I’ve read Secret Promises and Chasing Casey years ago and loved their story’s so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this Off Limits Collection. I was happy to revisit my favorite Jersey crew, also I had to get it in order to read No Regrets.
My review for the first 2 books are both 5stars, you’ll see them on their own links, so I’ll review No Regrets here.
Gabriella was a girl jumping into womanhood, landing with both feet into a run. Even if she was jumping out of a window. A rebel not out to make trouble but to love, dance, and live.
Anthony was a hottie with long hair playing in a band, working hard, and reaching for a goal... reminded me of how a man should be. As hard as life has been he never lost sight of that, although A girl can change a mans plans.
This is where it all started! The Morello family story just got a lot deeper, and a lot hotter. Warning: reading this book I swooned, I cried, I loved, and I cried more. I’m giving it 5 heartfelt, well deserved stars!

This Duet Book is a treasure, with a little pot of gold extra. I have read both Chasing Casey and Secret Promises separately, but the extra novella, No Regrets was the topping on the cake to bring this set full circle.
Secret Promises is the story of Jill and AJ Morello, orphaned siblings who run Morello and Sons Garage and Car Restoration Service left to them by their parents. Jill has put college off for a year to help out and save money and her older brother has given his life and dedication to keeping the Garage running. An old friend of both of them, Jameson, comes back into town after a 5 year absence, and integrates himself into their lives by offering to help out at the Garage. Jill always had a crush on him when she was younger, AJ played in a band with him, so things lighten up a lot when he comes around. But Jameson has secrets that are hidden and AJ doesnt want him around Jill as anything but a friend. But passion like theirs can't be contained or turned off. The explosion is ready to go off and who will be burned?
The next book in this Duet is Chasing Casey. This time it is AJ's story. He helps out with the sound system at the bar Casey has just been hired at. She is new in town and is a loner, a lot like AJ. He sees her and she is it for him! He works hard to get her phone # and when they do finally go out, it is everything! They laugh, they talk, and the sex is off the charts! But Casey is not totally forthcoming about the ex fiance she left behind in Texas, and when tragedy strikes and she has to go home, he is waiting for her. Austin still wants her, and she still has feelings for him, or is it guilt? AJ is pushing her to come back to NJ. What will she do? This is where my kindle went slinging across the room! Epilogue is the BEST!!
The gold nugget in this Duet is No Regrets. It is the story of Anthony Morello and Gabriella Donofrio. The Beginning. It was bittersweet to me. Not because it was sad. It wasn't at all. It was a beautiful love story between two young people who were totally devoted to each other. How hard they had to fight for their love. To me it was a bit like watching Cold Case, where they go back in time and you watch what happened in the past. That was the feeling I got as I read it, already knowing the outcome of their lives. Everytime she lit a cigarette up, my heart died a little bit inside. I just am so in love with this family, I feel like I am a part of them. That's how you know you've found a great author.
This a wonderful collection that you will enjoy reading and you will fall in love will the Morellos, too! FIFTEEN AMAZING STARS - FIVE FOR EACH BOOK!

As usual, Ms. Anthony's words have dug deep, they don't just touch the soul they take root there. I've reviewed Secret Promises and Chasing Casey previously and I'll update this post to reflect that but I wanted to say a few words about the No Regrets novella while it was fresh in my mind. First off, early 90s Jersey girl? PLEASE, she could not speak my language any clearer, I KNEW this was the story for me! Gabby and Anthony were just perfection! Sure, they took chances, but its exactly what I read romance for, the times when people do beat the odds, take the risk and it pays off. Textbook forbidden taboo - checked every box. I finished with a sigh and a sense of joy for the journey, which is how I like to feel after finishing a story, that warm sense of leaving a visit with an old friend.
Secret Promises-
Loved it all as usual! Jane is one of my go to authors when I'm in a slump, I just feel like she gets me and her words always strike a chord, the little things that make a book *MORE* to me. I loved Jillian and Jameson from the start and felt that instant connection that I love to feel when a book really hits home for me. Its her attention to detail I think. It had the intrigue of not knowing Jameson's secret, and I admit that drove me crazy because I usually figure the twists out well ahead, its not often I don't have a clear idea. This book just hit every button for me, as usual I loved every word!
Chasing Casey-
I am a huge fan of her work already, and this story had everything I love about her writing. She really takes you there with her words. Great story, a fantastic (but for real, enough flaws to make him not perfect!) hero, a great heroine in Casey, a hot chemistry and as in life, not all things can go smoothly so add in a dash of the f-ery this author is known for make this a MUST READ!
To sum it up, whether you're a fan of her work or just coming across her for the first time, this author paints such a beautiful picture with her words, you'll want to crawl inside her world and visit. This story comes full circle and needs to be experienced. Can't recommend this enough!

