Off Limits Kindle Edition

From the author of Deep Woods comes a scorching, standalone romantic suspense to cozy up with. He’s a gorgeous former military badass who sleeps with every woman he sees. She’s his best friend’s book-loving little sister and strictly forbidden. When the pair journey deep into the frozen wilderness to rescue her brother, will anything remain off limits?

I love my life. Each day, I kick ass as part of a private security team. Each night I hook up with a new woman who melts for my British accent. Relationships? I don’t do relationships.

Until I meet Erin, a shy tech genius with a body that drives me crazy and a serious book habit. We’re complete opposites but when I look into those pale blue eyes, I’m smitten. Then the bomb drops: Erin’s big brother is JD, my team leader and closest friend. JD knows I’m Mr. One Night Stand and makes me promise to stay away from his sister. If I sleep with her, I’ll lose my best friend forever.

But while on a mission in Europe, JD is captured. And the only person with the tech skills to get him out is Erin. Letting her come on a dangerous rescue mission goes against all my protective instincts. But she’s determined to help and I can’t let JD die.

To save him, Erin and I must head deep into the Siberian wilderness. Surviving the freezing temperatures and wild animals means staying close. But the closer we get, the more I want to pull her to me and tear her clothes off. Neither of us can resist and, for the first time, I want something permanent, something real.

How do I choose between the woman I’ve fallen for and the best friend who means everything to me? Our secret threatens to tear the team apart just as we need to work together. We’ve stumbled onto something terrifying and unless we can solve a decades-old mystery, none of us are coming home.

Standalone romantic suspense with no cheating and guaranteed HEA

Erin drops everything and heads to Mount Mercy to be with her brother JD. Despite the ten year age gap, they are very close especially since the loss of his wife and young son. Erin is content behind her computer hiding away from the world but recent developments have her at a loss, so seeing JD is all she needs. JD works for Stormfinch Security, as does his best friend Danny. Danny Briggs, former SAS and current bad boy- British ladies man is more than just a best friend to JD, they are like brothers.
When Danny sees Erin in need of assistance, he steps in to help and ultimately watches over her while she waits to meet with her brother. Danny has no idea that Erin's brother and his best friend are one in the same, but he's about to find out and learn he may be JD's best bud but where Erin is concerned, she is officially off limits. When an op goes sideways, the team must rally to rescue one of their own. JD has been captured and all hands are on deck, including Erin's. JD's friendship is important to Danny and not only have they seen a lot, they have been through a lot together. The way Danny feels about Erin is nothing he's ever felt before. JD knows Danny all too well and in his eyes, there's no way Danny deserves her. Now the only woman Danny has ever wanted is completely off limits and she would have to stay that way if he wanted to keep his best friend/brother who has saved his life numerous times in many different ways. Now it was time to save JD.

If you're looking for lots of action and suspense mixed with drama and lots of smoking hot romance, look no further, this book delivers! I was cheering on Erin and Danny from the beginning! Fantastic storyline with well developed main and secondary characters!
I absolutely loved this book! A wonderful addition to this awesome series!!!

Off Limits by Helena Newbury is an older brother’s best friend romance, but more than that, it’s an action infused roller coaster ride. Erin and Danny meet right after she is gullibly robbed and Danny steps in to give her a hand getting her belongings back. Danny tells Erin that he is just a mechanic, not mentioning that he is also part of an elite covert ops group that just happens to be the team that Erin’s brother heads up.

Erin is sweet, a little naive and a self-professed computer geek. She’s just lost her job and her boyfriend, and she’s come to Mount Mercy to see her brother and try to regroup. She and Danny connect right away, and Danny begins to think that it might be nice to have someone in his life who is more than a one time fling. Until Erin’s brother JD shows up. Knowing the kind of guy Danny typically is with women, JD warns him to stay away from Erin. This proves to be nearly impossible for Danny and Erin both and when JD is captured on an op and the team needs Erin to come along on a rescue mission, their attraction for one another is put to the test.

This book had non-stop action with the team in constant danger on foreign soil with few allies to help them. They need to call on everyone’s individual skill to survive and to get back home with the team intact. The story was fast paced, engaging and just a whole lot of fun. I liked the conflict between Danny and JD with Erin at the center, and the romance and chemistry between Danny and Erin was supremely hot with a side of super sweet. I just fell in love with this couple. Another great read from Helena Newbury.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing story! a 1,000 Stars!

