sitting, just like River DEVOURS Sloane on a DAILY, babes 🧎🏻‍♀️🥵💦

If you want something SEXY, SMUTTY, & SCANDALOUS (in the BEST fxckn way) then you ABSOLUTELY need The Cheerleader is Off Limits!

Thank You to Chaotic Creatives, QB Tyler, & Team for this ARC. & as always all thoughts & opinions are my own.

Ah, QB Tyler is my queen when it comes to forbidden / taboo romance - And this one, once again delivered. I devoured it within 24 hours!

- Forbidden / Taboo
- Age Gap (19 years)
- Chance Meet
- Teacher / Student

5/5 stars with 4/5 spice!

River is 38YO and ready to settle down. After his first love left him broken hearted over a decade ago, he has found joy in being an uncle & great coach / high school teacher to his students. But is now ready to settle down. At the airport on his way home after the Summer, he meets Sloane at the airport bar who says she is 21YO. He does think that is too young for him, and finds himself enjoying the banter & flirting. But Sloane won't let him go that quickly. And suddenly, they find themselves in a short term 2 week relationship. They agree to just have fun for 2 weeks before Sloane starts college. Only Sloane isn't due to start college, she is due to enter her senior year of high school. Oh, and Sloane is only 19YO.

Sloane has spent her teen years travel the world with her family. Now it is time for her to do her senior year like a normal student, to get into the college she desires. She is sent back home to live with her aunt & uncle, and her cousin who is like a sister to her. She wasn't expecting to fall for a 38YO man, but she can't get enough of him. She knows she has done the wrong thing in lying to him about her age, but she can't get enough. Until that is ruined on her first day of high school when she finds River is her biology teacher.

River tries his hardest to stay away from Sloane. He is horrified he slept with one of his students unknowingly. But as the year goes on, River finds himself choosing Sloane over his job. Which may cost him more than just his career...

River was quite immature for 38YO and I can see how Sloane thought he was in his high 20s and not high 30s, while Sloane was definitely more mature for a 19YO. They worked. And I hope we get to read more about them in the future. It was also nice to catch up with Ellie & Rowan from the previous book - "The Nanny is Off Limits". I enjoyed reading about River being a great uncle, and I know him & Sloane will make great parents one day.

OMG, this book was SO WORTH THE WAIT!!! The Cheerleader Is Off Limits by Q.B. Tyler is book two in the Off Limits Duology. HOT, sexy, the perfect forbidden tension, age gap, taboo student/teacher book as only Q.B. writes!

River and Sloane. He’s the hot, tattooed high school Biology teacher and football coach. Known to be a huge playboy, he’s at a point of wanting more in his life. She’s the high school senior. Come back to the States after being homeschooled her whole life living an amazing life with her family traveling the world. She’s feisty, sassy, and so fierce for her age. One chance meeting in the airport. She lies and says she’s 21. Their age gap is obvious, he’s 38, she’s actually 19! (And well some may say huh? Q.B. wrote it so respectfully and perfectly) And the chemistry is instant. The connection is palpable. She has a maturity about her. He has just this sexy vibe that makes this girl feel so seen. I LOVED their banter! The text messages were so so good! I loved right away you could just feel it was just so much more than physical. And then it all crumbles the day she walks in his Biology classroom. He’s now her teacher and they had NO CLUE! The push and pull, the absolute yearning between these two. Absolutely inevitable! First, the passion between these two was hotttttt as fire! Again, Q.B. writes forbidden and taboo so perfectly. Every look, every touch, the dirty mouths on them BOTH. Burning hot fire!! Second, can you say Daddy?! I didn't think this could be my kink, but hello with these two, yes please!! And yes he is possessive, obsessed and dominant, BUT I LOVED that she was too!

I loved seeing Rowan, Ellie and the kids, they made the story even that much better to have them a huge part of it!

If anything, I wanted it to be even longer and not end. The story just pulled you in from page one and I devoured it in hours! If you love a spicy, taboo romance that has heart, emotion and the perfect HEA, read this one asap!

✨ARC Review✨
The Cheerleader Is Off Limits
By Q.B. Tyler

“Oh my God, River Kincaid you are so into me.”  “Yeah. I really fucking am.”
“I might feel the same.”

