Publisher's summary

From the New York Times bestselling author of Practice Makes Perfect and The Cheat Sheet comes an expanded edition of The Off-Limits Rule—a heartwarming romance about new love and fresh beginnings, with a never-before-seen chapter.

Rules are made to be broken—especially for love, right?

Lucy Marshall has hit rock bottom. After failing to succeed as a single mom in Atlanta, she’s back home and moving in with her older brother, Drew. Reconnecting with her support system is the right thing to do, but Lucy can’t help but feel like a failure. Her four-year-old son deserves the world, and all she can give him is a spare bedroom. But Drew is the sweetest uncle, and some quality time might be exactly what they both need to start fresh. That is until she meets Cooper, her brother’s incredibly hot best friend.

When Drew senses something between the two of them, he puts his foot down on any shenanigans. According to him, Cooper is everything Lucy should stay away from: flirtatious, adventurous, and especially noncommittal. But Lucy has been getting the opposite impression so far; Cooper is a genuinely great guy, and she’s starting to catch real feelings.

Her whole life, Lucy has tried to do everything right, and look where that’s gotten her—so what if she were to try something wrong?

I liked it, liked that Cooper helped Lucy with her self esteem also that he put her child’s father in place.

The book is amazing, but…..

So I love love love this read, but unfortunately I didn’t like how much she doubted herself. It was so disheartening to hear at times. But, again great book ♥️

Meh

Story was kind of boring and predictable. Needed more intimate/romantic scenes to keep interest

Clean and quirky

Great heroine and you can easily relate too. Didn’t love the narration but loved the story! Quick and easy and even a little cheesy.

Fast fun read!

I loved this. The narrators were great, the female narrator reminded me a little of Reese Witherspoon, which really solidified the romcom vibe. And the male narrator had a voice that embodied the MMC perfectly.

Honestly, I just love Sarah Adams’ stories. She is a phenomenal writer, and I love the way she writes real feelings and honest emotions and swoony scenes that are closed door. They are fantastic. I’m excited to read the next one!

Delightful PG Love Story

This book was very PG while still keeping my attention. I LOVED every one of the characters. Moms will love Lucy and be able to relate to her so much.
I also really love that there was plot development without a hugely dramatic arc. There’s absolutely nothing in this book to stress you out. Just happiness.
Only negative is that the male narrator’s voice was a little strange. It didn’t sound like it matched the character, if that makes sense. It was slightly distracting.

Delicious from start to finish!

I love this book!!!! It has it all!
Incredible characters/chemistry/kisses/laughs/personalities…. It’s the whole package.
After reading it on my kindle I also got the audiobook and 🔥❤️. The voices were fantastic!
She’s adorable and was EXACTLY how I heard Lucy in my mind.
Tor Tom could read the phone book to me and make it sound sultry!
Highly recommend in all its forms.