I didn't think there was anything left to go with the Off Limits duet. AJ and Jillian, got their happy endings in Secrets and Promises and Chasing Casey. (I'll add my reviews for those here also.)
No Regrets is a tale of a young love, that came out of nowhere. You couldn't help but get caught up in the whirlwind, experiencing the moments, and wanting to hold on. There were a few nostalgic scenes, having grown up in the 80s and 90s, having sites and sounds come back. I love Anthony and Gabriella, and their story here. They held on tight to what they wanted, and went for it all. A fantastic addition, bringing the Morello's story, full-circle, inserting a piece I didn't realize was missing.
Secrets and Promises
I was a little backwards in reading this duet, but it didn't deter me from the story one bit. In this story, we get to read about Jillian and Jameson. I loved these two!
Jillian and AJ have been making do, being a power pair, running the family business. Enter Jameson, an old friend, and instead of running through town to take care of some business, he stays to help out.
Jameson and Jillian are falling, and AJ is not blind to it, giving us the brother's best friend forbidden love. There's tension, passion, heartbreak, and so much more. This was a wonderful story, and I can't wait to read more from this author.
Chasing Casey
I have come to love this author's work. In Chasing Casey, she gives us a love triangle, where AJ and Austin are complete opposites, and Casey is in the middle. Casey has become a strong, quiet type. AJ, is a bit the same, but they both manage to see something, and get past each other's walls. Austin was part of her past, but has now re-entered, as she faces things, and decides who she really loves, the cowboy or musician.
Some feel good, hot moments, along with heartbreak, and a twist I didn't quite see coming. You'll want to read to find out who wins the chase.

Ms. Anthony did it again with this novella making this the perfect ending or beginning to the Off Limits Collection. In Secrets and Promises book 1 in the collection you get the story of Jillian Morello and Jameson. The little sister and the older best friend of her brothers. Book 2 in the Off Limits Collection is Chasing Casey which gives us the story of A.J. Morello and country girl Casey. When the hard working grease monkey meets the county girl turned city things get pretty heated. Then you get No Regrets the third book in the Off Limits Collection, now this book takes you back to how it all started with not so innocent Catholic school girl Gabriella and aspiring guitar player with a love of fixing cars Anthony Morello. This novella is perfect fit with the amount of heat, written perfectly to transport you right back to the 80's. This entire collection is a must read!

No Regrets by Jane Anthony brings the forbidden, steamy, and angsty. I can always count on Jane to give me all the feels while offering up a heavy dose to steam from her characters. Anthony, her male lead in No Regrets is everything a bad boy rocker should be and so much more.
Jane Anthony knows how to kill it wither beautifully poetic writing, and this time it's no different. She's stepped up her A-game, and brought a delicious read in this exclusively released novella which you can ONLY get in this set. So, if you want steamy, forbidden goodness, grab the Off Limits Collection!
**I've read book one and two and reviewed on their respective pages, so this review is focused on No Regrets**

Review for OFF LIMITS
Jane Anthony has a gift, a gift to weave a late of the ordinary and make it extraordinary. Gabby and Anthony's story has heart. Their love and attraction shine off the page. And their own struggle are so much relatable that they hit the reader in their hearts. I teared up in so many scenes because Jane's writing made you feel like you were right there.
This collection is a must read if you are looking for a story with depth and heart!

I recieved this book via ARC in exchange for my review.
HOW THE HELL DOES JANE DO IT?
1. I have not read a book by her that I haven't liked.
2. She has a way with words and her purdy mouth! 😉
Jane has a way with her words that suck you in completely. I couldn't put this book down. (Okay so that's what I do with all her books BUT not the point.)

Both books were fantastic. Left reviews for the individual books. 5 Stars each.
The added story of how it all began was so well written and flowed from one page to the next.
Anthony Morello and Gabriella had a love that knew no end. Gabriella went against her father to be with Anthony. They were young but made all their dreams come true.