“I do want that. I want to f*** your slutty little mouth so f***ing hard, baby. But I need your p*ssy first. I need to know that you feel as good as you taste.” 

“I think it’s pretty f***ing obvious that I want you. My body can still want you when every other part of me knows I can’t. I shouldn’t.”

Oh River and Sloane are so freaking yummy!! Q.B. Tyler does it again giving us River and Sloane! We have a new Daddy to add to our Q.B. Tyler collection, and Daddy River is freaking hot! I am just obsessed with these two!
River and Sloane meet during the summer, 2 weeks before school starts. What I really like about this story is that Q.B. Tyler really set up their story so that there wasn’t any icky vibes. These two had never met before or been in the same orbit of each other. Sloane is 19 going on 20 when she meets River, but tells him she is 21. Sloane is going to public school for the first time in her life for her senior year. Sloane had previously been traveling the world with her family and was homeschooled. The school she ends up going to just happens to be the same school that River teaches at. From there the struggle begins and trying to do the right thing, but when feelings are involved it’s never easy.
Their story deliciously toes the line of forbidden and taboo, and I ate up every crumb!

Thank you so much Q.B. Tyler and Team Q.B. Tyler for the chance to ARC read!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS BOOK FOR WHAT FEELS LIKE FOREVER!!!

The second this ARC landed on my Kindle, I literally dropped everything. I told myself i will read "just a few chapters"... yeah, that was a lie because I looked up and HOURS had passed. I was completely gone.

Q.B. Tyler, WHAT DO YOU PUT IN YOUR BOOKS?! Because I swear every single time I think she can't outdo herself... she does. She is the reason I keep coming back to forbidden romance. Nobody does the tension, the angst, the chemistry, and the spice like she does. She just gets me.

And River...🫠 EXCUSE ME?? This man had me giggling, blushing, kicking my feet, and questioning my sanity. He's ridiculously hot, charming, protective, and I was obsessed with him from page one. I didn't stand a chance.

But honestly? Sloane completely stole my heart too. I LOVED her. She's young, but she's so much wiser than people give her credit for. She's sassy, funny, confident, and never backs down. I loved how she challenged River instead of just falling at his feet. She was such a fun heroine to read.

The chemistry between these two?? Absolutely INSANE. Every scene together had me screaming internally. I kept telling myself, "Okay, one more chapter," and then suddenly I was halfway through the book.

I'm so, SO thankful I got the chance to read this ARC because this was hands down one of my most anticipated releases of the year, and it somehow exceeded all of my expectations.

Q.B. Tyler, you've done it again. At this point, I'll read your grocery list.🤭

Dear diary,

Serious question. Can a book get you pregnant? Holy f@!k, this was HOT. It had everything you’d hope for in a Q.B. forbidden romance: tension that’s undeniable, chemistry that’s palpable, and smut that’s scandalously sexy in the best way possible.

Q.B. Tyler simply does 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 miss 👏🏻, and the taboo queen proved that once again with her latest release,𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐟 𝐎𝐟𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬, coming out August 6th.

River Kincaid is a biology teacher, high school football coach, and (newly) reformed playboy. He’s ready to put his womanizing ways behind him and start settling down. But when he meets 21-year-old Sloane on a flight and they instantly hit it off, he puts those efforts aside and does whatever it takes to get a few weeks with the girl he can’t stop thinking about. Why not? He’ll never see her again once she leaves for college.

So what if Sloane lied about her age, and she’s actually 19? So what if she isn’t headed off to college? So what if she’s actually a high school senior, and Mr. Kincaid’s newest student? I support women’s rights, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬. Leave my girl alone!

I devoured this. Left no crumbs. & if you’re looking for a forbidden romance filled with an age gap done well, a man so down bad he’d set his world on fire, and smut that’ll have you quite literally dry heaving, you will too.

Thank you so much to Chaotic Creative, Q.B. Tyler, & her team for the ARC & absolute sex pot that is daddy River

There is no better author than Q.B. Tyler when it comes to the forbidden and taboo relationships!!

River and Sloane were PHENOMENAL!!

I have been anxiously awaiting River’s book since it was announced and when we met him in The Nanny is Off Limits

Sloane is seriously a legend!! She was a damn strong and independent girl with a side of vulnerability and at 19 knew what she wanted and went for it!!

