No Touch Zone
Do you know what happens when you sleep with your best friend’s little sister?
Yeah, me either.
But I’m about to find out.
It never should have happened. That girl has been off-limits for me since day one.
But then we ended up trapped in a blizzard together. One thing led to another, and well…
The rest is pretty self-explanatory.
She told me that I was just a fling. I forgot to tell her that I had already fallen in love.
At the same time that I realized how much she meant to me, someone else did as well.
Now, she’s got a rock the size of a skating rink on her finger and is about to take the wrong last name.
I’m down to the last minute in the fourth quarter, but I’m not sweating it. That’s always when I shine the most, anyways. This
time, my touchdown is going to come in the form of scoring forever with Willow.
First things first, though.
I’ve got to stop Willow from walking down the aisle and marrying the wrong dude.

I enjoyed this book sooo much! 😍😍
Firstly I'd like to thank you Mia.Mi.Jou for the recommendation, it was definitely a winner for me! 💕🥰
This book was hilarious, with great main characters (especially the hero) and it was such a fast and fun read!
Jude (H) meets with Willow (h), his best friend's little sister, at the airport during a blizzard and they're forced to stay together at his hotel room. They get drunk and they get intimate something Willow regrets the morning after because Jude is well known for the attention he gets from women (if you get what I mean). Jude had always a crush on Willow but he never acted on his feelings because he didn't want to lose Wyatt's friendship.
Please note that Willow just got out from her engagement so there's no cheating in this book.
I really liked Willow, she is a determined young woman that she knows what she wants and fights for it but I absolutely adored Jude. As Willow says to him:"There isn't a man alive who is better than you. You're selfless, and kind, and you have a f*cking heart of gold."
I only need to add that he's such a funny guy (I laughed quite a lot in this book) and really handsome from what I get, and that about sums it up.
I really liked this book, I'm definitely going to read the rest of the books in the series and I'm really interested in reading Wyatt's story in particular because he seemed such a sweet guy.

I devoured this book in a day. I feel head over heels for Jude and Willow, and wanted them to have a HEA so badly!
One thing I will admit is that I hate the "forbidden relationship" tag on the brother's best friend trope. The guy is always a player (aka our dear Jude) and falls for a good girl (aka Willow), but her brother doesn't think his buddy is good enough. It irks me every time I see that "forbidden" tag, but putting that aside, there was nothing wrong with Jude. He has a heart of gold -- and his inner circle of grannies will attest to that! Those women cracked me up! Yes, he's slept around quite a bit in the past, but he's always had a secret thing for Willow, and from the moment they sleep together while stranded during a snowstorm in Chicago, he doesn't look at another woman.
I can't say the same for Willow. If anything, she's the one who is flopping back and forth between guys. She was engaged as of the morning she slept with Jude, and then takes BJ back (with little groveling!) one night having slept with Jude that morning. She was kinda judgey of Jude's perceived rep but she was far from a saint.
The push and pull between these characters was great. She was so confused by her feelings for a guy she thought she hated, and he was so afraid of the fact that he had fallen for his best friend's sister. He doesn't think he's relationship material, but there he is, interrupting Willow's wedding and begging for her to take a chance on him...
No Touch Zone was a great sports romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. This is the second book in a series about teammates on a professional football team, and there is a brief appearance by the couple from the first book. But it was nothing that made me feel like I was missing out for not having read that story first. I loved the bits that were dropped about Willow's brother, Wyatt, and the one that got away, so I'm looking forward to reading his book, Hard Pass. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

No Touch Zone is a sports based, forbidden romance story. This was my first Elizabeth Perry book and I immediately fell in love with Jude, even if he is kind of an ass, and Willow. In addition, this book also had a fantastic set of supporting characters in the form of 20 retirees living in a retirement home, and those ladies really make the book that much better. The chemistry between Jude and Willow is intense and immediate. This was a great read. I immediately went to check out Elizabeth Perry’s kindle library and I can’t wait to dive in to something else.