I wonder what it is like in Helena Newbury’s mind when she is crafting a book? How does she create all the dangerous scenarios that she places the heroes and heroines in? How does she extricate them from the peril just to plunge them into frozen lakes? How do they escape from inescapable prisons built into sides of mountains in Siberia, fend off wolf attacks, and dangle over cliffs trying to rescue a bomb? All this and fall in love at the same time?

Her mind must not shut off. This is the second book about the band of mercenary misfits bonded together in No Angel and Off Limits is every bit as good if not better as the first. This story is the tale of Danny and Erin, two of the most unlikely people to fall in love. He is a tank of man from the rough streets of London; she is JD’s tiny baby sister- awkward and shy. He is muscles and brawn in a tailored suit. She wears glasses and her hair in a braided plait down her back. He is a skilled auto mechanic/driver, and she is a electronic techno wizard and yet they match. But must stay away from each other because of JD, his best friend and her big brother, who warned them away.

Every word in this book is a delight! It is a mad cap story that takes the reader around the world as the team tries to solve the riddle of the sisters. The reader is on the edge of the seat flipping pages as fast as they can be read.

It is always good to go back to Mount Mercy. To visit with old friends like Gabriel and Olivia and Kian and Emily, Bethany and Cal and Rufus. I remain Helena Newbury’s Number One Fan and can’t wait for JD’s story

I really enjoyed this book, I was looking for something with a little action and found it, I flew through it in a couple days.

When Danny and Erin meet, it's magnetic, unfortunately they soon realize they need to tamp down the passion that arcs between them as Danny's best friend is Erin's brother and he is against them developing any kind of relationship. Danny is a member of the Stormfinch Security team, he's former SAS and a talented driver, a skill he picked up from a misspent youth and something of a ladies man, guarding his heart as a result of his less than ideal childhood. Erin is a brainiac at loose ends after a contentious break-up costs her her job and home. She finds herself in Mount Mercy to spend time with her older brother JD, who is the team lead of the Stormfinch Security team, as a truly tragic anniversary for him passes. When her brother is taken during a mission gone wrong she shows her mettle and joins the rescue op alongside Danny and the rest of the team to Siberia and Berlin. Now, if only she could stay by his side forever...

A few things kept this from being a five-star read for me:
- The insta-love (love-at-first-sight doesn't really resonate with me in a longer novel format as you have the luxury to take the time to show the characters falling for each other. I can somewhat tolerate it in a novella as you are limited in story length)
- The huge cast of characters that was dumped on the reader all at once (I was forced to grab a pen and paper to write down the names of the other team members and their respective partners). I imagine they all have books on their own so if you'd read those (assuming they exist) you would be fine, I was reading this as a standalone because that's what is was billed as in the description and it was too overwhelming.
- The timing of most of the intimacy, which occurs primarily after some death defying action. It felt like the book had been written and then the author realized she forgot all the bedroom scenes so threw a dart at the outline to decide where they would go. It just didn't naturally flow for me.
- The death defying action was a little over the top, there was A LOT going on and it required a lot of suspension of disbelief.

Yikes, I didn't realize I had so many things I didn't like.

I guess that's a testament to the author's writing that despite several things that brought me out of the story she was able to bring me back, keep me engaged and entertained and ultimately I enjoyed the ride. I would definitely read more of her books.

What an incredibly amazing book.
I enjoyed every second of it.
The story is like a mix between 007 and Rambo. Just Rambo was never as hot as the characters from this story ;-))

Take a nerdy heroine, throw in a cocky soldier and a secret mission gone awry, and you get an insanely suspenseful and exciting book in the unique Helena Newbury style.

I love action romances.
There is something incredibly exciting about a dangerous, deadly and adventure filled story that is not only entertaining and dramatic but also full of unknown dangers, which requires a lot of special skills to survive it.

Erin's and Danny's story starts with a big bang and a British knight in shining armor.
She's shy and nerdy. He's a charming, cocky womanizer.

What neither of them knows is that they are about to experience their worst nightmare in a few days.
A dramatic event that will force them to fight together for their lives and change them forever.

Have I already written how much I love this book? Infinite!

It's definitely a must-read-page-turner for all lovers of action-packed romances.

I was expecting the usual shallow romance stuff but was pleasantly surprised to find an actual story line and some character development. Not saying it’s great literature but it’s a big step up from most bodice rippers. Highly recommended.