River is just such an amazing guy!! He owns up to the fact that he has a playboy past but knows that he is ready to settle down and start being serious and change is ways!!

Absolutely loved how River and Sloane’s story started and avalanched from there…The sexy time, the sweet moments, the angst was all palpable while reading!!

I loved how flawed both of these characters were but even with everything against them, they wanted to be with each other and were going to overcome the obstacles!!

It made me so happy to see Rowan, Ellie, Margot, SJ and Isla again…Loved the when Isla told River that she “has a 7 o’clock with Barbie, so he may need to make an appointment”

Mack, this boy made me like him, then made me want to punch him, then wanted to hug him…I know we never met his parents but the brief thought River had about his mom made me think “his mother would be ashamed”

This book absolutely met all my expectations and I am so ready for the new release in November!

*Thank you Chaotic Influencers and QB Tyler for the ARC**

I love myself a forbidden book and QB Tyler is the queen! You want forbidden? Check! You want spice? Check! You want a DADDY?! Check check! Phew, this book had some heat!

What I absolutely love about QB’s writing is her ability to write her characters as real, flawed humans, but who are able to communicate their wants and needs like adults. River and Sloane may have started off rocky with her lying about being 21 and actually being 19 and in school no less, but they worked so well together.

Sloane was wise beyond her years, yet also still a teen navigating life’s tough choices. River was a playboy, who was looking for a real connection that would lead to settling down. Despite what one would considered as being in opposite places in life, they both provided exactly what the other one was looking for.

While overall this was a solid book, I do wish we got to see more of them as an official couple. The ending was a little too quick for my liking and I wish we had some more time to really see how they would work outside of the forbidden aspect of their relationship. Alas, the spice was piping, the chemistry sizzling, and if you love QB’s books, you are gonna enjoy this one.

The Cheerleader Is Off Limits–

Q.B. Tyler

“Please, what, baby. Tell me what you need. Whatever it is, you know I’ll do it, don’t you? You already have me wrapped around your finger.”

Imagine you meet a hot guy on a plane and fudge your age just a little bit so you can fool around and then... he's your teacher. Whoops!

Tropes:
– Teacher/student
– Age gap (19 years)
– Forbidden

Q.B. Tyler is back with her signature spice in another forbidden, addicting story that I devoured in one sitting. I honestly can’t remember the last time that I read a book so quickly, but I literally could not put this down. River Kincaid, you are THE man. Plane Daddy for life.

This book was the perfect completion of the duet and definitely one of my favorite series by Q.B. Tyler. A series that is written for the older sisters, the independent girls who have always taken care of themselves and the ones who have been made to grow up a little too soon. The girls who had to figure it all out without much help and the girls who could never be anything less than perfect because there was no choice. For girls like me.

Filled with palpable tension, off-the-charts spice, and delicious sneaking around… this book was such a fun ride.

Thank you so much to Q.B. Tyler for the ARC!

ARC Review
Age gap.
Taboo.
Obsession.
Yearning.
Spice
Need I say more?
Q.B. has officially done it again. I don't know how she keeps making age-gap and taboo romance feel this addictive, but I'm happily eating it up every single time.
Getting to return to the Kincaid family felt like coming home, and seeing my favorite playboy, River, finally fall?
Perfection. Watching the man who never planned on settling down become completely consumed by his dream girl in just two weeks had me kicking my feet... until the truth came crashing down. One lie changes everything, and suddenly staying away is the only option... right?
The TENSION. The FORBIDDEN romance. The emotional turmoil. And don't even get me started on the SPICE. Q.B. knows exactly how to balance scorching chemistry with heart-wrenching emotion, and I devoured every single page.
Now excuse me while I beg for a sequel because I'm nowhere near ready to say goodbye to River, the Kincaid brothers, or this world.
Q.B. Has always been an immediately drop everything and read for me and to be able to devour this ARC was a dream!

Sloane and River.

Mother of pearl.

Let me just say … I’m absolutely feral for an age-gap romance, and QB does it so freaking well.

This starts out with River being super angry. We find out why, and you shut your mouth because the story has begun.