I'm a lover of box sets and was so excited to read this one!
The first story is Secret Promises and it will melt your heart. Jillian and AJ are brother and sister and run a automotive shop. One day, Jameson comes into the shop and Jillian is instantly smitten. Then she realizes, she knows him from the past! But AJ, while a friend, isn't a fan for some reason and doesn't want them together. Do they embark on a relationship anyway? Will the truth from Jameson's past come to light? I really enjoyed reading Jameson and Jillian's story and didn't want it to end. These two seriously belong together!
The second story is Chasing Casey and this one will also pull at your heartstrings. This story is about AJ who you meet in Secret Promises. He is the glue that holds the family together and doesn’t have time for a relationship until one night Casey walks into the bar he helps out at. All bets are off! Something about her calls to him. As they embark on a relationship something from her past comes to light and she has to leave. Will AJ go with her? Can she live without him? These two have incredible chemistry and I hoped they would work it out. If you want to know what happens, then read this story of lust and love!
No Regrets is the third book and absolutely blew me away! It is everything! The story of Anthony and Gabriella will hold you captive from the very beginning to the very end! They are both young, but love will get them thru all the ups and downs. I am so in love with these characters, I can’t even explain how much! I can’t say much more as I don’t want to spoil it for you, but trust me, this book is pure brilliance!

Wow! I was blown away by No Regrets. I read and reviewd Secret Promises and Chasing Casey years ago. I loved both of these stories so much that when I heard about No Regrets I knew I had to read it. It did not disappoint! No Regrets melted my heart, made me swoon, and of course made me cry. I love these characters so much and I love how No Regrets ties in with the first two books and completes this series.
Anthony Morello is a gas station attendant by day and bad boy rocker by night. When Anthony meets the young and beautiful Gabriella he knows his world will never be the same. The strong connection that he feels between them is like no other he's ever felt.
Gabriella Donofrio is a beautiful rebellious 17 year old that's full of life and a little on the stubborn side. When she wants something nothing will stop her not even her very strict and over protective father. Once she met Anthony she knew he was the one.
The forbidden love and chemistry between Anthony and Gabriella is beautiful and touching. No Regrets gave me all the feels that a wonderful love story should. It really is a bittersweet. You will understand once you read the first two books. I high recommend reading this amazing series. I promise you will have no regrets.

I read the limited edition novella 'No Regrets' only available within the Off Limits Collection as an ARC.
I adore Jane's work and the characters in all her books, they are so easy to fall for, they drag you into their worlds and make you want to drag them to your bed.
No Regrets - No Limits Bonus Novella
Anthony Morello & Gabriella Donofrio are hot and totally swoon-worthy. Their romance is forbidden but that could never stop them - no one can.
Gaby is the forbidden fruit, she's Catholic, a virgin and a bit of a rebel.
Anthony is caring, mature, and all about his music and cars, until he meets Gaby.
They face the loss of loved ones, the controlling father that doesn't want to let his daughter grow up, general struggles of a young couple, but they make it happen and it happens on their own terms.

This collection from Jane Anthony is 5 stars kind of great! The stories for all of these couples are fun and sexy, sweet and powerful. And if you haven't read any of them before... this is a great chance to get them all together! I was very entertained by all of the stories in this collections. They have all pulled me in and totally captivated me on so many levels. Reviews for the other 2 stories are on their individual links....
*Here are my thoughts specifically on No Regrets*
What a great story! Anthony and Gabby are so wonderful! They are hot and sweet all wrapped into one package! I really enjoyed their story! And the relationship between Gabby and her dad was insane! I would have gone crazy with a parent like that. For it now being a very long story there sure was a lot of information and feelings packed into it. And at no time did I feel like their story was being rushed... and as much as I would loved to have spent more time with Anthony and Gabby, I so not feel at all like this story was missing anything or that it was lacking in any way.

This is an amazing collection from this author. Each story has it’s heroine and hero that you will fall in love with, the chemistry is off the charts, there’s emotions, passion. I loved AJ and Casey in Chasing Casey, when you know you just know, but Casey is keeping a secret and when AJ finds out, he’s in for the ride of his life.
Secret Promises
Jill and Jameson were, hot, hot, hot. Jill has had a crush on Jameson for sometime now and when he’s back in town he’s all she can think about and the closer they get her brother starts to put the hammer down telling Jameson she’s off limits. Who can stand in the way of love? Right?
No Regrets
Loved Gabrielle and Anthony, their story is sweet, and full of love. When two people work so hard to be together, you just know they are meant to be. I received a copy of this book.