"I love reading Elizabeth Perry books. She has a way of creating a story that you didn't know you needed to read until you finish the very last page and sigh in happiness. This was definitely the case with this book.
It had me hooked to begin with the the trope - best friends little sister. Then add in the little twist that Willow shows up engaged to another man. This I thought brought Jude to the forefront of the story. What was he willing to do to make Willow his? It made for some very entertaining reading that's for sure. But I have to say most of the laugh out loud moments came from Jude's ""ladies"". They were all absolutely awesome and ended up by adding to the story that I wouldn't ever have fathomed until I finished the story.
I honestly cannot recommend this book enough. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book" ~Sharon
I loved Jude and Willow! The chemistry was off the charts and the love/hate thing they had going on was fun to read. The old ladies stole the show. Hilarious! This was a cute sports romance and definitely recommend. ~Andrea
Jude and Willow had off the charts chemistry but each of them fought it so much...but when it came time to fight...Jude came out swinging. Plus all of the side characters made for that much more fun reading. LOL ~Jen

This was an enjoyable sports romance read. I love how Elizabeth writes her books. Her characters are always so interesting and her storylines are always so well told. This one is about Jude and Willow. These two have had a love hate relationship with each other for a long time. Willow is Jude's best friend's little sister. Technically she should be off limits. But one night when they get caught together in a snow storm changes everything. But will Willow give him a chance to prove that he is not the man that she thinks that he is? I absolutely loved every single part of this book with the 20 ladies that Jude takes care of. These older woman are so funny. I was rolling on the floor laughing during these parts of the book. Including them as part of the storyline was genius. I absolutely loved every single one of them and what happens with them. I love the chemistry between Jude and Willow. It is off the charts hot and unique. Even when Willow dislikes him you can easily see that she has feelings for him. This was a unique storyline that was enjoyable from beginning to end. I loved it and highly recommend it.

Much of the world needs love & laughter right now, and I totally get it, but for me?! I NEED MY SPORTS BACK! It's my happy place, my get out of my head place, and I'm truly dying without them. My point being, Elizabeth Perry provided all of the above with the No Touch Zone, and I couldn't love her more at this moment in time. This story is Willow & Jude's story, and it took me out of my head for a good length of time, so I will be revisiting it again & again. Willow is Jude's best friend's little sister, so should be off limits right?! Well when you have the chemistry these two have, it just wasn't enough, and it all came to a head when they were stranded in a blizzard together, so yeah, they lit it up. In the aftermath, he wants to make her his, while she is some other man's person, so he's at the 2 minute warning to get what he wants. If all of that isn't enough, he takes care of this crazy group of ladies who kept me laughing so hard, that they almost stole the show to be honest. Yeah, they were that awesome that I had to mention them. I LOVE Elizabeth Perry's writing style so much, and when you one click, you'll feel the same way! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I thought that this was a good read!
The pace for the story was good and it flowed really well.
I thought that the characters were good and well developed but it did take me a while to warm to them.
It is 4 stars from me for this one, I really enjoyed the story once I got in to it – highly recommended!

An enjoyable sports romance with characters you can’t help but root for and love. Jude and Willow have chemistry and deserve each other. But there is the pesky fiancé that makes you wonder what’s going to happen next. The group of old ladies had me laughing so hard and definitely stole my heart and the story. It’s one romance that you can finish in an afternoon or overnight.

Better Than A Touchdown!!!! Better Than Overtime
It has been a very long time since I enjoyed a book this much. The grey haired brigade was a hoot. I laughed out loud frequently. The love story captured my heart. I never wanted this roller coaster to end!!!! Please keep writing many sequels!!!!!

A sports romance with some great characters you will love. Jude and Willow have chemistry and deserve each other. But there is the pesky fiancé that makes you wonder what’s going to happen next. The group of old ladies had me laughing so hard and will steal your heart. The story was overall enjoyable and one I finished in an afternoon.