River is the easygoing teacher everyone loves … until his new student turns out to be someone he previously hooked up with. The second that happened? I was kicking my feet and grinning like an idiot.

These two are perfect, and we are getting little bits of each of their lives through the story.

I loved the texting questions woven throughout the story - they added such a fun layer to their relationship. And the spice? Whew. My gosh. Yes.

The tension, the chemistry, the angst … it all just worked.

At this point, if QB writes it, I’m reading it. Period.

Five stars all the way through. Thank you so much for providing this advanced copy. I appreciate it so much.

Holyyyyy HOTTTT!! 🥵🥵

Taboo ✅
Forbidden ✅
Age gap ✅
Daddy ✅
SPICE 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I picked this book up and COULD NOT put it down! There are certain things I love and can always count on from QB, and that’s an MMC with a filthy mouth 🤭 and an epic dry humping scene 🫣. Dare I say this is my new fave from the queen of spice?! Definitely my new favorite QB Daddy!

The hotter they are, the harder they fall… or however that saying goes 😂. River was so down bad for Sloane and couldn’t stay away even after he found out she lied. He risked it all to be with her, and all I see is green flags. We love a committed man 😍. The chemistry and banter between them is everything, and I love how sassy Sloane is. She keeps River on his toes and doesn’t back down when she knows what she wants.

I will be immediately doing a reread as soon as the audiobook is released; it is THAT good!

Thank you so much, QB and Chaotic Creatives, for the eARC!

Thank you to Q.B Tyler and her team for the ARC of The Cheerleader is Off Limits!!

Q.B Tyler is truly the queen of taboo romance. She knows exactly how to push the boundaries and create stories that are packed with tension, chemistry and just the right amount of angst. Once I started this one, I couldnt put it down.

Sloane Hunter and River Kincaid absolutely delivered. Their chemistry was off the charts and their obsession with one another was radiating off the pages. I love that Sloane know exactly what and who she wanted from the very beginning; the hot older biology teacher and football coach covered in tattoos that she met on the flight home. River may have tried to keep his distance but he never stood a chance. That man is absolutely filthy and his inability to resist Sloane made the tension between them so much better.

I also love that we got to see Rowan and Ellie again. I love that they were still such an important part of the story and it was so fun getting to see little glimpses into their lives.

This book was everything I want in a taboo age gap romance, intense chemistry, irresistible tension and characters completely addicted to eachother.

Let me tell you, River is the appropriate name for the MMC because with a mouth like that 👀😉. QB Tyler always does forbidden in such a hot way and it makes you question your own moral compass in the best way possible. I was yearning for this book to continue going - this was such a quick read, right under 300 pages and it could have been 600 the way I wanted to devour the banter between River and Sloane.

River meets a hot younger girl in an airport as he’s flying home to Maryland after training. They quickly hit it off and the banter & chemistry between them is off the charts. Sloane is hiding her real age because he’s just a hot fling….right? Her real age gets exposed when she walks into her class, at her new school, and her teacher happens to be River. What are the odds? Will they be able to stay away from eachother? You need to read it to find out!

THIS. BOOK. 😮‍💨🔥

This was everything I want in a taboo age gap romance and then some. The tension? Delicious. The forbidden vibes? Absolutely unhinged. The “we know we shouldn’t, but we also know we’re going to” energy? Inject it straight into my veins.

I finished this in ONE DAY because apparently sleep and responsibilities are optional when a book has me this hooked. My only complaint is that it ended because I was absolutely not ready to say goodbye.

The chemistry was everything, the spice delivered, and the angst had me completely invested. And that detention scene? Yeah… that will forever be engraved in my brain. 🫠

Q.B. Tyler knows how to write a forbidden romance that keeps you turning pages while simultaneously yelling at the characters to make better choices (even though you’re secretly loving every second of their terrible decisions).

5 ⭐️ // 3🌶

- Teacher x Student
- Forbidden
- SPIIICY
- Age Gap

Being back in the world of QBs writing has literally made my week!!! Because OH MY FREAKING GOD DID THIS BOOK SLAP!! As we ALL know QB is the Queen of forbidden romance and she wears that crown for good reason. Because River “Daddy” Kincaid just shot up to the top of my fav MMCs by QB. The way I did not want this book to end....I would not be mad if there was another River and Sloane book or novella or anything lol. This also might be one of my fav QB books ever. Every minute of this book was 5 stars. It had the plot, it had the spice, and it kept you wanting more! 1000/10 recommend and I cannot wait for this to be out on audio so I can read it AGAIN!