This excellent collection contains brings together both books in the Off Limits duet and adds in the brand new, exclusive novella. The Morello's will really capture your heart as you enjoy this reads. I loved the original books in the duet (they are both 5 star reads!) and was beyond thrilled to get to experience the epic love story that brought us Jillian and AJ. Wonderful characters, tension, drama, emotion and heat are combined with engaging story lines to create three delightful reads. Also, as a special note, No Regrets was totally rad! LOL Yes prepare yourself to be transported back to the 1980's for Anthony and Gabriella's romance. This forbidden romance was super retro and I liked that. If you remember the 80's you're gonna love it. I highly recommend these books. I am freely posting a frank review.

Three Must Reads!!!
Each of these three books is excellent!
(If you want to read them in chronological order of the Morello family timeline, the three stories would be in the following order:
No Regrets
Secret Promises
Chasing Casey)
Jane Anthony's Off Limits collection contains three emotion packed love stories sure to grab your heart. Hardworking, blue collar, rock music loving couples who find love and hold on through trials of grief, loss, and even danger. Some graphic sex, foul language, and violence. Each one of these couple's stories grabbed my attention and held on to my heart with the emotions and feelings of young love as they face loss, grief, and detriments that seem insurmountable. These three stories are must reads.
Thank you to Jane Anthony for including the story of the couple who started the Morello family. I fell in love with them immediately.

After reading Secret Promises and Chasing Casey a while back (both of which I have reviewed separately), I was eager to read No Regrets and see just how this family came to be. This review will be solely on No Regrets.
I loved going back to the 80's with the big hair band music, wearing band t-shirts and high tops. Anthony and Gabriella brought all the fire, determination and pure grit that had me falling in love with their offspring in the aforementioned novels. This collection was pure nostalgia for me and felt like visiting old friends. So, if you're looking for angsty, forbidden romances with some wicked little twists and a whole lot of smexy hotness, this Off Limits Collection is for you!

If you knew that when you met the love of your life, you’d only get a short tome with them, would you take that’s risk?
Anthony and Gabby were meant to be. In every sense of the word. He was her first love, her first everything. In a world swirled with sadness, they find each other. They’re the light in each other’s world, that kind of love is....everything. It’s life. It’s the reason for loving, breathing...for being.
I fell in love with their tragic love story during Secret Promises and Chasing Casey. I’m sad that they didn’t get to see the amazing families their kids created.
If you live the 80s, the music, the clothes, and the style, I highly recommend this book.
Jane has definitely outdone herself.
Oh and be sure to have some tissues ready!

Old and new brought together!! Loved every word!!
Back to the beginning Jane takes us with this collection. I fell in love with these characters what feels like years and years ago. And now she gives us a new addition. Where it all began. Jane Anthony has a way of not only bringing her characters to live but inserting them in our hearts. These characters are real. You can feel every emotion they have. You can laugh, cry, smile and get a little angry with every word that is written. I loved each and evey one of these stories and now they are all together. Where they belong. Off Limits reminds us that nothing is too taboo. Everything happens for a reason. And as long as you surround yourself with people you love and trust, anything is possible.

I love the Morello series. This book adds more details to their story; yet it still has me wanting more. Selfish, I know. Actually this novella gives insight to the beginning of their stories. In the back of my mind, I wondered about the elder Morellos and Mrs. Anthony delivered a pitch perfect story to get things started. To be honest, this novella about the parents of Jillian and AJ has me wanting to read their stories again. If you haven’t read this series, I suggest you do so. No Regrets is the beginning but let me tell you, each story will have you binge reading until the end.

Like Visiting Old Friends and Learning Something New
Another amazing addition to Jane Anthony’s collection. Three stories in one collection and having already read the first two it was like coming home to read them again. The cherry on the cake though was the new novella detailing the love story behind the senior Morellos. Intense, steamy, angsty and filled with bittersweet emotion at the end of this journey, Gabby and Anthony’s story will stay with you long after you are done reading.

This combination of two wonderful books and a new novella - ’No regrets’ - couldn’t be better. No regrets gives us the story of Gabby and Anthony, that we didn’t have earlier.
I re-read ’Secrets and Promises’ and ’Chasing Casey’ and these books could be read several times.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book

Start your Jane Anthony love with this boxset!
If your looking for some romantic off limits love stories then dive right into these sizzling stories. They might be interconnected standalones but each couple brings something all their own to the table that you’ll just want to devour all the words in one binge!

This is the BEST
I had read the first two books before this collection was released and the third story was the perfect addition. This book is the love story that started all and you don't want to miss it. I just finished and I am a content pile of mush. Kudos to the author for another great love story.

Another great one.
Jane Anthony never disappoints me with her wrote. Always well written and amazing story lines.
She once again made me fall in love with imaginary people and cheer them on, even when I wanted to punch them.
