About this listen
Alexandra James gave up her spring break for an offer she couldn't refuse: a week-long job that would earn her enough money to buy her way out of a broken heart. But if she thought her new boss would let her off easy because he's her father's best friend, she couldn't have been more wrong.
Dean Brittany demands perfection from his employees, but none more so than his new temp, since correcting her mistakes seems to fuel his unexpected attraction to her. Unfortunately for him, 18-year-old Alexandra is strictly off limits.
Strictly Off Limits is a forbidden romance novella originally published in the Forbidden Fruit Anthology, Volume 1 (no longer available). It's a quick listen.

Bad boys? They run right over good girls like Georgina Keller. But after a confidence-shattering breakup, she’s determined not to let anyone at her new workplace push her around - least of all the brooding creative director, a “bad boy of publishing”. Sebastian Quinn's taste for fast cars, late nights, and beautiful women may have gotten him to the top of a leading New York magazine, but the reputation that made him is suddenly threatening to end his career. Georgina can help Modern Man shed its bad reputation, but in order to do that, she’ll have to start at the top.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

The inked, rough-around-the-edges bad boy left his reckless ways behind six years ago when his daughter Bell was born. When Bell's mother walked out of their lives, Andrew vowed never to let another woman close enough to hurt them again. Amelia isn't just another woman. She's an independent, smart, and savvy businesswoman who doesn't have time for sex, much less love. But when sharp-tongued Amelia and stubborn Andrew cross paths, sparks fly - and burn.

It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents' house. Under the sweat and dirt, Manning Sutter was as handsome as the sun was bright. He was older, darker, experienced. I wore a smiley-face t-shirt and had never even been kissed. I was too young, he said. I would wait. But I'd learn that no matter what you achieve in life, it means nothing if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn't matter. My older sister saw him next.

But his ruthless brother, Cristiano, will do anything to claim me for himself...Because in the de la Rosa family, old grudges run deeper than loyalty, and betrayal is a three-letter word: war.

Nothing happened, of course - because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster.

Books talk about sparks flying. F--k that shit. With her, it was like emergency flares mixed with jet fuel. Or maybe just straight up napalm. Only one problem: She wouldn't tell me her name or her number when she disappeared from the hotel room after the hottest f--king night of my life. Now I've had a taste of unicorn pussy - the sweetest, rarest of all pussy - and I need it again. So what's an asshole to do? I took this problem to the street, a missed connection gone viral. And when I find her? I'm keeping her.

Story
Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

I like. Better than I thought!
If you could sum up Strictly Off Limits in three words, what would they be?
Oh so good! :-)
What was one of the most memorable moments of Strictly Off Limits?
When Alex realized that Dean was who she wanted and she went to get her man!
Have you listened to any of Melissa Barr’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my second book I've read that Melissa Barr has performed. She gets better and better. Very much enjoyed her voices and the emotions she portrayed.
Any additional comments?
Give this book a listen. Quick, easy and enjoyable. And steamy!

Not really sure
I’m not sure if I love it or hate it but I guess it was okay for me. How things started and I don’t really feel the chemistry between these two. The narrator was great but the story was missing something, maybe because it’s a short story but I don’t know.

What a fantastic little short
Jessica Hawkins is a very talented writer, there is no questioning that but I didn't know how much could fit into such a short little novella. Well let me tell you, ALOT!
Not only was it super hot🔥🔥🔥, Jessica also got a very fun and flirty, taboo story. Definitely a summer must read.

I just took a bite of the forbidden fruit
Would you consider the audio edition of Strictly Off Limits to be better than the print version?
I have read the book and heard the Audio and absolutely would recommend the Audio book.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Mr. Brittany was of course! Why? We all want to read about or watch something that is known to us as taboo or forbidden and hearing how Mr. Brittany struggle with the thought of the unthinkable was absolutely right up my alley.
Have you listened to any of Melissa Barr’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I have not
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me want more Thomas was a short read and Jessica Hawkins being one of my favorite authors.... She has a knack for writing about forbidden love I'd read and or listen to just about any story she has written.

A Quick Forbidden Romance
Any additional comments?
I love Jessica Hawkins books. She writes Forbidden Romance like no other. I was excited to get to listen to this short story and it packs a great story line and heat. I have always liked and have been drawn to older men, so this book speaks to me!

this was a pretty good book, it just seemed like the plot was cut short.

Warning
Once you start to read her books she will become your favorite author. I very highly recommend all her books but my number one book of ALL time ( and I read a lot) is Night Fever.
I originally did not think that I would care for such a younger woman and older man storyline but I should have known better with Ms. Hawkins as the author. Excellent short story. You will not regret purchasing.

A quick, steamy read
Would you consider the audio edition of Strictly Off Limits to be better than the print version?
I prefer the print version, as I am better able to form the characters' voices and inflections in my mind.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Strictly Off Limits?
Dean spanking Alexandra over the omission of a comma. It was reminiscent of the movie "Secretary."
What about Melissa Barr’s performance did you like?
I really enjoyed that she didn't just read each character straight and that I was able to tell when she was reading as a particular character.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"By trying to win back a boy, she found a man."

Candy For the Ears-No More, No Less-Enjoy! ♥
♥
Alexandra is suffering from a broken heart, her boyfriend has just broken up with her and going to Mexico for spring break. As the "dumped" part of the couple Alexandra ops not to go. She has a plan to get her boyfriend back and it includes a $900 dress! (2016)
Fortunately, Alexandra's dad knows that HIS best friend, Dean, needs a temp for a week or so during spring break. It is the perfect opportunity for her to earn enough to cover the dress. The dress her ex will see her in and beg for her to take him back.
Alexandra is not used to Dean in his business sense. So it is a complete surprise to her that the man she is working for demands formality, even though he has known her for her entire life.
Things move quickly from the option of being a temp or a little bit more to Dean. What will Alexandra decide? Okay, we all know what she's going to do!
This is a short, light read, perfect for an afternoon on the beach or on a February day in New England. There is no deep plot to keep track of. I liken this to a box of chocolates. You know that they are so good, and you should only have just one, but before you know it, half of the box is gone! Strictly Off Limits is candy for the ears. Nothing heavy, but also enjoyable.
The narration is good. I was impressed with her ability to portray both male and female characters in a believable way. There are very few narrators that can tell the story without being distracting. Melissa Barr is one of them
If this is your first experience with Jessica Hawkins, I encourage you to listen to her
The Cityscape Series. It is a masterful trilogy that I could not wait for each book to come out!
Notes: 18+ For language and mature themes and talk of BDSM.
Stars: I'm rating this in the "Candy for the Ears" category… Four stars across all categories.
If you are looking for something deep and dramatic, you may disagree with my review.