Thank you to QB Tyler for an advanced copy to read. This is one of my favorites of yours and I can't wait to get Daddy Kincaid on my bookshelf 😍

When River and Sloane meet, the chemistry between them is instant, and River is completely captivated by her. Although she seems young, he brushes it off until he discovers she's not 21, but 19, and one of the students in his high school class.

River has a reputation as a player, but it's clear he's ready to leave that life behind. I loved how completely gone he was for Sloane. He couldn't stop thinking about her, and she felt just as drawn to him. Their chemistry is undeniable, making it nearly impossible for them to stay away from each other.

Their relationship was hot, filled with tension and very risky. But they were sweet and so perfect together. I was so happy to see them get the happily ever after they both deserved.

Thank you, Q.B. Tyler and Chaotic Creative Services for the ARC.

The queen of taboo has done it again with this student/teacher - age gap romance! Wait for the daddy kink! If you loved the nanny is off limits - the cheerleader is off limits is the one for you! I loved River from the first book but in his own book holy smokes you will be obsessed by this man’s dirty mouth!
Sloane and River meet on a flight where she lies about her age and that she is off to college. Until she walks into his classroom. He cuts off all ties BUT with chemistry like theirs he can’t stay away for long!
Be prepared to be in of one hell of a ride because QB has done it again and I didn’t want to put my kindle down! I feel like with all these age gaps romances between Rowan and River feel Margot needs herself a daddy now!
Thank you to QB and the team at Chaotic Creative services for this eARC in exchange for my honest review

River Kincaid 🫠🥵🔥 is all I have to say.
River and Sloane meet at an airport and the chemistry is instant. A hot, filthy couple of weeks later, River starts the school year teaching Bio and coaching football — only for Sloane to walk into his classroom on day one. As one of his students. After telling him she was 21 and starting college 😭
q.b. Is the QUEEN of spicy forbidden romance, no notes. I DEVOURED this book in a day — what are you putting in these??
And Sloane?? She’s different. She’s the one INITIATING, the one pushing for more (not relationship-wise 👀) — a genuinely positive, confident sexual FMC and it made her THAT much hotter to me.
Plus getting Rowan, Ellie, and the kids from The Nanny is Off Limits back made this story even better 🥹

I'm a sucker for teacher x student, forbidden af romances. Throw on a 19 year age gap? Hell yes! More please, Daddy!
The Cheerleader is Off Limits by QB Tyler has all the elements I love and it delivered! The spice was so good and the tension between these characters was hot as hell. I sincerely appreciated that River's level of maturity matched Sloane's, but the angst leading up to them finally being able to be together had me unable to put this book down!
I loved it so much, I wish it were longer and we could really get to enjoy them finally being settled, but this story was absolutely a page-turner.

Thank you for gifting me an advanced reader copy. Review reflective of my personal opinions

4.5 stars - I ate this one up in one sitting! River and Sloane were the definition of everything I love about a good, spicy age gap romance. Throw in the forbidden element of him being her teacher (she’s 19, so everything’s above board), and this was a good time.

Even though there was a lot of spice, QB still built an emotional connection between the characters from the moment they met. I could’ve read two hundred more pages about them, they were a fun couple!

It was also great seeing River with his brother’s family (Rowan’s book is The Nanny Is Off Limits)! It would’ve been nice seeing more moments of Sloane hanging out with the entire gang, but this book wasn’t about them, so I get it.

Definitely recommend!

✈️🍹🍺👩📱🌮🏫📚🏈👙 At the airport, Sloane unexpectedly met a guy named River, and to her shock, it turned out to be her teacher—who also happened to be a football coach and Neither of them expected that especially River who thought she was a college student but at at the end of the day she turn at to be his student and when he found out the truth, he immediately cut off all contact to protect his career. Despite his efforts to forget her he can't deny what his feelings for her so they secretly embark on a relationship that could lead to disaster or change their lives forever.
